MEMORIAL DAY,

MEMORIAL DAY.
The program for Memorial day was
we'll carried out. In the forenoon the
veterans decorated the graves of dead
comrades, who lie buried in the Gem.
eteries of this city.
AT one O'Clock p, M, the procession
formed in front Of the city hall, and,
led by the Mineral Point Band
marched to the city park, where the
exercises of the day were held. The
address was by Comrade Thomas
Luchsinger of Monroe, who, in his
young manhood was n resident OF
Mineral Point, and from this place
enlisted in the Union cause. He spoke
feelingly to his army comrades and to
all. He did not dwell on experiences
in camp or field, but spoke of the
purposes of the war and what had
been accomplished for the cause OF
freedom and the right. He pointed
out some of the dangers which
threaten us as q nation, and pleaded
for honest, upright citizenship. His
words came from the heart and touch
ed the hearts of those whom he ad-
dressed. He closed with the thought
that the perpetuity OF the nation de-
pends upon the industry and integrity
OF it's citizens, and declared that there
is no room in a republic for those
who are ashamed of honest toll; that
the only shame he ever felt was in
not performing we'll tasks which had
been assigned to him.
The following comrades participat-
ed in the Memorial day exercises:

A Mistake.

We are informed by Sheriff Caugh
man that the Columbia Evening
Record was in error when it stated
that he had made Eve arrest of per-
sons charged with being implicated
in the murder of John Meetze. The
truth is that there is only one per-
son in Jail; Bertha Leaphart, charged
with being an accessory to the MUIR
der. Minnie Wise, the wounded
negro woman, is ct home, near
Lorick's ferry, and has so far recov-
cred from the effects of her wounds
as to be able to walk about the
house. In the meantime the Sheriff
and other law officers are exhausting
every means at their command to
spprehend the murderers and bring
them to justice.

Cross the Country Club.

A party of about twenty-five ladies'
and gentlemen, members of Cross
Country Club, drove over from Co.
lumbia last Thursday and returned
to their homes in our sister city 'by
the light of the moon" The outing
WAS very much erj joyed by the party
and we trust that they will make it
convenient to come over again soon.
After an elegant supper furnished at
the Hammer Hotel the party erjoyed
themselves until time to start on the
return trip as each one thought best.
Among the gentlemen along with the
party We noticed Judge A. G. Haskell,
Ccl. Alex Guignard and Mr.. Guior.
We learn from the Columbia State
that Mr.. Edward S. Cardwell: one of
the PARTY, was seriously injured be-
fore leaving Columbia by being IN
horsed. At last accounts his condi.
ton was critical.

A New Public Road.

A petition is being circulated ask
ing the County Commissioners to
open up a public road leaving the
Augusta road near the Joe Little
place, cross the Two Notch road,
thence by Emanuel church to Ken
nerley's bridge, thence by Styx and
Poter6eld, crossing the S A. L rail-
read; thence by Shiloh church; by
W. n. Martins mill and to intersect
the State road at Savannah creek.
The opening up of this road will be
a great convenience to q number OF
people who have to come to the
county seat to transact public and
private business. We trust that the
Commissioners will favorably con-
slider this petition when it comes
before them officially.

Letter to E. Hilton.

Irene, S. G.
Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, N Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents
for we mustn't tell
names. We wanted 'em. Paine was
painting his big Colonial house.
Said it took 10 gallons of white for
the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said:
if you get it all on, no pay; if you
have any left, return it and pay for
the rest. Agreed.
he returned four gallons and took
the agency, four or five years ago.
h knows now that his old paint was
and is adulterated; that's why it took
ten gallons to equal six Of ours.
Go by the name; there is but one
name to go BY: Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York.
P. s. The Kaufman Drug Co., sells

Peach Blossoms.

Yesterday morning Prof. S S
Lindler, sent US from his home in
the Ella section, several peach twigs
on which were full blown flowers,
and in the afternoon Mr.. Otto Heig-
man brought to this Office twig of
peach flowers. This is rather early
in the season for this fruit to bloom.
The buds and flowers are in thick
clusters and from this fact We reason
that if no injury is sustained from
cold or other cause, the crop will
be unusually large. However,
gentlemen, we like your flowers very
well; now bring on the peaches.

New York.-A truce has been ar
ranged between the faculty Of Colum-

of their number for participating in
the Kingdom Gould hazing affair and
which had threatened to quit the uni

marily in the hands of the student
body. The conditions under which
this was arranged are:
The student board will prohibit haz-
ing in obnoxious form; second, fresh
men will be under the surveillance OF
the sophomores; any cases Of "fresh-

brought to the attention Of the board
and they will leave notice on the stu
dent that his actions have aroused the
