friends and come early and enjoy
this service.
Wm. Klingaman , of Woodlakc ,
was a pleasant caller at this office
last Saturday. He is an old time
democrat and is a firm believer in
the principles as set forth by W.
J. Bryan. We admire men of
strong convictions for the right
and one who does not have to wait
for the national convention to take
a stand before he is sure that he is
right.
He didn't have a dollar , he didn't
have a dime. His clothes and shoes
were looking just as though they'd
served their time. He didn't try
to kill himself to dodge misfort
une's whacks. Instead he got
some ashes and he filled five dozen
sacks. In the paper in the morn
he advertised tin polish that would
put the world to scorn. He kept
on advertising and now , suffice to
say , he's out in California at his
cottage on the bay. " Ex.
There will be a meeting of Col.

maki ng arrangements for Memorial
service , May 24th and 30th. All
members of the Post and all sold
iers of the Civil war are requested
to be present at that time , so that
\re will have ample time to make
the necessary arrangement for dec
orating the graves of our deceased
comrades. W. W. THOJIVSON ,
