In connection with Memorial day we have noticed in years previous that at the observances held in the small vil- lages round about us, and in our own. that there was comparatively woefully small number of the s'nation's wards" visible. Compared with Circus day. Memorial day can't "get there" for bringing out this portion of the popu- lation, and this don't reflect much cred- it on the wards. F Perhaps they have not got the idea through some of their wooly pates that if those dead heroes, whose graves will be decorated on May 30, hadn't gone to the front when need cd they (the wards) would not be en- toying the liberty of which so many of them have such a peculiar idea. If there were no Memorial day, if there were no dead heroes in blue of that Southern battlefield, there would be a mighty slim attendance of our darker brethren at the circus and cattle-show.
 In 1898 there is not one foot of land in this glorious United States where every honest man, no matter of what color, does not have the privilege of equal liberty. In 1868 this was differ ent.
 There are many dead heroes in blue whose skin was not white but the wreath is no less tenderly laid on their graves, and the little star spangled ban ner floats no less conspicuously oyer them than it does on that of their white oompanions-in-arms who lie next to khAm

Our Grand Army Post is not large one, neither is it wealthy one, yet its members are an independent little body and have too much pride to solicit aid themselves for their observance of Me- morial day; and they are going to do what they can alone to revere the mem ory of their dead, unless some outside aid is offered. We admire their spirit. What sorrowful spectacle for our town it would be to have one of the old soldiers going around among the citi- zens asking help to fittingly commence rate the day set apart for the recogni- ton of that boy in blue who died for his country, or for the boy in blue who saved his country and has since gone to join his comrades in that Silent Army Noi It surely should not be left for the old soldier to solicit financial aid and since the town does not appropriate anything for him, or to remember his departed comrade, how worthy thing it would be for some citizen, (not vet eran) who enjoys the comfort and liber- ty that the stars and stripes afford, to take sheet of paper and go around and work the populance and see if we can't show the old soldier that he didn't save tho country or this little corner of it (Canaan) for an ungrateful generation to take possession of.
