Memorial Day at Hickory.

Never in the history of Eli Berlin Post
were they surrounded by so large and
patriotic an assembly as greeted them on
Saturday last. The outdoor service was
greatly interfered with by rain, which
was great disappointment to the large
gathering, but did not wash away the
real patriotism of the Sunday school,
which stood nobly by the old boys at the
cemetery. At eleven a. IN. after the ser.
vices in the cemetery, all marched to the
X. o. T. NJ. hall where, amid the melo-
dies of the choir and music by the Post
Martial Band, all felt at home. Rev. w.
E. Davis of West Hickory was the orator
of the day. He was among his friends
and was filled with holy patriotic fire.
His address was never eXcelled in Hick-
ory and as he referred to the trying days
of lS6l5 his beautiful power of oratory
moved the vast assembly to heartfelt
amens. AS a Post we thank our able
speaker. We thank our singers and the
martial band for their assistance and to
all present we thank you for your pres
ence and good will. May we all ever
realize that we have the grandest nation
and people on Gods green earth.

Reading Clubs Annual Banquet.

The annual banquet of the Tionests
Reading Club was held in the hall of the
Woman's Relief Corps last Wednesday
evening, and proved to be the social func-
tion OF the season. The clubs guests in
cluded the husbands of the members
and several invited guests, in all about
fifty, who enjoyed the pretty occasion.
The banquet hall was prettily decorated
with potted plants, domestic and wild
flowers, flags and bunting, and with the
handsome gowns worn by the handsomer
wives and sweethearts gave the affair a
setting of unsurpassed beauty and ele-
gance. Interesting conversation cards
were distributed which covered wide
range of topics, upon each ofwhich a two
minute conversation or discussion was
allowed, the ladies advancing at each tap
of the bell and TAXI up the next topic
with their new partners. Meanwhile each
gentleman was given pretty little apron,
hem the garment while his lady friend
engaged him in conversation on the lines
laid down on the cards. This grotesque
feature was amusing almost to the point
of righteousness, but the men folk in all
seriousness worked dexterously at their
sewing and many had completed the job
when the last tap of the bell was sounded,
aud the garments were collected and in-
spected by committee for the purpose of
determining who had won the prize,
pretty boutonniere of tulips and wild
flowers. That there was much disap-
pointment at the committees decision we
must frankly admit, and rank favoritsm
was charged when the choice fell to Prof.
Mitchell, principal of the summer nor
NAL, 1t was learned that the judges were
influenced in their decision largely by
the knowledge that the modest Professor
could make the best speech ofacceptance,
and not by any merit ofhis sewing ability.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the NJ. f.
church did the catering, and they were
highly complimented upon the quality of
the viands and the elegance with which
they were served.
Mrs. James d. Davis, who has so grace.
fully presided over the clubs affairs dur
ing the past year, had general supervis-
ion ofthe banquet on this occasion, and
was ably assisted by Mrs. Suie May
Sharpe in making the function the
pleasing success that il was
The clubs honor guests from out of
own were Mrs. j. A. Turner of West
Hickory and Mrs. W. j. Bleakley of
franklin.

MEANWHILE business men are making
a very vigorous and effective kick before
the Interstate Commerce commission in
an attempt to get fair rates from various

the country against the extortion, damage
to property deals and trust methods
which enable these companies to victim

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has. proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoontul. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials.

Roads to San Francisco is a high testi-
monial not only to them, but to all young
Americans.

Memorial Day.

Although the rain was almost incesssnt
during Memorial Day the program as
adopted by the Post aud Corps ofTionests
was fully carried out with a fairly good
crowd in attendance. Owing to a heavy
down pour shortly after one o'clock the
order was reversed and the exercises at
the court house were first on the list.
Rev. w. o. Calhoun made the set speech
of the day, and did it so we'll that we are
inclined to think he will be in demand on
future occasions of similar nature. A
beautiful Memorial tribute was read by
Miss Nancy G. Morrow, of Tidioute, al
ways fsvorite with Tionests audience,
and she was highly compllmented by
many on this particular occasion. After
these exercises, a delegation of veterans
and friends marched to Riverside ceme-
terry, where the beautiful ritual of the G.
A. r. was fully carried out and the graves
of the fallen heroes were bedecked with
choice flowers. True to their colors the
ladies of the Relief Corps furnished
splendid dinner to the veterans and their
wives and friends at the noon hour. Had
the day been more propitious the attend
ance would have been very much larger,
but as it was there was no lack ofenthusi-
asm among the comrades. The Myers
martial band of Marienville furnished
the musical inspiration and they pleased
everybody in the willingness which they
displayed in keeping the good fife and
drum busy. The Sabbath schools and
flower committees attended well to their
part and an abundance of springs love-
liest flowers were provided. Let us hope
the weather man will do better at another
season.

A SON of Gen. Sherman writes that the
general, on September II, 1864, wrote to
the Mayor of Atlanta: "Wsr is cruelty,
and you can not refine it," The express
sion that "War is hell" can not be found
in any of the generals papers, and his
son says that if his father ever used it it
must have been in an off-hand speech of
which he has no record. Perhaps the ac-
cepted phrase is colloquialism that
sprang up no one knows where.

IN Pennsylvania Cleveland received
446, ,632 votes in 1883 and 1854 in 1892.
Bryan's highest vote in the state was
427, 1876, in 1896. Last year the Democratic
candidate for state treasurer polled only
$1,000 votes. The Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis have just declined to instruct for
Bryan, and no wonder. What Bryan has
done to the Democratic party can be
powerfully shown by official figures.

Damage BY Heavy Rains.

The rain storm OF Tuesday night of last
week created no small havoc in this Sec
tion, being one of the worst in its history.
At West Hickory the McCabe lumber
company's mill suffered damage to the
extent of several thousand dollars in the
loss of stock and the tearing up of their
property. West Hickory creek, on which
the mill is located, was on a rampage,
and tore out portion of the rear of the
mill, destroying the carriage, runway,
log-turner, and sweeping away the dam
and letting loose large quantity of logs
that had been stocked. These were car
ried into the river and are almost total
loss to the company, which has been try
ing to pick up some on the lower river.
but with indifferent success. A mile or
more of the tramway was also washed
out.
All the bridges on Little Hickory creek
are said to have been carried away, and a
number OF slides on the "narrows," above
the mouth of the creek has impeded
travel greatly, and will entail heavy loss
on Hickory township. A bridge above
Endeavor, spanning Hickory creek was
also carried away.
The surrounding country sustained
much damage in the destruction of crops
that had been newly planted. In one in
stance party having just completed the
planting of a quantity of potatoes, found
them all washed down into the back
yard next morning.
Young poultry suffered much from the
great down pour, several coops being
drowned out, among this class of flood
sufferers being the editor of the REPUB-
LIcAN, who lost brood of freshly hatched
prize winners.
Oh, it rained some.

WHEN Bryan hears the news from
Pennsylvania he will feel that the opposi-
ton is entrenching for harder contest at
Denver than he expected. He is perhaps
safe enough, for the nomination, but his
weaknesses as a nominee are developing
rapidly. The Republicans will be salts
fled with the Democratic choice if they
take BRYAN.
