Rough and Ready fire company at their

every body is invited to attend. The prep
arahons have been extensive and are very

the Grafton at the Mound City Cemetery on

received with much pleasure by all who are
interested IN the proper observance of that

superior ability. We hope that the author
titles who have control of the ceremonies this
year will not allow the occasion TO be made
one Of debauchery and riot as has been the
case heretofore, but maintain the most per
feet order and see to it that the solemn
ceremonies are not interrupted by drunken
brawIS and obscene vociferations.

brick bat, which ended the fight.
All three were arrested aud brought before

proved that one of the participants was act,
ing in self defence and that the other two
were guilty OF disordcrly conduct They
were accordingly fined five dollars and
costs each
