pointed by the Grand Army of the
Republic, for the purpose Of decorat
ing the graves Of the soldiers who lost
their lives during the late wor. This
is intrusted to the citizens where there
10 no post of the Grand Army, and we
hope our citizens will make II their
business to see to the due observance
Of this custom, which will probably
be observed long after those Of this
generation sleep with those they thus
honor. 1t might be we'll to have a
meeting of the citizens at the Court
House on some evening of this week,
to make it the duty os some particu-
lar ones to attend to the preliminaries,
because fer one reason, to quote an old
adsge: whats everybody's business
is nobody's business" and for another,
those who are appointed will have au-
thority from their fellow-citiEens. and
all will be better satisfied. The la
dies should all consider themselves
appointed a committee to furnish flow
ers for the occasion. If all work togeth-
er we shall have display which will
serve to keep in mind the heroes who
fell that the country might net perish.

couraged to announce.
