Memorial Services at CollYsr.

The services held at the Collyer
Baptist church on Memorial Sunday
were largely attended.
The Post and Sons of Veterans
formed at the G. A. r. hall and
marching Into the church formed a
line in front of the minister and sa-
luted him.
Services opened by singing my
Country IT'S of Thee" followed by
prayer from the officiating clergyman,
Rev. Thompson, of Wa-Keeney. The
text was taken from the 25th chapter
of Revelation and eXpounded in a
impressive and original manner.
It appealed directly to all our
higher senses and gave food for much
wholesome thought. Dwelling with
some length upon the grand review
at Washington in 1865 and Of the re-
view on the last great day when none
would be missing.
The remarks were thought by all to
be exceedingly appropriate for the oc-
casion. By suggestion of Mr.. Thomp-
son the most Of the congregation
while singing ''God Be With You Till
We Meet Again." and "We1l Never
Say Good Bye in Heaven" most of
those present shook hands with the
dear old veteran.
1t was a grand success, it linked the
type already formed and printed it in
delibly upon the hearts of all present
and linking the bonds of fellowship
much closer. No doubt many missed
las did) the massive form of Captain
Fouts, and all hearts went out in pity
to the lonely widow whose sad face
told so plainly of bereavement and
resignation.
AS l noted the Statutory effect of the
kindly thought for the veteran, /
thought what apparently triflng
things make the joys and sorrows of
life; how many rough places on the
journey of life would be made
smoother by little consideration for
the rights and feelings of others. At
no time has there been more thor
oughly appreciative service held at
Collyer than on this Memorial Sab
bath N. ID.

Last Sabbath Rev. Thompson, of
Wa-Keeney, delivered memorial ser
mon at Collyer to large and appre-
ciative audience. He reviewed the
scenes of the army, and also the grand
review at Washington, and compared
it to the war of life to the last great
review upon the judgment day. He
gave the old boys and also others, q
grand lesson how they should live in
order to pass favorable inspection in
the final review. JACK.

Commencing last Wednesday even
ing and continuing through the night
and most of next day, we enjoyed one
of the finest rains that ever fell in
western Kansas. AS consequence,

Frank McIvor, of the Hoxie Senti-
mel, has developed into a fighter since
locating in the ''wild and wooly''
northwest. When we used to know
Frank at Grainfield he was as mild
hammered a lad as ever scuttled a
basket of chips and his mild blue eyes
gave no evidence of any pent up Utica
within. All this reminds US that you

We learn that the owner of the
Opera block has decided to let mat
tiers take their own course and will
not pay taxes thereon, but allow the
county to become the purchaser at
tax sale, with the idea of redeeming
in three years if there should be an
advance in real estate. We presume
they have legal right to do this if
they want to, but certainly all obliga-
tions from the city and county are
now at an end and reciprocity should
cease. The city very generously in
Cured an expense to protect the walls
when it was under no legal Obliga-
tion to do so and, fearing to injure
the owners prospects for a sale, has
permitted the walls to stand even
though there has been some risks in
Cured in so doing. Hereafter our
city and county should look after
their own interests with reference to
this property.

Decoration Day in Wa-Keeney.

Decoration Day was observed in
Wa-Keeney as usual this year, but on
account of the bad weather it was i'm
possible to carry out the program as
originally intended.
The exercises under the auspices of
Captain TregO Post G.. A. r. began at
the court house at 2:3O p. m. and were
attentively listened to by fair audi
ence, only, this being the only OBJ
servance of this day, within our rec
election, that the large room was not
density crowded.
The following members of the G. A.
r. were present: Joshua Croft, A. E.
Sigler, Josiah East, J. w. Carson,
Lewis Jones, Theo. Courtney, Benz.
Jackson, A. B. Mumert, D. Country
man, S. NJ. Hutzel, w. S. Harrison,
w. G. Olson, Joseph Escher. Among
the familiar faces missed were a. j.
McCollum, G. w. Sweet, Henry Cut
Ter, G. @. Yetter and William LaRue.
These comrades were doubtless kept
away on account of the threatening
aspect of the weather. There were
two more vacant chairs this year
those of Comrades Weakley and
Thomas.
A double quartet, rendered several
beautiful pieces. Mrs. J. A. Nelson,
Mrs. E. A. Rea, Mrs. A. B. Jones,
Miss Bessie Cowick and MeSsrs. Har-
rison, Straw, Hoar and Pendergrass
composed the choir.
The marching Of the children de-
serves special mention and was the
subject of much praise as was also the
salute to ''Old Glory" The ladies
having these exercises in charge are
entitled to much credit.
Rev. Johnson delivered very in
teresting and patriotic address, al
though he thought it expedient to
abbreyiate.
After the exercises were concluded
in the court room committee pro-
ceeded to the cemetery and decorated
the graves of the dead soldiers.

TUESDAY EVENING. JIM IS, 1926.
WASHINGTON.

Col Washington had seen much SER
vice on the Virginia frontier and knew
it as no other man did before the Brad
dock campaign.
In the council of the FIVE Colonial
Governors with Gen. Braddock in the
Carlyle house, Alexandria, Washing
tons advice vas asked, only to be
disregarded Nevertheless he went
with Braddock as an aide, fortunately
for himself, for the remnant of the de-
feated army and for all America.
Paddock was typical John Bull.
When his army reached the danger me
some Indian beauties, who were 1ol-
lowing it and of whom the officers
were ;.scandalous fond" among them
the dazzling Bright Lightning, daugh-
of White Thunder" were all sent
away.
This was well enough, but there
was delay in procuring wagons-wag-
ons he must have. When he got them
he sometimes made twelve miles in four
DAYS, his sappers hewing for them
through the thick woods road that
was used for years afterward by emf
grants to the west.
When Washington protested against
the slow, unguarded march, Braddock
said: "These savages may be indeed u
formidable enemy to raw American
militia, but upon the Kings regular
and disciplined troops, sir, it is impos-
sible to make any impression"
And when Capt. Jack, the Black
Rifle" came to offer the services Of his
rangers, Braddock haughtily repl.sGG
that he bad experienced troops upon
whom he could rely
The troops, and Braddock, gained
more experience when it was too late to
be of use.
Braddock's force was really tormida
bic if properly handled. The French
commander at Fort DuQuespe Pitts
burg was in despair, and on the point OF
evacuating, when young Capt. Beaujeu
offered to lead sortie He caught the
English in the narrow road they made
as they went along.
Whatever was done in defense was
done by the Virginia rangers. Brad
docks .'experienced troops" were shot
down like sheep until they turned and
ran. More than half were lost; few
would have escaped had not the In
dams stopped to plumber the bodies.
When>Braddock fell, mortally wound
ed, ii was Washington who commanded
the retreat, and escorted the dying
general, slung in big silk sash between
two steady horses.
"Who would have thought it?'
moaned he. 1--WE shall know better
next time"
For him there was no next time"
Before he:died he gave Washington his
best horse and his negro servant, Bish-
op, perhaps in token of his tardy
appreciation of the wise advice of the
provincial colonel.-Richmond State.
