DECORATION DAY-To-day TUESDAY,
May 3Oth) is observed as Decoration or
Memorial Day in commemoration of the
deeds OF fallen comrades OF the Grand
Army of the Republic. In places where
posts of the Grand Army exist services
are conducted under their direction by
displaying flags at half-mast, strewipg
flowers upon the graves of the dead, ora
tons, prayers and other exercises. In
most of the large towns and cities the
day is observed as general holiday. In
Phoebe nothing has been done in the
way of celebrating the day, there being
so few citizens residing here who were
connected with the army during the late
civil war.
CELEBRATION OF FOURTH OF JULY.-It
is now almost time that our citizens
were taking steps toward the proper
celebration of the Centennial Fourth of
July. Nothing has been done yet in
regard to it, except by the Lexington
Guard and the fire companies. The
outside world are under the impression
that there will be no celebration in
Phoebe, the Enterprise having mentioned
the same as q fact. 1t will not do for
Phoebe to allow the 4th of July, 1876, to
pass by without the proper observance
of the one hundredth anniversary. As
the various fire companies meet on
Friday next, it will be we'll for them to
start to work on their programmes foi
the celebration.
