syERsE TO PROPOSAL
anniversary Of Surrender of Army
of Northern Virginia Should be
Day Sacred 10 the South.

Richmond April IA vigorous
protest against the plan of holding a
"iubilee" at .Appomattox on the NJ
1;eth anniversary of the surrender
was unanimously adopted at JOINT
meeting of the local chapters OF the
Donohters of the Confederacy, held
at Lee Camp Hall yesterday
The paper had been prepared 1or d
meeting of Richmond Chapter, called
for Saturday afternoon. but the heaVy
snowstorm that day prevented the at
tendance of quorum of the mem-
bership, and the meeting was post
poned.
The protest follows:
Newspapers OF recent date nave
printed an appeal issued by the com
manders of the Union and Confede-
rate Camps of Manassas, the presi-
dent of the Bull Run Chapter, United
Daughters of the Ccnfederacy, and
the president of the Manassas busi-
ness League. This appeal calls upon
the citizens Of Appomattox to ar
range jubilee celebration on the
battlefield of Appomattox April 8,
10 commemorate the fifty years OF
peace between the North and the
South. Later comes statement
from George C. Round, of the Manas-
sas Post of Union Veterans, giving
his idea that high noon of ,Appomat-
box Day begins new era, and that all
could celebrate, mot the surrender,
but the birth of peace, which origlna-
ted when the great-hearted Grant and
the immortal Lee clasped hands at
the Mclean house" ~
"In response to these statements,
the Daughters of the Confederacy OF
Richmond, having read the appeal,
with all the reasons urged for the I'M
mediate consideration of carrying out
the suggestions, would here and now
record their most earnest request
that the 9th; of: April be held as a
s;lcred day in the hearts of our peo-
pie. and not used as a day of jubilee
and rejoicing. This day, the 9th of
April, 1865, brought cessation OF
hostilities and the surrender of the
Confederate armies, but it brought
not peace to the people Of the South
Years of reconstruction followed, with
horrors greater than those. of the
war. The outcome was accepted, and
our men returned unto their lands to
take hp the difficult task of restoring
their homes and fortunes. . History
will record their noble deeds, and to-
day.we see Il land of peace and pros
perity. Let the 9th of April be. Kept
as at sacred memorial of our peerless
Lee andshis army beyond compare.

Census Completed
For City Of Lennon

Census taker Mork completed
his work for the city of Lennon
last week and he states that he
did not miss any one who has
their residence here. 1t is rather
surprising to some of you readers
perhaps that the population of
this city is not more than 942
but that is the exact figure as
furnished to this paper by Mr..
Mork. When a person takes in
to consideration that this does
not include the people who live
in North Lennon since they are
in North Dakota, this is a pretty
good showing for a town that
has only been on the map for
seven years.
Another thing that should be
taken into consideration when
comparison is made between the
population of this city and places
of like size in an oil settled
country is the fact that here
there are very few large families
and none of the people here are
retired. Everyone living in
Lennon is engaged actively in
some business and for this reason
it is called the Commercial Center
of the Trans Missouri Empire.
The school census shows that
there are within the corporate
limits of our city 294 children of
school age. This includes every
person in the city that is under
the age of q years.
According to the assessed valu.
alton of the city, the real and
personal property totals $649,-
332 80, of which $281 ,521.29, is
personal property. The t al
valuation of the buildings is
assessed at $24l, 965.0O and the
value of the city lots is placed
at $125,S46.
