FROM THE TRIBUNE FILES


The first Cattle Show and Fair was
held in this village Tuesday. 1t was
merely as an experiment and
owing to The limited time for circu-
lating the nolces and the unfavorable
weather many predicted failure.
Such was not the case. Men of the
right stamp had taken the matter in
hand with determination to succeed
and success will crown their effort.
Notwithstanding it was a wet, lowry,
day. our village was literally TANNED
full" with spectators and exhibitors.
The address of Hon NJ M. Jackson
was eloquent, appropriate and instruc-
tive. Addresses were also delivered
by Col. Sam Crawford and Gen. VIM.
X. Smith, which are spoken of in high
terms of appreciation. The result of
this Fair cannot be otherwise than
beneficial TO the entire community and
we imagine the time is near at hand
when the farming portion of the citi-
zens of "Od Iowa" will occupy the
position in society to which they have
been long entitled by their industry,
intelligence and firmness of character.

THE FLAG OF FREEDOM"

with their allies for the first time, and

THE FLAG OF FREEDOM"
By VIM. Godsworthy.
All hail to the flag of freedom
AS it floats upon the air,
While millions from all lands and climes
Doth its protection share.
It's stars and stripes an emblem
OF people brave and free,
1t floats Ger vale and mountains
And loved from sea to sea.
1t has scaled the walls of China,
1t has set fair Cuba free,
1t has carried freedoms message
To the islands of the sea.
1t never leads its armies
For conquest or for gain,
But to carry freedoms message
And to break the bondsman's chains.
Der Belgium's blood-stained billsides
And fair Frances lnny plains,
1t leads our noble army
To help crush the Teuton's shame.
No traitors arm dare strike it
No alien tongue defame,
No shaker dare defy it
Or hold it in disdain.
Through all its wars for freedom,
1t has never known defeat,
No power has ever conquered
Or forced it to retreat.
Then speed on thou starry banner
On thy mission Ger the sea,
Thy task will not be ended
Until all mankind is free.
