DECORATION DAY.
EDWIN GREEN.

Veterans of war that are living to-day,
What memories appear TO Your yirw;
How strong is the thought of your fast
beating hearts
Ger tho grave OF some friend dear to
You.
How yiyid the scenes of the late battle
How you fancy one still at your side;
MID the blast OF the cannon ana the heat
Struck down n = moment, your brave
conlrade died.
You remember the day when you left the
old cot
In answer to duty's stern call.
HOW you looked ut your dear ones. then
hnstcned away,
Left behind what to you WAS your all.
Your love was divided twixt country
Oh. how hard 1t was then to decide;
Your country in danger, your loved ones
Your emotion was hard then to hide.
But duty cried hasten, take arms 'gainst
the foe,
Like men with truo hearts Join the
fight:
You nobly enlisted and stood to your
flag,
And fought against mish for tho right
Some comrades that stood firm at your
side,
Midst the smoke and the heat of the
fray.
Wore struck by bullets and laid in the
grave;
What n mercy you arc still living to-
day.
Comrades departed, your memories still
live;
Your graves shall be decked W ith sweet
flowers:
The nation has missed you and mourn at
your loss,
And gives to your memories O few
special hours.
Comrades still living and Drawing the
storm,
Reflect us you go on your way;
rhink kindly of those who were killed
on tho field,
Thank God you live this thirtieth OF
May.

n. MEGARY & SON,
Straw Mattings.

Our large assortment of Straw
Mattings is now ready, and we
invite your early inspection to
wha. we know is the best line OF
mattings ever placed in the mar
ket. Having bought them at
very low figures we are selling
them accordingly. No matter
when you intend buying you
should see our mattings. We
offer 4o-yard roll at 81, which
is worth anywhere, Sc. This
meets the required want OF a
very cheap floor covering.
Mattings for Summer use
cannot be too highly praised;
they will more than save their
cost by using them through
the warm and dusty season
in place Of carpets. Your car
pets will last longer if this
method is followed. OF COM
fort and health we say nothing.
Our better grades are made
jointless or with five and two
yard ioints-these are better to
turn.
In our rs, 80 and 35-cent
goods you will find handsome
and novel patterns never before
shown. lfyou are thinking Of
a mating send request by
postal card or telephone and
the samples will be sent to you.
This saves you trouble and you
have the satisfaction of looking
them over in your own home.
The samples are large and you
can select from them as we'll as
the roll. This is no trouble to
us and does not in any way
bind you to a sale. As soon as
we get your request for samples
they will be dispatched to you
no eelay-and you see the
best mattings you ever looked
at. This must be a big mating
season with us. and the prices
will make it so.
