Last Tuesday was Decoration Day

Last Tuesday was Decoration Day
with the Knights of Pythias, but owing
TO the absence of some of the MEM
bers aud the non-attendance of others
the ceremonies were postponed until
next Sunday week. This custom of dec
Grating the graves Of our Pythian
dead is very appropriate and effective
one, showing not only that brotherly
feeling which should be in every
breast, but revealing the fact that our
departed brothers still live in memory
and spirit with US, though not in
form. The public generally are invit-
ed 10 attend these ceremonies, and
those having loved ones in the silent
city, although not members of the X.
of r., can participate in the exercises
by decorating their graves.
Gone is the form that once We loved to
greet,
Deep in each silent grave forever laid;
sic sweet,
The PythIan sleeps in nights eternal
shade.
But far beyond the graves cold, marbled
stone,
The gates of some fair city open wide;
IT'S there the Savior smiles upon His
throne,
He who for mans transgression meekly
died.

elected principal of the public school
again and Misses Maud Taylor and
Bessie Bell assistants. This action Of
the board meets with general appro-
baton. We have an excellent corps
of teachers, who enjoy the confidence
both of the pupils and parents, which
goes long way towards making the
school success Confidence in and
respect for the teacher makes the
child all the better student.

The Police Jury, at a special meet
ing adopted a Charlton ordinance last
Tuesday, ordering all persons losing
stock with this disease, to burn them
within three hours after death, and
making the penalty fine or imprison-
ment for its non observance. This is .
wise step, for it will require every pre-
caution to stop the disease. which is
the most malignant we have had here
in years.

AS the editor sits in his chair at the
window, the soft summer breeze often
watts unto his ears tales of love and
romance, little happenings that occur
among the young folks, such as used
to bappcu in his young days before
his hair became gray with the SHOWS
of some twenty odd winters. Some
times the birds carol the sentimental
doings of the day, aud sometimes the
editor overbears some pretty lassie
telling her secret TO her chum as they
walk along Lake street. But however
this may be, news comes TO our ears
of sad mistake made by dusky
Ethiopian boy several days ago, in
which the "oiher fellows" cake was
all dough. 1t seems that q young
lady had made most delicious cake
for one Of our handsome Jimmies aud
had penncd him neat little note,
mingling with the flavor Of the cake
that rapturous feeling of young
emotion which no doubt prompted its
baking. AT the same time she wrote
a note 10 another fascinating Johnnie
and delivered them all to the above
named dnsky Ethiopian to be delivered
to these young gentlemen. But alas !!
until the Ethiopian can change bis
skin, such mistakes will happen. ln-
stead of delivering the cake with the
right note, the brunette descendant
OF Ethiopia took the cake TO the
wrong fellow, who ate it without ever
feeling the slightest pain from the
mistake, while the other fellow got
his note but the cake he looked for
never came.
Alas for maiden. alas for boy.
There is no bliss tree from alloy;
For cen cake can play its part
In bringing sorrow to the heart.

Prof Ramsey has met with re-
markable success in selling the Emer-
son piano in Providence. II is fine
instrument aud yields most delight
full music to the touch. A good piano
IS an ornament which should be in
every house, If possible.
How sweet the strains of music steal
Across the human breast;
They make the weary pilgrim feel
AS If he fain would rest
Rest for while from care and strife,
From all the daily toll Of life,
Rest long enough to feel again
Some soft nepenthe in each strain,
And listening to Its cadence. swear
Was never sound so sweet to hear.

One of our friends, whoever he may

sent us the following bit of news the

The adamantine task OF getting out
this issue of the Banner-Democrat has
devolved upon the Protein, whose
prolific Faber has been for some time
languishing in obscurity and whose
optics have been pouring over those
deep aud intricate problems of tho law,
grand, gloomy and peculiar. We hope
however, that this notice is needless;
and that between the lines the readers
can detect the trace of the writer's
peculiar style, which will at once in
troduce him again to the public as no
other than the distinguished and
talented young gentleman, who some
years ago guided the destinies of the
Carroll Banner, when he was younger
and full of blood aud onions.

Rec HEIGHTS.

The entertainment Friday evening
was a credit to teacher and scholars.
The big boys did themselves proud
in tableaux OF Washington. and his
generals. They were dressed in regi-
mentals, and took turn in wearing
grandfather Willett's sword. Not
grandfather &. c. but a more ancient
ancestor.) The cutest thing OF the
evening was little Hugh Gardner
with his little Ratchet and cherry
tree. This tableau brought down
the house.
Mr.. Kellogg hitched "Javelot" Sat
urday in front of GARDENERS store.
He became frightened and breaking
his halter circled around till he
broke loose from the roadcart, which
was damaged considerable.
Sunday morning Miss Fannie Kel-
logg and her brother Frank drove
up to the parsonage to take Mrs.
Fisk to Sunday school. A piece OF
paper blowing about frightened the
horses, and whlrling around they
started to run, the occupants lost no
time in jumping out OF the carriage,
which was badly damaged before the
horses We're caught. Query: Are the
: kellogg's trying to get up 4 corner
on runaways?
The {. L. society win hold a social
Friday evening at Rev. p. B. Fisk's.
We regret to say that Mrs. Chas.
lngelhart of Spring Hills is seriously
Ill with typhoid Observation-Disclosures

mother may be speedily restored to

If the western farmer could depend
upon raising every year as good
crops as in 1891, he would be a very
much-to-be-envied-man. Buthec can't
depend upon doing this. And cOnse-
quently he is not always tObeenvied.
All this gives point to the state
ment that for real downright salts
faction, there's nothing like an irri-
gated farm-such for instance, asyOu
will find in Morgan county, Colora-
do.

ing in nOn-irrigated districts areslow
to believe the reports OF the enor
