 The Grand Army post held memorial services in honor of the late l.. E. Sweet at their hall, Sunday afternoon. And these memorial services touch me as being most decidedly pathetic and lm- pressive.

And one by one the old veterans are dropping out. Another 10 years and the circle will be much mar rower than it is to-day. And in 20 years but few feeble, tottering aged ones can possibly be left.
