FIRE TRUCK ARRIVES

The Carlisle Fire Company receiv-
ed its old truck back from the factory
this week. 1t has not been unloaded
from the car as yet, but members of
the company say that the American
La France Company has given them
a first-class job of reconditiOning the
truck. The contract for repairing the
truck called for new tenders, differ

hose conveniences, a larger pump and
mOdernized motor. The truck is just
as good as when new, and has much
larger pumping capacity The fire
will construct a small house
at the rear of their lot on Railroad
avenue, to house the truck until the
bew fire house is completed.
With the arrival Of the rebuilt
truck, the Carlisle Fire Company is

MEMORIALS ERECTED
TO SHILOH HEROES
Monuments or Tablets Rep
resent Organizations.

NTITH few exceptions all the
w states that had soldiers in the
Shiloh battle have erected monuments
or tablets representing the several or
ganizatiOns, located on parts of the
field where they were principally en-
gagged. Some states, notably Iowa,
have erected one monument represent
ing all the troops from that state.
One of the places of interest to
visitors in Shiloh park is the peach
orchard, where some of the hardest
fighting occurred. Here is where the
Union forces held their lines against
Confederates for some time before
they had to give way. Here is where
Gen. Albert Sydney Johnson, com
mander in chief of the Confederates,
rode to the front to urge a general
charge when he fell mortally wound
ed. Nearby is a monument marking
the place where he fell; within a few
yards is the large oak tree where he
was laid; the tree is now enclosed
with a high iron picket fence. A
short distance away is the spring to
which he was carried and where he
died in about fifteen minutes after
he was wounded.
The finest exhibit Of sculpture and
art on the ground is the monument or
memorial erected by the Daughters Of
the Confederacy, costing $65,0OO. 1t
is a design something in the nature Of
a pageant-a large structure of mar
BILE with figures in bronze. intended to
represent the joyful anticipation of
the COnfederates as they went into the
battle, and on the other side the gloom
and grief at their defeat, with the loss
of their commander in chief and thou
sands of friends killed in battle.
Whether this is the Interpretation the
artist designed to give, it is one that
is readily suggested to the casual Wis
itor It is a picture that appeals alike
to the emotions of vanqushed and vic
tor, reminding of the grief and sot-
row resulting from the sacrifice on
Shiloh eld-IndianapOlis Star.

Forget wars fury and rejoice
Live with the flowers today!

Nor face tumultuous years.
