Memorial Day,
No festive wreath we twine today,

No festive wreath we Irvine today,
No flowers to deck joyous bride;
With saddened hearts these flowers we lay
Ger those who for our country died.
Mother, bring flowers to strew this grave,
The iairest Of the early year;
Some mothers heart with grief is torn
Some son beloved is resting here
Daughter, to deck this lowly mound
Bring flowers this silent home to cheer
Tread lightly, this iS hallowed ground
Some patriot father slumbers here
A husband sleeps beneath this sod,
A brothers form lies Wondering near,
Sad hearts, the flowers you iondlY strew
In sympathy will wther here
And did the rebel chief say true;
ITO build the dome Of state secure
Requires the strong cement Of blood;
This only makes Its walls enduroP"
Then let our sacred union stand;
Ten thousand patriot sons have died,
On many battlefield have poured
Their life blood In no Stinted tide.
Patriot, above their sleeping dust
These fading brief memorials lay,
Bought by these generous. martyrs blood,
Your country lives for you to-day.

BANK TO RUN A SALOON.

position Of Church.

will Conduct Enterprise Despite Op-
position of Church.
Fittsburg, May 12.-The Farmers
Deposit National bank will dispense
liquor in spite of circumstances of the
First Presbyterian church, whose pas
tor, Rev. Maitland Alexander, said the
bank president is not proper person
to conduct a semirespectable liquor
saloon.
The bank was refused a license re-
Gently at the annual license court by
Judge Shaffer. The church people
were the principal remonstrants.
Around the corner from the new res
taurant built by the bank was saloon
owned by a man named Riddle. The
church did not demonstrate against
him and he got license He has sold
his license, stock and good will to the
Farmers bank for $4,000, and the
bank is connecting the Riddle saloon
with it's restaurant on Oliver avenue,
just across from the First Presbyterian
church.
The Farmers bank has applied to
the court to have Riddles license trans
ferred to the superintendent of the
bank building. The church people
are evidently beaten this year by the
bank, but the fight is to be continued
at the next license court
