Afternoon.

Andalusians are making great prep
under the management of the Memo
rial and Historical society. This So
ciety, as most people in the south end
Of the county know, is gotten up for
the purpose of keeping a record of
those things worthy of being kept, of
old soldiers and old settlers; and a
goodly number of each is expected to
be present.
At $3.50 a. M, at the ringing of the
school bell, the teachers and pupils,
veterans, colors and drum corps will
march to the village hall, where they
will receive the decorations, and with
citizens, William Bently, marshal, will
march to the cemetery. After placing
floral tributes over the 26 veterans
graves, the procession will return to
the hall and the assembly be dis
missed until 1870 p. m. Meanwhile
the drum corps and part of the time
a quartet will entertain those who re-
main at the hall. Dinner will be
served in the Brookman hall by the
ladies of the Baptist Aid society.

ish government assured the powers
protecting the islands that If the
Cretans We're admitted to the Greek
national assembly such action would
be regarded by the porte as a easus
belli.
A semiofficial statement issued at
Athens last night declared that the
anXietieS excited in Turkey were
groundiesS and that the assembly had
been convoked precisely because its
sitting would defer the date OF the
parliamentary elections. which other
wise might have given the Cretans an
opportunity 10 realize their ambition
to send deputies TO Athens.
Nevertheless, the movement of the
British vessels makes clear that the
powers concerned do not propose to
permit any action threatening peace
in the near east or in any other way
disturbing the status quo.
