excellent music for the dancing.
The hall never looked more beaut
iful or attractive as it did on this oc

praise given them on that evening by

gracefully arranged along the walls
and between each window these were
centered with bright colored Indian
robes. The orchestra was stationed at
the rear of a screen formed of the

RECOLLECTIONS OF CIVIL WAR.
(The following poem was read by
Frank Moore, at the meeting of
Meade Post, G. A. R. Saturday Last.)
When the cotton states seceded and
declared themselves for war,
In the north were many doubters,
many thought they'd gone too far.
When the rebels fired on Sumter,
and the air was filled with smoke
It was then that all the doubters
knew, the traitors meant no joke
It was then that Father Abraham
took chargo of the ship of state
It was then our great commander
met the issue plain and straight.
At first 'twas thought few thousands
of our patriotic men
Would disperse the rebel forces and
the flag we'd raise again
But soon it was discovered that re
bellion's hosts were strong,
And soon it was apparent that we'd
need a murhty throng.
Then another call was issued, and we
yelled it o'er and o'er,
"We are coming Father Abraham,
three hundred thousand more."
There was then a great uprising
throughout the loyal north,
There was then a mighty marshal
ing of the legions we sent forth
To the rescue of the capitol, it was
in daneer then.
From destruction by the rebels, who
had many thousand men,
And then we had a battle on Bull
Run's ill-fated field
And our forces beaten backward, and
the ground we had to yield.
Though the blow was most discour-
aeinsr. the cause was far from lost.
The struggle must go onward, how
ever srreat the cost.
As soon as we recovered and our men
acain in line.
The cry was "On to Richmond" by
the men who stayed behind.
And now the mighty Lincoln, with
eood and thouehtful care,
Placed the gallant George McClellan
in command of forces there
When the great campaign was op
ened in the spring of sixty two
We had a mighty army and the
atrutrele did renew
But when we marched on Richmond
our time had not yet come.
Driving rebels from their trenches
was not so easy done
After many desperate battles and
our efforts seemed in vain,
Retreat was ordered sounded and we
turned back again.
Though the President was disheart
ened, from the right he never
swerved.
The union indissoluble, must ever be
preserved.
Then he issued solemn warning for
the rebels to disband
Else he'd lift the wicked shackles
from all slaves within the land.
And on the first of January in eight
een sixty three
He signed the proclamation making
all the black men free.
Though the boys in the Eastern army
had always done their best,
The news was more inspiring from
our forces in the West.
It was there that Grant and Sherman
and gallant Rosecrans,
Had raised the starry banner o'er
many rebel bands.
Donaldson, Shiloh, Memphis, were
now safely in our line,
The Johnnies had skedaddled, leav
ing many men behind,
And now the old Mississippi was what
we needed most
And Grant goes down to Vicksburg
to seize that lofty post
The siege was hard contested and the
struggle lasted long,
And when the . rebs surrendered,
they were thirty thousand strong.
And on the same day at Gettysburg,
great victory crowned our arms,
The rebels had been vanquished and
we thought they d now disarm.
But they soon recuperated, and once
more made bold defense. ,
And our great impatient army re
solved to drive them hence.
At Mission Ridge and Lookout
Mountains the rebels fled pell
mell Then Sherman sought Atlanta, where
he said that "war was hell."
When the little town surrendered
and carnage changed to glee,
The boys were wildly shouting "From
Atlanta to the sea."
Hood then collects his crippled forces
resolving to retrieve his name,
But he meets the doughty Thomas
and his hopes are dashed again.
And yet the Eastern army 'had still
a stubborn foe,
The greatest of our generals had been
summoned to give blow.
At Wilderness and Spottsylvania the
rebs made desperate fight
But our forces chased them back
ward because their cause was right.
There was then a flanking move
ment around the force of Gen. Lee
When our brave determined army
drove back the enemy,
Then Richmond was surrendered and
the rebels made' retreat,
They fell back on Appomattox, where
they mat their last defeat
Of course there was rejoicing, our
cause had finally won,
The grand old starry banner was
still waving in the sun
But our glee was of short duration,
our joy had turned to grief,
The bullet of an assassin had struck
down our noble chief,
The nation shrieked with horror, at
news of terrible blow,
All heads were bowed in sorrow,
filled with anguish and with woe,
The gentle, patient Lincoln, who had
charity for all,
Had been robbed of fruits of victory
by his untimely fall,
The land was draped in mourning
for many months to come,
Though we'd gained a glorious vic
tory the fight was dearly won.
On the highest niche that's possible
in the wondrous hall of fame
There will always be. recorded our
great commander's name.

HOW AN INDIANA GIRL
Got Strong and Well Again at
Small Cost.
Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden, Ini,
Bays: "I was a complete wreck, al
ways tired, wornout and nervous, I
had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed and my life was not worth
living. Vlnol, your delicious cod liver
and Iron tonic, was recommended, and
It has done me more good than all the
medicine I ever took in my life. That
nervous and tired feeling Is all gone.
I have gained In health, flesh and
strength, until I feel like another per
son." Vlnol is the most efficient strength
creator for such women. It is the
medicinal elements of the coils' livers
contained In Vlnol, aided by the blood
making and strengthening proportles
of tonic Iron, which makes It so far
superior to all other tonics to build
tip health and strength for weak,
tired, ailing women. It contains no
oil and has a dorfcleua taste.
We give back your monoy If Vlnol
does not do all that W claim.
