Honor The Soldier Dead.

Preparations are being everywhere
made to celebrate Memorial day, which
is nearing us with its sacred memories
and tender influences. Time is carrying
lis steadily further away from the sceens
of civil strife and nature has covered the
red-streaked battlefields of the nation
with carpet of verdure. The sound of
the cannon and the clash Of swords, the
tread of the mighty armies and the sobs
of the brave boys on the tented field and
of loved ones at home, grow more and
more indistinct as the years go by and
new generations come upon the scene OF
action. The bitter animosity which was
engendered between sections has been
mellowed, and the angel of peace, sweet,
holy peace, spreads his white wings over
the lakes and plains and mountains Of
the north and over the cotton fields and
cotton beds of the south. Mighty
changes have been wrought in thirty
years. But myriad OF graves are
among us, the same graves that were
filed from 81 to 60. Chairs have been
vacant in our homes during all this
time; the empty uniform and the battered
sword are still in our closets. We still
remember and love the boys who went
out from our loving embrace to face
danger and death upon the battlefield.
Year by year the graves become moro
numerous III InC cemetery. Lear Dy
year the veterans grow grayer, and the
strong man of 81 is marching with feeb-
Ter step onward toward the great final
reunion. Such are the only changes
that the years have made in the features
of Memorial day.
It is becoming in people to remember
the sacrifices of the soldier who gave or
offered his life for them and their inter
ests, Rome, proud, imperious Rome, for
got the men who had fought her battles,
and reveled in luxury while some of them
languished in prison cells. America is
appreciative of her brave. Once year
she scatters flowers upon their graves,
and all the time their memories arc en-
balmed in her grateful heart. Any peo--
pie who will pause to drop tear upon
the tombs of their dead soldiers, have
reason to respect themselves and to claim
the respect OF others; and while we are
remembering the dead our hearts will
swell with Thanksgiving that We are in
the shadow of flag of united republic,
whose different sections are animated by
a common hope, a common inspiration
and common destiny--Farmers Voice.

Post Office Removal.

A month or more ago Rocky Ford was
somewhat agitated over a rumor that the
new postmaster, Polk Salyer, intended to
remove the postoffice from its present To-
cation to the building adjoining Charley
Rockers on the south side of town. The
discussion lasted few days and the mat
ter was forgotten last Friday, when it was
ascertained that postmaster Salyer had
obtained the permission Of the depart
ment to remove the Office to the south
side. Inquiry developed tho fact that
Mr.. Salyer's reasons for the proposed re-
moval are as follows:
The building which he occupies is bad
ly in need of repairs and the owners are
unwilling to do the required work with
out contract for definite length OF
lease. Mr.. Salysr does not wish to OBJ
igate himself for stated time, for should
the government decide on q change Of
location he would be personally respon-
sible for the rent. The boxes are old
style and not what he desires to use and
the office accommodations generally not
desire to erect good One-story brick
building adjoining the Golden Rule store,
the size to be 20 by sc feet. The rear
will be devoted to two living rooms,
leaving ample space for a commodious
post office. He has planned to purchase
new keyless boxes at a cost.of about 5000
and in every way provide an Office which
will be creditable to himself, the gov
ernment and the patrons. The objec-
tions to the removal are that the location
decided on is far from the business GEN.
tire, while the present location is just OK
actly the right place to best accommodate
the business interest Of the town.
A number Of petitions are in circulation
and being largely signed, asking that the
post Office be not removed to the south
side of the railroad Those most active
in the movement to retain the Office in
the business center have made a liberal
proposition to Mr.. Salyer. The site he
has chosen on the south side he does not
buy, but leases. In order to take away
every lndncement to move the office and
give Mr.. Salyer "better lay out than
he has planned for himself, the north
side business men propose to make the
postmaster present OF lot in the bus
mess portion of town. This seems to be
..the longest pole which should knock the
persimmons."
