to the fact that State Superin-

The order was issued from
Jackson under date of Jan. Is.

This letter has already been sent
out to every camp of veterans in

There was marked change ir

people visited it and were taken
over it for a look Throughout, to
the smallest detail. the structure,
fixtures and furnishings, are the
most modern and costly, and show
how thoroughly the government
can do job of this kind.
While from the intersection of
Main and Market streets the post
Office building does not show to
great advantage, owing to the
main entrance being slightly be-
yond bend in the street, expos
ing only the side to full view, it
does on closer inspection fully
meet expectations. The structure
is composed of white stone and
brick. The interior is more i'm
pressive still. The main floor
used for handling mails is spaci-

DINNER IN GIlMER pARlORS
BIRTHDAY OF ROBERT {. LEE IS CElE-
BRATED IN FITTING MANNER AND
VETERANS ENJOY THE DAY

In celebration of the birthday
of Robert E. Lee the Stephen ID
Lee chapter United Daughters o.
teh Confederacy gave a dinner
Thursday to the Veterans in The
lparlors of the Gilmer hotel
More than three score wearers
of the gray enjoyed the excel
lent dinner and fingered togetner
over the "reminiscences of the ear
lily sixties. Many of them had
not seen each other since the
Daughters entertained them last
year, and among those who were
on hand then were some who can
meet and mingle no more on this
side with their brothers of the
thin gray line. During the din
ner and afterward the Dixie or
chestra played airs dear to the
hearts of the Veterans. Songs
were freely interspersed. Miss
Glenn Miles rendered several
beautiful solos. and also sang
with Mrs. j. P. Mayo and Mrs.
B. X. Sessums.
The parlor and reception hall
of the Giimer were well filled
with Veterans and the ladies who
made the day so delightful for
them.
The dinner was served at noon.
1t was a turkey and oyster menu
with many other things besides,
and served by the ladies them
selves it was all that a dinner
could be.
The parlor was beautifully dec.
Grated with Confederate flags and
red streamers. A large portrait
of Gen. Robert E. Lee was set in
a background made of the Stars
and Bars. and under it was por-
trait of Gen. Stephen d. Lee.
Bunches of holly were distribut-
ed about the tables, which occu-
pied one long side of the room, |
and green vines were gracefully
festooned about the walls.
After dinner Judge j. A. Orr,
at the request of the president of
the U. D. c. local chapter, Miss
Mary Harrison, delivered a short
speech appropriate to the occas-
ion, as did Gen. Il. T. Sykes, in
to a call from the
hostesses.
The entertainment was greatly !
enjoyed by all who attended and
served as a fitting commemora-
ton of the South's great leader.

FARGO ICE RINK
Is NEGLECTED
"coNDITloN OF THE CITY ICE
RINK Is A pIscREDIT TO FAR
CO." SAYS A WELL KNOWN CIT
izEN-ls NOT SUFFICIENTLY
FLOODED FOR SKATERS.

THE condition OF the city ice rink
is a discredit to Fargo" said wen
known citizen this afternoon. For
years the authorities have not been so
negligent with the ice skating ques-
ton as now
Continuing, he said, 1.-THE Island
Park rink has not been flooded for
some time. The crust of ice that lies
on the surface Is in miserable con-
dition. 1t is rough over the entire sur
face and in many places 1t is badly
broken through. The frozen water
top has about the smoothness OF the
old Midland railroad in Kansas. Words
cannot express my conception OF the
skating facilities OF that rink.
Recently there have been light
SHOWS, and the officials in charge of
the rink have done little to remove
this. A number OF the citizens with
a great deal of civic pride, and skate
enthusiasts, have done much toward
removing the beautiful. And then
imagine our disgust after discovering
the condition Of the ice underneath.
AT Grand Forks the officials in
charge of the ice Kinks have erected
dressing houses along the edge for the
use of the ladies and gentlemen and
the number of boys and girls who use
the excellent facilities afforded. They
also have rink director who is al
ways on the job. who looks after the
supervision of the rink and there the
superintendent sees that the place is
flooded twice a week"
