Carried Out.

Officers Installed.

The schools generally made ample provis-
ions for the observance of Flag Day yester-
day, but the severe storm interfered TO some
extent with the carrying out Of the ful pro-
gram. as many OF the veterans and others
were unable to participate. Notwithstanding
the storm. however, the children, who had
been assigned for special exercises. were, as a
rule, on hand to do honor 10 the occasion and
acquitted themselves nicely. The members
OF the Post met at Comrade Healey's store at
IL 80 o'clock and first visited the High school
In a body, and assisted I'm the program. Ad-
dresses were made by Comrade Joshua Ia.
Drown, james Bachelor, Past Commanders
George W. Foster and Charles Bowen. At the
conclusion Of the exercises here delegations
visited every school in town. The flags on
the public stats were not displayed on ac-
count of the storm. A number Of stores and
residences, however were decorated with old
glory and as whole the celebration was a
success beyond what could have been expected
under the circumstances.
Yesterdays storm was very severe, lasting
all day with a high wind and the result this
morning is that there is about Ia inches OF
snow, or would be on the level, but IL is badly
drifted on the roads leading into town, in
some places five or six feet high. The snow,
however, fell light and can be handled more
easily than was the case in the last storm,
when 1t was packed solidly. Highway Sur
veyor John II. Brown, with an extra force OF
men was early at work on the drifts and by
night the principal streets will be passable.
The milkmen were all late this morning, and
some were heard 10 say hard things about the
condition Of the roads. The trains on the To-.
cal branch Of the Consolidated ro sd were not
della yed TO any extent. The telegraph and
telephone service was all right this morning.

No. 30, Foresters OF America was held at
Armory hall last evening, and proved very
pleasant occasion 10 those who braved the
storm TO be present. The attendance was
