Veterans, Return to washington.

The Grand Army encampment at
Washington in September will be the
occasion of the reunion of thousands Of
veterans who parted in that city in
1865, after the grand review following
the surrender at Appomatox and the
capitulation of Richmond. Again,
after a lapse of 81 years, thousands of
veterans will march down Pennsylva-
MIA avenue to be reviewed again by the
president of the United States, mem
bers Of his cabinet and other distin-
guished personages. 1t will be a
spectacle seldom equaled in the magni-
ficence of the display and in the
number of men participating. The
excursion tickets to Washington via
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will
be sold by all the roads in the west at
exceedingly low rates, The chief
delight of the trip to Washington will
be the journey via the picturesque
Baltimore and Ohio, which crosses the
Allegheny mountains and for $50 miles
traverses territory fraught with the
most thrilling incidents Of the war.

time of trains, rates and sleeping car

BUSINESS THRIVING.
How the City of Abilene is Coming to
the Front.

How the City of Abilene is Coming to
the Front.
There are a good many signs indicat-
ing that business was never so good in
Abilene as at present. The good crops
of the past two years, the conservatism
born Of the experiences Of boom times
and the intelligent, careful methods Of
our businessmen have united to put
Abilene today in better shape than at
any time In its history.
For instance there is not a storeroom
in the business portion of town suit
able for business purposes that is not
occupied or being prepared for occu-
pancy. This could not be said at any
time in the past four years, there being
more or less empty buildings all the
time. This means much. 1t means
that Abilene is going ahead.
The telegraphing done by town is a
good index of its business life. The
Western Union Office has during the
past six months done larger volume
of business than for any similar period
since telegraph Office was established
here, % years ago, June was the best
month in the Offices history.
All these things are straws that
Indicate Abilene's prosperity. May
there be no backward novel
