Bixby Article Title: Rutland Weekly Herald Article Date: January 28 1864 Article Description: James Slade Honors Civil War Soldiers. Article Text: Acknowledgment : Middlebury , January 26, 1864. To The Editor of the Rutland Herald. Hon. James M. Slade gave a most splendid supper (at his residency) to the officers and soldiers of Company B. 5th Vt. Regiment. So noble an act would seem to demand a frank acknowledgment through the public journals of our State. Shortly after supper the recipients tendered to Mr. Slade their grateful acknowledgments for his benevolence, kind hospitality, and honor he had done them, to which Mr. Slade responded, first by reading Mrs. Dorr's Prize Poem, and closed by making a neat speech, (he knows so well how to do,) paying a most beautiful tribute to the Vermont soldiers. After listening to numerous patriotic songs and other music , discoursed by the ladies present, the company retired at a early hour, highly gratified with the evening's entertainment. N.
