Remember to "garland the lonely mound, on yonder hillside found," of our soldier dead. Mingle both tears and flowers in their honor--bearing this Memorial Day thought with us, "as now they are, so shall we soon be."

New Milford - Silas B. Foot, of the firm of Foot, Schulz and Co., of St. Paul, Minn., died at his home in that city last Friday morning, after several months of declining health. He was born in New Milford, Nov. 7, 1834, going west 51 years ago, and after being a retail dealer for some years developed into one of a firm that became noted as shoe manufacturers throughout the west. He was a reputed millionaire and engaged quite actively in business as the senior member of the firm until his death. Four sons and daughters survive. Mr. Foot was an agreeable gentleman to meet and within a year or two visited New Milford, Montrose and other places in this vicinity to visit relatives and friends and note the many changes that had taken place since his young manhood.

Susquehanna - Has Montrose a ball team? Rumors to the effect that such is the case have reached Susquehanna but the local fans are not willing to believe it. They are from Missouri and must be shown. The local team claims the championship of Susquehanna county and stands ready to defend their title against any aspirants from Montrose, New Milford, Hallstead, Great Bend or Forest City. They are particularly anxious to meet the representatives from the county seat and are satisfied that it will only take them a short time to show the Montrose boys how the National game should be played. The Susquehanna bat smashers are working hard to get in condition.

Herrick Centre - Dorothy, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Fletcher, came near meeting with a bad accident one day last week. Her grandfather left his horse, a blind one, standing at the barn [and] Dorothy got in and started up the horse. He turned in front of the house and [jumped] over a picket fence that stood on top of a four foot retaining wall, into the creek. Her father arrived on the scene in time to grab the girl as she fell in the water, [and] for a wonder not a scratch could be found on the horse or little girl, but F. D. had a badly bruised leg.

Fair Hill - If the young gentlemen (?) who drive up in front of the church, and sit and talk, smoke and make fun, only knew that they are doing what they will one day be ashamed of, they would cease such actions.

Lenoxville - Saturday night our little village was again startled by the cry of fire and on investigating the store building owned by S. B. Hartley was found to be in flames. The building and most of the contents were burned. The news flew over the telephone and soon a large crowd had gathered and did their best to stop the flames. The fighters succeeded only in saving the surrounding buildings. Several went to work carrying goods from the store but saved only a small portion. Cause of fire is unknown.

Thompson - Miss Mabel and Nellie Bloxham, trained nurses of Jersey City, were summoned to Thompson by the death of their father, the late Eli H. Bloxham.

Great Bend - The wedding of Mr. John B. Connor and Miss Mary A. Coddington was solemnized in St. Lawrence church, Tuesday morning, by Rev. Father Fagan, rector of the church.

Forest City - Lake Hillside, the reservoir made by the company, in the valley west of the borough, is quite a large sheet of water and will make an attractive lake when the stumps are entirely cleared out, as they probably will be in the next year or two. The ground was naturally adapted for a reservoir and the water is held back by a comparatively short wall. The lake could very easily be almost doubled in size. It is the intention of the company to use the water to supply their collieries in this place.
