Memorial day was observed in the
customary manner and the program as
published last week was carried out.
With Marshal r. W. Houston as over
seer, the procession formed on Main
street and many wagons and carriages
wendell their way to the city OF the
dead. There the ritualistic service
was carried out and after the many
graves were decorated, the procession
returned to the city. No accident.of
any kind happened to mar the days
pleasures. In the afternoon large
company assembled at the Methodist
church. Rev. Joseph Stephen offered
prayer, Rev. Reagan, of the Baptist
church, gave the address, which was
much enjoyed and entirely within
keeping of the day. Mrs. Leslie Poit-
evin gave an appropriate recitation,
and the choir rendered several fine Sc
lections. After the benediction by
Rev. Stephen the meeting was closed.
And thus We honor our soldier dead.
Mr.. Hardness was here from Oma-
ha and last Tuesday evening quite
a sprinkling of voters and tax payers
assembled at the city hall to hear him
talk about the electric light PROPOSE
ton. He gave the average cost of
lights, etc., to other towns of our size
and declared that the plant can be in
stalled and handled at a profit to the
town. All present were pleased with
the gentleman's talk and everything
seems to point toward electric lights
for our town.
Mr. C. P. Colgrove, of the Iowa
State Teachers college, gave the COM
mencement address last Friday night,
and it was pronounced an excellent
talk. 1t was full of good sharp points
and wholesome thought and everyone
who heard it took home parts of it
that are bound to be a help and in
spiration to them.
Adolph Ahart had the misfortune to
have a fine horse ruined in a runaway
last week. The horses, four in num-
Der, were hitched to the disc, and
while running one horse fell, causing
the other three and disc to pile up
promiscuously. One horses hoof
came in contact with disc, cutting
through the entire hoof, splitting it
open. Ed Riddles teams have run
away twice the past week with no
great accident or damage.
Miss Bernice Alexander came up
from Omaha Saturday for an over
Sunday visit at home.
Two ball games were played here
last Friday. The high school nine of
Dunlap came up, but were beaten by
our local highs. Then came the an
nual game between the highs and the
alumni, the alumni beating the highs.
We did not learn the score of either
game.
The eight grades of the public
school had their annual picnic dinner
in the city park last Friday, and the
children all enjoyed themselves very
much. After dinner games were
played, after which they all went
home delighted that school had really
closed. The teachers, too, are glad
to be able to rest from their labors
and are ready to enjoy a well-earned
vacation.
The alumni banquet last Friday
evening was held in the l. 0. o. F.
hall after the commencement lecture,
w. C. Rolls having charge of the sup
per, which was a two-cOurse affair
and was much enjoyed. After this

toastmistress, opened the social side
of the banquet Miss nellie Mendon-
sa gave toast to the class of 1912.
and Wilbur Thomas responded. Willie

Susie Wore gave the toast, "Auld
Lang Syne." "Mettle and Medal was
the toast offered by Professor Gates.
Star Goddard spoke on ''The Future
of the Class" The remarks on each
subject were we'll given and many
witty things were said. Taken all in
all, the affair will long be remembered
as one of the best meetings OF this
association. The attendance was the
best of any banquet given so far
