We urge upon every survivor of ant rebel prison pen, the necessity ot pr- ganlzlng a county association or club and at once. It Is not at all necessar* to hold meetings oftener than* fou times a year, every quarter, but bs having an organization we are propp­ ed at any t'me for whatever may arise and can aid better the National Asao elation, should there be any call frou them, than we can at the present time, without hardly being acquainted with one another, or knowing the exact num. ber who were prisoners who reside it this county. Nunda will be the plao* to talk this matter up, and Oct. 20t* the time. So come to the Old Soldier Meetiog to be held there oo that date. Wo received a pleasant 6all from Comrade S. F. Bennett, of Richmond one day last week, and as usual th? loyal-hearted and patriotic doctor wa looklog after the interest of the ex Union soldier, so he came to us partly on business. Comrade Bennett sug­ gested to us, and we heartily agreed with him and accepted his suggestion, as follows, which will explain Itself via: That as there Is a meeting called of all the old soldiers in the county, a* Nunda on Wednesdava0ct.20th to form a Soldiers Veteran Association for all McHenry County ex>Union Soldiers, that at the same time and plaoe would be a most appropriate occasloo to or­ ganize. or make arrangemonts to or ganize, a Prisoners of War Associa­ tion, which should embraoe all survt vors of any Confederate Prison who are now resideucs of McHenry County That if there are not enough ex-Prla- oners present on the day referred to, to accomplish what Is sought, that those interested or concerned >re re­ quested to meet on the following Sat­ urday, October the 23d, at 3 o'clock P M., at the offlce of Win. H. Cowlln, In Woodstock, 111., to take such steps as Is necessary Co perfect an organisa­ tion that every county In the State should possess. Attention Oonantfoo.
