I eiOkth STATTOKS I PIS I PASS were considered among the most remarkable of the war. In Fabrunry, 1834, TJlvsse S. Grant was made lieutenant-general of the armies, George Washington and Winfleld Scott being the only two who had preceded him in this distinguished rank. The-battle of the Wilderness was an' other exhibition of unflinching courage and superb strategy, and here it was he inspired the heart and nerved ihe arm of soldiers who were dying from exposure and disease by the declaration that, "I propose to light it out on this line ifit takes aU Spottsyl-vania and Cold Harbor foUowed in succession, and Grant's losses were greater than Lee's, but he held on, and in March 1865 Grant dispatched to Sheridan, "I wish to finish this thing." Then came tbe battle of Five Forks, March SI to April 2, that was fought all way to Petersburg A 2 :30 Fort Gregg, the last defense of Richmond' fell and soon the surrender of Lee foUowed. But now behold the grandeur and magnanimity of the man In the shouts of victory that were wont to be made, he said: "Don't rejoice; abstain from such demonstr ations.

The rebels are our countrymen again." This is what General Grant did for our coun try What has it done for him? He has not only been trusted by such men as Lincoln Staunton and Sherman, but the sreat body of tbe American people stood by h'm and believed In him, because of his motto, "Standfast, stand firm, stand true." The people chose bim as Lin-coin's successor, and for ei-bt years he was the Chief of tne Nation. His qualities were indomitable will, courage which no danger, sudden or gradual could dlm-y, power of abstract reflection soundness of judgment on questions which he fully understood, ability to keep his own counsel, capaicity to rise with the demands upon his resources He did nothing great before the year 1861. The immergency came and he rose to its His language concerning his departure was, "I am ready, as ready now, perhaps, as at any future time, to set sail end be at rr st fo ever. His place in the Temple of Fame and in Ihe hearts of bis countrymen is secured. The everlasting answer to the question; Who was the father of his country? will be George Washington; coeval with it when the question is asked, "who saved the country?" the answer will be, Abraham Lincoln and U.

S. Grant, At the conclusion of Rev. Archer's address, which was listened to with marked attention, the choir sang, "Nearer My God to Thee." Rev. Gartin was then introduced who considered the life and works of Grant from the "standpoint of an instrument in the hands Of God to accomplish a great reformation. When this speaker had closed his last period, the choir ended the' exercises by singing "Rest From Your Labors," a beautiful anthem, and the people were fast dispersing to their homes ihe beauti ful strains of their voices seemed to linger in the deep green foliage, until broken by the more spirited tones of brass music as the bands were leaving the Grove.

Women and Children Endure tbe Beat of a Fancral March to do Honor to -the Memory of General rant. The intense heat on Saturday was certainly discouraging to those who wished to turn out and participate in the demonstrations of national sorrow over the death of General Grant. However, at the appointed honr for the procession to form a large concourse of people from the town and country emerged from the protecting shades and took their places as. indicated by the programme. C.

C. Twyford took charge of the procession, and as it moved off from the opera block down Fifth street, the emblems of mourning on either side were fitting testimonials of genuine sorrow. The line of Post veterans, other or- ganizations and carriages was not a long one, but as those afoot left the pavements at the stone bridge and filed into line under the deeply plain tive measures of the funeral dirge, it presented the most imposing spectacle we ever witnessed in Florence. As the music of the Davis Band in" front died out upon the sullen air the craped musicians of the French band in the rear caught up the symphony of sorrow in pathetic strains and slowly timed the solemn tread of the people. The march was a hot and dusty one, and as the procession entered the cool avenues of Barker's Grove, the deathlike stillness of the leafy boughs did fitting tribute to the solemnity of the hour.

The people quietly assumed seats on the circling rows, and those in carriages noiselessly took positions in the rear of seats fronting the plat form upon which sat the speakers, G. A. officers and the select choir, consisting of F. S. Mitchell, May Morrison, Frank Holenberg, Jessie Sturges, C.

A. Alspaugh, Frankie Stanford, and Miss Wood, who pre sided at the organ. Suspended from the gracefully-draped apex over the platform, hung a large size portrait of General Grant encircled with crape that formed a semi rosette at the bot tom. Immediately above this and just below the center of the bust rest ed a bouquet of immortelles. The entire suiTOundings were suitably draped with the American flag and crape or black bunting.

