was all that could have been desired. An
organ was taken TO the cemetery, and singing

by Elder Lewis. The Knights of Pythias
joined with us in spreading flowers over the
graves of our fallen heroes. After the services,
the G.. A. X. and knights marched back To
the grove where good share of the people
took dinner, others going to their homes
and returning to hear the speaking. Address
