Scene at Cemetery

A dlsgraceful scene occurred Sun

than any billed OWL could possibly
get when the procession reached the

One of them had stumbled down
town through the muddy fields, and
was arrested by the marshal Anoth-

soldiers of Boone county, held its
annual reunion at Bellelonte last
Friday and Saturday; and especially
on Saturday was favored by very

town to the beautiful grove Sur

the comfort of the crowd already

gram was inaugurated by the Band
rendering an extended melley, in
Guiding the much loved airs of the

the old soldiers treasured memories

Gen. H, L. Routh, commander of
the camp, then introduced DR..

Headquarters at Harrison.
The Supervisor of the Ozark For
est Reserve Will Have Offices
Here.

ID. Fitton, Government Supervi-
Sor of the Ozark Forest Reserve
was IN town Thursday arranging for
the establishment in Harrison of the
Offices and headquarters of the
Reserve.
He will have rooms in our Govern
ment building, and will be assisted
by clerical force of at least two.
The ten Rangers who will attend to
the field service, will report here
every ten days, and it is likely that
Mr.. Ftton as well as his full force
will become permanent residents of
Harrison.
The Ozark Reserve includes a
round million acres of land, run-
ming with the Boston Mountain
range, in the countiee of Newton,
Johnson, Pope, Searcy, Van Buren,
and Stone, as described at length
in recent issue of the TIMES.
The government policyin regard to
these lands is much. more liberal
than many have supposed; matured
timber will be sold from time to time
by the Department, and as fast as it
can be proved that the land is more
valuable for agriculture it will be re-
leased for homesteading. The main
purpose OF the system is to preserve
the timber OF the country from ruth.

at $4,000 per mile. and the Iron

THE MEN WHO WORE THE GREY"
The following poem was taken by
Mrs b, srump as the basis of the
beautiful tribute read at the re
union:
They are passing in their glory,
Yet they'll live in deathless story,
Aye, until the years are hoary,
And their past is far away.
BY the world their deeds are spoken,
Aud their fame is glory's token
For their ranks were never broken,
Those old men who wore the grey.
can see their eamp-ire's qriver,
BY the fair and cry stall river.
| can see them charging ever
Where the lights and shadows play.
Where their battle banner Haunted,
Brave, heroic, anG undauuted,
In the wood by memory haunted,
Stood the men who wore the grey.
can see our Banner streaming,
In the sunsets glorious cleaning,
(Gou may think that | am dreaming
OF past that's far away
But the storms of battle tore it,
And the breezes bravelY bore it
Men of honor fell before it,
From the ranks who wore the grey.
o! how grand was their formation
When they fought to free nation;
Fate was but their compensation,
Weak to-day is their array.
They are crossing to the others,
Who have crossed, their hero brothers,
Sons of gentle-hearted mothers,
The boys who wore the gray.
Like the enemy who met them,
They have many cares to fret them,
But the world will not forget them,
Whilst among us yet they stay,
Weave for them wreath of roses,
Which the morning sun discloses,
See that it in love reposes
On the men who wore the grey.
Where their comrades now are sleeping
Angel guarded vines are creeping,
And the rivers outward leaping,
Seek the sea that's far away.
They were mustered in their glory,
Meath the pine and cypress hoary,
Now, remnant tells the story
OF the men who wore the grey.

Following the proposition of the

a railroad from Harrison to Berg
man for bonus of $4,000 as set
forth in last weeks TIMES, a COM
mittee of Harrison's business men
offered the representative, W, A.

bonus of $4,000, This offer Mr.
Squires says he positively cannot
accept; but he has called into con-
sultation a well known railroad
contractor, NJ. X. Brigance, Of
Fort Worth, Texas, who will arrive
here today with a civil engineer, and
after a careful reconnaissance of the
line final proposition will be sub
mitted which Mr. Squires feels sure
our people cannot afford to refuse,
