/ Of the ceremonies which hallOw il, intensity
in interest as the graves increase and the
years multiply which separate Us from the
scenes which made the lives OF our COM
rades memorable. The faIress offerings of
this bright spring time, we will again bring
to their last resting places, TO testify TO the
nobility of love and affection they deserve
at our hands. From the o~zipounng of
grateful hearts, we select the words most
fitting 10 tell the story Of their lives. that
posierity may read in their deaths the true
virtue OF loyalty 10 flag and country. In :
land fer which. as citizen soldiers, they Of

Regard n every grave as 4 mausoseum
before which future generations will stand
with uncovered heads. The individual
soldier who sleeps within, however humble
his sphere in life, represents the grandes.
principle for which battles were fought since
the world began. The maintenance of that
principle in all its purity is the assurance of
the p~erpetuity of the Republic. The Union,
which was the gift of the soldier to the cit
izen. should be the inspiration of the citizen
to do honor to the soldier.
Comrades, all rally for muster to-day.
Come, with citations of reyerent love,
With beautiful flowers,
To honor the brave who lie
Peacefully sleeping around US

gas well brought in at Grapeyille knocks all
previous wells into the shade. The noise il
produces in sending out the gas is perfectly
deafening. No ploughing can be done in
the ~neighborhood of the well unless aboy
