A. R. and Daughters Unite In Big Convention al Grand Rapids, Mich. Last week the sixty-first national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held at Grand Rapids, Mich.

As the G. A. R. members and delegates stepped from the train they were met by Boy Scouts who took bags and banners and hailed cars courtesy of citizens, and acted as escorts to the Illinois headquarters at Hotel Rowe. The sight of those happy faces, the stirring music and the wonderful welcome to Grand Rapids will never be forgottefi by the delegates.

Bartholomew Roberts. There are many factors which go to Justify this characterization of "unique." Here are but a few: Forced Into piracy himself, he never forced a man to become a pirate himself. Upon his election to leadership, he spoke laconically and to the point-- albeit not very gracefully nor gratefully-- as follows: "Since I have dipped my hands In muddy water and must be a pyrate, It is better to be a commander than a common man." He was the only total abstainer known to the history of piracy. He drank only tea 1 On board his ship all lights had to be out by eight o'clock at night, and any of the crew who wished to continue drinking after that hour had to do so on deck, regardless Of the weather. He would allow no women on his ship, and the man who brought a-woman aboard disguised as a man did so under penalty of death. He always protected women prisoners. He allowed no games of cards or dice to be played for money, since he Grand Rapids could possibly do was | disapproved of gambling. He was n accomplished for the comfort and j strict observer of the Sabbath and alhappiness of its guests.

Last Wednesday, Sept. 14, someone telephoned Henry Hobart that one of the three trucks hauling milk to Chemung had broken down and the other two would have to take all that the three had been hauling. Would he take his milk down to Ostend corner just that day ? Said they would be there about noon. It was taken at 11:30 and they waited until 1:30 and no truck. The milk was then taken back home a dead loss. Then the driver conceived the plan that it would be fine to order it drawn to the corner, three-quarters of a mile, and he does not go after it. Milk has been going to Chemung, since the first part 6f July. C. 1£. Jecks is improving fine now. He gets about the house and goes outside on his crutches.
