A Memory of Sixty-one.

We made those graves by the river
deep,
Far in that lonely mountain glen,
And left them there to their last long
sleep,
1t were better far than the prison pen.
Fifty.three years ago I saw for the
first real soldiers-it was on the day of
the attic of Bull Run-and my adnlir
alton for them has grown with the
years The dearest thing to me is to
get them to tell of what they saw and
did-but not was for them 10 do and
not to talk, and so was formed the
habit. l we'll remember how l drew
the honest wrath Of one of them when
said certain man acts so shiftless, he
glared at me and exclaimed. Damn
you, If you had five rebel bullets in
your body you would act shiftless
God help me did not know-many
came home all right, many will come
again no more forever. Some came
home wrecks, cursed by the stay-at-
homes and the heartless have one in
mind, one copy of many more; he
was not good farmer. nor father, or
friend I asked his old comrade of
Perry, If he was good soldier. He
threw back his head, his old eyes fired
yes he was one of the best; he was
next to my left all of that awful day
at Jonesboro, when the old 14th charged
and took whole rebel brigade, and he
came back with great ghastly wound,
his bayonet dripped with thick blood
yes he was good soldier; tears and
love for the blue. III E WOODBURY..

Strict Dog Ordinance.

The council passed another dog ordin-
ance, Monday, and 1t makes every pro-
vision possible seemingly for disposing
of all dogs not worth attention and care
and protects the public from most of
the dangers now feared. The ordinance
appears in full on another page
The city council has refused to pass
an ordinance providing many restric-
tions on the keeping of chickens, the
aldermen believing that it was unnec-
essary to interfere with 30 many resi-
dents in their efforts to have few fresh
eggs and little chicken meat and to
use up the garbage from the house:

The attention of the members present
at the Tuesday lunch of the Owosso
Improvement Association was largely
taken up with discussion upon the
question of patronizing people who
come to the city with various kinds of
advertising and charity schemes. The
members were urged to refuse support
in any case except when the matter has
been presented to either the advertising
or charity committee of the Association
and card of approval issued by the
committee and the secretary of the As.
sociation. During the few months in
which the card system has been in
vogue 81 applicants have been refused
and but half dozen approved, with the
result that many dollars haye been
saved to the members. Secretary Seeg
miller gave 1t as his opinion that the
committees had been very thorough
and very fair in the consideration oi
every case brought to their attention
and did not believe an injustice had
been done anyone.

The Playground Appropriation.


In view of the request which the
Lansing Playground association has
made before the city council for an ap-
preparation of 81, 600, word Of appre.
citation for the work which the associa-
| ton did last wear may not be illtimed.
Hundreds Of chi dren spent happier
summer last year than they had ever
known before because Of the work of
this association Its benefits were felt
in all parts of the city and among the
children of all classes of people.
Through its work the parks we're util-
lied in manner which made them pro-
duce something near the limit of their
possible value to the city.
The people of Lansing were given sc
many object lessons on the value of the
work which the association is doing
that the moderate request which has
been made for funds this year will
meet with no opposition among them.
In reality the sum should be larger.
Twice the amount asked would not be
too much and such an appropriation
could meet with nothing but favorable
comment.
We purchase benches, plant trees,
create walks and drives, that our parks
may be attractive. Certainly it is an
act of good judgment to extend the
plan little farther and provide for the
entertainment and healthful recreation
of the children who visit them State
