Columbus Day in Buffalo Township.

Friday, Oct. q, Columbus Day, will be
long remembered by the people of Buffalo
twp, more especially, perhaps, by the
children and young people.
As has been previously arranged, each
school left its respective school-house
at 8 o'clock, and proceeded in the form OF
procession, with the colors flying, to the
grove at the Kelly School House, where a
joint celebration was to be held. When
they reached the grounds a procession,
consisting of the two bands of the town
ship, The American Mechanics, and the
pupils of the schools, was formed. The
procession marched to Sarversville and
back to the grounds. The program, con-
sisting of songs, declamations, essays, and
performances by the pupils of the Schools
was then taken up, while the committee
on dinner prepared a sumptuous FEAST
the best we ever saw. After dinner was
over, the regular program was again taken
up and followed through to completion,
after which, some of the representative
citizens of the Township made good ad-
dresses. When everything had been
ended an hour or more was spent socially.
The pupils of tie different schools did
the five hundred or more per-
sons present, went home well pleased. 1t
was common thing to hear persons wish
that Columbus Day would come every
year.
The lasting good Of a meeting like this,
in cultivating patriotic love for this
gr nd American country, cannot be over
estimated. Especially is this true in re-
gard to the children and young people.
Their minds are apt and their hearts are
pliable, thus more easily receiving an i'm
preston
Let us hope that the celebration of Col
umbus Day throughout the length and
breadth of this great country, may be o.
grea, benefit in raising up mighty band
OF young people who shall ever stand by
the honored banner of lthe Stars and
Stripes.
