miscuous banners under which the diff
3erent American forces campaigned dur
ing the first two years Of the Revolution
will be found Of interest at this anniver-
sary Of the birth Of the nation.
The first regular battle Of the war
was Bunker Hill It is not likely that
there were any colors carried by the few
miitiamen who were hastily got togeth-
er at Concord and Lexington two months
before But after the skirmishes at
these places each Of the colonies set up
its own flag. Unfortunately descriptions
Of these flags were not preserved, and
the information we have is very vague.
The most definite information as to
American flags we get is in foreign jour
mails at ports where American ships at
that time touched. There is no satisfac-

tory information as to the standard used
by the colonists at Bunker Hill, fought
ON julie II, 1775. Indeed it has never
been proved that they had any stand
ards, though one writer says they were
as various as the troops were motley. !"
There is picture Of the battle in the
rotunda Of the capitol at Washington,
painted by Trumbull, the celebrated
American artist Of that day, in which
the Americans are pictured fighting un-
der a red flag having white canton
bearing green pine tree. Warren is
said to have reminded his troops Of the
motto on their standard, on one side of
which was, "Qui transtulit sustinet"
<He who brought us here will sustain
us), and ON the other, can appeal to
heaven" This appears to have been the
Connecticut motto. An old lady told
Mr.. Losing, the historian, that her IA
Their was at the battle and assisted in
hosting the flag. He described it to her.
The ground was blue, with one corner
quartered by the red cross Of st. George,
in one section of which was. pine tree.
On July IS, 1775, standard was pre-
sented to Washington bearing the motto,
can Appeal to Heaven" On Oct. 20,
1775, plan was suggested for a Revo-
lutionary flag, which was a white
ground and tree in the middle bearing
the motto, "An Appeal to Heaven" It
was the flag of American floating bat
teries. This was undoubtedly adopted by
Massachusetts,, and it was used on Amer
lean ships.
In September, 1775, Colonel Moultrie,
in South Carolina, had flag made
which was blue, with white crescent
i'm the corner. On June %, 1776, this
flag, with the word Liberty inscribed
upon it, was raised on what is now Fort
iMoultrie. This was the first American
flag displayed in the south.
The colors of the American feet July,
1870 were 13 stripes, with rattlesnake
across, bearing the motto, "Don't Tread
on Me-.
In Paul Jones' flag the stripes were
alternate red and blue. The rattlesnake
was favorite device among the colo
:nists. In 1775 an old device used in the

On the 9Th of February, 1776, Colonel
Gadsden presented to congress standard
for the commander Of the navy. It was
q yellow flag, with rattlesnake in the
middle coiled ready to strike. and the
motto, ''Don't Tread ON Me. !" At the
equipping Of feet q committee was ap-
pointed at Cambridge to consider flag.
The result was the union jack, coupled
with Is stripes This was the close of
the year 1775. The flag was hoisted ON
the I'd Of January at the Cambridge
camp. At the battle Of Long Island,
Aug. 20, 1776, the British captured from
a small band of Americans a red damask
flag, with the motto, Liberty" At the
battle Of White Plains, Oct 20, 1870,
the Americans carried flag with a
crossed sword and staff, with liberty cap
on the end of the staff and the motto,
Liberty or Death. -
The earliest suggestion of stars in an
American flag is in standard Of the
Philadelphia Light horse (1774-5),
though it is not probable. that this influ-
enced the design Of the national flag. It
was on the 18th Of June, 1777, that the
American congress decided on banner.
1t was ON that day resolved "that the
flag Of the Is United States be IS stripes
Of alternate red and white; that the On
ion be 10 stars, white in blue field,
representing new onstellation.V This
design was at once promulgated, and the
vast number Of colonial flags bearing
rattlesnakes, pine trees, union jacks and
other emblems and notices disappeared,
and the remainder Of the war was fought
out under the stars and stripes.

BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION:
\N7E wish to contradict the statemer
Wv which &c heinn mode xu;tho,,+ E,,,n \.

