It was worth travelling several hundred miles to witness the manner in which the business was conducted and to enjoy the programs.

The most notable feature of the session were the demonstration from the various colleges and High schools.

She will recite for churches or any organization by engagement at rates that are quite reasonable Address her at Parsons, Kansas BEAUTIFUL HOME OF NON. At Rest. The passing of Mr. George J. Washington removes from our mind one of Shawnee county's most highly esteemed citizens. He had been ailing for some time, and on December 30th at his country home in Mission township, the made in the hourglass gave out, and this splendid old man went out of the world with the passing year. His was a useful and well spent life—beloved as a citizen and honored as a soldier. He was a native of Missouri and answered his country's call to arms serving three and a half years. He was sixty nine years of age and settled in Shawnee county many years ago, where he lived comfortably on his farm and reared an estimable family. The General was held Sunday from St. John A. M. R. church, and Ft. Pillow Post of which he was a member conveyed the remains of their dead comrade to the Topeka memorial where he was laid to rest. Thus, one by one, the gallant old defenders of the Union are passing, and in a few years only the sons of these grand old boys will be left to glory over the deeds of their illustrious sirens.
