 Memorial Day in Stafford Springs was in all ways seemly. Perhaps the attrac- tions offered elsewhere drew away most of those to whom a proper observance of the day would have seemed tame, but cer- tainly the spirit of the day seemed to per- wade most of those seen upon the streets. The program of the day was we'll carried out. The procession as it marched away impressive sight made up of the fire department as an escort, Winter Post headed by Citizens band, and Horton Camp, s. of V. with the Cadet band. The w. R. c. and the abundant flowers pro- vided were carried in omnibuses, and carriages also held borough authorities and citizens. The day was excessively warm, but interest in it's observance did not seem to wilt under the rays of the sun.

 The lectures of Miss Abby A. Judson last Sunday were especially interesting to investigators of spiritualism. An extend ed notice, too much so to find room at the hour when it was received, has reached us. We shall publish portions later. Ev- idently the speaker has ability to make her subject interesting to all, and to those who accept her belief very clear. She is attracting large audiences. Next Sunday at 1 p. m. her subject will be "The Spir- itualism of Jesus," and at 7.30 p. m. "Where are heaven and hell ?" These lec- lures will close the course of lectures on Spiritualism for the present season. We are requested to say that all are cordially invited to be present.
