The walls and ceiling in the office of
our popular hotel, the Central House,
are undergoing fancy treatment this
week at the hands of Chas. F. Maitland,
artistic advertiser and wall decorator of
Chicago. He is assisted by George
LaBreche. The papering is novel,
somewhat similar to frescoeing, and is
known as "Pacrusta" work. The job is
not yet completed, but its present APP
pearance indicates that the Central
House is to have very neat and pretty
Office interior. Some catchy advertising
ideas are also supplemented in this work
by Mr. Maitland.

A wisely conducted newspaper is like
a banquet, says an exchange. Every
thing is served up with view to variety.
Help yourself to what you want and do
not condemn the entire spread because
pickles and onions may be included.
If you do not relish them somebody
else may find them palatable. Be gem
erous and broad enough to select grace
fully such reading matter from news
papers as will be agreeable to your
mental taste. You, as an individual are
not compelled to swallow everything.
We do not all think alike on every sub
ject and it is good thing, as it makes
more variety, and variety is the spice
of existence"

The sentiment here has been cor
roborative of that expressed in the

then the prisoners should have their
freedom. If they have told the truth
then the prisoners should receive their

Lord and Emery are back in the
county Jail awaiting a third trial. The
jury III Marathon county stood six
for conviction and six for acQuit-
tai when they went into the Jury
room and they ended up that way after
being out over forty hours. According
to Clerk of Court W. J. Shea, who has
carefully figured all bills of cost, the
expenses of former trials in this case
were S60l0.36. 1t is estimated
that the expense at Wausau will aggre-
gate about $4,000, making a total ex-
penditure to date something more than
$4,000. The disagreement of the jury
last Friday makes another trial neces-
sary, and the attorneys for the defense,
as soon as the jury was discharged,
addressed the Court urging retrial
for their clients Immediately or as soon
as possible, at this term of the court.
1t was decided TO have a retrial of the
case at Wausau commencing January
18th, 1897. But we are informed by an
attorney of the prosecution that it is
very improbable that another hearing
will be reached during this term of the
Marathon county court.

THE REBELS ARE COMINGi
They will Capture Bolivar
September 24th.

For, reasons satisfactory, the date
of the Confederate Reunion fo1
Hardeman County has been changed
from August 26th to September "A.
On the latter date, the Johnnie
Rebs will have charge of the keys
of the city of Bolivar. For years
and years the old soldiers have lon
ged for just such an opportunity,
and now that the desired end is in
sight they propose to make it lively.
They will assemble from the hills of
Men airy and Chester on the east to
Fayette's territory on the west,
from Madison's border on the north
to Mississippi's line on the south.
They are coming, and they are COM
ing in force. They will bring their
families and their families friends
in fact, this Reunion is going to
be gigantic success. The younger
generation, who has grown up since
the war,i interested in the cause, and
will do everything possible to make
it pleasant for the old soldiers. One
of the attractive features of the day
will be the musical program. Mrs.
Mary Tate Moore, of Bolivar, will
have charge of this department.
Through her courtesy, the BULLE-
TIN is enabled in advance to publish
the songs that will be rendered on
that occasion. Mrs. Moore has a
we'll trained choir, but she invites
everybody who attends the Reunion
to take part in the rendition of the
following we'll known Southern
songs. The last song, Good be with
you till we meet again." will be rem
dered as a benediction.

CHORUS.

Many are the hearts that are weary
tonight,
Wishing for the war to cease;
Many are the hearts looking for the
right,
To see the dawn of peace.
We've been tenting tonight on the
old camp ground,
Thinking of days gone by,
Of the loved ones at home that gave
us the land,
And the tear that said ''good bye. .
-Cho.
We are tired of war on the old
camp ground,
Many are dead and gone,
OF the brave and true who've left
their homes.
Others been wounded lone. -Cho.
We've been fighting to-day on the
old camp ground,
Many are lying near;
Some are dead and some are dying,
Many are IN tears. -Cho.
Tenting tonight, tenting tonight,
Tenting on the old camp ground;
Dying tonight, dying tonight,
Dying on the old camp ground.
