The people Of Hartland have voted, without
a dissenting voice, to loan the credit of the
town for five per cent of its valuation to assist in
building railroad from Pittsield to Hartand
The amount loaned is $4,000. The distance from
Pittsfeld to Hartland is about seven miles, in a
direct line toward Moosehead Lake. James Mitch
ell of Belfast, the contractor, was at the meeting
and Immediately sent for his engineer to look the
ground over preparatory to a survey. Work will
begin rs soon as practicable.
The people are enthusiastic. A number of the
leading men from Harmony were present and are
determined to push the road on to their town. 1t
is almost assured fact that Belfast will become
the terminus of road to the lake, which will also
connect with the Canadian line.

Rockland has formed a base ball club and pro
mises to raise fund of 5000 to support it. An
s0sta Watervillc and Skowhcgan also have clubs
and it is proposed with these, Rockland Bangor and

Memorial Day.

ITS OBSERVANCE IN BELFAST AND VICINITY.
May 30h the day set apart for honoring and
perpetuating the memory of the fallen heroes
who gave up their lives that the present genera
ton might enjoy the blessings of liberty and Il
united country, came sunday this year. In
many places the day is celebrated whatever
day of the week 1t may fall. In Maine if the day
comes on Sunday the exercises are usually post
poned to Monday.
The Memorial services in Belfast were conduct
ed at the Universalist church sunday the pastor,
Rev. q. w. jenkins delivering an appropriate ser
mon. The church was decorated for the occasion.
Two American ensigns depended from the arch of
the chancel and falling in graceful folds We're
Topped up on either side leaving the altar in the
centre. On the altar and in front Of it We're an
abundance of flowers and potted plants. A
prominent feature was a drapca portrait of Col.
Thos. II. Marshall. The choir sang some fine Sc
lections which were favorably received. There
was good attendance,
At 10 80 A. NJ Thomas H. Marshall Post left
their room and in a body marched 10 the church
taking reserved seats in front.
The pastors lesson was from the prophet Isaiah's
sayings; "And he shall judge among the nations
and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any
more. He characterized the war Of the rebellion
as holy, necessary, and culogized the defend
ers of their country. The sermon was patriotic
ana was well received. We shall publish it in full
next week.

this city the procession fell somewhat short of

fallen heroes. There is one thing in connec-
ton with the day. however. TO which our atten-
ton has been called, and which we hope to see
remeded another year There WAS Il profu-
sion Of flowers at the cemetery. but they Were
mainly on the graves and tomb, of civilians.
while the last resting places of some of those
who Wore the blue bore no bud or blossom,
but simply Il >prig of evergreen. This
ought not to be. Memorial Day is the day

the memories of those who fell in their colIn-

obtain should be >arredly devoted to the
adornment of their graves. There are many
other days in the year when flowers arc more
plentiful for decorating the graves of the near
and dear ones who died peacefully al home
surrounded by friends and kindred. Let Me-

and blossoms.

Memorial Day was observed here Monday the
3lst with the usual exercises at both cemeteries
and the monument in the forenoon, with the Grand
Army Republic service and an Grafton hv Rev {.
l.. Haskell at Union Hall in the afternoon Mr.
llaSkells address was poetic pointed and power
full. Some of his illustrations were very apt anil
called forth rounds of applause. After reading en-
tracts from the New York Times descriptive of the
late triumphal tour of Jen Davis through the sun
ny South the speaker said "When see and hear
and read such things it sometimes makes me al
most feel like backsliding." The speaker paid Il
high and worthy tribute to our honored dead, AMI
commended those living the widows and orphans,
to the care of the nation. More than fifty of the
comrades were in line, and the whole the obser-
vance of the day would rank well with any ever
held here. The Ladies Relief Corps did arduous
service in the preparations, and the floral mound
at the monument and special decorations in honor
of the unknown dead were wholly designed bv
their hands, and were very beautiful.

Memorial Day was observed by H. II. Bradstreet
Post in the following manner: The graves of all
soldiers within limits were decorated in the
forenoon, by comrades of the Post assisted by the
ladies Of J. W. Clark Relief Corps. The number
of graves decorated was about 1870. At2 z. NJ. the
comrades of the q. A. Il. and Relief Corps formed
into line at st. George hall and marched to the
church to the music of the fife and drum
and after the usual exercises of the order an adj
dress was delivered by Rev. Mr.. Blake of South
Montville. The house filed to overlooking
and nearly as many more were unable to gain adj
mittance. After the services banquet was held
at the hall where bountiful supply of substantial
food had been furnished by the Ladies Relief
Corps and the wives of comrades. 1t is said that
upwards of 300 partook of the repast The de
pertinent of the comrades and of all present was
splendid. No intoxicated person was seen in the
place on that day. The comrades of the Post take
this opportunity to thank the Rev. Mr.. Blake, the
Ladies Relief Corps and the Liberty choir for ser
vices rendered; also the Baptist society for the
privilege of holding services in the church.
