MEMORIAL DAY

MEMORIAL DAY
To Be Observed ON n scale Heretofore I'm
known-The Programme.
The efforts Of the comrades of Holiday
Post, continued during the past several
weeks, to make to-morrows ceremonies ex-
Gel those of any previous Decoration Day,
and approach to what the day Was orlsl-
nally intended to be and what It really
should be, are being ably seconded by old
soldiers without the limits of the Post, and
citizens generally, aud Old Probs permit
ting, we shall zee a parade which
shall be entirely creditsble to our city.
1t is the earnest desire OF those having the
ceremonies in charge that citizens of all
conditions and of sll political beliefs,
whether soldiers OF not enter fully into the
Observance of the day in a broader sense
than that usually obtaining, the idea
being that a custom 80 beautiful as
the houcring of the departed and
beautiiyiug OF their last resting place should
not be confined to soldiers, but that the en-.
lire population should take advantage oil
he occasion to place upon the graves OF re-
ls,ions ard friends flowers, wreaths and
other tokens of love and respect
Another desire OF the members OF dolh.
day Post is that young men, the sons OF
veteran soldiers, take some steps to-day 70
organize and march in body IN to'morro"
parade. The presence Of such in the column
would be particularly appropriate, aud 1t Is
70 be hoped the request will be met by
favorable response :,

joseph Barker was issued last night:
