Owing to the efforts Of the
Boosters Club, the merch; rs
nave taken, hold in great shape
AID the Floral Hall presents q
most beautiful appearance.
The booths are decorated in a
most artistic manner and re-
minds one of a palm garden.
The following merchants have
booths:
c. U. Myers shoes, dry goods,
groceries; j. R. McGavren &
Son-st stoves; Times-stationary
subscriptions; j. d. Brown &
Son-Kodaks, stock food; Doty
& Peterson-Stock food; Owen
& Schmid- electrical supplies;
Harrison theatre The popular
Play House; Deur & Tamisiea,
Cream of the Valley Flour; F.
A. Heath groceries; T. j. Hen
nessey- palms, ferns, cut flow
ers; H. H. Dickman & Co-dry
good, suits, millinery; Robt.
Harvey Chi-Namel; Fensler
& Amen "The Good Clothes
Shop"
The Floral Hall was not large
enough to hold all the exhibit
ors so a couple of them have
erected large tents to show
their wares. V. l. Tamisiea
has a large display of farm i'm
Elements under canvas. Fred
Beebee has 1911 Mitchell and
Rambler automobiles on display
and farm implements.
Taken as a whole, the show
ing made by the merchants
this year is the best ever seen
at a Fair. A prize should have
been offered for the most artis-
tic display but the Judges would
have had a hard time deciding.
The Wild West show is at
tracing considerable attention.
They gave a very creditable
street parade last evening.
The fireworks this evening
are said to be exceptionally
fine. They will take place i'm
mediatly in front of the grand
stand so that all can be plainly
seen. This is the same comp
any which put on the display at
the State FAIR at Des Moines.

A WAR STORY.
BY a Survivor.

y p ERE is a war story told by q
survivor Of Magruder's COM
III z mand in northern Virginia:
"Magruder's army was not
much more than 10000 strong, reckon.
and it had to do some right sharp work
to stand off three well fed, well eqiup-
ped Federal armies, each of them nearly
twice as large. Well, one day Magru-
der was out accommodating with his
staff in the Shenandoah valley, and he
stumbled across a likely looking pIan-
tation.
"He sent his orderly off on the jump
to present his compliments to the mis-
tress of the mansion and tell her that
he and his officers were powerful hum
gry-Would she be kind enough to
give them some dinner? Of course she
sent back word she'd do her best.
Along comes a yellow haired young
soldier right after that, and he tells her
the same thing. It seems he was on
his way to join his regiment and was
covered with dust and looking tired to
death.
"'My young friend, I'm doing M
best to get up a good dinner for Cen
eral Magruder and his staff. Get down
and come in, and if there is anything
left after they get through you shall
have it, said this hospitable lady.
The young chap was hardly out OF
his teens, and it happened that he
came from one Of the finest families in
Virginia. He dismounted and went
into the house. Just naturally he knew
how affairs were conducted in the old
plantation households, and when Ma
gruder and his staff arrived he did
some pretty tall scouting around the
dining room. AS soon as dinner was
announced be marched in at the head
Of the procession and took a seat next
to Magruder The general looked at
him pretty savage for a minute and
said:
Sir, do you know with whom you
are dining?
THE young man looked at him just
as sharp and answered back:
'''No, sir, | don't Before I Joined
the army was mighty careful who /
ate a meal OF victuals with, but now
make no distinction whatever
THAT settled it. Magruder looked
nettled for a minute aud then burst
out laughing. So did the others. and
the dinner went on with everybody in
high good humor."

Gave Grant a Job.

George Bissell, a retired business
man Of Topeka, once gave General u.
S. Grant job at SO week in his
harness shop at Rockford, Ill. Later
both worked in the Grant tannery at
GaIena, and then Bissell and u. S.
Grant went to buying and shipping
hogs together.
Mr.. Bissell was conducting a har-
ness shop in Rockford when Grant, a
put to work and stayed only short
time. He announced that he was 60
ing to Galena and did so. Bissell told
Grant to look around and if he found
an opportunity to let him know and
he would go to Galena also.
In a short time Bissell received a
letter telling of a vacancy in the Grant
tannery at Galena. Bissell sold his
shop and went to Galena and worked
for Orville Grant, a brother to the
future general, who was the manager
of the tannery owned by Jesse Grant,
the father of the two boys. Both Bis
sell and q. S. Grant received SO O
week
During the winter Of 1859 Bissel1,
who had laid by little money, began
buying hogs and shipping them to Gin
cinnati. After the first consignment
U. S. Grant expressed desire to quit
the tannery and join Bissell in the
hog business. This was agreeable,
and they did very we'll financially that
winter and the following summer.
Shortly after going to Galena son
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Bissell.
Grant, at his request, was permitted
to suggest a name for the boy, and he
offered his own, Ulysses Grant Bissell.
But the mother took hand and
changed the name to Edwin Ulysses
Bissell.
when Grant left Galena," said Mr..
Bissell, she begged me to go with him.
He was colonel then.
"'George, if you will go with me I
will give you the best place can,' he
said. and | will see that we are al
ways together
"And I would have gone II my wife
udu uoL Uoeu DIT Tie punt OL QeaLu
with consumption. When Grant left
1 said that he would make the best
officer in the army. He had the max.
ing Of an officer-the ability to carry
out his plans. Many persons laughed
when l made the remark, along with
them the colonels brother, Orville.
Gle said that he could not see It
that way; that Ulysses had not sue
ceeded in business and he did not
think be would succeed in the army.
But it was not long before Grant was
heard from. AS time went on the pa
pers began to have more and more to
say about the work of Grant. The
home papers were full OF it."-New

Memorial Day.

On the banks of the river of glory
In camp are the soldiers today.
Away from the grim and the CORY
That reddens the battles array.
The bugles and the drums are still.
The sword and gun no longer kill
The blue and gray.
To the camp on the river Of glory
We tell in the flowers we lay
On the graves of the brave the old story
OF love that shall live Away.
We cheer the heroes dead, and yet
The roses with our tears are wet
For blue and gray.
