LOCAL COMMENT.

Instead of going to the courts to fight
and effects of the collapse of the street
car company's barn have got together
and will settle, both sides yield
ing few points. This way was cheap
er than lawsuits.
Memorial Day, at least in MARSHALL
town, is coming to mean much to others
than the veterans and their families.
This year young and old, rich and poor,
liocked to the beautiful cemetery laden
with flowers, and few We're the graves
in the burying ground that did not con-
tain some floral token to indicate that
the living members of the broken family
circle still mourned the departed.
