The No Name Reading club have just
closed a delightful years work, and
before taking their vacation "Straw-
berry Symposiac" was held ut the beau
tiful grounds of Mrs. Geo. Weddell,
Thursday afternoon. The programme
consisting of music, debate, toasts,
ETC., was carried out in full. A few in
vited guest were present. The toasts
were drank with coffee, as no member
of the club is addicted to anything
stronger. 1t was merry feast indeed,
Il ''feast of reason and flow of soul
especially after refreshments, the
club were too full for utterance. The
removal from town of one of our most
efficient members is very much regret
ted by the club. The Presidents ad-
dress was replete with wit, but being
exceedingly timid, declines to give her
manuscript to the public. The samples
sent the JOURNAL family leave no
doubt in our minds about the feast, but
we have not been favored with any
other kind of samples, consequently
cannot say much about the "ilow of

improvements.

Much needed and substantial inn
provements are being made in our side
walks and crossings. The stone pave
ment from Walnut street on Front
street to the Avenue has for some time
been in bad shape but Mr.. j. H.
Thornton and his workmen are getting
it in fine condition now. There are a
few places which should be fixed and it
is hoped the property owners will at
tend to it Immediately, rs it would be
less expensive to do the work now than
to wait until another Winters frost
gets its work in.
A new crossing is being put down on
the north side OF Louisiana avenue ON
Front street for the pedestrians going
and coming from the dock. The work
is being well and rapidly done and the
people will appreciate the work of the
street committee for attending to this
much needed Improvement. 1t will
afford accommodation not only to our
own citizens but to the thousands pat
ronizing the steamer Pastime.
Mr.. John Anon is having the front
of his business block painted. Joe Boff
is doing the work, which gives the
front n fine appearance.

here ON the 3Oth, but was postponed to
Saturday, June LIST, by reason of the
terrible rain storm that prevailed on
the 3Oth. Soon after dinner on Satur-
day large crowd of men, women and

flowers. After waiting short time

peared in sight followed by large
crowd from that village. A halt was
called in front of Belleville Ridge
school-house and as many as could, en-
tered the house. After prayer by w.
L. Deverna chaplain of the POST, Mr..
Campbell, of Bowling Green, was intro
duced and beautiful grafton was do
livered by that gentleman. The crowd
then proceeded to the old cemetery
near by, where recitation entitled.
THE Blue and Gray" by Miss Ollie
Egbert was heard, after which the
graves of our dead heroes were appro
priately decorated. The ceremonies
begin concluded here, the crowd
proceeded to the new Belleville Ridge
cemetery where beautiful mound had
been previously erected in memory of
the unknown, though honored graves.
The decoration of the mound was beau
tiful. never saw finer display of
flowers at any previous decoration.
Miss Florence Deverna assisted by
twelve sweet little girls dressed in red,
white and blue attracted the admira-
tion of all. A solemn and impressive
prayer by E. w. Deveina (Chaplain)
closed the exercises, and the large
crowd dispersed, all feeling conscious
ness of having done noble act in men,
ory of those noble patriots who died
that their country might live.

U. b. church on next Sabbath evening.
All are cordially invited.

money and can't get work and SO are
obliged to stay or walk back where
they came from. A teamster is Obliged
