GET TWO MORE GUNS

SENATOR McMILLAN SO NOTIFIED COL. H.S. DEAN.

These will be Cannon of the Civil War. - If the Common Council will Pay Freight.

Some time ago Col H. S. Dean applied to the war department for a Spanish cannon to be issued to the G. A. R. post at Ann Arbor, but the answer came that it could only be done by an act of congress. Nevertheless several were assigned to each state under the disposition of the governors.

Another letter was written to Senator McMillan, who informed Col. Dean that there are two large guns of the civil war assigned to Ann Arbor, and would be delivered whenever ordered.

Here is a chance for the Ann Arbor aldermen to go to Chicamauga Park and inspect the cannons. If they are all right, they can return with a report to accept the guns and pay the freight for transporting them to Ann Arbor.

No doubt these and a nice fountain would greatly beautify the court house square.
