BUSINESS CHANGE
Thomas c. Buckley Is Now Sole Pro
prietor Of the Peoples Store.

The announcement Of the dissolution
of the partnership between Harry F..
Goodrich and Thomas c. Buckley. pro-
prietors of the Peoples Store. is of
much interest to the Augusta public
and comes as something of surprise.
for though there have been rumOrs of
the change in the business. nothing
definite has been known until the notice
in yesterdays Journal. The partnership
was formed in September. 1888. and
business began in the store under the
Cony House. where they remained I'M
til Friday. March 10. 1899. when they
opened the present Peoples Store. The
opening was with considerable cere-
mony. Dennis orchestra being present
and rendering a delightful concert
which was greatly enjoyed by those
present.
Since that time the store has been
one OF the busy places Of Water street
and has always enjoyed a good patron

people In every way the business has
constantly grown, until now it is one
of the largest in the city. BY the change

went on to tell how that during the
endemic which killed off so many
horses in 1877, he was in Boston. The
South Boston horse railroad company
suffered with the rest, and had hard
work to get horses enough to keep their
cars moving. but they had to run
car over the line once in "a hours, in or
der to keep their charter, so there was
no alternative. At last came a morn
ing when there was not horse to be
had. for love or money. The car had
to go out, however, and at last some
brilliant intellect conceived the idea OF
using men on the car instead of horses.
A long rope was hitched double to the
cross bar, so that it made two drag
ropes. and cross pieces were attached
to the rope at intervals. Two men
caught hold of each cross piece, there
being 10 men in ALL and in this way
they left the barn at South Boston,
with the car in tow. II was slow work.
but the r,en hung to their job, and
eventually made the rounds. and got
back to the car barn. When the car
arrived in Boston, it was photographed,
with the men on the drag rope. and 1t
is one of these photographs that Mr.
Ward has at his home.

The Reading and Rest Rooms.

There have been so many inquiries
lately in regard to the finances and
plans OF the Public Reading and
Rest Rooms that it seems advisable
for me to make public statement
concerning the matter. The money,
$143. so, received for giving up our
former quarters for the balance of
the year, is still intact and will re-
main so until l am sure of its being
judiciously used in improving the
property we now occupy.
Forty-one of the business men
and women of River Falls have been
asked by letter to contribute to-
wards this work. So far no re-
spouse has been made. l believe
it is, generally understood that l
must follow up these letters with
personal interviews. I'm sorry to
say this will be impossible. In
thinking about it so much the idea
has become SO repulsive to me that,
much as l would appreciate your
help in this work, / cannot force
myself to ask it again.
1t was my intention to veneer
these buildings with brick, remodel
some of the windows and doors and
fix the lawn with means contributed
this summer by the citizens of River
Falls. There is still ample time to
plan for and complete this work be-
fore fall if you are pleased to pro-
vide the wherewith. If you are
otherwise minded my work will con-
tinue just the same but necessarily
much slower. The rooms will be
made just as comfortable and at
tractive as l can possibly make
them. No pains will be spared to
make the friends from the country
feel that this is their home while in
town. And / trust the young peo-
pie will always feel their welcome
here. Each and everyone of us
have been given certain work to
perform, either for ourselves or for
others. We all have unlimited
means at our disposal to work with,
if we could but possess wisdom to
discern and correctly use them. If
you do not offer to share this under
taking with me I shall believe you
want to but do not see your way
clear to do it; and that you believe
it will be accomplished without
your assistance.
Other cities are paying for these
advantages. An offer, with salary,
came to me lately for work similar
to this in another town. 1t was re-
fused because l love this place and
its people and believe this is my
corner" Yours respectfully,
ALICE L. HEMENWAY.

der very favorable conditions.
Heavy rains had fallen for two
days previous but the 26th was fair
and warm while the ground was so
wet the farmers could not work the
land and so had favorable oppor-
tunity to come in and see the show.
The circus and menagerie were ex-
cellent. The street parade was one
of the neatest and prettiest ever
seen here. The performances in the
big tent were exceptionally meritori-
Gus. There were athletes and aero
bats of wonderful ability, and there
were no fakes attendant upon the
show. 1t was clean, first-class
entertainment.

Grafton, ILL.,, May %, 1904.
Editor JOURNAL:
AS many of your
readers are aware of my visit here l
thought few lines from us would
be of interest to some of them. AT
ter disposing of Mr.. Dill's sheep in
Chicago l proceeded on my journey,
arriving here May II. l found my
uncle J. r. Steten, the only one of
my eight uncles living, and as many
aunts, but the number of our cous-
ms is legion. 1t is a great privilege
and comfort to be permitted to have
lived to look into their faces, and to
see again the places that were SO
familiar to me fifty odd years ago.
The season here is unusually
backward. The farmers have
not yet finished planting corn, a
product which constitutes the prin-
cipal crop of the farms here. Win
ter wheat is beginning to head out
and promises a fair crop. Cattle
are not raised so extensively here as
further north and east in the state,
but hogs are raised without number.
This is also a great fruit section of
the state. Here large quantities of
apples, peaches, pears, cherries, and
small fruits are produced. Anotice-
able feature of the country is the
prevalence of one-story houses and
open wells with the cold Oaken
Bucket" still hanging therein. One
of the places of special interest here
is the Plaza Chatauqua Assembly"
grounds, situated two miles and a
half below Grafton in a shady and
picturesque ravine on the banks of
the Father of Waters" Here are
many cottages already built and
many more under construction and
the Association is building an ar
tifcial bathing pool for the accom-
mediation of the public. A large
hostelry that will accommodate $50

Memorial Day.

day OF sacred and sublime portent
Day set apart to consecrate anew
Our love for liberty and those who spent
Their blood upon her affairs; staunch and true
Bring here the wreaths of laurel and of myrrh
The holly crown and tender sprig OF rue;
With flowers interspersed to show the love-
And bathed in tears like pearls of crystal dew
o, Veterans, that stand upon the ground
Where sleep your comrades OF the troubled
years,
When firm and loyal hearts togeth bound.
Withstood wars shocks and felt no craven
fear.
For you the days are wearing on apace
For these, your brethren. time at last stands
STILL
They rest in peace, to wait the coming day,
That once again their loyal ranks shall till.
We honor thee, in honoring thus the dead;
Those who but sleep, in slumber sweet, pro-
found,
And every token that we place today
Upon their graves, to thine honor doth re.
dound.
Dear friends assembled on this sacred spot,
To place thine f'rings to the loved and lost,
Let these, our heroes, never be forgot;
Let Liberty be dearer; dearer for the cost.
AS time rolls on, changing its course for naught,
Bringing this solemn day within its train,
0 may the lessons by these heroes taught,
In blood and suffering, be not in vain.
God keep our land in honor and in truth
Her stripes and stars forever clear and bright,
Let Freedoms lessons lead her growing youth
In peace or war, to labor for the right.
Laura L. Thomas.
