Never was there such a demonstra
tion of patriotism and loyalty as ex
hibited in this city on Memorial Day
All along the route Of parade our
people seemed to vie one with an.
other in making fine display of the
grand old stars and stripes. while at
the Royal Palace Cafe handsome
arch decorated in metropolitan style
and surmounted by a life size figure of
a general of the war. attracted the
attention and admiration of every
body. At the cemetery gates the S. of
V. had very pretty arch of evergreen
in honor of John ID. Bertolette Post.
4S4, G.. 4. r., while inside the silent
city Of the dead was vertible flower
garden of beauty, and the air was
literally laden with the fragrance of
the thiclSly strewn flowers ON the
graves Of those who have been called
hence. Moving from the Lehighton
cemetery to the Gnaden Hutton Gene
terry the same scene of beauty predomi-
nated-the patriotic, liberty-loving
people of our city evidently having ex-
hausted every flower bed in town and
community to 10 fun honor to the
day and to commemorate the memory
of friends and relatives who are no
more with us, but who now sleep the
last long sleep that knows no waking
this side of the tomb,
1t was sharp two o'clock when the
parade formed, under the excellent
Marshalship Of William Mccormick,
