Decoration Day.

With the approach of Decoration
or Memorial Day, perhaps brief
note of it's origin will be interesting,
1t is, az every school child knows, a
day set apart in the United States for
the decoration of the graves of sold,
iers who fought in the Civil war. The
custom originated before the close OF
the war when the women of the south
went to the graves of the fallen sold.
iers and decorated them with flowers
At about the same time similar Gus
tom arose IN the north, and on May 5
1868, General John A. Logan, ther
commander in chief of the Crane
Army of the Republic, fixed May 81
OF that year as the day upon which
the graves Of soldiers should be
strewen with flowers. Since tha
time, though there has been no Fedel
al legislation, most states have ap
pointed May 80 as holiday for th,
purpose. In the south, the day il
generally called Memorial Day; il
the north, Decoration Day.

No Mail From The East For More
Than A Week.

The heavy rains of a week ago
Tuesday washed out several bridges,
culverts and several miles of track on
the Chicago d Northwestern railroad
between Creighton and Niabraria,
and as result there has been no
mail from the east to reach this sec,
tion since that date. Saturday night
after the first damage had been prac,
tically repaired, another washout oc.
Cured caused by aunother excessive
rain, and up to the time Of going tc
press we have not yet received any
mail, and all railroad traffic is at a
stand still. This seems TO be about
the worst blockade of mails and traf
tic tLat have yet occurred on the Win
ner line of the Northwestern. and it is
to be hoped that traffic will be resum
ed ere long.

An Emergency Edition.

We failed to get our ready prints
this week because of the wash out on
the Chicago 81 Northwestern, between
Creighton and Niobraria. We were
lucky, however, in having on hand an
special emergency edition which we
are using this week. The continued
storey "The Valiants of Virginia" "
the telegraph news and other late
state news does not appear in this

ing matter does appear in it's place.
We hope to give our readers the regu-
lar up to-dete service next week with
the installment of the continued stor
ey that should appear in this issue.

Ball Game, Dance and Foot Race
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow (Saturda) is Decoration
Day, and while there has been no ef-
fort made here to observe the day in
she usual way, the base ball fans

matched and good game may be ex-
pected. A foot race between Nc
Bride of Kiser -reek and Gereaux, an
Indian, has been matched, and will
be run here to morrow In the even
ing the ball boys will give dance in

plenty doing to keep you entertained

r A T r i n G

Did you ever tat? Do you know
what tatting is?
Tatting is'the art Of tangling UP
thread in long, continuous strir
and in such manner that it will not
unravel. This is accomplished with
some thread, sort of shuttle-bobbin
atfai-, and lot Of time. A nickels s
worth of thread is sufficient to kill
several hours time-even days, if you
are just learning, and passing time is,
of course, the object of tatting. EN-.
broidering and crocheting are sti
used as excuses for afternoon teas by
old fashioned ladies, but the younger
set this year will demand that tat
ting be the diversion at such funC
tiCns.
Many a family tic has uean suaiu
ed almost TO the breaking point be,
cause friend husband could not, at
first, see the beauty i'm yard Of this
new art. OF course it looks different
after the Mrs. explains that it has
taken two hours of hard work to pro-
duce three inches of It, but he sec
reilly feels that he could have wasted
just as much thread in much less
time. There's consolation in man
having right to his own opinion in
such matters, even though he has to
keep them to himself.
AS a preventative Of housework,
tatting has everything else skinned
that has been invented to give this
protection to our daughters. The
piano or anovel isn't 1T with tat
tug. What has girl to show after
an hour at the piano? What remains
of story after it is read? With tat
ting she gets tangible, and tangled,
results. And then the art is so fasci-
mating! A girl absorbed in her tat
ting does not worry and become ner-
vous about her mother, less absorbed
and less fascinated in the kitchen.
1t is said that good looking young
man is the only thing that can in
duce good looking young girl to for
get her tatting-that is, while the
housework is going on. OF course,
after the mother has finished this,
the daughters mad desire to complete
her piece is considerably abated.

BIG EASTER FESTIVAL TO BE
GIVEN BY THE HICKORY CAMP,

THE DEGREE TEAM.

The successful entertainment given
last month by the Hickory Camp.
Woodmen of the World at K. of P.
Hall, will be repeated Thursday, April
gard at Johnson's Hail.
Owing to the great amount OF in
terest taken in the entertainment and
the large number of tickets sold, the
committee found that the K. Of P Hall
would be too small to accommodate
the crowd, and have secured Johnson's
Hall. The management desires to
state that this will be refined enter
tainment for young and old, with
amusements to suit everybody.
The latest dance music will be
played by an excellent band and Cap
tain Poseys crack degree team will
give an exhibition drill.
A matron will be in attendance to
attend to the wants Of all the ladies
present
Tickets can be secured at McMil-

Many people seem to be under the

not affect the payment OF poll taxes

Tax Collector Roberts urges all per-
