THE NATIONS DEAD.

vices.
We think that it can safely be said
that the exercises held in observance
of Memorial Day were a decided sue
cess. Although at times the clouds
were little threatening, our people
were out in large numbers, not few
coming from out of town. The roads
were not dusty, and the partly cloud
ed sky kept off the heat of the sun.
And so it seems that nature was aid
ing us in our efforts to keep a day in
honor of our departed dead, inasmuch
as she sent the rains to lay the dust,
and cast veil over the face of the
sun, thus allaying the intensity of its
heat, two circumstances which add
much to such exercises as are wont to
take place ut such a time.
And another thing too which is quite
important to an undertaking of this
sort, as well as of all sorts, is prompt
ness and it was with promptness that
Chief Marshal Bowman and his aids,
Messrs. w. F. Kelley, VIM. c. Tyler,
and F. G. Bundy, began ut about one
o'clock to arrange the procession.
This was in the following order:
