Gaede R. Harr: 
Before an assemblage of Sons of 
Veterans, G. A. R. men and members 
of Allen Relief corps in G. A. R. hall, 
Manchester, on Tuesday evening the 
recently elected officers of Col. H. P. 
Woodbury camp, S. of V., were in- 
stalled by Past Commdr. W. R. Bell. 
The ritual of the order was per- 
formed with smoothness and dis- 
patch, the following new officers be- 
ing installed to serve the ensuing 
year:. Charles FE. Bell, commdr.; 
Harry Slade, sr. vice-commdr.; Ed-

installing officer was assisted by 
Lewis W. Hutchinson, guide. Mrs. 
C. E. Bell furnished the music for 
the ceremony. 
Following the installation Jr. Vice 
Dept. Commdr. E. P. Stanley made 
a few remarks touching upon the 
coming national encampment of the 
G. A. R. in Boston. Commdr. Enoch 
Crombie of Allen post declared that 
the camp could not help being suc- 
cessful if it emulated the man for 
whom it was named. He declared 
there was_no braver nor kinder of- 
ficer left the state in command of 
troops than Col. H. P. Woodbury. 
Mrs. Seddie Follett, president of the 
relief corps praised the camp as the 
best in. the state. W. R. Bell, Mrs. 
Hattie R. Preston and Hollis A. Bell 
spoke briefly. The latter called at- 
tention to the coming class installation 
of districts 2,and 3 to be held in 
Salem the last Monday of the present 
month and urged all present to aid 
in securing eligible candidates. 
,. Dennis O’Sullivan, the veteran 
eolor-bearer of Allen post, was called 
upon to speak. Mr. O’Sullivan,

was an honor to carry it.” 
As Mr. O’Sullivan finished, L. W. 
Floyd stepped forward and with an 
appropriate speech presented the vet- 
eran with a birthday cake adorned 
with miniature flags. Mr. O’Sullivan 
then favored the audience with an 
old army song he learned during ser- 
vice in the Civil War. 
Rev. Dr. Walter S. Eaton of Mag- 
nolia spoke of the services rendered 
the nation by the veterans and of 
their rapidly diminishing numbers. 
He urged upon the members of the 
camp their patriotic duty to be pre- 
pared to serve their country should 
another call come—which he said 
was not unlikely. 
Alfred S. Jewett paid a tribute to 
the flag which, he said, represents 
everything that is implied by our 
country. “Everything we hold dear 
in this land today is ours because it 
was fought for. Every principle of 
freedom from that embodied in the 
Magna Charta down to the present 
day, had to be fought for. It will be 
a long time before right can be en- 
forced except by might,” he declared. 
Mrs. Enoch Crombie, the first 
president of the relief corps, compli- 
mented the camp upon its flourishing 
condition. Rey. A. G. Warner spoke 
of the spirit shown by the Manches- 
ter boys who went on the recent ex- 
pedition to the border. He declared 
that the striking scene next to that of : 
the departure of the troops from 
Framingham which would always re- 
main in his mind was that of a few 
minutes previous when Dennis O’Sul- 
livan had pledged his undying devo- 
tion to the flag. Those scenes should 
thrill all to deeper patriotism, he said. 
F,. W. Baker and F. W. Bell, char- 
ter members of the camp, spoke 
briefly and the latter recited a pat- 
riotic poem. Refreshments were 
served and the company sang old war 
songs.
