The writer has found IN his little store
OF war relics q photograph OF General
Logan taken at Huntsville, Alabama, in
December, 1868. which possesses ad-
ditional value in view Of the recent
national bereavement. General Logan
was OF that time in command OF the
fifteenth army corps and OF the post OF
Huntsville, the army being then in
winter quarters after the victory at
Chattanooga and in preparation Tor its
advance on Atlanta. The photo shows
the general in the full vigor OF an active
life. 1t was taken by q local artist and
does not show the finish OF more modern
camera productions.
Rev. J. 81. Hartman attended the
meeting OF Phil Kearney post last night
and upon being introduced gave a most
hearty invitation to the members of the
Grand Army to be present at the de-
partment encampment, to be held in
jamestown in March next. He said the
citizens OF jamestown were making
extraordinary preparations for a most
hospitable entertainment and that all
the beans raised in north Dakota the
past fruitful year had been spoken for,
and would be lavishly served on that
| occasion. He also desired that this
special entertainment on behalf of the
citizens of jamestown be extended to
| all the g. A. r. boys Of south Dakota
He reminded the post that jamestown
is now removed only seventeen hours

Fred B. Stewart, the gentlemsnly
superintendent OF Qaeal s. Co.'S lumber
yard in this CITY, was married Christmas
morning early to a young lady whose
home was in Sioux City. There was
some objection on the part OF her
paternal parent to the consummation of
the proposed marriage and the bride
that now is met Nj. Stewart here in
Yankton, proceeded from the depot to
the minister's residence and became his
wife as speedily as the nan of God could
pronounce the magic words. The train
from Sioux City was several
hours late that night and
this circumstance added to the
interest of the event. Though we have
not been invited to extend
CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couple.
we presume upon the liberty afforded by
the occasion and comply with polite CON-
%ventionaIism. Mr.. Stewart is one OF
Yankton's most estimable citizens and
his good fortune induces his many
friends to extend their best wishes for
long life and prosperity.
