 The raising of the flag staff and flag in this village was quite an interesting event. The flag staff, a very fine looking one, over 40 feet above ground, was set up on Thursday evening, the 26th. In the work of raising, by some mistake, one end of the cord for raising the flag became detached and ran up through the pulley. A 30 foot ladder was set up and a heroic lad, Charlie Espeig by name, climbed to the top of the staff and re- adjusted the cord. It was a daring feat, as the paint on the staff was not fully hardened, and the upper part of the staff was very small. After the brave little fellow came down a collection was tax en for him, amounting to $2.49. The scheme of the purchase of this flag was begun by Master Willie Amidon. He procured some tickets and sold them for the object, and when the teachers and others found what he was doing they took hold with him, and citizens contributed until the needed amount was raised. Owing to the rain of the morning the exercises on Fri day afternoon were held in the Congre- gational church vestry. A large number attended. There was marching by the schools, with music by orchestra; prayer by Rev. W. L. Beard; address of pre- sentation by W. P. Amidon; acceptance by Alice Amidon; singing, Star Spangled Banner;" address by Rev. H. D. Adams music by orchestra; ;; address by MT. Sydney Smith; poem by Alice Bowden; singing, "Cheer, Cheer We the Flag" address by Rev. W. L. Beard; music by .orches- tra; address by MT. J. o. Booth; sing ing of America by all; three cheers for flag. The school then formed in line and marched to the school house, where the flag was raised, saluted and cheered. This ended the interesting exercises of the day.
