Milroy Budges are Here and Will Be Placed on Sale.

The badges that will be sold on the 4th of July in the interest of the Milroy and Soldiers’ monument fund, have arrived. They were put up by a Chicago manufacturer and come here in three pieces. In addition to the part supplied by the badge man, printed ribbons will be used on one thousand of the souvenirs. The badge consists of a medallion with the picture of General Milroy. Around the medallion is a brass rim, which clasps from the back over the button and inside the rear of the button a spring pin fastens, and within this can be clasped the ribbon. Red ribbon has been ordered, about fifteen bolts being required for one thousand pins. The other thousand pins will be sold without the ribbons attached. It is probable that girls will sell the souvenirs, although that work may fall to the lot of the men. A statement of the financial conditlod of the monument fund will be made within a few days.
