It has not been very well. D. H. Pritchard And his step father, P. M. Hann, of Chicago, were here Sunday visiting the former’s grandfather, "Uncle” Stott Grant, who is now in very poor health at his home west of town.

Now he is having much trouble and the outcome looks bad for him. He is about 83 years of age. James E. Brenner writes from Annapolis, Md., that he is making very fine progress In his preparatory work, but admits that it makes him work very hard. The entrance examination takes place on June 15th.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /ir S/fy . Signature of Captain M. B. Stokes, of the 10th Infantry, which is stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, arrived here yesterday evening to be on hand for the inspection of the local company this evening. He was to have inspected the Monticello company last evening but on account of the smallpox situation there it was necessary to postpone the inspection, which will now be held on the 23rd of this month. Captain Stokes has been in the army since he was 18 years of age, having served as a militiaman, then as a cadet at West Point, later as a Major of South Carolina troops during the Spanish-American war and after the close of the war he returned to the regular army in which he retained his commission. For two years before the 10th Infantry was returned to the states and stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, it was stationed in Alaska, where they have winter for eight months out of the year and where the temperature reached at times as low as 80 degrees below zero. Uncle Sam, however, took good care of his soldiers and provided them with the warmest clothing, big fur coats and caps and warm boots and comfortable quarters. Captain Stokes enjoyed the Alaska service, notwithstanding the hardships, but he considers Fort Harrison the ideal army post. The inspection of the local company will take place at the armory at 8:30 o’clock this evening, the property Inspection having taken place during the afternoon.
