 Memorial Day.
 The program for memorial day will be the same as the one adopted last year, which was found to bring things around on better time than that of any previous year. Its success, however, is dependent largely on sharply observing the hour fixed for each exercise. At a. m. Winter Post and Citizens Band will start for Staf ford Hollow, and will decorate the graves at Sandy Knoll at g, at Statfordville at 1O.3O, at Stafford Street at 11.45. Return ing to Stafford Hollow collation. will be served. At 2 p. m., sharp, those to make up the procession will gather at borough hall. The procession will form in Hay market Square and start at 2.3O, consist ing of band, veterans, fremen, T. of H., and such other societies as will join, school children and citizens. Veterans, not G. A. R. men, cordially invited to fall in for the march to Stafford Springs cemetery, where suitable exercises will accompany the decoration, Rev. A. E.. Drew offering prayer. Returning collation. will beserved at G. A. R. hall to band, firemen, veterans and their wives. The graves at the west cemetery and ht the Roman Catholic cem- etery will be decorated by a detail.
 At p. m. exercises will be held at Oronoco hall, the orator, as before an- nounced, being John l.. Bowen of Spring field, and of the 37th Mass. regiment, end whose address, we have good reason to know, will be loc lily interesting and his torical.
