~HE announcement of exercises on the 18th of January to ob- serve the one hundredth birth


 day anniversary of General Robert F. Lee makes the American civil war seem almost like ancient his tory to the generation now growing up. General Lee. however, was one of the oldest leaders on either side of that conflict He was sixteen years the senior of General Grant. Stone wall Jackson, his own great lieutenant and next to Lee the most beloved of southern generals, was seventeen years his junior.
 General Lee. not alone by virtue of his years and his gray hairs, but also by reason of his solicitude and kindli- ness, was father to the southern forces. History. wherever written, re- cords Robert Edward Lee as the per feet flower of southern chivalry. Gen. erals who opposed him ill battle have been glad to pay tribute to his knight ly honor. his unassuming dignity and his simple manliness; also they have agreed with European and American authorities in assigning him to place among the greatest soldiers in history. General Lee was born at Stratford, Westmoreland county, Va, Jan. 10, 1907. He entered West Point in 1925 and was graduated second in his class

A little later he became one of the five full generals of the Confederacy and finally commander in chief of all the southern forces. In the fall of 1863 he became president of Washiu ,ton college, now Washington and La university, at Lexington Va. remaining in that position until his death Oct 12 1870.
 Lee was always a Virginian. He never lived anywhere else except when absent necessarily on military duty His lifelong devotion to his native nate was the strongest motive in his

next call for the annual meeting, a
notice be inserted that the question of
changing the date OF the annual meet
ing and the election OF the board OF
directors be changed from March Goth
to some time in January following the
holding of the annual fair: this would

WEAK STOMACH CAUSES SICKNESS
Different symptoms That Result from
Indigestion. How to Cure by
STRENGTHENING the Stomach.

II you have ever suffered with a
weak stomach you must realize that
the digestive system is TO the body
what the foundation is to the house
the base of support and strength.
Whatever hurts your stomach or
lessons its power. hurts all other parts
of the body and impairs their powers.
If the stomach is weak and distressed,
one organ after another will be in
volved until the heart, kidneys and
liver are all distressed.
Get the stomach right and health
will naturally come to the other or
gans. This explains why a good many
people who have doctored for years
for diseases. of the heart, kidneys or
liver, have at last been cured by MI
o-na stomach tablets. They found to
their astonishment and happiness that
when the weak stomach was strength
ened. their health returned, the heart
became regular the torpid liverr active
and the kidneys healthy.
Do not think we claim M-o-na is a
"cure-all." Ii is not. 1t is a spe-
cifc for ali diseases OF the stomach.
and when it strengthens the stomach
nd cures indigestion. YOU will soon b

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever NAV be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-

attention to this subject 1t mas, IN

secretary's Report.

To the Board of Directors and Stock
holders OF the Fremont County Fair
Association:
The fair of 1906 has come and gone
and we are again brought together
for the annual meeting of 1907. The
fir OF 1906 was in every way sue
cess. The attendance was everything
that we could desire: while the first
day shows a slight decrease over the
proceeding year, the decrease was
more than made up on the two sue
ceeding days. On Fruit Day the at
tendance was all that could be han
died and. in my Judgment, we have
reached the maximum number that we
can accommodate with our present
facilities.
The only dissatisfaction that oc-
CURED during the three days OF the
fair was the limited accommodations
OF the grand stand; 1T was necessary
on each day OF the fair to stop selling
tickets on account OF the very crowd
ed condition. AS / stated before, II is
useless to attempt to induce larger
attendance unless we increase our
facilities for handling them: II is my
earnest wish. and that OF each mem
Der OF the board OF directors, that we
can in the near future purchase a
suitable site and begin the erection of
permanent buildings that we may
properly accommodate the increasing
attendance Of our annual fair. es-
pec.aiIy so. as It is proving such q
popular success as our treasurer's re-
port viii show.
The good results accomplished by
our annual fair is brought TO every
Intelligent person too clearly TO re-
uulre lengthy statement: II comes
ut a time when the hard summer work
of the fruit grower and farmer is
drawing TO a close, and gives us some
thing to look forward to and work for.
The fruit grower, cattleman. mer-
chants, and all go there and see the
results produced by this wonderful
community: the visitors from beyond
the limits of Fremont county have an
opportunity OF seeing the resources OF
our county which in the end reverts
to the benefits of our own citizens.

Pennsy Forms Merger.

Philadelphia, July 31.-In accord

to be the policy of the Pennsylvania
railroad to merge the various indi-
dividual lines in which it owns a con-

the Philadelphia, Baltimore & Wash

the lines of the Baltimore, Cnesa-
peake & Atlantic, the Delaware rail
road and the Delaware, Maryland &
Virginia. Later the stockholders OF
the merged companies will vote on
the proposition, which it is expected
will be ratified without opposition.

public that the injunction was dis.

had asked for an Injunction against
Mrs. L. C. Klasner, preventing her
from getting any water out of the
Hondo river for her ranch above Pi-
cacho. The order for a temporary in.
junction stopped her from taking any
water even while the suit was pend

which enough water to protect the
Klasner orchard and the growing
crops was secured. The case comes

Frelute Car POOL .Eails

Cniezgo, July 3E-With the with
drawal today Of the Chicago & Al
ton railway, originally one of the
strongest advocates of the scheme,
the American Railway Clearing
house, which for nearly nine months
has been attempting to form a pool
of all the freight cars of the country,
is admittedly in the last stages of dis
solution. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul has already withdrawn
from the pool, and many other of the
leading roads, both of the West and
the East, have announced their in
tention of abandoning the project.
The principal object of the clear
ing house and the only excuse for Its
maintenance was to insure eacn
road having on its own rails at all
times the exact number of cars
owned by it. In attempting to &C
compHsh this organization has mis-
| erably failed, chiefly because it had
no power to penalize the roads fol
disobeying it's orders beyond the es
tablished rate of daily rental. Whez
| all roads were short of cars no roac
would give up any of them wheI
told to do so by the pool manage
ment.
III project of having the clearing
house keep a eco of the inter
change of all cars and collect thu
rental due each road has failed be
cause all the big companies have n
sisted on keeping their wi record
of their cars and making the collec
lions due them.
