The exercises OF Decoration day
were never more impressive here than
they were this year. The plan OF de-
voting the afternoon only to the OBJ
servance of the day has been proven
to be the better one. The people were
not tired and although the large
church whore the exercises were hol-
den, was crowded, and fully one
hundred persons standing outside, all
were quiet and the exercises through
out received the closest attention OF
the congregation. The excellent adj
dress delivered by he Rev, VIM. War
ner of Pawlet, VT, evidenced his sim
pathy and love for the veterans OF the
war. His father, who died from di-
sease contracted while in the service
was a member of Post Hazen. The
poem delivered by Rev. i. b. Phelps
of Irasburgh, gave universal salts
faction. Mr.. James Lawrence, Mr.. w.
l.. Kinsley, Mrs. Chas. Sawyer and
Mrs. II. Hill comprised the quartet
which sang so effectively three APP
propriate selections. Mrs. Cora Cool
edge presided at the organ. The thirty
veterans in attendance appeared 90
be deeply affected when Miss Gertrude
Parker stepped TO the front and sang
so sweetly the song entitled Farewell
Mother" At the conclusion OF the
exercises at the church the procession
marched to the cemetery and deoora-
ted the graves. The school children
wore wreaths made under the direc-
ton of their teachers Palladium.
