MEMORIAL SERVICES.

Memorial or Decoration Day was
properly observed in this city by mem
bers of the G. a. r., the school
children and citizens generally. In the
afternoon of the 3Oth the people assem-
bled at the G. A. r. Hall where line
Of march was formed led by the "boys
In blue" They were followed by the
young lady cadets, school children,
citizens on foot and in buggies and
proceeded to Forest Hill Cemetery.
Flowers were plenty and beautiful. At
the cemetery the usual ceremony was
performed by the proper officers and
the graves of the departed literally
decorated. These exercises on this day
always bring back the recollections of
hard fought battle with It's sad results
and reminds us of loved ones who have
gone before. How appropriate are
these words by Will Carleton:
Cover them over with beautiful flowers;
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours;
Lying so silent, by night and by day,
Sleeping the years of their manhood away;
Years they had marked for the joys of the brave;
Years they must waste in the sloth of the grave
All the brightlaurels they fought to make bloom
Fell to the earth when they went to the tomb
Give them the need they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their merits forecast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life;
Cover them over; yes, cover them over
Parent, and husband, aId brother, and lover;
Crown in your hearts these dead heroes of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful flowers.

Centralia Locals.

Mrs. Sophie Noel, of Merrill, is in
the city and will spend two weeks with
her parents.
The common council met in special
session to consider the Bridge Commit
tees report. They accepted the same

Corriveau 500 for their services on
such committee.
F. MacKinnon & Co., have erected a
large addition to their mill which will

Businessi is moving with regularity and
precision at the Centralia FIGURING
Mills The -four manufactured at this
mill has state reputation.
Mr.. L. O. Garrison, of Thorp, a
brother of Frank Garrison, who was
formerly a resident of Centralia has
been appointed postmaster at that
place.
Mrs. Mary Painter, who has been
visiting in this city with her parents for
several months past returned to her
home at Ruby Camp, Colorado, the
past week.

Pittsv1lle Items.

From Independent: Forty thousand
men will be employed to take the CEN
sus of 1890.
Some of the married men of the first
ward seem to be getting notorious, and
will have to be interviewed by White
Gaps-or Kate Bushnell.
A number of the ladies of the Relief
Corps took it upon themselves last
Tuesday, to renovate and clean out
Cotey's Hall and place it in a more
presentable condition for lodge meet
ings.
Articles of association have been
filed in the Secretary of States Office,
at Madison, by D. A. Goodyear, Charles
A. Goodyear, Walter D. Mcpherson,
Adam Gabe and Newell E. Richardson,
for the purpose of building a railroad
from Goodyear, on the St. Paul road in
Jackson County, to Neillsville, Clark
County, to be called the Goodyear,
Neilsville & Northern railroad. The
proposed new line will be twenty-five
miles long.
About twenty-persons from this City
and Dexterville went to either take
part in or witness a game of bail, which
was to have been played on the fair
grounds Of that city, in the afternoon of
that day, but the weather was such that
the game had to be postponed until
c,.I. i l.
rain in the early morning and steadily
kept It up all day. A special train was
run over the W., P. as. R'y. to connect
with the c., M. & st P. both morning
and evening, to accommodate the
excursion lists.
If reports are true about a certain
married man who lives in the First
Ward, heavy coat of tar and feathers,
and free ride on rail out Of the
country is none too good for him.
This community has no use for such
brute in human form as reports make
out this man to be, and it would be
wise thing for him to do to leave the
city at once to never return, to escape
the wrath of an indignant people. 1t
does not seem possible that a man
endowed with all, or even part, OF the
allotted faculties which man is supposed
to possess, could so far step over the
bounds of decency as to insult little
innocent school girls while on their way
to and from school. We defer further
comment, us our readers know to whom
and what we refer.

POSTMASTER.

