The new flag recently purchased by
Russell Post was displayed at half
mast, on Thursday of last week, out
of respect to Grover Cleveland,
whose death occurred on the preced-
ing day. This flag is ten by eighteen
feet in size and in its makeup, antici
pated by few days the coming
of events AS it had, the new arrange
ment of stars and forty six in num-
Der, the design and number of stars
which will not be officially recognized
until July 9TH. The forty sixth star
is added on account of the admission
of Oklahoma. 1t seems that stars are
not added to the flag at the time that
state is admitted but on the first
Fourth of July after that date.
