Geo. IL. Legate Post, Grand Army
of the Republie.
SPEECH BY JUDGE spENsLEY
A Large Attendance and an Inter
esting Program.

The nineteenth annual campfire of
George II. H. Post G. \. r., which
was held last Friday evening, was as
usual most successful. Supper was
served from five to seven o'clock, and
was fully up to the high standard for
which these occasions are proverbial.
There was bountiful supply of chick
en- pie. turkey, pork and beans, etc,
aud the large assembly present were
easily handled and we'll served by
the Woman's Relief Corps, who had
charge of the same.
After supper, all repaired to the
main hall, where the exercises of the
evening were held. These consisted
of the singing of war songs, led by
Comrades, Macs, Jacobs and others,
and some good selections by the male
quartet.
The address of the evening was by
Judge William Spensley of Galena,
and was pronounced by all a very
good one The Judge is most
pleasant speaker, and his address
teemed with patriotic sentiment. He
also manifested his familiarity with
many of the distinguished actors as
we'll as of the rank and file of those
engaged in the great conflict of the
civil war. He gave his impressions
and observations when visiting the
different battle fields of the South,
since the war, describing minutely
acts of bravery performed by our
troops against great odds. In fact
the whole address was full of eloquent
pathos and enthusiastic praise for the
achievements of our soldiers and the
glorious destiny of our country.

Monroe Weekly Times; The mail
order houses are working the rural
mail routes for all they are worth,
and country merchants are vigorously
protesting at the enormous trade the
catalogue houses are building up by
this means. The rural mail delivery
is hero to stay. Hustliug merchants
win continue to make the possible use
OF this means OF increasing their trade,
Grumbling will do no good, Protests
will fall on deaf ears, The only way
is TO meet the competition aud adver-
tiso leaders that will catch the husi-

more for their money 10y buying OF the

will cease sending their money away

for insurance, store rent and taxes.

To Judge
the Future.

Looking backward is good way to
Judge the future. 1t stands to reason
that when a man or a firm succeeds In
building up business that oyershad-
ows all competitors, there must be a
good reason for it. Success comes TO
those who deserve IL. Sometimes
"luck" favors an unworthy person,
but constant growth in the public's
confidence isn't luck.
We've been serving the public many
years in the grocery business. People
have indorsed our efforts to most
gratifying extent. They We made itpos-
sible for us to build up a magnificent
store and great business. We shall
always do as we have done. You can
look into our future by looking back
