There does not seem to be "Lfe or pa
triotism" enough here for the observance
of decoration day. 1t is shame, that in
so few years, the name and services of the
soldiers should be forgotten, but such is
the case. We regret that those who were

sacrifices, on this national holiday. We
are inclined to think that the article in the
daily GLOBE, of May II, is quite applica-
BILE to all such towps. No truer, drawer or

memories should never be forgotten, and
in no better way can we cherish and per-
petuate their names. than by the ceremon.

thought that on that day nation bows in
sorrow and reverence at the tombs of its
patriot dead, and in natures spring time,

shall not only speak the hallowed affec-
tions ofIelatives and friends, but noble
sentiments OF nations lasting gratitude
to mariyred SONS of freedom. J.o.tw.
