Ex-Treasurer J E Blackmon aiul family left Wednesday afternoon for Junction, Ark., for a protracted visit to the parents and 'relatives of Mrs Blackmon. They had intended leaving the day before, had their bagguge taken to the depot hut Mr Blackmon not completing his annual settlement with the Comptroller General in time was compelled to defer starting until the following day. His trunks and baggage were not j mi ved from the depot for the ! night, the baggage man taking j them in charge and assuring him it would be perfectly safe. That night the tire occurred, the trunks i and baggage was burned, and Mr B., had to purchase clothing, etc., ; for himself and family the follow- 1 ing day before leaving. It was a heavy Iciss for him. J t Tribute to The I>o?ul Soldiers Memorial day* was olisorvcd1 here in the usual way. Veterans, citizens and school children assembled at the court house Tuesday afternoon at t> p. m. where the procession was formed in the us- 1 mil order, the veterans coming tirst, and marched to the cemetery by the Marshal, Capt It .1 Witherspoon. The exercises began ; with prayer by Rev Chalmers Frazer, followed with the song "America,'' by the children. ' Then came the roll call, followed by another song by the children. ! The marshal then introduced Rev W C Kwart, the orator, who i made a most excellent address. I Mrs ,J II Boldridge then sang an appropriate solo, and while flow- ' ers were being strewn on the soldiers graves the. choir sang "Tenting tonight." The occasion awakened sad memories in the breasts of ninny, but it was a i pleasure to pay this loving tribute ! to the dead of "The Lost Cause." : May the custom ever be kept up ' in old Lancaster. ???_________ IK>n?t Tubarro Kptt and Kntoha lour IJTe A?ay. .
