The New York Poe Memorial.

A New York telegram says; The Poe
memorial provided by the actors of the
United States has been set up IN the
Museum Of Art, but will remain yciled
until the public ceremonies of unyclling
take place. The statue represents the
Muse crowning a medallion likeness of
Poe. 1t is the work of W. II. Park,
an American artist at Florence, from
which city the memorial arrived few
days ago. The date of unyeiling Is as
vet somewhat indefinite. owing to the
uncertainty when Irving. Booth, and
Barrett can all be in this vicinity, and
together attend and take part in the
ceremonies. Irving has consented to
recite The Raven and both Barrett
and Booth will give recitations. \
poem will also be read by William
Winter. the dramatic critic of the Tri-
bune. The representative poets. au-
thors. and dramatic artists Of the coun-
try will be assembled here at the un-

has been called upon to mourn. In a short

her husband, and lastly a most promising
young man, her main support, have been cali

We are glad to note the continued i'm

wood and Ledge Creek section.
Sorry to report Father Barklow on the

Rev. Dauchy of Troy, N. Y, preached
an excellent sermon here, last Sunday.
Oscar Brown has been making large
improvements on his fathers place near
Walton.
j. f. Megrue has fenced 400 acres
in one pasture, indeed the great amount
of wire fence built in this locality is
simply wonderful, turning the road on
almost every section.
The business portion of Walton is not
built quite as densely as in other large
cities, owing probably to the fact that
many of our business houses are located
on the respective claims Of their pro-
prietors. We will briefly notice a num-
Der of Walton business interests. First
we will mention our general merchan-
disc store On the north side also the

same. Mr.. Williams also does consider
able work in making land surveys, and
a general real estate business. West of
the p. o. stands the Walton school
building, while farther down the street
we pass the sorghum factory and repair
shop of John Kolb. Last but not least
we will mention the blacksmith shop
owned by MIR. Matson. We know of our
own personal knowledge that Mr.. Mat
son is one of the most skilled workman
We have ever met. So we bespeak for
him a liberal patronage.
