Mainorlal Thought*
Another twelve months has pass
ed and May is with us again, with
Memorial day on the .’!0tli, and oar
gratitude goes out to Geu. John A.
Logan, now at rest, sleeping with his
comrades on fames eternal camping
ground, the bivouac of the dead, who
gave us this beautiful service
of planting flowers on the grave of
oar departed comrades and friends.
It is a beautiful tribute of love and
respect to the memory of those who
ever with us in that cruel war, when
father against son, brother against
brother fought, front to front, 43
years ago, then boys, only boys,
marched at our country’s call; and
they call us boys yet. At Sumpter,
Shiloh, Cbickamauga, Antietam,
Gettisburg, and all the rest down to
the grand close at Appomattox, they
were with us. Yes, a noble thought
to place flowers on our heroea'
graves. Aye, tis but a few more
years and flowers will have been
placed on the grave of the last of
the old guard. One by one the old
vets are being mustered out. The
ranks of the G. A. It. are growing
thin. We close up guide right, our
line of march, head of column for
ward. is irregular, weak and wabbly.
Never again will we delight in the
“tumble into line on the right by
file,” Comrades, no more guard
mounts, knapsacks, drills or parades
for us. We are on the retired list,
only waiting, waiting for that old
familiar trumpet call, “lights out,”
‘•good night.”
One word more as to the exercises
of the day and 1 close this letter:
I have never thought Memorial
day was intended for a day of sports,
carrousals and boistrous exhibitions.
Neither do 1 think it was intended
to be one of sorrow, sobs and gloom.
The old soldier, from ill health and
other causes has waded through
about ail the gloom that he is priv
elaged to enjoy frcm his fighting
date down to the present lime,
and he does not relish a double dose
00 the flOth day of May each year.
What he dues want is to see the
loving hands of the little ones and
others so disposed, place flowers on
the graves of departed comrades
and loved ones, and shed a tear of
sorrow iu rememberance of the dead.
This done you have paid your me
morial tribute to your dead comrades.
Then no more the beat of the muf
fled drum or dreary strains of the
dead march. Cast away the funeral
gloom that sad thoughts have oc
casioned and eat, drink and be
merry and eDgage in any recreation
that may be offered.

his hand at the barber business

—Report reaches us that the
team and wagon of Peter Hades
were struck by the B. M. train
one night lust week he was cross
ing the track at his place. 5 miles

pletely demolished aud both horses
killed. Whether they were struck
by the regular passangcr ortho spec
ial circus train which followed it
we do not know as at this writing
we have very slim particulars as to
the why and wherefore of the ac
cident.
—The past week at Ashton has
been a lively one all around. Evey
body has rushed oorn planting which
is about done in this vicinity. Thurs
day being a holiday there was an
immenss gathering at the church,
quite a tew Achtoniles attended the
circus at Loup City, there was one
case of disorder in town, the pop
ulation was increased by four new
comers, three cream seperators were

Too Much for Him.
“And do you mean to say,” ex
claimed Farmer Brown to a policeman
In Lebanon, Fa., as be gazed at the
trolley wire, “that that thing is used
for travelin’ purposes?” “Yes.” “Hu
man bein’s go that a-way?” “Of
course.” “Good-bya” “Where tire
you going?” “Back home. I’m get
tin’ used to the steam cars, but I’m
dumed ef I’m ready to be sent by tele
graph."
The Ones That Suffered.
An aged Sootch minister, who was
very boastful, says ex-Speaker Joseph
L. Barbour of the Connecticut legisla
ture, once said to his good friend.
“Think of it! I preached two' hours
and twenty minutes last Sunday!”
“Didn’t it weary you very much?” in
quired the other solicitously. “Oh, no,”
said the minister. “But you should
have seen the congregation!”—New
York Times.
