STREWING OF THE GRAVES
An Impressive Observance of Memorial
Day This Morning.
THE PARADE LARGE AND BRILLIANT
Ceremonies of Glowing Patriotic charae-
ter at the odd Fellows Cemetery, in
Which Many Public School
Children Took Part.

The American people to-day are answering
the muster roll of the nation. They are
answering the call to honor the memory of
those who died that the Union might live
They uphold the day and hold it in memory
that on this side of the Atlantic ocean there
is country Of self-government and civil
liberty by reason of the sacrifices of the de-
parted heroes. The gatherings in the eeme-
teries is the old, old story, but it never grows
wearsOme. Such is the case in Shenandoah
to-day. The observance of Memorial Day in
the town this morning was probably more
general and the ceremonies more impressive
than at any other place in the coal region
The weather was delightful. At an early
hour the streets were crowded with people
pushing in every direction and preparing for
the celebration, most of them carrying
lunches Of flowers for the graves of the dead.
The early dawn saw many residences and
business places beautifully decorated with
wreaths of evergreens, flags and bunting,
and the time the hour for the line of parade
to form arrived many fronts of houses along
the route attested the patriotism of the
people.
The line of parade did not move punctually
at the hour fixed, nine o'clock, which was
due to many members of the various
organizations listed to participate being re-
quired to visit the respective collieries at
which they work to receive their wages, but
they accomplished this in good time, as the
paymasters were on hand promptly at 1880
O'Clock. In many quarters the p. g. r. c. g.