\NIE wish to contradict the statement
w which is being made without lounda-
ton, that the sale of the Minneapolis Binder
and the Walter A. Wood Manufactures gener-
ally was takenaw from US. On the contrary,
we had contract with that company for the
sale Of these goods for this year, but on account
Of the embarrassment and final failure Of the
company, we cancelled the contract, on the
grounds that we could not afford to sell, or
offer for sale, any binder or mower, that in all
probability would go out of existence in a year
or two. Although we dislike very much to
change machines, having handled the Mime
!apolls binder ever since it was manufactured,
or about II years, yet in justice to our custom
ers we felt compelled to do so.
In making the change and selecting THE
WAUKEE, we exercised great care,
feeling that when the substitution was made
we would have a machine that we could
handle for at least the next II years and there
by assure our customers, not only Of first
class machine, but in case ofbreakage Of plenty
Of extras in stock, the1 eby emphasizing the
fact more fully, that we, as machine dealers;
are not simply summer agents but can be found
at our place Of business the year around to
meet every reasonable demand that can be
made upon US
We wish to say to cur farmer friends and
old customers, before you buy binder care
fully examine THE Milwaukee and you
will be convinced that it is not only one of the
Gghtest draft and most durable machines made
but you will be guaranteed the best Of service
in the way ofextras, full stock of which will
be kept constantly on hand. No waiting or 4
days in the middle of harvest for some little
extra that costs from IS to so cents.
Thanking you for past favors, we are,
Yours respet fully,

Early Banking in Mineral Point.

From a paper ON early banking en-
terprises in Wisconsin, prepared by
Senator J. w, Bashford Of Madison
and published in the state Journal
We clip the following;
Coy. Dodge, IN his annual message
to the legislative assembly, delivered
Noy. q, 1888, recommended an inves-
LEGATION Of the condition Of the sew
eral banks in the territory, A com
mittee of investigation was appointed
BY the Legislature and undertook to
examine the three banks then in
existence in the territory, but their
labors We're rendered diillcult and
practically frultless by recaleitrant
and dishonest bank officials.
The legislative visiting committee
was evidently grossly deceived as to
the condition of the Dank of Mineral
Point, as i was reported 70 be in a
solvent and safe condition when in
fact it must have been hopelessly
insolvent. Samuel b. Knapp, the
cashier reported only S5a,075 Of circu-
notes outstanding, and claimed the
bank held specie in the sum of $685.
62l44, and United STATES treasury
notes ia the sum Of S7,905.37, and
other cash iterus milking the assets
available for th,rademption of these
bills the sum Of 500, 49s4s. Moreover.
he swore that 100000 of the capital
stock bad been paid in and that the
bank had never charged more than
per cent. ON its loans and dis
counts.
Coy. Dodge was evidently not inn
pressed with the reliability of these
statements of the cashier, and in his
message, delivered December, 1889,
he again recommended that such
legal steps be taken rs We necessary
~ ascertain tile true cor,.ltion Of the
bank II Mineral Point The COM
mittee To whom this part of the mos
sage was referred reported that this
was the only legal banking nstitu-
tion then in the territory, and that
from the best information in their
possession they Mere II the opinion
THAT is was III j soly ant aud safe con
dttion.

about one o'clock, Mrs. Grace Rich
ards died at her residence in this
village. The cause was the general
breaking down Incidental to old age,
she being at the time Of her death
eighty-two years old.
The deceased came to this country
from Cornwall, England, in 1915, set
Ting In Linden. At that time her
first husband, whose name was Ire
loar, was alive. lie died very short
ly afterwards, and about two years
snDsequent she married again to Mr..
Thomus Richards. About 1850 Mr.
Richards engaged in the merchantile
business IN Linden. and that BUSH
ness with one slight intermission
has been continuously carried on up
10 the present The deceased took
an active part in conducting same
up to about two or three years ago,
on until failing health caused her to
relinquish work. Since when her
son, r. r. Richards, has had sole
charge.
Owing to her relations to the pub
Tic the deceased was perhaps more
generally known than any other wo-
man Of this vicinity. She was q
kindly disposed woman, and ever
willing helper to those needing as
sistance. In the matter Of honesty
it was always calculated that She
favored those outside the counter
rather than herself
