If so, just howdo you favor its construction? TWH.. " The legislature of New York has finally elected a United States senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. The man agreed upon, after a memorable contest, is James Aloysius O'Gorman, who filed his resignation as a supreme court justice to accept the senatorial toga. He is endorsed by Governor Dix and by many others and the selection seems to have been a very happy one. Judge O'Gorman is one of the great men of the state and should make a record. He is progressive, and it is said will support all the policies of the democratic party, will join hands with President Taft for Canadian reciprocity. He favors immediate downward revision of the tariff, the fortification of the Panama canal, the direct election of United States senators and the federal income tax.

The committee on arrangement has corresponded with some very fine readers and it is probable that the club will provide their guests with something very’ fine in this line., besides according them one of the most delightful general sociay entertainments of the history of the club. The social given Friday evening in the Presbyterian church parlors was a very successful one, both socially and financially, and a very nice sum of money was realized for the treasury. There were games and music to contribute to the entertainment, a special feature of which was the fortune tellers' tent, realistically gleaming with red lights, and where the fortunes of all were charmingly told by various young maidens. Refreshments, of ice cream and cake were provided and there were also homemade candies for sale. The C. W. B.

... . . — ......... — < —— RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAM. I i Marcn 31, 1911. i To the Officers and Comrades ot Sam , Henry Post, No. 63, G. A. R.: Your committee on resolutions of condolence in memory of our deceased comrade, R. S. Peterson, respectfully submit the following: It is with sad hearts that we record ' the death of our esteemed comrade, who departed this life the Ith inst. A 1 brief sketch of his life as a citizen and ' soldier is not here inappropriate. Although too young to go at the beginning of the civil war, he enlisted February 12, 1864. and was assigned with other comrades to Company G, 13th Indiana Cavalry, and appointed first sergeant. In a few days the Thirteenth was sent to Nashville and assigned to guarding the railroad from Nashville to Chattanooga and on south as Sherman’s army advanced to Atlanta, Wheeler and Forests’ Confederate cavalry gave them plenty to do to keep them from destroying the trains carrying supplies to the bo> s fighting their way south. The thirteenth was engaged at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, where the subject of our sketch was slightly wounded, after which they were sent to Mobile, Alabama, afterwards assisting in the assault and capture of Fort Blakley. Aftei which, the war being about over, the regiment was sent t > Vicksburg, Miss., wherq he was mu - tered out of the service with the rniik of first lieutenant. After the war he became a citizen of and was one jof the forces that secured our railroads and helped to make Decatur. He amassed no fortune, but was loyal to his country, to the interests of the city and devoted to his family and friends; a few things in this life which are worth while. He will be missed by all, especially his family, to whom we extend dur heartfelt sympathy in their sorrow. Let us all not mourn without hope for in him we have faith to believe there was a dauntless Spirit that was not born to die; therefore, be it (Resolved, That in the death of Comrade Peterson this Post mourns the loss of a comrade who served as its commander and was esteemed by all, the country a brave defender and the community an honorable citizen. And, further, we, .m a Post, tender our sin- ,

cere sympathy to the bereaved family in their sorrow. Resolved, That our Post colors be ' draped in mourning for thirty days in the memory of our deceased comrade and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved wife and mother, recorded in our Post rec ords, and a copy furnished the city i press with request for publication. Respectfully submitted, A. J. TEEPLE, R. D. PETERSON, J- D. HALE, Committee. —-o — — NOTICE—AII farmers having fence stretchers belonging to Laman t Lee will please return same to the store at once.—Laman & Lee. 78t3
