the sweet as well as the bitter.
The Western clubs will play In the

together in the West and the Eastern clubs

Next Saturday is Decoration Day and
the graves of the old soldiers whose
bodies lie mouldering in the cemeteries
surrounding Reynoldsville will be
strewn with flowers by the comrades
who still remain this side the eternal
camping ground. The object Of Memo
rial Day is TO pay homage to those who
died that the nation might be pre-
served, yet It is generally acknowledged
that the practice Of strewing with flow
ers the graves of departed soldiers has
fallen into disuse among those not inti-
mately connected with the G.. A. II. and
other military organizations, the day
being devoted more generally every
year by the great majority of our peo-
pie to outings and outdoor sports rather
than to proper observance Ct the sig
nifcance impaired by the solemn
ceremonial of Memorial Day. While to
many holiday, such as May 30, is one
of those occasions that come few and
far between, it is nevertheless a duty
we owe to the old soldier TO exercise n
care lest the day be finally subjected to
q desecration that will serve to instill
wholly wrong conception of the day
and its lessons in the minds of future
generations. While everyone is privi-
legged TO observe the day in the manner
best suited to individual fancies, the
fact should not be lost sight of that the
surviving comrades of the G. A. r.
Posts, on whom devolves the duty of
decorating the graves of departed
heroes, will not be always with us, and
that somebody will have TO take up the
work when they have laid it down.
Memorial day is essentially the old sol
diers' day. Out of respect to them, it
is evident that a proper observance Of
the day can only be made when the
end is attained which prompted the
creation Of May 80 as State holiday.
