DELORATION DAY.
low IL Was Observed iu Kiprvood


In spite OF tbe. had weather for
the past three weeks, it was on its
good behavior yesterday and the
day was AZ very 6ue one. All fore
noon people kept coming in from
every direction until the town was
full OF visitors, and it Is estimated
that there were two thousand here.
AT / o clock the procession formed
IN front OF the Court IIouse, and
beaded by the Mozart Band, march
ed to the Cemetery. At the Acade.
my the students and school chill
dren joined the procession.
The Grand Army service was
rendered by the officers OF the Post
here, and all the old soldiers
graves were beautifully decorated
with an abundance OF lovely flow.
ers prepared by the Floral Com
mittee. After the services at the
Cemetery, the procession marched
to the Court House and packed it
full, and u great many could MOI
get in. Neil j. Fortney, Esq, was
chairman of the meeting and INTRO
duced the speakers. The Post was
presented with very beautiful
pyramid OF flowers, which was af-
forwards presented to j. b. Nc
Ginnis, of townsville, who is a
member of the Post.
The first speaker was Prof, Rufus
Holden. Principal of the schools
here. His able and scholarly add
dress was listened to with the closest
attention and heartily applauded.
After music by the Band, several
young ladies gave rotations, as
follows
1.-The Old Cantecn"-Miss Min
nie Murdoch.
"Battle of Lookout Mountain"-
Miss Nellie Goodwin.
1.-The Crippled Soldier Hiss
Grace Orr.
Then LITTLE Ethel Bosley recited
very well for one so young. A class
of little children, from Miss Laura
Parks school, sang 1--WE Old Boys"
in a way that brought down the
house. Charley Jackson acclaimed
"Sheridan's Ride"
After this, Hon. Stuart f. Reed,
of Clarksburg, WAS introduced and
made an eloquent and patriotic ad
dress. lie was heartily cheered
and made Il very favorable impress
sion on our people, who hope to
have the pleasure Of listening to
Mr.. Reed again. His fine appear
auce and scholarly address quite
won the hearts of our fair sex, and
when they learned that he is IL bach
elor and still at large, they insist
that hs first visit here shall not be
his last.
All in all. Kingwood's Memorial
Services were grand success in
every particular, and it was much
better than going off to Grafton
and spending money to see horse
races, fighting, drinking and "a
general decoration of the day.
Decoration Day in KIngwood is
now an established success and will
be observed with renewed interest
and "A larger crowd every year, and
keeps hundreds of dollars at home
that otherwise would be spent out
of the county.

History of Ouinine
