and other organizations the use of 8 room in the city building was considereu in the committee of the whole and while aliting in this committee the councilmen listened to the following address by Mayor Lewis: "llonorable Aldermen: I wish to make a few remarks in behalf of tho old soldiers, to whom we owe our poIltical being. Had it not been for these brave men who answered their country's call in 1861 we would not now bave this glorious Union of which we are so justly proud. "They left their homes BaG famillea and went to the front when we were infanty and some of us not yet born, to protect and fight for our country's flag, and by their efforts this wonderful country was saved from positive ruin. They offered their lives that we might live. They suffered untold hardships and when the war was over what was left of them came back and took up anew the fight for livellhood, many of them greatly impaired in health, and thus the more unfit to cope with those who remained at home 'and prospered during, their absence.

MEM CEL "During the" Torty "years since the war many of them have been cut down by that grim reaper, death, and they the more easily succomed on account of diseases contracted during the great struggle. We now know what is left of them as the G. A. R. boya, All glory to that name.

A very few years ago the Post In Sterling had on Its roll over 200 members, now scarcely 100 are left and In a few years they will, pass on and the G. A. R. will be known no more, because their number la limited. "They are all old men now, and the Cily of Stetling should honor their presence while one of them remalas.

It is a duty we owe them and we should deem it a pleasure to furnish them a home. The lease on their ent quarters will expire Oct. 1 and they are now. so few in numbers that it will be a hardship on them to pay rent for suitable hall. Many of them are unable to climb steep and narrow ateps.

"On the completion of our new library bullding and the removal of the library to the new building we will have a vacant room for which the clty will have no immediate use. 'And I know of no more fitting tribute to the G. A. R. Post than for the city to offer them the free use of one of the rooing in this building for a permanent home, "Gentlemen of the council we have the opportunity to show in 8 small -wAy our appreciation of the valor of these brave men.

It is not within our power to honor them enough but we. have it in our power to offer them a home as long as they shall live, and should we do so 1 do not think there is 'a citizen in Sterling who will gay 'Amen' to our action." OBITUARY. James Wilson. Glenn was born In Fulton county, March 24, 1869, died Monday morning, Sept. 18, 1905, at 4:30 o'clock at hig home in Coleta, aged 36 years, 5 months and 24 days.
