W Army post, few old fellows
whose hair and boards were
white as snow, had got together to
confer upon the morrow's decoration
of the graves OF their comrades who
had gone before them to the eternal
camping grounds. Having perfected
their arrangements, they fell to swap,
ping yarns about episodes that had &C.
Cured half century before. They
had told their stories many a time, hut
each listened to the other with much
of the original interest and respect
that had grown with years. This is
one of the stories that were told:

We hear that Warrington district
is again figuring on voting on the
county road some time III June .!
this year. About year ago the dis
trict voted on bonds to the amount Of
three hundred thousands dollars to
pave 90 miles of road and carried by
good majority for bonds. But after
putting the district TO a great expense
and AHrdeRiHS the tax payer 10 the
limit and taking the labor from our
branch roads to pay the expense OF
surveying aud leaving them without
work or half work. They say we must
vote on the bonds again, as that $500.
600 isn't enough. We must have $70O,.
