PRESS COMMENT.
In Memoriam,

One of the most touching scenes of
Memorial day was the act of the
veterans of Omaha, Neb., who loaded a
boat with flowers and set it afoat upon
the Missouri river. The boat bore in.
structions to all who discovered it
lodged at any point to send it on it's
way to the Mississippi and the Gulf, as a
token of loving remembrance for the
dead sailor boys who gave their lives for
the country on the river and the sea.
The boat may never reach its destina-
ton, but the act that launched it is as
fragrant as its wealth of flowers Rut-

hundred years ago they say
Old 1njun Joseph came that way,
And when he saw this little lake
He camped his wife and drove a stake
And ran his lines around the pond,
And gave the government bond,
For what today, no one would take
For any lot around the lake.
Since then century has flown,
And all the region around has grown
To be the summers fine resort.
And influential men have bought
The land, until it's vain to look
For lots, unless you buy of Cook.
Around the lake of "Injun Joe"
My friend invited me to go,
And as we rode, he asked me why
The owners priced their lots so high?
He called them high, thought them low
For situation don't you know
Ofland or buildings, makes the worth,
And there's no spot on Gods green earth
That gives the heart warmer thrill
Than Joseph's Lake at West Danville.
