Memorial Day at Collyer

Again we have been permitted to
gather in our dear old soldier town to
meet the old soldiers on this day
heroes of the civil war.
While the ranks are depleted by
sixty which causes a shadow, vet we
have the thought that in spirit they
are with us on this day of all days
to the soldier.
Though the sons of veterans have
not organized yet as camp they
have lifted the burden of the sacred
day and what they have done on short
notice to make the Memorial day of
1913 the finest ever held in Collyer is
but suggestion of what we may look
forward to in the future. The Sol
diers of the Spanish war were with
us and the whole town as well as
outside visitors did all in their pow
er to make the day a success.
The flag drill by twelve children
was beautiful and was well done.
o. L. Cook, representative of Trego,
was the first speaker. His speech
was appropriate and he paid touch
ing to the mothers of the soldiers.
He protrayed war in its sacrifice and
misery and his picture was a true
one of the DAYS of '61-'65. 1t SEEM
ed that this great struggle had to be
and the patriots of this country had
to risk their all when they took up
arms. The north could not stand for
slavery. While the north submitted
mi -
owners of the south give votes for
every 8 or 10 slaves that at other
times they counted as cattle thus
unjustly giving them the reign of
power, but when Republican was
elected they wanted TO secede L
never believed it was the majority
but those in power.
No longer ago than the Spanish
war when General Wheeler would
not be recognized when he went to
the Confederate reunion, because he
fought under the stars and stripes, but
this is new and progressive era of
higher though and the example is
everywhere. The north dwells upon
the barbarity of Andersonville and
Libby no longer, both sides say it is
past; those we meet today are not
those of the rebellion and the meet
ing of the Blue and the Grey at
Gettysburg is the grandest and the
most gratifying occurance since the
surrender by Lee that forever ended
the most cruel and bitter strife of ali
ages and they are to meet on the
fields of Gettysburg as friends and
brothers under one flag and one gov
erment contended and happy.

Mysterious Jim

He turned up kind o. sudden like,
Come in walkin' on the pike;
That's all they ever knowed of where
He came from fore he landed there.
He took his meals with Tommy Clare,
An giner'ly you'd find i'm there
With lazy look and smiling face,
Jes' kind o. hangin' round the place
He acted innocent and mild,
Like he had lived all undefiled
He didn't do no work, but Jest
Loafed where it suited i'm the best.
Some took delight in guyin i'm,
An Unclaimed i'm Mysterious Jim.
But he KEEP on without a frown.
JeS' kind O. hangin round the town
One night Hoods store was busted in.
An, lookin' where the money'd been,
They found it just as they had fear
ed
The cash had kind o. disappeared.
Mysterious Jim had vanished, too:
They searched the county through
an through,
An found him ten miles south o.
Hoods
Jes' kind O. bangin' round the woods.
They rounded up Mysterious Jim,
An quickly got the drop on i'm;
He showed gnn, but didn't shoot.
He seen it wouldn't hardly suit.
They searched their man, an found
the goods
That he had stole back there at
Hoods.
leather bag that held the spec
Was kind O. hangin' round his neck
Then they prepared to take Inn back;
OF horses, though, there was a lack;
Then Jim he opened up his talk.
An swore an oath he wouldn't walk.
They swore he shouldn't ride a step.
An both them vicious vows they
KEEP,
For there they left Mysterious Jim

discovered that the Merchants Assoc
Citations had smuggled 200 strike7
breaking thugs into the city during
the night Is
The 200 imported strikebreakersi
were sent out under police guard
soon after the crippled stores opened
their doors this morning. There were
from two to four uniformed police
men on each wagon. In some in-l
stances mounted policemen rode with
the wagons. The Merchants Assoc
citation apparently owns the city adj
ministration.
There is almost certain to be trout
BILE if the store owners continue to
import strikebreakers and the adn1inal
istration lends itself to this treatment
of the strikers by putting policemen
on the wagons as if trouble were be-
ing hunted "
The sympathy of the people of the
city is entirely with the strikers, and
some of the imported strikebreakeFs
are liable to get some rough handling.
A crowd that sympathized with the.
girl strikers attacked a truck cartiRg
carpets to department store this
morning, and threw most of the car
pet over the streets before the police
could get together and dispense it. y
The girl strike pickets still are on
duty around the big stores, and along,
Main street. The police so far do not,
appear to have received orders to-
modest them.
The strikers devoted most of the
day to meetings and conferences,
John Coleman, business manager of
the United Trades and Labor Council,
says matters are progressing favor
ably from the viewpoint of the clerks
and drivers, but viii make no other
