MOUNT JOY, PENNA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3rd, 1934 $1.5 Good Business For You and Good For Business; Repair, Remodel, Restore at Tog Bainbridge Is Proud of Record NINETY-ONE “BOYS” ANSWERED THE CALL DURING THE SIXTIES NAMES OF ALL ARE APPENDED —MANY WELL KNOWN The village of Bainbridge, the home ¢ County Treasurer Scott Smith, the place of Bernard J. Myers, one of aster’s formost attorneys, located the Susquehanna River, can of its record during the '60s when yys were officially listed as ans- wering the call of Father Abraham, although the town itself at that time had a population of only 810. Of these volunteers a goodly per- cent are listed as battle casualties. After the cessation of hostilities and the firing of the last shot in 1865, those who survived the conflict returned to their quiet homes to follow the pur- suits of peace and assist in the pain- ful task of reconstruction. During the month of May, 1883 the veterans organized the John Hipple Post No. 353, G. A. R. Sergeant John Hipple, the first casualty from Bain- bridge, fell’ mortally wounded in the Battle of Spottsylvania Courthouse, Virginia in the early part of the war, pierced by enemy grape-shot through the left shoulder. His heroism in that bloody encount- er is recalled by his nephew, Ralph E. Hipple, of Elizabethtown, who holds the citation stating that under heavy fire of grape and cannister from the enemy, Sergeant Hipple led an advance penetrating the embankment. He was felled by grape-shot, mortally wound- ed. At the present time not a single man survives this Post. All have taken their places in the Eternal camping ground. The last survivor was Comrade Harry Snyder, who died several years ago. The last active member was Com- rade Ross Ashton who attended the | National Reunions regularly and rep- resented the Post. He later affiliated himself with the Lancaster Post G. A. R. At present Mr. George W. Nein, of | Bainbridge, member of the S. of V., is the custodian of the Post and National af tha Pact lane 1277, Ind. O. O. F.; Cove ciation. THAT SPECIAL SESSION COST THE TAXPAYERS $204,513.80 A study in figures today revealed that the special session of the Leg- islature which ended last Thursday after a six weeks’ existence really was “short and inexpensive.” It cost, exclusive of the printing bill, more than 50 per cent less than either of the two previous extraor- dinary sessions during the present administration. The total as it stands today is $204,513.80. Expenses for printing, an appropriation of $35,000 has been made, must be added to this figure. The 1931 special session cost $325,000 and the 1932 special accumulated bills totaling $313,000. A total of $401,053 was appropriat- ed for the expenses of the session.