Promptly at 4 o'clock, G. F. Minturn, Post Commander, opened the services according to the ritual of the G. A. after which W.

B. Zercher of Pollock Post, pronounced the ritual invocation with deep and eloquent voice. At the con elusion of the charge to veterans, Post Commander Minturn resigned the direction of the exercises to Mr. Twyford, who announced the opening anthem, "He's Gone." The music of the choristers was strikingly beautiful, and as their voices retarded in sweet cadence of harmony we thought our vocalists never sang better. When the anthem was ended, Rev.

Archer was introduced as the funeral orator. The scene was an impressive one, and the speaker evinced some degree of emotion as he rose and addressed the audience as follows: Ladies akd Fjeixow Citizens I appear before you to-day deeply sensible of the importance and solemnity of this occasion. We are here to do honor to the memory of one who led our armies to victory in the Ut-rce conflicts that bi ought back the dismembered states of the soutu ana re-umiea me country. "And the king said unto his servants, know ye not that there is a fkincx and a great man fallen this dav in Israel?" This language was used by David, king ef Israel, wuen ADner, aaui's lieutenant-general of Israel's armies, was slain. And my fellow citizens, why should we not say the same of our illustrious aeaa, u.

s. tiramr j.rant, whose sturdy frame and iron will knew not how to surrender to any mortal foe, has fallen before the King of Terrors. Hi rum U. Grant, was born at Point Pleasnnt Ohio, April 27. 1832.

No premonition of his future career was seen in his childhood. By some fortuitous circumstances he became a cadet at West Point at the age of 17. The congressman to whom he owed his appointment uid not know his name, and wrote in tbe Regis ter "Ulysspg S. Grant," and by that name he was ever anerwara Known, tne war, or near its close, the name by which he was christened was made known to the world in a popular song, the chorus of which begaji-thus: "Carry the news to Hiram." After his graduation in 1843, standing 21 In a class of 39. he fou-ht all through the Mexican War.

being in every battle except Bufnit Vista. In 154 he resigned his coptaincy, tried various kinds of business without much success, until 1361, when the civil war began in he fall of Port sumpter lie answered tne call ror troops on the 15tQ of April '61, and In the following iune was maae ueionet oi tne zisi regiment oj Illinois in fan rv. and in Auzust President Lin coln commissioned him as Brigadier-general of volunteers, un tne tstn ot otpiemoer lie captured Paduch, on which depended the control of the Ohio River, and practically determined on which side Kentucky woidd be formally ar rayed, un tne Yin oi iovemter tne noiiy contested battle of Belmont was fought ana won, and after Confederate arrived. General Grant was told by the excited staff officer, "we are surrounded!" he coolly replied, "well if that is true, we must cut. our way out ai we cut our way In.

And they did it. On February 13, 1862, came the movements at jrort uonaiason, wmcn was stiongiy lortineu and garrisoned by 21,000 men, while the- forces under Grant numbered about 22,000. At day light on the morning of the 16th the active work of the se ge began. Although the battle raged all day darkness came on wlih the issue undetermined, isexi morning iooau generate loya ana r-iiiow neeing wicn many troops, andGenei al Buckner sent to ask Grant's terms Then it was that Grant wrote the words that Inspired the country with hope, courage and determination; "No terms except immediate and unconditional surreuder caa be accepted. I propose to moVe immediately upon your works." This was the message tuat went back to Buckner from the brave leader, and the brilliant "enlevement to which it re.

a ted won for him the fiiimmidflion of Maior General. On the 61 and 7th of April 1SC2, in command of an armv of 33.000 men he foncht the famous battle of Shiloh against a Confederate force of nearly 40,000. On the first day, General Alb- rt Sidney Jounson was killed, but the Confederate forces were still aggressive, and the crreat slaughter of Union soldiers caused mauy of Grant's staff to tremble in considering the final result Here, again the majestic courage of the man was shown in nis reassuring declaration. "I have not dt spared of wbinntjiir them yet. The victory cost th Union army 12,000 men, and it la doubtful if there was anymore severe fighting during the war.

