The finest creamery butter in the
city at Bailey's. DIV
Judge Gurdin Gillett had pecu
liar experience recently. He had
climbed into tree in his yard to trim
the branches and while up in the tree
an assistant cut away the lower
branches. Mr.. Gillett did not notice
this, and in climbing down he found
himself dangling by the lower limb
with no support for his feet and fifteen
feet from the ground. He called for
assistance, and Otto Beyersdorfer
came to his aid, helping him to the
ground. The judge can tell of the sem
sation caused by hanging between sky
and air.
The report of Mrs. c. P. Barnes,
public librarian, for the month of May
shows that the interest in that institu-
ton is still on the increase, and that its
popularity grows with the length of its
life. There were over 100 more books
drawn out for that month than for the
previous one, the total being 1923.
There was one holiday in the month.
Without it there would undoubtedly
have been over 1000 taken out. Of the
number drawn 81 per cent. were fc-
ton and Ii per cent. of all other kinds.
This shows ] per cent. drop in fiction,
which is considered in library circles a
fine showing, considering the short
time the library has been in existence.
There has also been quite a good in
crease in the number of borrowers, the
number now being Sill. New books to
the number of about 200 have been
placed on the shelves, and more are on
the way here.
-Bailey's coffee is the peoples ideal
in the coffee line. Try it. You will
use no other. DIV
Fred S. Lowell Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic, desires to make
this public expression of its sense of
obligation to all good citizens who
helped in the various exercises of Me-
mortal day. Where all were so thor
ougly in sympathy with the spirit and
solemnities of the occasion, it seems
invidious to mention those whose gen
erOus assistance, though more conspic-
uous than that of others, was not
prompted by greater respect for the
old soldier, living or dead. 1t seems
fitting, however, to speak words of ad-
miration for the Windsor band, which,
without compensation, furnished such
inspiring music for the parade. Nor
should the exercises conducted by the
public schools, so entertaining and SO
replete with lessons of patriotism, be
passed without words of praise. 1t is
desired also to thank those who by
able assistance, and liberal patronage,
made the evening entertainment at the
opera house pronounced success, in
the generous replenishment of the treas
ury of the Post. Surely the spirit of
patriotism and friendliness to the old
soldier pervaded the air on Memorial
day. By ORDER OF THE POST.
The last issue of the Gazette con
tanned an article scoring District At
torney Buckmaster for his remarks
made at the Congregational church on
Sunday evening. The criticism is un-
Just and uncalled for. Mr.. Buckmaster
made no attack upon the mayor nor
upon any one. He was asked to sug-
gest means of enforcing the law in favor
Of Sunday closing of saloons and he
spoke of the conditions as they exist,
only briefly to his converse
lion with the mayor on the subject.
There was nothing whatever in his re-
marks to call forth the attack made
upon him by the Gazette. The better
class of citizens, irrespective of church
Or party, desire the enforcement of the
laws, which the officers of the city and
county have taken an oath to support,
and which the saloon keepers have
aiken an oath to observe. Mr.. Buck
master, in his remarks, referred to
hese conditions, such as the difficulty
If obtaining evidence and impartial
uries, and suggested that violations of
he city ordinances be prosecuted be-
ore the city council to the forfeiture Of
licenses. He also called attention to
he fact that no local law could be en-
orced unless backed by the sentiment
If the community, and that an organi-
;ation of citizens for this purpose might
,e helpful for this reason.
