We ndmire that kind ot a friendly spirit (T) Monad City Xewt: Indeed! W core sorry to be compelled to reply to this unjust snd contemptible) i-quib. True, last year Mound City Pout with its band came to Oregon and partic ipated in the exercises of ileuorfal Day with Meyer post. Meyer Post opened their homes and took their visitors to the.- homes, gave them the bost from thvir larders; the band was eared for in first class style, and everything done to make their visit pleasant and on every hand Meyer Post made thoir coming a welcome one. Xo pains or expense was spared to give them a cordial, fraternal greeting. Two years ago,Meyer Post was invited to Mound City to participate in the ex erciteeof Memorial Day with the pott of that city. The post was taken to the O;ora House, listened to on able oration, at the conclusion of which, the dinner hour was announced and the visiting memliera of the order were turned loose to get their dinners as best they could; they were not even informed where to go or whether any reductions had been made in the price ot meals for man or beast tho members -hustled around; some got their dinners at SO cents each; others were compelled to take lunches, and the whole reception from beginning to end was gross, unfraternal. and ex hibited a lack ot fraternal good breeding unparalleled in our experience thia wu not alL After the dinner hoar, the pro cession was formed Meyer Post which had forty-two men in line with a drum corps, was placed ia the very" rear of the column having 30 'men more in line than the home organization. On the return from the cemotery they wore treated in the same diacourtou9 meaner and were compelled to bring up the rear on each and every formation. How different when this post was at Oregon: Their band and poet was given the ad 1 vance, and every courtesy possible given, them. Meyer Post returned to their homes not angry, but wounded at the gross, unfraternal and "tacky" reception extended them. It was but proper for Mound City post to return the visit of Oregon post, and it was but just to While CkiudPost for the Oregon Post to return their visit they hnving been here for three successive observances of the day, and have ever exhibited a frater nal spirit, never once counting the visits. The invitation from White Cloud Post was leceived here two weeks prior to that of Mound City, and bciuj tne first, was as a matter ot courtesy, accepted, and we feel safe in saying that the mem bora of Moyer Post bavo no apologies to offer for having accepted the tirst invita tion. Wt regret to lie obliged to men tion theso mailer, for we are loth to say a word that tends to publioh ouch acts reflecting upon any organization within our county. Bettor that thev wore cever said, nnd they are only usott now. in the kindliest and mnt fraternal feeling. Strawberry Festival At the meeting of the Holt County Horticultural Society, held in Oregon.
