The Memorial day Of 1890 has come aud
gone and its observance in this town was
satisfactory in every respect. Agreeably
IN previous announcement the procession
was formed at q. A. r. hall under direction
of Marshal stowe, and proceeded to the
cemetery where the ritualistic services
were duly performed and the several
graves beautifully decorated. One of the
most interesting features of the ceremony
in the cemetery was the part performed by
43 little girls, representing the ~ states
aud District of Columbia Each little girl
recited an appropriate verse and then
placed "a wreath upon pyramid. Much
praise is due to the ladies who had this
part of the program in charge. The dinner
was then served in the hall Of the post, and
owing TO the non arrival of the orator of
the day, Hon James l.. Martin, until about
2 o'clock, the exercises at the church were
rendered little later than usual, but no
one experienced any WEAKNESS for the
Cornet band took the opportunity to dis
course "a number of selections, and that the
excellent music was fully appreciated goes
without saying. Converting at the church,
after vocal selection by the quartet and
invocation Of divine blessing, S. IL. Lazelle
of Dover, president of the day, made open
ing remarks introducing Mr.. Martin, who
pronounced an Grafton which was at once
appropriate and instructive. While the
speaker was not soldier himself he is the
faithful friend of the soldier, and ever
evinces spirit of true patriotism. The
address was listened to with marked inter
est by all After music the benedictiOn
was pronounced aud the people returned to
their homes feeling that the day had been
one of pleasure and profit
