Memorial Day.

The program for Memorial Day as
published in the NORTHERNER last
week, was carried out completely, and
made up perhaps the best observance OF
the day that has ever been enjoyed by
Paw Paw people. The committees OF the
Grand Army, appointed To decorate the
soldiers graves were prompt and ef1-
cient in their duty, and not single sol
dier's grave was overlooked. After this
work was done, the veterans assembled
at the post room and, led by the mar
tial music and the Paw Paw band,
marched to the park in front OF the
school grounds, where the impressive
ceremonies of order were had, conduct
ed by Post Commander ii. j Loveland,
Chaplain A. L. Foote and Officer of the
Day j. +. Billiard. A couple OF APP.
pirate selections were rendered by
quartette, Messrs Cummings, Gilman,
Haworth and Squier-and seldom in
deed are voices heard To blend more
tremendously and furnish sweeter
music than do these. Rev. \. G.. Brun-
dage offered brief prayer, complet.
ing the the ceremony, which was held
around nicely devised monument 'tO
our fallen heroes" erected for the &C.
caSion. The march was then taken up,
back to the post room, where ranks were
broken for dinner A large concourse
of citizens witnessed the ceremony,
and all agreed that the park was much
finer place than the cemetery, and es-
pecially so as it saved the tiresOme
tramp for the veterans TO Prospect Hill
and return, which in former years has
SO tired many of them that the exercises
of the afternoon could not be halt en-
jOyed
At half past one a large crowd as
sembled on the court house square,
where seats had been arranged for the
occasion, and the old veterans came
marching from their armOry, led by
Messrs. Cummings and the two Billiards,
the martial band. The exercises were
opened by martial music and prayer
by Rev. Waller, followed by patriotic
song from the male quartet above nam
ed and Mrs. +. l.. Billiard, organ
list. Next came flag drill by the mem
bers of Misses COoley's and Bryar's de-
partments of the public school, which
WAS very fine and elected great APP
plause. Rolla Loveland gave a fine
recitation on the origin of Decoration
Day and Miss leila Harvey followed
with well delivered recitation; "Pri-
sang another piece that pleased the
people so well they were compelled to
respond to an encore Rev j. II. Ham
mond of the Disciple church then de-
livered an interesting and able address,
one of the best that has been delivered
in Paw Paw on any similar occasion,
at the close of which Judge Heckert
was called out and made few remarks
in his usual happy manner, calling at
tention to the fact, among other things,
that it would be a desirable thing for
Paw Paw to have a soldiers monument
on the little park in front of the school
house grounds. The exercises closed
with piece of martial music and a
benediction pronounced bv Rev. n. &.
Brundage. Though the weather was
threatening the rain did not come and
the exercises were success in all re-
spects.

A Card from the Post.

The members of Brodhead post wish
10 express their grateful appreciation Of
the assistance that made the ceremonies
of Memorial Day SD successful We
acknowledge our indebtedness TO the
citizens for their financial aid; to the
high school for the beautiful flag drill,
singing and recitations that added so
much 20 the interest of the day; To the
glee club for the inspiration of their
music; 10 our local band and to Com
rades Billiard and Cummings for the
martial airs that made us forget the
years that lie between US and our youth /;
To Comrade Hammond for the mastery
GRAFTON that recalled the past, only to
give us hope and courage for the future
We indulge in the hope that the re-
marks of Comrade Heckert may be the
seed dropped i'm fertile soil and that
many Memorial Days may not pass
before IL bears fruit in a manner that
shall proclaim, louder than words the
gratitude of this community to their
soldier dead.
The post commander also wishes to
thank the several committees for the
efficient manner in which they dis
charged their duties and the members
of the entire post for their soldierly
bearing and prompt attention 10 the
requirements of the day.

Post Commander

Paw Paw Peoples Experience In the
Cyclone.
Mrs T. II Babbitt, daughter of Mr.
Jas. Bale, is a resident of ST. Louis, and
her many friends and acquaintances
here will he interested i'm the following
letter from her To her father, telling
her experience with the awful cyclone
and her narrow escape from it,
2O29 Forest Ave. May 30.
M Dear Fdther:-I am sure you are
wondering if we are among the cyclone
victims. came near being, but forum
ately escaped Mrs Burrell, a neighbor,
drove i'm town with me at 80, and at
1870 we started for home, reaching JET.
ferson ave and Goth street just as the
storm began. We drove very fast, hop
ing to reach Mr. Pierce's, but dared not
stop under the trees To call Ed, SCI we
went To Mrs. James aud tied Bill when
the wind was blowing so hard IL seemed
rs if the horse and buggy would be car.
ried away. Two hours later we started,
hoping TO get home; but the second
storm struck us, and we drove 10 MIR.
Green's through streets filled with cleo
tric wires and fallen trees 1t is won
der we were not killed, for the wind
and rain came SO as To almost blind us:
we drove at IA fearful pace, dOdging the
trees, wires and vehicles. ran into
carriage and splintered spoke and
pulled the cap from the hub hut we
reached Mr.. Green's in safety and spent
the night there. At $50 a. m, we came
home. Ed walked TO Mr.. Green's, ar
irving there as we were starting He
was quite unnerved from the terrible
suspense of the night. Our place SUI
fered badly; the naples are damaged
much and scarcely shrub is left in the
yard. Jamie was in the care of our
man, but when they realized that | was
not coming home Mrs. w took him in
and kept him all night. Ed.
is working on relief committee. We
drove last night two miles in the coun-
try to see man named Golf, whose
house is in ruins and himself and seven
children and his aged parents with no
shelter or food. Ed. will send them to-
day a tent, clothing bedding and pro.
visions. Atfectionately,
ETA.
