Decoration Day was appropriately OBJ
served here. A procession was formed
at o'clock at corner of Main and Arch
streets, Col. J. NJ. Lewis acting as Chief
Marshal. The procession consisted of
GAINESVILLE bands, Hilles Post G. A. R.,
Decoration committee, Knights of Pyth-
las in full uniform, Sunday schools, and
citizens in general. The Decoration
committee consisted of seventy-six
young ladies, all dressed in black, half
their nun1ser carrying flowers in bloom,
and half wreaths of evergreen. The
Southern cemetery was first visited, and
flower encircled bv wreath planted
on the grave of each dead hero. The
procession then moved to Green Mount
cemetery, and the grave of each soldier
there visited in the same manner. The
arrangements for the day were perfect,
and everything passed off pleasantly.
A festival under the auspices of Miss
Swaney's Missionary Band, an organiza-

cream and strawberries. Owing to the
fact that the rain fell in torrents until a
late honr, the attendance was not as
large as it would otherwise have been,
but all who were present report an en-
joyable time. The net proceeds were
about thirty dollars.
