Union Memorial Day occurs Friday, May
S0th, when the graves Of soldiers, who fell in de-
Tense Of their country, will be with flowers.
Not one Of these should be neglected, and we hope
and believe that the people generally will show
their respect for the fallen heroes who died that
the Union might live, by placing upon their
graves those tokens Of love and emblems of purity
Natures choicest gifts. Even the most lowly
should not be forgotten, and we hope that all may
have this most beautiful tribute paid them. +.
We inadvertently stated two weeks ago that
all trade licenses must be renewed before May
goth. We should have said May LIST. In this

to 'stand us up" severely, and we feel duly pun

made a mistake during the whole course of its
existence; hence it thinks it has right to act as
censor for all the other newspapers. Well, if it
is able to extract any "fun" out of the business
we don't feel disposed to be captious about it.
Let it sail in.

eral receptacle for dead dogs, cats, &C., while the
woods surrounding have been turned into dump
ing ground for all the 9Th of the town, and the
efiuvium which arises therefrom is simply hor-
