 ''His office was first court of concili- ation. If, however, his earnest efforts failed to settle controversies, and litiga- tion followed, then his clients found in hiFa an able, adroit and eloquent advo. cate, and opposing counsel a foeman worthy of their steel"
 Decoration day was extensively and pleasantly observed. The towns people with few inconspicuous exceptions, en. tered with spirit into the affair. One hundred or more of the school children were in the procession, marshalled by H F. Starkweather. Other teachers besides him were Mesdames Brownlee and Dave and Misses Mowry, Fenton and Barrett Two of the town teachers only were ab sent. Among those from out of towr in attendance were parties from Lowell Westfield, Mass, Hartford, Willimantic Mansfield, Ashford, Holland, Stafford anC Union. The Baptist church where tn, exercises proper were held could not con tain the company gathered. The oration spirited and patriotic, by Rev. T. c. Dru ley, was well received, while the interest ing exercises of the children, under th tutelage of teachers Brownlee, Dave Mowry and Starkweather, were enthusi astically applauded, as was the oratiol previously delivered. The singing, unde the leadership of Charles c. Essex, was pleasing feature. The poem, "Compan G." read by J. B. Carpenter, and tn closing remarks by Pastor Brown, were appreciated and enjoyed by all. Tn thOughtfulness of Mrs. Brownlee, in pro viding exquisite buttOn-hole bouquets fO each member of the G. A. R. post, wa highly appreciated by them, and the put lie presentation was a touching episode If the food did not hold out, it was nc because Wilmington has grown less hos pitable, but because on this occasion tn demand unexpectedly exceeded the suT ply. Next year we hope that whole fan , flies will not gather and expect sumptl ous feast without bringing as much eve as a cracker.
