DECORATION DAY !
A LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE OBSERVE
THE DAY IN JACKSON

That was a fine crowd of people that
filled the streets and stores of Jackson on
last Saturday, waiting to become specta.
tors of the beautiful custom of decorat-
ing the graves of dead soldiers. People
from the country began to arrive early
and by nine o'clock the town presented
an unusually lively appearance. The
people from up the road came by way of
the o. S. Railroad, and did not arrive un-
til about eleven o'clock.
Early in the forenoon a detachment
decorate the soldiers graves there. About
nine o'clock the Francis Smith Post
marched to the old graveyard in the south
part of the town and conducted the dec
Grafton ceremonies there. 1t was after
eleven o'clock when the procession started
for the jamestown Cemeteries. AT the
old Cemetery there was some delay, CIV
ing the spectators time to look at some
beautiful decorations made by friends
and relatives of deceased soldiers. The
graves of Capts. Atkinson and Messenger,
and Lieutenant George W. Johnson, were
objects of great beauty, through the work
of friends. The tall grass in this Gene
terry made it very unpleasant getting
around and seeing the graves.
AS the procession was moving up the
hill to the new Cemetery, heavy rain
began to fall, and many persons broke
for the house and stable on the old 10.
Long farm. The G. A. r. boys, with the
Little 10 Band, however, marched steadily
up the hill, though all were thoroughly
drenched. The ceremony here was con-
Quoted at the grave of Col. David Dove,
of the I'd Va. Cavalry, and the salute was
fired by "Col. Dove Post" of Coalton, un-
der command of Capt. Tim. Evans, Irvine
DUNCAN acting as Chaplain, and Elder
Hendrickson pronouncing the benedic-
tion.
After the ceremonies at this Cemetery
the procession moved back to town, the
people going home for dinner. At two |
o'clock the Bands were out again, and |
the people congregated in large numbers
at Jones Hall, nearly filling the large |
room. The Little 10 and Military Bands
played on the inside, and the Silver Cor
net Band with their splendid new instru-
ments, made beautiful music in front of
the building, until the people were COM
fortably seated. Irvine DUNCAN then
read neat address. After music by the
Band, Judge Brewster, of Meigs County
the audience at some length,
paying beautiful tribute to the dead.
Following this was recitation by Miss
Ida Jones, which brought tears to many
eyes. The exercises here closed the pro-
yramme for the day. After all 1t was
lay well spent. There were some draw
packs to the success of the exercises,
notably the rain, which rendered going
,ut of doors very uncertain, but it was
lfter all good day spent in a glorious
work. The thanks of the G. A. r. Post
ire due to the Bands and the people, for
heir good work, and the thanks of the
people are due to the Post for getting up
he affair. Let US all resolve that the
lext Decoration Day will give still
,rander results.

flesh. New appliances were used after
reducing the fracture, and there will be
no malformatiOn, nor shortening of any
consequence. The operation was a
very successful one.
The fire which visited our town last
week was of unknown origin so far as
any one can tell. No fire or steam had
been used or left in the steam elevator
for many hours previous, and as yet
the origin of this blaze is mystery.
When the alarm was first given the
Nall Bros. could scarcely believe their
property was burning. Through the
combined efforts of the people all other
property laside from the elevator, its
contents and the railway windmill) was
saved. Had everything been very dry
or had the wind been little stronger,
no power could have kept the north
west part of the place from destruction.
This would have taken stores, hotels,
restaurants, offices and dwellings to the
number of nearly forty in all. This
would have cut out one of the best
parts of the city. While it is most I'M
fortunate that Nail Bros. suffer SO
heavy loss, it is indeed extremely
lucky for all others concerned. Is it
not time that steps were taken to pre-
vent the spread of fires here in the
future? Many things can be prepared
and so arranged on both sides of the
railroad track, that they could be made
available and used to advantage in case
a fire should break out.

Answer to Correspondence.

Our reformed contemporary at
tempts to enlighten two diaphanous
correspondents as to the meaning of
amateur; and sophomore. He
hunts up Webster and takes his arbi-
trary definitions, not knowing that
there is a much more general and eff
fective meaning given to those words.
For instance:
Amateur-An inferior worker in
anything, who imagines that he is just
a little bit the Smartest being in the
Universe. Illustration-The Reform
ed Editor who evidently thinks he has
the newspaper world by the seat of the
pants.
SophOmOre-An inflated fellow who
graciously condeScends to endure the
society of other people, bigger man
than his professor; fresher than the
freshman" An amateur in an eX-
aggerated shape. Considered harmless.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.
