WILL BANfllin DLB SOLDIERS The Ladies Os Syracuse Will Serve Dinner Oi| Saturday It has been the custom for many years for the local G. A. R. camp to serve dinner on the day that the officers for the new year were installed. The task of soliciting donations, assistance, etc., has become to large a burden for the small number of vererans in the last couple of years and this year a number of the ladies of Syracuse have taken over the matter. Several of the ladies connected with the preparations have talked to the writer and have asked him to state that the dinner will be exclusively for the old soldiers and their wives, and not public as in former years. The dinner will be served at the K. of P. opera house on next Saturday. The Women who have charge of the dinner have also arranged for a program of singing speaking, etc., and all of the old soldiers of this vicinity, whether members of the Post or not. and all old soldiers' widows are cordially invited to be present. Arrangements are being made to take care of all and you are earnestly urged to be present $4,247.47 DURIN6 DECEMBER THAT IS THE AMOUNT SENT FROM THE LOCAL OFFICE Postmaster J. H. Miller tells us that 706 money orders were issued at the Syracuse office during the month of December. The total amount of these orders were $4,247. 47 or an average of over SI,OOO a week. We have no means of knowing where they were sent but it is safe to say that 90 per cent, went to mail-order houses. We don’t wholly blame the people who sent them nor do we wholly blame the home merchant for allowing this amount to go out of town. We believe a good portion could have been kept here if some kind of “get together” plan had been tried. Our people should buy every thing possible in Syracuse, and on the other hand our merchants should make an effort to get their goods before the people in a method similar to what mail order houses use, namely printer’s ink.

LIBERTY. They tell us, sir, that we are weak, unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. i shall we be stronger? Will it ; the next week or the next yewWill it be when we are totally disarmed and when a Britten guard shall be stationed in each I house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction. Shall we acquire the means or effective resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope until our enemies have bound us hand and foot? Sir. we are not weak If we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause o( liberty and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any 1 force which an enemy can send i against us. Besides, sir, we shall ; not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery. Our chains are forged. Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston. The war is inevitable, and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it comel—Patrlek Henry. „

SURVEYTAKES J MONTHS Northern Route of Canal Believed to Be the Best Government men who are at work on the proposed Erie-Michigan canal have estimated that it will take about six months to complete the official preliminary survey. We are informed that the majority of the engineers are favoring the northern route which passes through Syracuse and Wawasee lakes for the reason that it offers the larger numbar of natural advantages. Several of otir citizens have suggested that a meeting be called of the Syracuse Progressive Association for the purpose of appointing a committee to canvass the situation and to present to the proper authorities our desire to have the canal through here. It will not mean any expenditure of money. The only thing is to keep the northern route uppermost so that competing territory does not switch this great project to some other portion of the state. ’ We must not forget that an immense sum of money will be spent along whatever route is finally decided upon. It means much to the future of Syracuse and it is the opinion of many that a little work will assure the selection of the route.
