'Desire To say that another memorial
day has passed and was duly observed by
Garfield post and kindred organizations,
civic societies and the public in general.
I'VE therefore take this public way to
thank company A, Second regiment Kan
sas national guards, Battery A Light
Artillery, Uniform Rank Knights of
Pythias and the Knights of Maccabees for
their gallant escort. We sincerely thank
them and the citizens in general, and we
mention those in particular for the dona-
tion of those beautiful flowers, the ladies
who prepared them and the company of
children who distributed them upon the
graves of our dead comrades. the bright
array of children who sang so sweetly at
the Auditorium, led by that splendid
musical director, Miss Jessie l.. Clark.
I'VE rejoice that the people We're SO
willing and anxious TO do honor to
the day and cause, that the spacious
auditorium was crowded to It's utmost
capacity by the old soldiers and the gen.
ersl public, that the National Guards aud
L. K. X of p. and the knights OF Mac
cabee were deprived OF the privilege of
hearing that masterpiece OF orhtory de-
lvered by our toNnSman, the Rev. Don ,.
Colt. whose brilliant thoughts ana burn
ing words in his portrayal of the stirring
scenes from 1861 TO 1860, not only filled the
hearts of the old veterans with patriotic
enthusiasm, but aroused the patriotism
and love for the dear old flag in the hearts
OF everyone present in the vast audience.
