Saturday, May aOth, 1891, being the

WHEREAS Arrangements have been
made for appropriate services on that
day by the G. A. R., S. of ", the
Ladies Circle Of the G. A. R., and the
citizens, it would seem but appropriate
in Difference to the occasion, that the
citizens of Great Bend lend their assist
ance and presence that the exercises
may therefore be the more impressive
and the lessons of loyalty to the nation
there sought to be taught, be the more
firmly instilled in to the hearts of the
young.
And in view of this, 1, A. Laidlaw
mayor of the city of Great Bend, would
most earnestly recommend that al
places of business be closed on that day
between the hours of l and O'Clock, D
M, that employers and employees may
attend the Decoration services.

Do you remember what an elegant
trades display Great Bend had last
18th of July? Why not begin now to
make preparations fer a grand parade
and picnic on the coming 4th? Last
years celebration can be improved
upon in many ways. We would sug
gest that the citizens of the city make
up few prizes and offer for the best
display, the most outlandIsh turn out,
and the township alliance that turns
out the largest display. By beginning
early we can arrange for one of the
grandest times ever had in the city.
Don't let us hear of any merchant OF
business man getting cranky and say
ing he can't afford it, or that he don't
want any grangers taking part in the
display. IF there be such men in the
city they certainly do not have SUI:
ficient regard for the general we'll
being of our town and county, and
have not sufficient of the milk of
human kindness to recognize that we
are one people, with common inter
est and should, on the occasion of Gel
ebrating our National holiday, work
together as one man.

Lincoln township, drowned in swill
barrel, last week Thursday. 1t APP
pears the little fellow was in the habit
to play in the yard at his pleasure.
A swill barrel had been so arranged
that the bigger part of it was buried
in the ground. As TO how the little
boy happened to fall in no one knows,
but when he stayed out longer than
usual, his mother instituted search for
him and found him dead as above
stated. 1t is indeed sad occurrence
and another evidence of the many
dangers little children are exposed to,
and too rigid care can not be exercised
for their safety.-St John Capital.