A great deal of interest is now center
ing itself ON the question as to who
shall be the next postmaster? The
discussion of this question is brought
out at this time because DIR. 6. +.
Witter, who was formerly postmaster
for eighteen consecutive years is circu-
lating a petition for his re-appointment
and circulating the information that he
viii erect a fireproof brick building for
that purpose if appointed. Its lauda-
ble enterprise to show ones self willing
to erect a fireproof building and we for
one would be pleased to have the
doctor erect such building irregardless
of the post-office. The doctor has
always been an active working republi-
can and is entitled to credit for such
labor, and we believe this community
stand ready to credit him with every
thing he is entitled to. But in refer
ence to his disappointment as post
master after an eighteen years service
in that capacity they feel he has been
well repaid. 1t is right, it is justice, to
recognize some other deserving repub-
Iican and pass such plums as the post
office around so that all may receive
their just share of federal patronage.
We don't wish to be understood that
we oppose his appointment from any
motive of nl-will, or malace, but from
the fact that he and his family have been
literally recognized by athe party and
that his re-appointment would not be
satisfactory TO the Republicans or the
community generally.
Since this question has come up we
have taken the pains to get the senti-
ment Of the community in this respect,
and find that it is more than two to one
in favor of our old and respected towns
man T. w. Burt. We hereto append
the reasons, offered by others as well as
our own, in behalf of Mr.. Burt's
appointments: First-That in accord
ance with civil service law he is entitled
to it having served under DR.. Witter as
assistant for twelve years. Second
Because he is a deserving soldier.
Third.-Because he has always been a
loyal and staunch republican. Fourth.
because he is in moderate cIrcum
stances and needs the benefits Of the
office. For these and many other
minor reasons we prefer his appoint
ment above that of any of those who
are now in the field as applicants.

the Threshing Machines then
in use we're almost wholly of
the class known as the Endless
Apron" style. Then it was that
Nichols & Shepard, of Battle
Greek, Mich. ,inventedandbegan
to develop an entirely new and
novel style of Grain Thresher and
Separator, which theyveryappr
priately named the "Vibrator."
1t was a revolution in Thresh-
ing Machines, and from a small
beginning of FIVE machines in
1853 they soon reached a pro-
duct of 1000 yearly.
Their Vibrator drove the END
less Apron" machine out of mar
ket. and all other makers copied
it as closely as they dared. To-
day all Threshing Machines of
any reputation or merit use the
principles of the old Vibrator.
Nichols & Shepard have con-
tinued in the business without
change of name, location, or
management; and during the
past three years have brought
out and developed another new
Threshing Machine for grain and
seeds, as superior to all existing
machines as their former was to
the Endless Apron They name
this new and improved Thresher

New Bridge Accepted.

The Bridge committee relieved the
Milwaukee Iron Bridge Company from
their contract last Monday by accepting
the bridge and paying for the same.
There is some clearing up work to do
yet which has been let by contract to
Mr.. VIM. Brown whose business it will
be to take out the cid piers below low
water mark which he calculates to do
Immediately. He will use a portion of
it for the erection of 12x50 foot pier
for Mr.. Crosse.
The committee saved the cities $500
on the contract by that clause which
provided for forfeit of S25 day after
the first day of May if the bridge was
not completed. The bridge was not
ready for travel until the 25th day of
May making "a days of forfeit money
The bridge, since its completion, we
believe is perfectly satisfactory to the
people and will we hope prove dura-
ble structure. 1t will have to be paint
ed by the cities and ought to have a
sheet iron covering over the top chords.
1t is to be hoped that proper ordinances
will be passed providing penalties for
driving faster than walk across SAID
bridge and cutting or maring the side
walk railings. Now that we have a
frst-class bridge let US take good care
of it.
The citizens feel under obligations to
the bridge committee, Messrs. I. E.
Nash, Geo. A. Corriveau, John Parrish
and P. McCamley for the care shown
by them in seeing that the contract was

still holds his old position as one of the
most popular shoe men, and his store is
the resort of those who take pride in
natty foot wear as well as those desiring
the more substantial goods.
