The Graves of Our Dead Soldiers
Decorated.

We Americans have in the past been
charged with coldness and indifference,
at least 80 far as outward manifesto
tions go, to the memory of our dead -
This is true no longer, but rather the re-
verse, for no other people have honored
their lost ones whatever may have been

national holiday. On the evening Of
the 20 b 1t became evident to the habit
ues OF the court house portico, that the
ladies OF our town we're in motion and
for purpose. There was music in the
air, there was a suspicion of floral wealth
In the form OF wresths in fair hands all
of which was to take firm on the NOR
row.
Sometime after ten o'clock on the

order on motion Prof WATSON was cho-
sen chairman. Judge OKEY was first call
ed on to address the meeting. He PRO.
ceeded to give an unpretentious review
Of our military history from the Revo
luton down to the great Rebellion, com
meniing on the moral significance of the
events of which he spoke. The NJ Il
speaker was the Hon. JAMES R. NORRIS,
who spoke with old time eloquence OF
the duties of the nation TO its soldiers
aud OF the pathetic events Of the war
Mr.. MoRRls was followed by Capt. Wat.
son who addressed the meeting with
something OF genuine military entbu'
siasm. The Capt. thought there was no
need OF lncal enac.ments to make this
day observed, that its Statutes like Ger.
tain higher ones were written in the
hearts OF our Ieople. Soon after this
the audience formed themselves into 9
procession with the band and the young
ladies' bearing the decorations at theiI
head, and moved in solemn pace to the
cemetery, the band playing appropriate
marches.
Arrived at the ground the floral COM

grave.
During this part Of the ceremony the
national hymn "0ur country It's Of thee
and the Decoration Ode were sung with
in pressive effect.
