The Norfolk City Guards caused storm
of Indignation on their late visit to Wash
ingGon by not carrying anything in the
shape of United States flag. The ABB
sence OF such o banner in the line was
taken to mean slight of the National
government, right in the very capital.
Some of the mere enthusiastic federalists
who were spectators On the sidewalk, went
so far as to hoot the ViraiDians as they
went by. Although the action of the
company was not very wrong one, 1t was
extremely illbred in the "extreme Radi.
calls" In treating visitors so unbecemingly
The home companies which escorted
them had no national flag, while the Nora
folk militia carried their State flag. Those
ilbred persons are endeavorlng to stir NJ
bad feeling with our late Confederat,
brethren. Captain White, Of the visiting
company, said in explanation to membe
Of the press "thst this entire movement Il
for political capital. We have no right al
a company to carry the United States flag
When we had battalion we carried tn
Stars and Stripes. Look at our armory. l

MANY persons are no doubt ignor ant OF

without permission. When any such
tramp is arrested he shall be put to work
upon the streets, or hired out to private
individuals for period of one month fol

overseers, from which his board and lodg>

NEGRO slavery existed in all the origir

NEGRO slavery existed in all the original
colonies. Vermont passed an abolition
act in TIT, before she Joined the Union.
Pennsylvania in 1880 passed a gradual
act, but sixty-four negroes
were still living in slavery in that State as
late as 1910. Massachusetts s5olished
Elavery, according to her Supreme Court,
by the act of 1850, adopting the state Cons
stitution. Rhode Island and Connecticut
each passed a gradual emancipation act.
New York did the same thing in 1909, but
in 1917, before the limit was reached, she
passed another act, declaring all slaves free
On the 4th Of July, 1927. New Jersey
passed "gradual" act ia 1892, but two
hundred and thirtyssix slaves were living in
the State as late as 1910. The North made
a great howl about slavery In the South.
The Northern States were among the frst
to introduce slavery. II should be borne
in mind, however, that before these acts Of
mauumission were passed, not wishing tt
lose financially, as was the case in the
South, most of the slaves In the Northern
States had been sold South.

Mr.. Editor-Not having seen anything from
our corner of the county for some time ]
thought it would not be amiss to send you
few items of such things as interest u.s.
The farmers generally are improving the
splendid sleighing in drawing wood and the
products of the farm to Prairie du Chen; while
our young people are enjoying the nice eve.
nings in series of surprise parties.
The Wyalusing Council of Mendotas gave
its members free oyster supper on the eve.

Altogether it was very enjoyable affair. This
Council is in very prosperous condition.

Tree Brokers.

The annual tree peddler has put in his APP
pearance. Like the tree borer he is an an
nual bore. He comes down upon the farmer
like book agent, a sewing machine man,
map peddler, package agent or a lightning
rod man. Grant County men would be worth
two million dollars more ,han they are if they
had never seen any of these pests. There
was a time when Grant county could make as
good display OF apples, plums and some
other fruits at her fairs as the State of Michi>
gan. Latterly many come to the conclusion
that this is not a fruit country. May not the
impositions practiced by the so-called tree ped
Ter partly account for the growing deprecia-
ton of the country as agood fruit district ?
Men come in calling themselves agents of eel
ebrated nurseries in New York, Michigan,
Minnesota or elsewhere, sometimes carrying
for display sealed jars of wax fruit, looking
very beautiful indeed. We have seen two
horse buggy and with their oily tongues and
deceptive bottles take more orders for fruit
than a home nursery man that everybody
knows is honest in dealings could take travel-
ing among the farmers in three weeks. Then
the oily men 60 to any old furnishing nursery
| and fill the orders with whatever they can
get the cheapest and palm them off upon
| their beguiled customers. Why is it that PEG
pie are so ready to deal with strangers? Why
can they not learn-why can they not know,
without going to school to learn-that just as
honest and as smart men can grow in Grant
| County as anywhere else? There are several
good nurseries in Grant County. If our peo-
| will buy of the Ballantne Brothers or Of the
Elmo nurseries they will know they are not
swindled, but they are frequently known to
go right away from home dealers and buy
| thsy know not what nor of whom they buy.
The consequence after years of care is great
loss and complaint of hard times-brought
| about by Government or-the moon. Let
us mend our ways. Trade with our neighbors
whenever we can. Help each other and not
have our substance squandered by receptions
of outsiders who come among US because they
cannot make honest hvings at home.

Our Red Ribbonites are moving along
gloriously. They give US an entertainment
gratuitously every Thursday, and the actors
are kept busy during the week preparing for
next weeks entertainment. and many are
thereby kept out of mischief. At all events,
it is step in the right direction to direct the
young from the ale house and direct their
thoughts in a different channel. On last
Thursday they gave us splendid entertain
ment, considering the time they had to pre-
pare and practice. The music by the choir
was splendid ; also piece participated in by
nine young ladies, entitled the Boarding
logues were good. Not having all the names
of those who took part in the performance we
refrain from giving any names. Your cores

movement the best success, and Joined with

acting President, made was in calling on G.
Prior, Esq. Burgess, and Sneclode, aud soms
other old and irredeemable ~ tipplers to
make temperance speech. Among those old
reprobates he might soms day wake up a

such mistakes.

A Tribute to the Memory of Laura X.
Fennell.

In childhood beauty, wondrous fair,
With pearly teeth and faxen hair,
With joyous heart and footsteps light,
With ringing laugh from morn till night,
oh how we loved our darling child
And strove to shield from tempest wild,
Striving to guide each step Alright,
Striving to make each day more bright.
In girlhood, when at district school
Obeying every teachers rule,
Scattering sunshine all around,
Making each heart with joy rebound,
Oh then we watched with tender care
To shield our girl from every snare,
To make her brow with radiance beam.
To make her life one happy dream.
In maidenhood with lovely grace,
The life of every time and place,
Showering blessings on every side
On all at home and prairie wide.
Oh; then we felt as ne'er before
That we were paid forevermore
For all the care tina. we'd bestowed
On her the light of our abode.
But God in mercy thought it best
To take our darling home to rest;
Set free from all the snares of life,
From all the tolls and cares and strife.
And though we mourn our lost one now,
At Jesus feet we fain wonld bow
And say dear Lord, "Thy will be done"
For thou hast claimed our darling one.
