Its superb concerts. The following
program of short addreses was car-
ried out and much'Internet and im-

Especially Interesting were the re
marks of Mayor McKee regarding the
late disgraceful "shooting' up (he

such unlawful conduct. “And I have

you to say If you will stick the law

I echo, for Dr. Greer, h id. in his open-

Col. Wm. A. Bowen, editor of
the Arlington Journal, was call-
ed to Indianapolis. Jnd., last week
to deliver the Decoration Day
speech before the encampment of
the G. A. R. and Farmers’ Union
of that state. The Colonel is
there with the oratory and in- i
formation along these lines and
enjoys disseninating the said in-
formation when he can perform
a service by so doing.”

Mayor Press McKee on his enterprise

“When the Indianans chose
Col. Bowen for their orator on
Decoration Day they picked one
who could tell it to them. The
Colonel has been all his life in-
