east, and on his return took up his residence
In Washington as cammander-in-chief of the
army. In October, 1874, he moved the head
quarters to st. Louisi in 1883 he was retired
from active service. The record of General
Sherman in the war Of the Rebellion gives
him place Second only to that accorded
Gen. Grant, and his place in the hearts of
''the boys who wore the blue" in ls6l-'5 is
second to none.
Immediately following his death the presi-
dent officially notified the Senate and House
of Representatives in the following concise
as well as panegyric sentences:
The death of William Tecumseh Sherman,
which took place today at his residence in the
city of New York, at / o'clock. is an event
that will bring sorrow to the heart of every
patriotic citizen.
mo living American was so loved and ven-
Grated as he. To look upon his face, to hear
his name, was to have ones love of country
intensified. He served his country, not for
fame, not out of sense Of professional duty,
but for love of the flag, and of the benefcerft
institutions of which it was the emblem.
"He was an ideal soldier, and shared to the
fullest the esprit du corps of the army, but he
cherished the civil institutions organized un-
der the constitution, and was only a soldier
that these might be perpetuated in undimin-
ished usefulness and honor.
"He was in nothing as imitator--nature
made him comrade to every soldier of the
great union army. No presence was so well
come and inspiring at the camp-f fire or COM
mandery as his. His career was complete;
his honors were full. He had received from
the government the highest rank known to
our military establishment and from the peo-
pie unstinted gratitude and love- No word
of mine can add to his fame.
"His death has followed in startling quick
ness that of the admiral of the navy, and it is
sad and notable incident that when the de-
partment under which he served shall have
put on the usual emblems of mourning, four
of the eight executive departments will be
simultaneously draped in black, and one 9TH
er has but today removed the Grape from its
walls.
The death of "Old Tecumseh" is greeted
throughout the United States with grief Sec
ond to none that have followed the demise of
our other great warriors. It is a calamity
| from which the nation will not soon recover.
| One by one the heroes of '61-66 are passing
across the silent river to country where
trials and hardships, Marching through
Georgia" with its accompany desease and
death, are unknown. All honor to the soldier
both animate and inanimate.

Preparing for Spring.

Only about two more weeks in which TO

& Balsley have placed so many of their goods
on the special sale list. This means that
they will be sold at largely reduced prices, in
order to make the necessary room for their
spring stock, much of which has already
been purchased. Those who desire anything
in the book and stationery line, such as blank
books, desk pads, paper, envelopes or any of
the miscellaneous books now held in stock,
will find that they can buy the same at this
house at less prices than those which have
ever ruled before. They also have fine
lot of cloth and paper window shades on
hand which they bought very low and which
they are bound to close out within the next
two or three weeks. II low prizes will be
any object to close buyers, here certainly is a
chance to save money!

A Change in the Wabash Agency.


It with much regret that the people Of
Napoleon surrender the service of Edward
K. Carnes as station agent here. Although
his time among us was very short there has
been no agent since the road has been in ex-
istence who has more thoroughly ingratiated
himself with all classes as has Mr.. O. His
resignation was handed in over two weeks ago
on account of the Office not being sufficiently
remunerative for one of his experience and
ability. Monday the travelling auditor checked
in the new man and Wednesday Mr.. Kearns
and his estimable family departed for st.
Louis where he has several positions rendered
him. After disposing of real estate interests
In southern Missouri he will, in all probability,
resume work for his old road, the Missouri
and Pacific. II. F. Bachelor of Whitehouse
is the new agent and that he proves as affa.
BILE and competent as his predecessor is all
that can be asked.
