To-day, throughout the length and
breadth of the United States, the citizens
will assemble and do honor to the men,
ory of the departed heroes of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The presence in
this city of four G. A. R. posts, two
camps of Sons of Veterans, and four
Women's Relief corps was assurance
enough that the day would be creditably
observed here, and the committees that
were appointed to make all the arrange
ments have done considerable work, and
are deserving of the highest praise. The
services will be conducted on the plan
which has been observed in former
years. The various posts will assemble
in the morning at their respective head
quarters, and will march to the ceme-
teries, one OF which has been assigned
to each division. There they will dec
crate the graves of the dead soldiers, and
also hold memorial services.
At / 80 p. NJ. the grand procession
through the streets will take place under
the direction of Department Commander
Geo. E. Gard, who has consented to
serve as Marshal of the Day. The reti-
nue. will consist of all members OF the
G. A. r. and Mexican veterans, and the
line of march will be as follows: Main
street to junction Of Main and Spring
streets Temple Block, thence down
Spring to Fourth, thence to Main, and
Lo
There the literary exercises will be held,
and the following programme rendered: :
Music by Seventh Infantry Band.

the Post Commanders, the Committees,
and all those who are to support the pro-
gramme. The members OF the Relief
Corps will occupy the body OF the house,
the loges will be filled by the Mexican
veterans and the crippled Grand Army
men, and the boxes by the officers OF
the Sons OF Veterans, the members of
the G. A. R. posts being accorded seats
in the balcony. The public will have to
be contented with the gallery and all
other spare seats, circumstance which
is very unfortunate, but could not be
helped, as the wheelmen had secured the
Pavilion.
