We don't think there is any lack of
solid loyal sentiment in this community,
and yet it does seem sometimes rs If
its expression was hopelessly tied down
to certain conditions it could not
enthuse except under the excitement of
of parade. Haunting banners, martial
music, and the flowery words of pro-
fessional speakers whose motives too
often are only self aggrandizement or
political aspiration. We have nothing
to say against all these stirring accom-
paniments, but protest that patriotic
duty ought not to depend on them.
This thought is suggested by the Dec
Grafton day occasion just passed. For
twenty years or more the remains of
nelghbors and friends who gave their
lives for their country have been lying
in the cemeteries aboutus. Within that
time other comrades have joined their
silent ranks, till now goodly company
has gone from our midst to swell the
host of loyal spirits gone before. For
years, all over this broad land of ours,
a grateful people have given expression
to their gratitude by consecrating one
day OF each year to paying floral tribute
to the memories of deceased soldiers.
The good people of Lancaster never
omit it. Likewise Boscobel and other
towns around us. But here,-shame to
the carelessness or thoughtlessness that
permitted it mo move, Jill now, has
ever been made to render any such
honor to the dead soldiers whose graves
should be our special charge in this
respect. Finally, however, in quiet,
transformations way, the plan has been
taken in hand by few who would not
allow the disgrace of longer delay, and,
the first time since laid to rest, the re-
mains of our fallen comrades have had
Decoration day flowers strewn over
their graves. Several ladies gathered
flowers and made wreaths and bouquets,
while half dozen members of the G..
A. X. post, after good deal of search,
procured the necessary rigs, and then
started out on their rounds. mo. /"
''Switzer," ''Rock School House." and

visited in order, with the result that
the graves of sixteen soldiers were found
and decorated. The following is the
list. If any graves were missed it was
because they were not marked and
were unknown to the party:

Should this article come under the
eye of any one who knows of other SOL
der graves in the neighborhood. the
G. A. r. post will be glad to be in
formed, as they propose to keep as ac-
curate and full a list as possible for use
hereafter.
This Decoration matter has been
deemed so timely topic to impress on
this community, and the item taken so
much of your space, that the usual local
topics must be omitted this time. Every
body complains of close times and slow
collections, but good degree of activity
prevails in the village. Building enter
prises are booming and general trade
seems good for this season. -"
