Foot Collins, Colo., May 20.1905.— Comrades «*f Shiloh Post and old friends of Sherman county: As the smoke wreathes from my meditative pipp. the vision of mv mind retreats to the dear old bvgom s of our “auld Lang Svue ’• | and like the old coffee cooler that 1 am teel as though I had ran the guard and was absent from camp without leave. I who desires to report. As Memorial Day approaches, how i natural it is for our thoughts to purstte ; a backward course, lmw they persist in I delving into the dark vista of ihe past. we are called back to the darkest period j of our nation's existence, back to that memorable 12th ot April. 1801, the /bombardment of Fort Sumter, to the first call for 75,000 volunteers, to the day .we first donned the blue and when we camped, marched, fought and drunk trom the same canteen. Comrade?, the ev olution of great and important events in the p st 50 years, has made us a nation, grtat, grand and powerful. We look back to these events and see them placed as beautiful, indescribable monuments of power, irestige and glory, and we are proud of them: among I these events there is one which is treasured in our heart and in the hearts of all loyal Americans, as the crown ; iug event of all. tor by and through it f Columbia is indebted fai all that i- ours ! to enjoy today. This event, the selection, election and inauguration of the President of a ■ seemingly disunited nation, at a }>eriod i in the history ot our county when from ! the throats ot nearly every man, woman ! and child came the discordant cries of j secession, dissolution and dismember ; ment, at a time when the inaugaration ] of the President, of any man north ol | the famous Mason and Dixon line, j meant war. it m-ant a terrific struggle j for the supremacy of flags and a dis i solved union. Comrades, you and I co-op* rated in the affairs of this event; you remember we were let in on the ground floor and honored with front seats under the glow of the footlights; you remember the incidents connected with the wild and stormy presidential campaign of 1860, notwithstanding the threats of war and dissolution, if a Union presi dent was elected, yet the only meane v which the north could be successful by the disruption of the then Solid South, and through a pre-arranged un derstanding met in convention at Charleston, and after a stormy session became disrupted and adjourned to Bal timore. and Stephen A. Douglas of the northern wing of the democracy was chosen. The south shortly after nomi nated J. C. Breckenridge, and with two candidates in the field that grand old party that had presented a solid front for nearly sixty years was cut in twain and a Uni* n president was elected, one that h id patriotism and love of country first firmily in his hear', a president with th" will and the nerve to declar and uphold the principle that this our Union must and shall pe preserved. Comrades and friend?, this utterance fell from the lips of that grand old man. our then commander in chief of the re public. our first martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, a name revered by the entire Chiistian world, a ;name ut tered. my arm. unhidden, raises to sa lute. the grandest of men. beloved of nations, a brilliant and loyal statesman, mighty in war, gracious in peace and first in the hearts of bis countrymen; whose scratch of the pen was a man late which called nearly three million Union defenders to the front and field from the farm, the shop, the factory, the mines, the bank, the store and the ?ehoo‘s to rally around Old Glorv. Comi-Hd* s, fourtr-four years h ive passed. How vividly we recall the first five years of that period, when the stirring music of the fife and drum was heard in every city, town and h tm’et, calling for volunteers. While yet the smoke hung thick and black on the crumbling towers of Sum ter, the wires flashed the news that war had been declared, and with it carne the call for 75,000 hoys. That's what they called us. You remember that 400,000 responded to that call and in less than six dats every state in the north bad supplied its quota, and a major portion , of them armed and equipped had struck t the trail for Dixie, How proud we sto:d in our iirrt suit Union Memorial Services will be held at the opera house next Sunday at 10:30. Comrades and ladies of the G. A. R. meet at Society Hall at 10 a. m. and march to the Opera House. Tuesday. May 30th, exercises will be held at the Opera House at 1 o'clock. All the teachers are invited to meet with their pupils at the schoolhouse at 1:2:30 p. m and march to Society Hall and join the soldiers and ladies of the G. A. R.. citizens and friends and march to the Opera House where the following program will be rendered: Music by the choir. Prayer Music. Ladies Quartette. Lincoln's Address at Gettysburg. Chorus by choir. Address by Hon. R. P. Starr. Music. Benediction. After the exercises at the Opera House, all will go to the cemetery and Ueeorate the soldier’s graves. of shoddv blue and bow brave we all felt alien we received our first gun. fbey were tbe old Harpers Ferrv flint locks, re modeled and supplied with precussion tubes. Hoys, you and 1 stood b bind those guns and what nerve arul bravery it took to bold our positions. We will never forger tbe incidents and associations of our early camp life: tbe squad,company and battilion drills; guard mount, reviews and dress parade: reveille at Minrise and taps at lights out: tbe pitching of tents and striking of camps; the long weary marches. Hie bard fought buttles, the dead, dying and wounded; and all the incidents ol war hum tbe fall of Sumter to the-drop of the cm tain at Appomattox bv Grant, when be mtered those blessed words. "Let us have peace" How long w• bad waited for those words Such a shout of joy was never heard before as came from ti.e 151ue and tbe Gray, ibe! north and the south, the east and tbe west, all joined in one joyous shout. Ye* boys, as Memorid Day with its beautiful service of flowers, draws near, we are called back; we are again tent ing on tbe old camp ground and hear the cheery voice of the orderly as be sings that oft repeated command, “Fall in, fall in,” for roll call, drill or dress parade.’’ We’ve mounted guard and thr first relief are pacing their beats. Comrades, of tbe millions of brave j bo vs who re.s ponped to their country’s | call, nearly fifty years ago. but few are left today. One by one they leave us. mustered out, the small remnant of { the old Guard is ou its last mArch. We are slowly but surely me mg on. But a tew more years when t? i last of tbe heroes of’G1 will have entered, fame’s eternal camping-ground. Tbe Memorial Day is not *ar distant when some little child, some one's darling, will place tl >wers on tbe grave of tip- I last brave bov of tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic. With best wishes to all and many bright and jolly campfires, I am as ever E. G. Faige. Additional Locals. ■ Balduff’s ice cream, pint or quart j at Odemlahl Bros. Mrs. Geo.

Ibseu's gie»t drama. “Ghosts,” was present d at the opera house last Satur day by one of the strongest companies that has ever appeared in Loup City and was one of most intense dra matic interest. “Ghosts" is one of the greatest plays on the American stage at present. Here's another ancient item taken from Cooley’s last week’s Arcadia Champion. Isn’t it a doodle? “The man who was shot last wees by the marshal at Ashton, who claims to lie a rancher living north of here, and who the Loup City pap rs characterized as a bum, came in on the train Monday evening. He purchased a suit of clothes and went on his journey north ward seeming to be none the worse for wear.’’ For heaven’s sake, Cooley! Wake up! We have receive d a copy of the Kalo na (la.) News giving a lengthy account of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Carpenter at that place May 13, parents of Mrs. A. Boone, who went to atend the anniversary and is now visit ing them. Mrs. Boone is one of seven children, five boys and two girls, all { alive and in good health, and a grand reunion was held on that occasion The News clos< s its article with these hap py words: “Fate has been kind to the Carpenter family, for the hearse has never been at their door.” Grandpa and Grandma Carpenter lived in Sher man county, near Rockville from 1x83 to 1894.
