MEMORIAL DAY.

The suns brightness was veiled by
low hanging clouds which were in
harmony with the solemnities Of the
day, and nature herself seemed to bow
down in solemn reverence to the sac
red memory of those we met to honor.
AT about 10 o'clock the streets were
thronged with people, who came to
observe the solemn carmonies of the.
day. and to take a part therein. Mar
shall music was furnished by j. NJ.
Stickley, Geo. Wicks, Elmer Carpen-
ter, and Will Burger.
AT about II o'clock the children who
We're to take part in the children's ex-
ercise of the day, marched from the
Hotel De Spears to the church where
a waiting audience welcomed their
coming. They began their service by
singing "The Song of the Flag" which
i
'was q very impressive part in the
\ program. Mrs. Spears then read a
nbrtion of scripture, which was fol-
iewed by prayer, by Rev. Norval. A.
ter a song by the choir, Rev. Norval
delivered an address to the children.
Then followed recitations, declama-
ltions, and songs, in which several lit
| tie folks took part. at the close OF
this service the audience sang, Amer
ica" and dispersed to meet again at
| 1oclock to conclude the services of
Che day.
The memorial grafton was delivered
by Rev. u. II. Youngman, of Woan.
Socket, and was a credit to himself,
ssnd comrades, and was well received
by the large and attentive audience
that filed the church to its utmost
capacity.

how through the mighty conflict that

Wrought the army of the Union

thought, mot for the extinction OF
slavery, alone, but for the preservation
Of the Union" Ii the South thought
that slavery holding was right and
a liberty, it WAS "the right to do wrong,
and the liberty to oppress.'
He sighted a few of the great men
whose deeds and influence were q bless
ing to the nation in its struggle; how
we should honor those whose hair and
beard had become white with the
frosts of sorrow, and army privations.

are no subdistrlcts under the present

The voters present at the opening of
the polls should choose a Judge and

the closing of the polls, should place

same. Another tally sheet should be

election to the persons receiving the
highest number of votes, who should

of July following the election.
The old school board should also
meet in July, settle with the outgoing

approve bonds of officers elect, and
then turn over books and papers to
them.
