many brave and noble men lost their
lives. He also stated the reason Of
the action Of the Lodge of Odd Eel
lows in making it one of memory
throughout the length and breadth

was not of long duration, but was
pointed and made an impression on
the hearers which will never be for
gotten. Now came a Decoration
song, by the Choir and singing class.
The assemblage then arose and sung
the Doxology and repaired to the Of
fee of w. w. Booher whore all were
supplied with flowers and the pro-
cession formed in line and marched

the graves Of departed members and
friends of that Order were becomingly

see that none were missed. After
memorial songs the people were again
formed In line and marched back 70

Great praise is due the Order for
the interest they manifested in max
ing the day one Of memory to the de-

The Order extends thanks to the
public generally for their participa.

cises the grand success which they
proved to be, public acknowledgment
of which will be made hereafter.
