Two Who Have Been Honored with High Office by Their Comrades. One of the popular elections of the G. A. R. for the next year was that of Chas. H. Shute, of New Orleans, as

Junior Vice Com-mander-in-chief. Mr. Chute has been long identified with the G. A. R., a d Is one of the well-known men < f the organization. It is especially appropriate, in v.ew of'tlio next encampment bei n g held below Mason and Dixie's line, that the South should be represented among the principal oth-

cers. Mr. Shute has an enviable war record, is a man well known and popular in his own city, and Grand Army men say will make an excellent aid to Commander-in-chief Lawler. A. P. Burchfield, who was e’ected Senio-’ Vice Commander-in-chief, was born in Allegheny Jan. 20, 1844. He
