BANNER, June /.
The last week of May was week Of
genial showers the farmers call
good growing weather.
The Sabbath school at Banner school
house is getting >along splendidly, with
good attendance and good interest.
Planting and seeding are about DONE
and farmers are very busy cultivating
corn and killing weeds-or srch of them
as I call farmers. Some do not think it
does any good to cultivate crops in
this country-that we will not raise any
thing in this country, anyway. Them ]
do not call farmers. Some try to dis
courage new settlers by telling them that
there is no use trying to farm in this
country they cannot raise anything,
while they themselves are trying to get
every foot of land they can. The cattle
men would be glad if it was as they say
that we could not raise anything; but ]
would say to men who are making their
calculations to run herd of range cattle
that their business is about played out in
this country; that in a very few years
there will be a home on nearly every
quarter section, and the people will make
comfortably good ivings, and some will
get rich, the croakers to the contrary, not.

estals heavily laden with house plants and
flowers. Upon the front of one of the
pedestals hung q wreath, and on the
service on the Potomac. Back Of the
alter was draped q beautiful specimen of
the national colors, in the center of which
hung cross of white roses and green
leaves, and above both, trembling in the
breeze, were three small flags, and large
pictures of George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln, which hung on opposite
sides of the room, were festooned with
like colors. On the western wall was
placed picture of Martha Washington,
festooned with leaves and flowers, and
above it more flags, one of which bore a
likeness of "Old Abe" with the inscrip-
ton, 1.-THE preserver of his country"
Vases of flowers were on the organ, wild
flowers in the southern windows, running
vines fell gracefully from the top of the
stove, and living plants in the northern
windows. One of the latter needs niole
than passing notice, as it is indeed a
memorial orange tree, the seed of which
was taken from an orange given little
friend by our lamented citizen, Mr.. Hugh
McGregor.
It soon became evident that larger
seating capacity would be needed, so
benches we're brought from the Post
building, and, when the services began,
standing room was all that could be had.
The order to form into line was given
by Past Commander Robb, and an invi-
tation to all old soldiers to join the G. A.
r. ranks, and soldiers wives those of the
W. r. c., was extended. Headed by the
Buffalo Park martial band, the two socie-
cites marched to the school house, the
Grand Army boys being known by their
badges and the Corps ladies by bow of
the national colors.
Jefferson and Liberty" by the Buffalo
Park band, opened the exercises, and was
followed by Wrap the Flag Around Me,
Boys" sung by few of the school
children. They were slightly embarrassed,
and failed to do themselves justice, yet
received some high compliments. Next
came the public memorial services by the
Post, which were very entertaining; the
choir rendering "Tenting tonight" and
"Vacant Chair" Mrs. L. A. Fisher gave
the solo of the first with much expression,
and Miss Kittie Martin sung the "Vacant
Chair" as only veterans daughter
could sing such words from the heart.
Past Com. Robb then introduced as the
speaker of the day, Comrade J. @. A.
Weller.

They have some bright people down in
Rutland whatever else the town may
lack. The Herald recently referred to a
''curious" clock which some one of the
inhabitants owned-the curious" part of
it being that it would run 400 days with

member of the community writes to the
Herald, anXiously inquiring how many
days that clock would run when wound
up, if it runs 400 days without winding !
