The annual Grattan township meet ig was held, as scheduled, last Tues day at the court house. The meeting was called for the Library but on ac count of the severe cold it was ad journed to the court house. Jacob Hirsch presided. The attendance was very small, the voters seemingly tak ing but little interest in the govern ment of the township. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and the re port of the treasurer, John Hickey, was also approved. Levies of 13 mills were made for the coming year to be divided as follows: Bridge fund, 2 mills; general fund, 2 mills; library fund, 2 mills; road fund, 5 mills; special levy for the Chambers-O'Neill A Tribute to 014 Glory. In these stirring times, when it seems that we are on the verge of be- ’3 ing drawn into a great war, and when .5 Americans of foreign extraction are , wont to sympathize a little strongly with their mother country, p some even in deference to the 3 land of their adoption, it seems particularly fitting that we in- , dulge in expressions of patriotic senti ment. Patriotism, reverence and re- I, spect for the flag, the symbol of our being, placed upon such a lofty plane ; by Washington and Lincoln, should be so instilled into the hearts of all ;• Americans that the symbol of the land of Liberty need nevei want for sons to protect her. | The following tribute was read by S. J. Weekes. at the Emmet banquet ;J Monday evening, and is worthy of your consideration: 1 Your flag and our flag, S And how it floats to-day O’er your land and my land And half the world away. Blood red and rose red, Its stripes forever gleam; ! Snow white and soul white, ' The good forefathers’ dream. ~ Sky blue and true blue, With stars that beam aright; ) A gloried guidon of the day, A shelter through the night. , Your flag and my flag— Oh, how much it holds Your heart and my heart Secure within its folds. Your heart and my heart Beat quicker at the sight; Sun kissed and wind tossed, 1 The red and blue and white. The one flag! The great flag! ■ The flag for me and you Glorified, all else beside, The red and white and blue. Wertz-Philiips.
