ercises by the G.. A. II.
Saturday last was Memorial day, an
occasion which, as each recurring year
brings it to public notice, becomes
dearer and more sacred to the sur
vivors of the late rebellion. The pro-
gram of exercises, as arranged and
carried out by O. D. Pease post, No.
o. G. A R., was of more than ord1n-
airy interest and merit, making the day
notable one so far as its peculiar ob-
servance was concerned. During the
forenoon a detail from the post de-
corated all the graves of Union soldiers
buried in the cemeteries here with
flowers and flags. The memorial cere-
monies proper commenced at O'Clock
P. NJ, when the line of march was
taken up from the Post ball to Oak
Hill cemetery. The procession was
headed by the Sinnissippi band, fol-
lowed in order by the Northwestern
university cadets, the 0. D. Pease post,
the orator of the day and the chaplain
in carriage, the disabled comrades IN
an ambulance. and citizens carriages.
On arriving at the cemetery the g. A.
r. ritual service was conducted at the
grave of Comrade Charles Hoetfner by
the post chaplain, August Kusel, after
which the parting salute was fred by a
squad armed with muskets. Then the
line of march led to Concordia island,
where Hon. Alexander z. Matheson,
of the GAINESVILLE law firm Of White
head, Matheson & Smith. delivered
the Grafton of the day. Mr.. Matheson
is an eloquent young orator, and Ills
effort was an unusually excellent one,
full of luany fine thoughts on the d.
parted dead and the duties of the pre-
sent A large audience listened to him.
after the speech there was patriotic
rnusic by the band and the Woman :
Relief corps served the veterans with
a fine luncheon. The days exercises
were concluded at 4: 80 and the process
sion marched back to the Post hail.

The Smalley Concert company
gave an enjoyable ntertainment at
the Congregational church Monday
evening to fair-sized audience. The
young ladies presented an attractive
appearance and sung very sweetly
aud tremendously, the quartettes be-
ing especially meritorious. A feature
was the extraordinary voice of the
second alto, Miss Sprague, the depths
of which seemingly knew no bounds.
The reader, Miss Caruthers, gave
some of her selections very nicely,
but she might be criticized for too
often OVERRIDING her work to render
it generally satisfactory. No doubt
many of our people would like to hear
the Smalley quartette again, and it
is hoped they may visit US IN the
future.
