Sons of Veterans Visited By Department Commander.

A. W. McDaniels, department commander of the iSonis of Veterans, of Valparaiso, visited the local camp Friday night and was greeted by a number of members who are interested in keeping the local camp going and who pledged renewed faith to the cause. Mr. McDaniel made a good address setting forth the principles on which the order is founded and asking that more of the eons of union soldiers be brought into the camps to perpetuate the memory of the men who made so many sacrifices for thep reservation of the union. He said he believed the time would come when every son and grandson of a veteran would be anxious to enlist his name in the cause and who would consider it an honor to be identified with any movement to honor their fathers. Officers were elected for the ensuing year, as follows: E. C. Max-well, commander; George H. Healey, senior vice commander; C. W. Spender, junior vice commander; J. W. Childers, Jas. Amsler and C. W. Spencer, trustees. The other offices are appointive. ft was proposed that arrangements be made for a joint installation with the G. A. R., the Woman’s .Relief Corps and the Ladies of the G. A. R. and a committee was appointed by retiring Commander Green to try to jpake arrangements.
