A REPLY.Ed. Triijuxe: Allow me a brief

space in your paper to reply to acommunication in your last issue,signed "Old Soldier." 1st. If "OldSoldier" will study his dictionaryhe will find quite a difference in themeaning of the words "part" and"member." We do not claim to bemembers of the G. A. R.; but asour membership is limited to mothcrs, wives and daughters of honorably discharged soldiers and sailorswho served during the rebellion, bythat glorious heritage of birth ormarriage, we arc a part of the GA. R., and were so recognized bythe department convention of the G.A. R. held at Hastings last month.

2d. Would "Old Soldier" have his! readers infer that he would ignore

"nearest and dearest?" But nomatter how he may feel toward us,we have for all old comrades only afeeling of "Fraternity, Charity andLoyalty."
