Dexter Is Unable to Locate Its Government Cannon, The G. A. R. post, of Dexter, has been unable to settle the location of the cannon received from the general government and for which the citizens of the village raised $90 for a pedestal. There seems to be two factions in the post neither one of which is disposed to give in to the other. One wants the monument erected on the village park and the other at the cemetery. The monument would undoubtedly have been erected on the village park had the council allowed the cannon to come to the end of the point, so that if a person stepped off the walk he would run against it. Bat the council wanted the monument set seven feet back and trouble arose. It would have been dedicated last Fourth of July had it not been for an inability to settle the location. It was to have been settled in time for Memorial day this year, but that date has passed and Dexter is yet without its cannon. May the matter be straightened out during the coming month. The cannon is a siege gun accompanied by 12 balls.
