A handsome metal badge designed from the above cut will be present ed to every delegate attending the state G. A. R. encampment to be held in McMinnville June 20-23. The promise is for a large attendance of delegates from every post over the state. All should come if possible, or send an alternate, The local representation of visitors will also be large. As there is no celebra tion of the Fourth of July here this year, large numbers will avail them selves of the opportunity the Encampmeut will afford to take its place. The large arch at intersection of Third and D Streets is being erected by Messrs. Cooper and Peckham, and will be a great feature. Its exalted center will be occupied by the goddess of liberty, while on bastions at the four bases of the arch will stand sentrys in their box, and at points on the semi-circle will be stationed little girls scattering flowers upon the proces sion as it passes beneath. The arch center may also be used as a band stand for evening concerts. The handsome souvenir to be issued by The Reporter office will bear on its cover the above design. The little book promises to sell speedily because of its intrinsic worth as a military history of the county, as well a, a thing of value and joy forever to preserve and look at in future years. Let all vie with each other in putting their best foot foremost at the coming encampment, and in making the stay of our visitors the pleasautest possible. It is a golden opportunity.

Proceed at once to the cemetery, and after plac ing the remains in the grave, cover the month of the grave with a large board, and place the flowers upon it, sing a hymn, pronounce the benediction and go home, leaving the sexton or friends to fill up the grave. The services at the house need not occupy more than fifteen minutes and that at the grave not over five. Those long services are prolonged agony which society should not inflict upon the bereaved. Be thoughtful, be merciful. 8. Lafayette, Or., June 3, 1899. E ditor R eporter . Dear Sir: Per mit me a few words on funeral cere monies. There is no divine law regu lating the disposal of the dead and civil laws refrain from interfering with the funeral ceremonies of private citizens, so these ceremonies vary almost in every age and community, and any change made for the benefit of those concerned cannot be considered an innovation. There is no good reason why there should be uniformity in the manner of conducting funerals and any plan that Last fall I sprained ray loft hip while aims in a reasonable way to comfort and handling some heavy boxes.
