Agreeable weather and a good turn
out marked Decoration day in Toledo.
In the forenoon the procession went to
the Toledo cemetery according to pro
gram and performed the ever-beautiful
ceremony of decorating the graves of
the nation's dead. Abe Lincoln Relief
Corps conducted the impressive burial
service for the unknown dead, the old
veterans tenderly placed their floral
tributes upon the -mound, followed by
nearly every one present. Here and
there a little flag marked the last rest
ing place of a soldier, and soon the
mounds were thickly covered with flow
ers Oregon flowers the prettiest in the
in the world. The decorating ended,
the assemblage paused at the cemetery
gate and sang the dear old national an
them, "America." In the afternoon the
members of G. A. K., W. R. C. and Miss
Sumner'-s pupils formed a procession and
inarched to the courthouse. They made
a pleasing and patriotic appearance, but
about a hundred more school children
who might have been added to the pro
cession would have made it more so.
The circuit court room, however, was
filled to overflowing. The prayer by
Chaplain Carter of Abe Lincoln Post
was followed by music by a choir com
posed of Mesdames Swope and Bethers,
Misses Sumner and Thompson and
Messrs. Ross and Gaither, with Mrs.
Fred Stanton us organist. The several
selections by the choir were thoroughly
appreciated. Mrs. U. H. Young and
Miss Mamie Wakefield gave appropriate
recitations, in a very creditable manner.
The oration by Attorney B. F. Swope
was a splendid effort and won many
words of praise. His tribute to the
nation's defenders was of unusual merit
and thoroughly appreciated by the vet
erans. Mr. Swope has thus paved the
fAy'y for a lot of trouble for himself, for
r Tie will hereafter encounter a brisk de
mand for his presence on public occa
sions. Memorial day was fittingly
observed in Toledo.

Rev. C. M, Brown's Memorial .
sermon at the M. I. church last
Sunday attracted a good audience,
and many have prouonced it one of
the ablest efforts they have ever
listened to on similar occasions.
Mr. W. S. Whedon, Cashier of tho
First Nntioual Bank of Winterset, Iowa,
in a recent letter gives some experience1
with a carpenter in his employ, that will
be of value to ot her mechanics. I le says :
"I had a carpenter working for me who
was obliged to stop work for several duys
on account of being troubled with diar
rhoea. I mentioned to him that I had
been similarly troubled and that Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy had cured me. Ho bought a
bottle of it from the druggist here and
informed mj that one dose cured him,"'
and he is again at his work.1' Tot sr.le by
