I'VE have reached a time in history
said the President, when even those
brave men who led the Southern army
are willing generally to concede that
the result as it was is better than the
result would have been had their great
efforts been successful. But, my friends,
when the war was over we had but
reached one stage, in the dreadful bat
tie which had been fought in the excl
sion OF the cancer which was necessary
from the body polite OF the United
States. There remained then the Union
again-the reunion of the feeling of the
people of the North and the people of
the Southland it is to the soldiers of
the Union and the G. A. r. that we
turn to find the first great generous
feeling toward their old foe whose brav-
cry they recognized.
II want to testify to the virtue of the
G. A. r. in making that feeling thruout
this country permanent. You have no
quarrel that the followers of the Lost

A MIDNIGHT FIRE.

j. H.. Shemwell s smoke house
and sausage factory, in the rear
of his meat market, was complete
ly destroyed by fire about II
O'Clock Wednesday night. The
building was a frame shell covered
with sheet iron, but a quantity
of lard and tallow, stored inside,
and the greese soaked floors made
a very hot fire which was impossi
Bile to extinguish and quite diff
ficult to control.
And had it not been for the cool
presence of mind Of Mrs. Norma
Lowe, manager of the local tele-
phone exchange, and her prompt
action in sounding the alarm by
calling every phone subscriber in
town and notifying them OF the
fire before it spread to any of the
adjoining buildings, the damage
would have been tremendous and
this entire business section of the
town would certainly have been
completely wiped out. As a re
suit of her warning, however, a
number of men who fortunately
had not yet retired for the night,
were soon on the scene and in
short order had the fire engine
out and a stream of water on the
flames before they had time to
spread. The fire engine was
in fine shape and rendered good
service.
Mr.. Shemwell places his loss in
machinery and stock at between
500 and $500 with $175 insuranc,
in the Kavalec agency. a rear
window in Leroy Wilson'S store
was broken by the heat of the
flames and a part of his clothing
stock was slightly damaged by
water.
