Mich, the exterior of which is COM
posed of Woodbury. gray granite. He
laid the corner stone, which is of
Woodbury. gray, of the new G.. A. R.

delivered there on the 25th, thus
making an exceptionally quick ship
ment, and they were enabled to have
the exercises on the 9th as schedul-
ed. The president also laid the
corner stone of the new post Office
at Lead, S. D., which is of Wood
bury gray granite and he will for
mally open the new post Office at
