Memorial Day.


Saturday being Decoration Day,
the town put on its holiday attire
and was most beautifully decorated
in National colors from one end to
the other. Never before was the
town 80 thoroughly covered with
flags and bunting. The only pub
lie building in the town that was
not covered with flags was the
public school building, not even a
streamer hoated from the fag-pole,
and the absence of the flag from
this buildi1g excited much COM
ment.
Early in the morning the people
began to assemble in the city, find
ing their way to the Court House
Park. AT 1 o'clock the procession
was formed, the drum corps of this
place in the lead, the Order of
United American Mechanics next,
then the children under the man
agement of Mrs. Hooff, who had
drilled them for the occasion, carry
ing flags and flowers, the old vet
Grams both of the "Blue and the
Gray" and the citizens bringing up
rear. The march was from the
Court House to the old Cemetery,
where the children placed the flags
and the flowers on the graves of
the dead heroes.
Returning they marched to the
court house yard, where there was
some excellent music rendered by
the choir, a recitation by Miss
Maggie Moriarty, and the Grafton
by Judge G. p. Drew. The speech
of this eloquent gentleman was the
best ever made here on such an
occasion, and was free from the
sectionalism usually INDUCED in
by speakers. He was listened to
with interest to the close, and was
frequently applauded.
After the speech the children
were lined up, and each presented
with the flag they had carried in
tho procession, and each given an
orange and then dismissed.
Hon. III. r. Howard was in COM
mand of the whole proceedings and
carried it through successfully.

the reckless manner in which boys

and have no respect for the rights

than they have been.

THE PAST RECALLED.
Memories Of Bygone Days Return With
the Day OfFlOWers.

the Day OF Flowers.
To-day we cover the graves of
the soldiers with flowers, that we
may keeIl green the memory of our
heroic dead. The private soldiers
were as brave and true as their
leaders. We also scatter flowers
on the graves of the dead that we
may learn again the holy lesson of
patriotism. This nation has sworn
before high heaven that she will
protect the institutions for which
these brave ones died. Every flow
er put upon grave is an oath of
protection. Let lis love our coun-
try and live worthy of SO splendid
an inheritance, and~ when we pray
let us ask Him who watches over
the destinies of nations to guard
and keep us.
