Augustus Anterior IS plain and
thrifty farmer of Abingdon, "a, He IL
of an ama5le disposition and co1fid-
ing heart. The only G eat trouble Of
his life came through crazy inventors,
book-peddlers, sewing-machinc agents.
Eghtning-rod, insurance and patent
medicine men. A few years ago lie
was deceived in worthless machine,
and then he resolved to have nothing
more to DO with the tramps OF literi-
ture, mechanism and med cine. He
kept his word until recently when d
genteel- looking man who sad his nam3
was Anterior came to look up the Ath-
ert0n fami ' tree This visitor seemed
ali right ana it cost nothing to look 70
the tree. Mr.. Athor,on extended to
him the Inequalities OF the house While
he STAYED and examined family records
and documents. The stranger pro
tended to prove his relationship to
Farmer Atherton and he Jared sumptiu-
day. An Ather on girl was aloIt to be
married and the neWiy-fOpnI AtLcrton
young man was Invited to stay until
after the wedding, which he ra+d.i
consented 20 do. Bat he didn { stav.
The day before the wedding he cx-

pretty well loaded with Atherton Ilua-

che National I'm cam pmen..

The National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, to be
held at Portland, Maine, June 9th
and %. promises to be of special in
terest to G.. y. r. men. What we
wish to speak of at this time is the
route from Chicago TO Portland.
The Chicago & Grand Trunk rail
way was the first road that made it
possible for the boys" in the Eastern
and Middle States who wore tie blue
to attend the National Encampment
at Denver in 1888, at comparative-
ly cheap rate, should not be forgotten
now. Following are the material facts:
In 1853, while ex-commander-in
chief Paul Eandervoot was endeayor-
ing to procure low rates from East to
Denver, the trunk line pool, which is
composed Of the four principal lines
out of New York and their connec-
tons running to Chicago, owned by
the same corporation, refused to make
a reasonable rate. The Commander
was powerless to moye the railway
companies in the interest of the
boys" As a last resort-learning
that the Grand Trunk line was not in
the pooI-ho wrote the general pas
seDger agent, telling him his situation,
and that gentleman at once cut the
rate and carried large amount of
eastern travel in good shape. The
same action of the Grand Trunk in
1884 took large number to AIinnea-
polls. Their action forced other COM
panies into line. This year, also, they
were the first to go into the field and
forced a rate and dictated terms to
other lines Of travel.
We as a c. a. Il. man will stand
By the road that has stood by our
comrades. We find that this is the
general expression Of those with whom
we have conyersed. This road is I'M
surpassed by any in equipment. Its
sleepers and dining cars are unequal
ed in point Of comfort and elegance.
The line passes through the most pie
turesque scenery on the route from
Chicago 20 Portland. The excursion
train after leaving Chicago about 8
p. m. will arrive at Niagara Falls the
next morning, stopping there sutHci-
emily long to permit one to see all
there is to be seen. From Niagara
the train will run to Kingston, where
the excursi0niSts have the privilege
(without extra cost of taking steam
boat ride to Montreal-a longer run
on the river than will be made by any
other company-through the world
wide famous Thousand Islands and
down the rapids Of the St. Lawrence.
On arriving at Montreal there will be
4 welcome from our Canadian cousins,
who Will show Us the city, after which
we will take our sleepers and awake
the next morning as the palatial train
is entering the White Mountains.
Comrades, buy your ticket via the
Chicago & Grand Trunk Railways.
Were it not for the magnanimous lib
crafty of this company, as in the past
thousands Of the old vets" would re-
main at home. There will be no two
mile transfer BY bus line at Montreal,
as the Michigan Central must do to
make connections. The Grand Trunk
runs in and out Of the same depot.

notable Improvement across the square meets
our eye-the painting of the building owned by

icrTed to was the first erected in LancShoro and
cost originally $500. Under an oak tree near it,

editor Of the superior Wis, TINES, and i. was for
years the home of the Journal. We gla3 to

That is right, friends, keep the old
place up in good shape. We often re-
call the happy days when the old of
flee was new There was no beautiful
town there then as now, and people
laughed at Us and thought us crazy
when we hauled our printing machine
over the hills twenty miles inland and
dumped it, with about one hundred
pounds Of pi," on the ground with
out a roof to cover it, Eve got there
before the building was ready for u.s.,
and not house in sight, only few
rough railroad shanties; no business
but the town site" to advertise, and
no people to subscribe for paper.
But what has followed since has full
ly proven that our look into the future
was not entirely a visionary one
When the first number of the Herald
appeared in that thicket of brush, we
had on our subscription book but Just
two names, though 800 copies were
printed, but before two years rolled by
we had 800 names Of good men who
paid their subscription promptly, be-
sides a good list of advertisers.
Recollections Of both joy and sad
ness, come TO us as we recall the old
house and those early days in Lanes
boro. In a room above the old Office
a bright bIue-eyed daughter was born
10 Us; in another room only a few DAYS
later, one Of God ; true noblemen,
Col. Brayton, agent and local man
ager for the townsite company, died,
and all the people mourned; and still
later another good man, Mr.. David
Dansmore, gave up the battle of life
from cruel injuries received in the rail
road cut over there by the dam. Then
there were all those social gatherings,
and the pleasant dinner hour, when
jim, and Bob, and Il" GUY" and
30. d., " and Man, and Sampson"
and the rest Of " our boys, we're all at
home; and the little political meetings
which were held in the Office, when
the caucus and convention states were
fixed up,-but why call up the buried
past? Yes, take good care of the old
house, and keep it clean and tidy, that
1t may endure while one "old timer"
lives to remember its early prominence
and granleure.

that it cannot longer be considered
a sectional matter-hence can in no
