Next week Valley City is to enter
tain the state G. A. R. and it will prob
ably be the last time that this body
Of old veterans will ever assemble in
state convention in this city. What
we want to suggest at this time is
that the merchants and citizens of
the city pay homage to these old sold
iers by decorating their stores and
residences to theirfullest capacity.
Let us all display the national colors
and thus help to make the visit of the
old soldiers indeed welcome. Valley
City should do itself proud next week
in entertaining the veterans and give
to them just as good time as it is
possible to give them.
