Mayor Dunlap is to make the dedication address. Salem Democrat : "Gas well No. 5 was shot, Friday with very satisfactory results. The well is not
what is called a "gusher but will furnish enough fuel for a score or two of dwellings. It is estimated that if the present flow continues it will pay for itself in two years. Two or three more wells such as we now have will, it is believed, supply all the fuel needed by the town for all present purposes, while the probabjlities are that the best wells have not yet been sunk. Salem is safe and her rapid growth hereafter can not be reasonably doubted: This is a good time to invest money in real estate and manufacturing enterprises here."

The Frauklin JJeiiiocrut, in giving its report of the Decoration Day exercises, held there June 6th says: "The oration of M. M. Dunlap, ot Bloomiugton,coucluded the services. Mr. Dunlap is an old Johnson county boy, having been raised in the Hopewell neighborhood and this county feels a just pride in his scholarly attainments and rare gifts of oratorical powers. His address throughout disclosed a high order of thought and abounded in flights of eloquence not often heard on such occasions and moved the hearts of many to tears. One thing we especially desire to commend and that is that everything h said was appropriate to the occasion and did not
contniu anv of the slump speech po
litical clap trap that has so often
disgraced the services on such occasions. A vote of thanks was extended Mr. Dunlap for his able address by the vast audience present who then dispersed feeling the better for having been present." Bedford JHuuwrut: "On Thursday evening, June 6th, took place one of the m.st prominent v eddings that has occurred in our city for some time. The contracting parties were George S. Long, of Eau C'lare,Wiscoustn,and Miss Carrie Robinson., daughter of Col. Robinson, of this v-laeo .... The Commissioners refused to donate $0,oG0 to the Mitchell Normal College. The petitioners withdrew their petition. . . . .Robert Newiaul will leave here
