The Pittsville Independent in its
last issue contains long article in
praise of Mr.. Geo. HiIes, headed GA
Busy Life" Parts of the article are
certainly to Mr.. Hijes credit especially
where it says he abstains from all
that can intoxicate. and from the use
of the vile weed in every form. The
independent ought to use It's influence
in bringing about a change of heart,
and the use Of profane language, and
then King George might be ready to
pass in his checks A more favorable
time for the accomplishment Of a great
good for George could not be found.
Good things of men should be said
while living, not after death.

Imperial Egg Food.


This Famous specific for the ills of
poultry is said to have become almost
universally used by poultry men
throughout this and other coun tries
The theory Is, that certain chemicals
are lacking even in the best ordered
hennery, which at this season of the
year begets a0eahmesS, resulting in
ChoJerG and other ills, and loss of
large numbers of youag chicks and
turkeys, and that this preparation
supplies that want Result, con-
tented and cackling family, and lots of
eggs. 1t deserves a trial. Call at the
REPORTER office for it.

Decoration Day Services.
As observed in this city by the g. A. R. Pos
and the III. e. and COng'l Churches

As previously advertised in this
paper the procession was formed in
front Of the post Office made up OF
members of the post, citizens and
school children, headed by the band.
They marched to the cemetery under
command of G. j. Jackson and his
assistants W. A. Keyes and D. E.
Carey.
The day was beautiful one though
exceedingly dry and dusty which made
the walking very disagreable and
unpleasant. However a large number
Joined the procession.
At the cemetery the usual ritual
ceremony was gone through with,
salute of guns, followed by a profuse
decoration of graves with flowers
The procession returned to the city
and repaired to the Opera Hall which
was crowded with men, women and
children.
The exercises were opened by a song
entitled Decoration Hymn from choir
The choir was composed of the follow
ing persons: Mes8rs. G. H. Slocum,
E. J. Wood and D. Bishop, and Misses.
Lou Irwin, Ella Parrish, Lou Dennis,
Mary Witter, Emma Voyer, Laura
Voyer, Laura Reeves, and Tilla Spaf-
ford. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Smith, of the NJ. E. Church, in very
appropriate and fitting manner for
such an occasion. Ritual memorial
service was read by G. j. jackson
and responded to by comrades W. A.
Keyes, D. E. Carey, Brainard Worth
ington and I. j. Cooper after which
Mr. jackson introduced the we'll known
speaker and comrade, Hon Chas. NJ.
Webb.
In the opening of Mr.. Webb's
address he was disturbed by the child
ren in the gallery, but they were soon
quieted and the speaker was allowed to
proceed: 1t is with pride that every
city cherishes its abIest and best men.
They represent the land marks of
city's reputation. They are the
bulworks of it's fame. The people of
this city and vicinity were highly
gratifed on this day to listen to one of
their most honored citizens Judge G.
NJ. Webb who delivered the address at
the decoration of the soldiers graves.
He is one of the most able and popu-
lar judges In the Wisconsin Circuits.
His speech on Sunday was an epitome
Of sound judgement and reasoning. It
reviewed some twenty five years of our
national existence in logical and
cursory manner. His remarks relative
to our nation being in the balance as
to It's future life was very good. His
presentation Of the entire subject and
the credit given the private soldiers as
we'll as the officers in position were
highly appreciated by the soldiers and
citizens Of Wood County, May the
Judge live long and prosper and have
the pleasure Of repeating such an ad-
dress at another time. Following the
speaker was a song by the choir entitl-
ed America, " after which the meeting
was dismissed with benediction by Rev.
A. L. 2. Loomis.
J. W. Cochran was unable to be
present on account Of sickness.

Last Tuesday evening we enjoyed a
pleasant evening with w T. King
who is most of the time confined to
the house. Mr.. King is not seriously
sick, but the nature of his trouble,
known as a clot of blood on the brain,
is such, that he is unable to exercise
much on account of tho pressure or
irritation on the nerves brought about
by exercise. Mr.. King is patient and
hopes that more favorable condition
will be reached soon. His friends are
always welcomed, and he enjoyes a
social conversation on the news of the
day, as it helps pass away long hours.
Call on him.

Mrs. D. j. Cole gave her Sabbath
School class of sixteen boys a ride last
Saturday The boys took their fish
hook and lines and were taken to the
mouth of the Moccason creek or the
west side Of the river where they pass
ed a pleasant afternoon. We did not
learn the number of fish cought, but
take it for granted that sixteen school
boys could not fish all of an afternoon
and not catch any fish. They prob ably
captured few suckers, at least.
