We often hear them say: “Since we have been trading with this firm we have no occasion to say, all my money is gone, and not half my wants supplied.” They are invariably surprised at the excellent quality and large quantity of goods they buy from us with a small amount of money.

Dedication and Dance at the New K. of P. Hall Friday, the 29th, The Knights ot Pythias have finally fixed on Friday next as the day when their new hall will be formally dedi- cated, and the event will be. appropri- ately celebrated by a grand ball in the evening. Grand Chancellor E. A. Milham and Grand Keeper of Rec- ords and Seals Fred E. Wheaton will be here to conduct the impresstve cere- monies, and it is expected that other officers may accompany them. Grand Chancellor Milham is also colonel of the Second regiment of the Uniform rand, and Mr. Wheaton is adjutant of its contemporaries—the Review— and today appears as the HEraLp— Review, combinmg all the strength, circulation, business, good will and a large portion of the Review material into one paper, and the result, we feel sure, will be most gratifying to both advertising patrons and subscribers of Grand Rapids papers. The manager of the Heratp has long realized that the field here did not justify the pubh- cation of there newspapers and could not profitably sustain three job offices, and consequently took advantage of an opportunity offered to purchase the Review and make a consolidation of the two papers. By thus combin- ing the circulation of the Herald and Review it goes without saying that as an advertising medium this paper will have no equal in Itasca county. As was shown by affidavit before the county commissioners in January last, the number of papers printed and cir- culated each week to paying subscrib- ers by the Herald: was nearly twice that of either the Magnet or Review Shad.

With the addition otf considerable material to the plant and a constant increase in business the Heratp-RE- view found it necessary to secure lar- ger and more convenient quarters, and this week the office has been _re- moved to the Lent block and occu- pies the entire south half of the ground floor of that building, and _to- day we can justly lay claim to having general. colonel will inspect Itasca division.

CUM DECORATION DAY. F. B. Huson Post, G. A. R., Will Pay Fit- ting Tribute to the Memory of Their Dead Comrades. Next Saturday will be the anniver- sary of one of the greatest of Ameri- can holidays. The day dedicated by the nation to solemn memorial ‘sery~ ices in honor of her sons who gave up their lives that she might hve. Th: simple fact that it is Decoration Day should be enough to cause a general suspension of business all over the land and a general joining of all the people, heart and hand, in_honor- ing and perpetuating the memory of our dead heroes and of their great deeds. It is indeed fitting that their last resting places should be decorated itis that their memory and that of their patriotism, which counted life given for their country as naught, should be enshrined in the hearts of the people, and their story told and retold to the youth of the land, till the fire of imitation of their great ex- ample be kindled and kept burning in the hearts of each succeeding genera- tion, to last while this republic endures. Never had any land such soldiers as sprang to arms from farm, factory and desk when the flag was fired on in ’61, and never did the world behold such a titame contest as that fought out from ’61 to ’6s till the rebel flag went down at Ap- pomatiax, and there was _ no slave left under the flag that floated over a re- deemed, regenerated land, washed clean of the foul blot of human slavery in the blood of its best and bravest sons. It is fitting, indeed, that the nation should hold in never dying remembrance and ever increas- ing love the memory of her goodly sons, “who dead, are her living crown of glory.” tneir deeds should be told in song and } story from every forum, pulpit and printing press in the land, Fittest of all it is that the young should be taught the lesson of patriotism their deaths so well inculcates till they regara it as the greatest of earthly honors to be citizens of the country that could produce such men as the citizen soldiers of ’61, and the greatest of earthly good fortune to fall heir to the opportunity of giving their lives for their native land, as. did the patriots who died in the harness in the nation’s hour of peril. Through the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic an anrual address is issued to the comrades of the country and the ! response is unanimous throughout the United States. How different are the orders issusd in these days of peace when compared with those promul- gated by the commander of the with fragrant flowers, but most fitting | ’ Fitting it is that in |# each recurrance of Decoration Day armies in the dark times of the room. ‘The other changes to take place are the rearrangement of the stock rooms and closets, the putting in of water throughout the building, together with plate glass window fronts. ‘here is certainly not a more progressive busmess man in Grand not only the best equipped outfit trom!

No Pine Sales This Year. Owing to the demoralized condi- tion of the lumber trade and the heavy rains, State Auditor R.C. Dunn has made up his mind not to have any pine sales this year. This will be the first year in the state’s history when these sales have been missed.
