been made in erecting the building.
A few weeks ago your w. F. CORES.

"WAsHINGTON ENTOMBED: -GeorgetOwr
Dec. 2n, 1899. On Wednesday last the NOR
tai part of Washington the Great, the Fa
Their of his Country and the Friend of mar
was cOnsignee to the tomb, with solemn
honors and funeral pomp. A multitude Of
persons assembled from many miles arounc
at Mount Vernon, the choice abode anC
last residence of the illustrienS> chief
There the grOves-the spacious avenues
the beautiful and sublime scenes, the noble
manSion-but alas! the august inhabitant
| lUGS no more. That great soul was gone.
His mortal part was there indeed; but ah
how affecting! how awful the spectacle OF
such worth and greatness, thus to mortal
eyes fallen!-yes! fallen. fallen! In the
long and lofty p0rtlcO, where OFT the Hero
walked in all his glory, now lay the shroud-,
ed corpse. The countenance still composed
and serene seemed to depress the dignity OF
the spirit which lately dwelt in that lifeless
form. There those who paid the last sad
honors to the benefactor of his Country took
an impressve-a farewell view. On the
ornament at the head of the coffin was in
scribtd 'Surge ad judicium'' about the mid
die of the coffin. "GlOria Dec" and on the
silver plate, GENERAL GEORGE WASH
INGTON, departed this life on the 18th OF
December, 1899, II. 68.
Between three and four o'clock the sound
of artillery from vessel in the river firing
minute guns, awOke afresh our solemn sor-
row-the corpse was mOved-a band of mu-
sic with mournful melody, melted the soul
into all the tenderness of woe, the process
sion was formed and moved in the follow
ing order:
Cavalry, Infantry and Guard, with arms
reversed, Music, Clergy, The Generals
horse with his saddle holsters and pistols,
Pail Bearers, Coils. SimmS, Ramsey, Payne,
Corpse, Pail Bearers, Coils. Gilpin, MarStel-
Ter. Little, MOurners, Masonic Brethren,
Citizens. When the procession had arrived
at the bottom of the elevated lawn on the
banks of the Potomac, where the family
vault is located, the cavalry halted, the in
fantry marched toward the Mount, and
formed their lines-the clergy, the Masonic
brothers and the citizens descended to the
vault and the funeral service of the Church
was performed The firing was repeated
from the vessel in the river, and the sounds
echoed from the woods and hills around.
Three general discharges from the infantry
the cavalry and eleven pieces of artillery
which lined the banks of the Potomac back
of the vault, paid the last tribute to the en-
tOmbed Commander-in-chief of the Armies
of the United States and to the departed
Hero. The sun was now setting, alas! the |
son of glory was set forever-NO the name
Of WASHINGTON the American President and |
General will triumph over death! The I'M |
,louded brightness of his glory will illumi-
nate the future ages"
We submit that no historian has paid |
W Washington more touching and eloquent |
jribute than the wrterlof the above article,
md made a more graphic pen picture OF
W ashington's burial.
Wells Goodwin who lives within one
nile of Camp PinetOn was four years, ten

CAMP PINEroN, ARTICLE NO. 2

We are in receipt of copy of the Ulster
county Gazette printed at Kingston, Jan. 4,
1900. The paper is kindly furnished by
Mrs. G. l.. Winship of Fairlee. The paper
is well printed and In excellent state of
preservation. One peculiar thing about
this ninety-fOur year old child of the print
ing press is that there is not a scrap of in
formation in the entire paper to indicate In
what state the paper was printed, we find
however that there is a Kingston Ulster
Co, in New York and take it for granted
that it is New York state paper. The
foreign news IN this paper Is not celebrated
for its freshness. The latest foreign COM
munication being dated London, Oct 20,
1893, or about rs days before its publication
in this country. The most interesting arti-
cles are the communications between Con-
greSs and John Adams, President relative
to the death of George Washington. We
select the article on Washington's funeral
as being the most interesting, which is as
follows:

THE FAIR.

AN EXHIBITION OF THE PEOPLE
For THE PEOPLE AND BY
THE PEOPLE.

! Now IS the time to begin &c
make preparations for the Fall
fair. Watch every opportunity
to provide something that will
help the exhibition and enable
you to make a creditable display
for yourself and your neighbour
hood. If you cannot prepare
more than a single specimen.
provide that, for if everyone does
likewise there will be al mammoth
show. The premium may be
but small and the trouble serious
but every person should be pub
| lie spirited, and value as the best
part of the award, the welfare of
the industry represented, and the
honor Of securing a prize over
ambitious competitors.
The Society, i'll its efforts to
hold a successful fair, has the
liberal support Of the whole com
munity i'll which it is located,
who will work in harmony with
the managers to secure an eX-
hibition we'll worthy or their
united efforts. No doubt but
that many people who have
been repeatedly attending fairs
in the past, have thought their
was much OF sameness III them,
but we aim to get up an exhibit
ton that will not be repetition
of former shows, or a rehearsal of
PLAYED out features, but a live,
progressive fair, Astounding i'll
new sights and features, and in
teresting because fresh and
strange to the eyes Of all who
behold them. We hope to be
able to make this the most mark
ed and memorable of any fair
ever held i'll this section of the
country. We shall delight to
hear such words of praise from
those who attend, as, that the
fair exceeded any previous con-
ception, and i'll every particular
it was better than expected
The fair we hold is devoted to
the interests Of the community
in which you live, and no one
can reasonably afford to ignore
its claims for patronage. No
matter how many other fairs and
exnoSitioas one may attend, the
home fair has the best and strong
est claim upon him, and he
should give it attendance also.
He who is most slow i'll max
ing promise is the most faith
full i'll its performance. For this
reason the public have assurance
that our Fair this year Will be a
full and fair representative of
whatever is put upon the bills.

The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1894-09-27
Eulruthful Ntafamenta.

Aberdeen merchants and commission
men are making untruthful statements
regarding Northern Pacific rates on ship
ments of melons and fruits from eastern
Washington. One of these gentlemen
recently said: Upper Columbia river
peaches, Yakima melons and Walla Wal
la apples are the best; but it's no use
talking, the Northern Pacific won't allow
US to handle them. An experimental
consignment of melons from Yakima
resulted in transportation charges OF So
per dozen"
That statement is false in every particu-
lar, unless the man who uttered it has
been imposed upon by some middleman.
Since June the Northern Pacific rate on
melons from Yakima to Aberdeen has
been: In less than carload lots. Csc per
100 pounds; in straight carloads, 2Olec
per 100 pounds; straight or mixed cars
of fruits and melons, 45c per 100 lbs. To
show how foolish is the claim OF the
Aberdeen men, it is only necessary to
state that melons NAV be shipped by ex
press for $l.20 per 100 pounds from Yak
ina to Aberdeen. That's far less than
merchants at the latter place claim it
costs by freight.
Such false statements as quoted above,
when given publicity injure the country /;
hence THE HERALD hastens to correct
them.
