allowed the day to pass without formal recog-
milton will be in line tomorrow. The edu-
cational part of the demonstration will be a
new feature One hundred and twenty
pupils will ride in seven large wagons in the
line and under the direction of school
teachers will sing patriotic songs as they
pass along the route. The wagons will be
appropriately decorated and the children
will carry bouquets to be placed upon the
graves of the soldiers. The children will be
taken from the grammar and fourth grade
primary schools. There will be two or three
teachers in each wagon. They have spent
the most of the past week in practicing the
songs to be sung. There will also be singing
at the cemeteries and a'few pupils have been
selected to make appropriate reeitations
there. The teachers were busy this after
noon arranging program for the cemetery
exercises. Rev. ID. l. Evans, pastor of the
Welsh Baptist church, will be the orator of
the day.
