just Recognition.
G. w. Henry, of Post No. I, Des
Moines, was appointed special aide and
color bearer for Flag Day, by Deparu-
ment Commander Geo. A. Newman.
These aides were appointed to assist
the department commander in his
duties and was quite an honor confer
red upon our fellow townsman, G. w.
Henry, and was just recognition of a
valuable soldier and a good and useful
citizen. He carried the Post banner
on Flag Day. Geo. A. Newman was
the first to recognize colored soldiers
in the Grand Army of the Republic
aud he made no distinction among the
brave and true men and was successful
in gaining recognition for the colored
men in nearly all posts in the state.
At last reports the G. A. R. post at
Newton is the only one in the state
which continues to refuse admission to
colored soldiers. Such action would
be expected in Texas or Louisiana,
but not in proud Iowa.

Fixing u sansaky shoe.

Thousands of more or less ridiculous
remedies have been suggested for
squeaky shoes, the facetious one being.
Of course, that the owner shall go and
pay his shoe bill and appease the
wrath of his foot covering. guaran-
tee every shoe | sell to be Absolutely
silent from the very first day worn.
The remedy which common sense sug-
gests and which never fails is to insert
d little French chalk between the two
soles This is being done by several
manufacturers, and when | have any
doubt on the subject | do it myself
without defacing the shoe in any way.

THE EXCURSION.

The excursion given to Waterloo by
the colored Baptists Of this city was
fairly well attended. Owing to the in
conveniences of transportation the
crowd, however, was not SO large as it
might have been. The journey was a
pleasant one and some very interesting
incidents took place. The trainnen
were exceedingly accommodating and
the management had in readiness a
large quantity of good things to eat,
making the hours consumed in reach
ing the objective point pass away both
pleasantly and quickly The excnr-
sionists after arriving went almost di-
rectly to the athletic ball park, where
a local colored ball team from Des
Moines crossed bats with Waterloo's
first nine. Our boys put up fair
game of ball, yet luck seemed to be
against them and they went down to
defeat by score of ~ tor. The even
ing was devoted to social entertain
ment, first being concert given by the
Perno Sisters minstrel company, under
the management Of Messrs. Smith and
Hughes. The concert merited a much
larger attendance than it received.
The members of the company each did
well in giving good, realistic and re-
fined entertainment. The dance at
Turner's hall was crowded. The music
was well rendered and sweet. Everyone
present reported a good time. The
journey home was mostly given to
sleep.
