ENCAMPMENT GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC – A GOOD MEETING. Successful in Numbers and Enthusiasm and Satisfactory as to the General Arrangements. There was a good attendance of citizens at the court house last night to make the preliminary arrangements for the coming meeting of the Department Encampment G.A R. of Indiana. The meeting was made up principally of leading citizens and the active workers in the G.A.R. and W.R.C. Mayor Cromer was called upon to preside and Major Wildman briefly stated the object of the meeting. Department Commander O.A. Marsh, Adjutant General Smock, Quartermaster General Weaver and Mrs. Nettie Rainsford, president of the W.R.C. were present and all made short but interesting remarks in the way of information to the several committees in charge of the work. The number that will be in attendance will probably exceed the expectations of the citizens of Muncie but there was a general expession [sic] expression by those present that they would all be entertained in a manner unsurpassed by any other city in the state up to this time. The members of the W.R.C. were well represented and are going to be enthusiastic in the work. Various committees had been previously selected and the names are given below. Some of them had met and organized and others are yet to meet for that purpose. Work of preparation will begin at once and it is hoped that no one will stand back and wait for someone else to do the work. With the names presented and adopted, as committees, the work will be comparatively light on all, but it will require cordial and hearty cooperation to meet the demands made upon the city in properly caring for this great assemblage. Muncie’s name and fame for hospitality and cordiality has never yet suffered on any occasion and it will not now. Give a litte [sic] little time to make the boys in blue feel at home and as among friends. The following is the list of the committees and the names of members. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. George W.
