Sunday memorial services were held
at the NJ. E. church yesterday, the G.
a. r. Post, the w. r. Corps, the Sons
of Veterans, the Odd Fellows and the
citizens attending in large numbers.
The sermon was specially appropriate
for the occasion. The speaker com
pared the heroes of rebellion times
with the valiant Hebrews in the days
of Joshua, and drew lessons that ought
to be useful to all present. The house
was finely decorated with plants and
flowers. The union services in the ev-
ening were made appropriate to me-
mortal day.
FL. L. Doyle, who has run the Amer
lean House here the last three years,
has rented the Newport House
in Newport for five years and will
move there as soon as the house is
fitted and repaired. Mr.. Doyle has
run an excellent house in this place
and his patronage has increased con-
stantly until the commercial traveller
trade and much other business cen
tiers at his house. The hotel has been
orderly, neat and free from the scent
and disgrace of the down cellar or
back room bar. Mr.. and Mrs. Doyle
have had an experience in hotel keep
ing that bespeaks well for their sue
cess at Newport. We wish them well
in their new field Of labor.
