was ono OF tho moat general and impress
siye ever seen in tho community. Not
only tho G. A. r. posts, woman's relief
corps, sons OF veterans and other atllia-
tod organizations, but tho populaco at
large, turned out and demonstrated the
general interest in the anniversary and
sympathy with tho motive and spirit OF
the celebration.
Better weather could not have been
desired, except that shade cooler than
81 in the shade would have been agscea-
bic.
Tho only feature lacking to make tho
observance common TO all the people
was the scarcity Of decorations. A few
houses were nicely adorned with flags,
bunting and suitable banners and Elm.
blens. but these only served to EN-.
phasize the absence OF general display.
The proiuse and artistic way in which
tho city building was decorated shono
OUT all the moro conspicuously for this
reason. The tasteful arrangement re-
aecsed great credit on Custodian Sam
Sloan, who has the satisfaction OF know
ing that his patriotic labor Of love was
all the more appreciated by the old sol.
diers and patriotic people for the reason
that this WAS the first ,ime in auybody's
recollection that the building was 80
beautitied on this anniversary.
The formal exercises OF the day
opencd with parade By Stephens post,
other South Side Socisties and the chill
dren OF the public schools to the cene-
;eries south OF the creek. where the
soldiers graves were strewn with flow
ers. and in Mt. Zion cemetery an i'm
pressive and appropriate programme
was rendered.
In the afternoon details OF mem
bers OF Holiday post, accompanied
by many ladies and citizens. visited
all the other graveyards, and decorated
the soldiers graves. Last evening At

were held, Hon. G. ". Atkinson deliver.
ing an eloquent and practical address.
