Boys’ Brigade Formed. 
The organization to be known as 
the Baptist Boys’ Brigade, was ef- 
fected in Manchester Wednesday 
evening by Rev. Edward H. Brewster, 
when twenty-three boys, ranging in 
ages from eleven to seventeen, fell 
into line and took the three following 
obligations : 
1. To obey all superior officers, 
and to sustain the objects of the B.B.B. 
2. To abstain from the use of to- 
bacco in any form. 
3. To abstain from the use of pro- 
fanity. 
The company, designated Company 
“A,” fell into line and were taught 
the rudiments of company drill. 
The organization is non-sectarian, 
and has three objects to pursue, viz: 
patriotism, morality, manliness. Any 
boy will be received on promise to 
observe strictly the three obligations, 
and the payment of five cents a week 
dues, this being the amount fixed by 
a vote of the boys Wednesday night. 
The company wili in time be uni- 
formed and equipped with the usual 
military accoutrements. B.B.B.songs 
will be sung at each meeting. 
Visitors will not be admitted after 
next Wednesday evening save on pre- 
sentation of a pass, probably counter- 
signed by some member of the com- 
pany council. Evenings for visitors 
will, however, be assigned at a later 
date. 
Boys desirous of becoming members 
of the B.B.B. are cordially invited to 
_ become such, and are referred for in- 
formation to the following gentlemen, 
members of the company council: G. 
A. Knoerr, Edward S. Bradley, Geo. 
Andrews, Robert Baker, Fred Martin 
and Herman Swett. Mr. Brewster 
will be glad to meet boys desiring 
membershipinthe company. Parents 
are especially requested to make in- 
quiries. 
Campfire and Smoke Talk. 
The Sons of Veterans camp of 
Manchester had a big campfire at 
their headquarters last Tuesday night. 
Commander Edwin P. Stanley of Post 
67 gave another of his talks on ‘ War 
experiences,’ which proved intensely 
interesting. Senior Vice-Commander 
Enoch Crombie and Adjutant James 
H. Rivers also made some interesting 
remarks. Brother Henry B. McCul- 
lom gave a bright talk on “The St. 
Louis Exposition,’’ where he spent 
the summer. Remarks were _ also 
made by Brother Brewster, and_ by 
Brothers J. D. Green and G. C. Win- 
chester of Camp 38, Peabody. 
After the speechmaking the camp 
and their guests adjourned to the ban- 
quet hall where one of B. S. Bullock’s 
famous oyster stews awaited.
