Last Sabbath was childrens day through
out the entire jurisdiction of the M. T..
church. II was appropriately observed by
the M. Z. society of this village. The pull
pit and orchestra of their church were beau
tifully decorated with flowers, ferns, et.;
while from nearly every window were hang
ing cages of birds, including a parrot and
innumerable singing canaries, whose laudable
efforts to outdo each other filled the editce
with volume of music which was no less
an evidence of JOY and gladness, than the
happy faces of the children. The sermon
of the morning was preceded by appropriate
remarks by the pastor, as TO the day and its
observance. which is of Methodist origin

THE SOLDIERS REUNION.

The fifth annual reunion of the Van Bu-
rem County Veteran Corpse. was held at the
Lake of the Woods. Decatur, on thursday
and Friday Of last week. There was the
usual big crowd the second day, but owing
TO various causes. which ie is unnecessary To
detail. the meeting was not in all respects as
successful as had been expected. II is to be
hoped that the errors of the occasion may
be remembered and avoided at future meet
ings.
Lake of the Woods is beautiful sheet OF
water bordering on the northwestern limits
of Decatur. The grove where the reunion
was held is situated on the eastern shore.
and is owned by Mr. l.. ID. Roberts. who do
mated the use of the ground. BY noon Of
Thursday. there was a good showing of sol
diers. and with proper management success
would have been assured from the outset
AS il was the day was passed very pleasantly.
Toward evening few speeches were made,
and the Glendale cornet band and the Deca-
tur martial band contributed some inspiring
music.
The second day found large concouise Of
people in attendance. The weather war al
that could have been desired. and TO the cas-
ual observer. the delightful music of the re-
nowned Constantine band. the flying flags,
the uniformed soldiery, the busy throng Of

hand and only prudent oversight was re
uuired TO assure Il. After dinner the Con

and very soon after arriving there the exer-
cises began Mai. .. w. Rowland delivered
an address, replete with passages which re-
vived in vivid manner the incidents of the
field and camp, and everyone who heard il
must have departed feeling new degree of
patriotism. The address throughout was well
written, and the delivery was clear and intel
gent. The Constantine band followed with
several beautiful selections which were loudly
applauded. Dress parade, which had been
previously announced, was then held, but IT
was hardly to be deemed success. Thus
terminated the exercises, and the reunion az

the general officers from the grounds and in
