and amid their jubllant cheers the lofty
pole was soon towering 100 feet in the air
with shorter one close by it. They were
be autiful pine poles with the bark on
them, and from one to the other the ropes
were stretched upon which to suspend
the beautiful banner. When everything
was ready Senator Riddleberger approach
