the day, which in many states has
been constituted holiday, in order
to allow the people to make a fitting

r. on one side. and the merchants
on the other. If an appropriate cele-
bration of the day will be observed
by the G. A. R. tnen the merchants
should set aside, at least one-half of
that day as a holiday. But a few
years hence and the old soldier will
have passed away. And to keep