Unappreciated by Geueral Halleck. he was kept almost idle for a time, bnt by November he was at work in Mississippi and commenced the seige of Vicksburg. At ths time, however, many newspapers ciamerea tor nis removal, Dut oir Lincoln said, rather like the man I think we'll trr a little longer." Even I of ministers were sent to Wnnhine ton to ask for Graut's emoval on acoouut of his With a characteristic twinkle in his eye, the large-hearted and liberal-minded Lincoln repl-eo "Tell me where Grant gets his whisky, and I wi'l order a barrel fur all the KeoeraU in tne army During the 40 days seige Grant answered a taunting question of "when do you expect to get into vicksburg" by saying, "If annoi tell exactly, when I "(all take town, but I intend to stay here until I oo it, ifit takes me thirty years." On theSd of July the white flag went up above the Confederate fortifications, and on the 4th the town was unconditionally mu rendered. We thought Grant great then. His next exDlolta were in the west, where the departments of the Ohio, the Cumberland, and the Tenuesree were under bis command.

Let us suggest to the hay editor of the Herald, that J. G. Morse has about 400 head of cattle onhisranche, and that it will require about 200 tons of millet, 17,000 bushels of corn, and 600 tons of hay to run them over till next grass or market. Now jump on to this, Mr. Herald, and see how often you can multiply it by 25 or divide it by 25,000, and report progress next Christmas.

The "Douglas Express," is the way the knights of the rail termed it, as the old Wichita "bob-tail" rolled into Florence Tuesday evening. This train runs through to Douglas from this place now instead of going to Kingman, and the Cannonball does local work from here west. This gives two trains a day each way between this point and the terminus of the El Dorado branch. John Downes returned home from Boston and other eastern points Monday, apparently satisfied with Kansas. He says there are hard times and general discontent among the work inff classes in the east.

In one minute they transform you from a victim of convulsive laughter to a subject of the tenderest emotions.

The Tktbtjtne wishes to make due acknowledgements of the plucky en durance and national pride of the ladies of Florence who endangered their lives by marching in the procession to the grove on Saturday to attend the memorial services in honor of General Grant. Our readers will remember the death of a son of Mr. John Ryan about a year ago by an accident on the railroad. Mr. Ryan sued the company for damages and at a recent term of court in Wyondotte he was awarded $1650.

His lawyers took the odd change of $650, which leaves Mr. Ryan only $1000 clear. MRS GRUNDY SATS That Horner beats the world for amusement manager.

The annual school meeting for the Florence district was held at the 6th street school house Thursday after noon, and although the people were tardy in coming together the attend ance was fair and an active interest manifested. The meeting was called to order by S. W.

Howe, president of the Board. The reports of Treasurer Alexander and Clerk Morrison, for the-past year, show that at the beginning of last school year there were $881.43 in the treasury receipts from district taxes, state fund, bor rowed from the bank, $1,000, making a total of $6,579.91. The expend! tures for the year for teachers wages, building completions, furniture, improvement of grounds, repairs, fuel five hundred dollars paid on money borrowed, and minor expenses, were $6,545.36 leaving a balance in the treasury of $34.55. The meeting toted the same levy this year as last, that is, 10 mills for teachers' fund and 10 mills for incidental fund. The taxable property in the district last year was $203,200.

This year it reaches the valuation of $206,590. The $4,131.80 revenue this year from district taxation will be practically exhausted in paying the $500 and interest yet due the bank, $3,420 for teachers salary and $225 for janitor. This will leave only about $700 which comes from the state fund, at the disposal of the Board for coal and further improvement of grounds. There ought to be a thousand dollars spent on the school grounds during the next year instead of about four hundred, but the Board cannot be expected to carry on improvements beyond its resources. The fall term of the school will be opened on the 14th of September with the following corps of teachers A.

A youthful son of Charles Sharp, "at Marion was "fooling" with an old musket last Saturday, and as usual it went off, shooting his mother and brother, who were standing fifty yards away. The mother was wounded in the face, breast, abdomen and lower limbs, while the boy was peppered from his hips up the back' to the crown of his head, no less than seventy five shot entering the bodies of the two. The mother has had slight hemorrhage of the lungs and her wounds may prove fatal.
