SUCCESS ON THE ROAD.
1t Is Attained by an Illinois Girl Who
Travels for Two Lum-
Der Firms.

For nearly six years Miss Fanny Shan
been travelling as representative of two
Minneapolis lumber firms. Such a
lengthy engagement of itself shows
clearly that she has been a success in
her occupation. So far as is known she
is the only living woman who travels
for a lumber house. In the summer of
1892 Miss Shannon was visiting in Min
neapolis. She came in contact with
members of large lumber firms, and
they, being impressed with her good
sense and business ability. offered her
a place as travelling representative. She
consulted her parents and accepted the
position. Miss Shannon is a petite
blond. h is modest and unassuming.
but a good conversationalist. She
dresses modestly and carries very little
baggage. When necessary she travels
on freight trains and sometimes
makes" three or four towns a day, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
Nowhere is she treated with more
courtesy than by the crew of a freight
train.
Miss Shannon's grandfather was the
late Judge T.. j. Shannon, the first man
to establish a bank in Mount Carmel.
Her father is well known in Illinois
masonic circles. having been grand
high priest of the Royal Arch Masons OF
this state.

A large plumber of our citizens went
TO Gilt Edge to celebrate the day and

bf the day. Cliff Deyo recited an
original poem, F. A. Barnes read the
declaration of independence and the
Lewistown band rendered some pa
Eriotic airs. Horse racing, foot ac-

afternoon attractions. The Lewis
Town nine won the ball game by a

the weather was superb. The proc, ssion
which took Its way to the cemetery was
much larger than usual. The existence
of war gave added interest to the pro-

day. The old veterans though fewer in
numbers throughout the county, were
drawn together on this occasion by the
exciting events Of the present reviving
old recollectlonF and many of them were
