An Old Soldier Honored
We are pleased to note the fact that our townsman and soldier
citizen, D.C. Garver, has been chosen to take charge of the
Department colors of the state of Iowa, at the National
Encampment, which meets in Washington, September next. There were
many applications for the office, and we consider it a high honor
conferred upon Capt. Garver, who was tendered the office without
any effort on his part. He met the Dept. commander and his Chief
of Staff while at the Storm Lake reunion last month, and was then
tendered the position. He will select his color guard in the mean
time and be in readiness as the colors will be sent to him at
Inwood.
