 The Memorial exercises last Friday by the pupils of Miss Smiths and Miss Sprague's rooms, of the Pinney Grammar school, were well attended notwithstand- ing the threatening weather.

 The twenty-first anniversary of the birthday of Miss Fannie Peters was made @ marked event in her life, by the gather ing at her home last Friday evening of some thirty-fi or forty of her young friends of this village, Hydeville and Wales.

 Work on this years section of macad- am road is being rapidly pushed, and but for the long spell of rainy weather the grading would have been done before this. If the weather is not too bad, how ever, 1t will be finished this week, and the laying of stone will commence as soon as Monday. With the way these people push things, 1t will only take few days to do the macadamizing, and then we shall have an open road to the borough. There is just one bad spot on this road that sadly needs attention-just few feet below the macadam, that is to be finished, in the borough, Is a low spot that every time it rains is a perfect mud hole; so bad Is this place in wet weather that one Is com- pelled to climb up on the bank in order to get around 1t. It is hoped that the borough authorities will see that this one spot is made passable.
 The weather on Memorial day proved to be all that could be desired, making the day an ideal one, and either from the fact that pleasant days are so rare this year, or that the presence of actual wal Is in our midst, the day was more gener ally observed here than ever before. Ali 9.30 Winter Post, together with the band arrived and the first stop was made 1T front of the residence of Mir. and Mrs. E c. Pinney, whose kind thoughtfulnesl had provided generous supply of icet lemonade for the participants in the cer emonies. On arrival at Hillside cemete ry, the regular ritual work of the Granc Army was gone through with, and in ad dition, the pupils of Miss Smiths schoo added much to the impressiveness of tn
 exercises. About the most interesting
 feature of the day was the song, "We ar
 Tenting Tonight on the Old Cam
 Ground" sung as a solo by little 11-year
 old Isadore Dunham of Hydeville, wh
 was dressed in costume representing
 the American flag. So pleased were tn
 veterans with this feature that the littl
 miss was taken into the bus with then
 and made the balance of the trip, singh
 in each yard. Hillside cemetery neve
 looked better than on this occasion; tn
 grounds were well filled with intereste
 spectators, while nearly all the grave
 showed evidence of being we'll cared fo by loving hands. On arrival at the Stree cemetery, little before noon, about tn same program was followed as at HI side. Here also were gathered @ larg , number of spectators to witness the 1T teresting ceremonies. The abundanc of flowers in this yard has never befor been equalled, many rare and beautifr floral tributes having been sent here frol out of town by thoughtful relatives ( those who are here sleeping their lont last sleep. On the whole, the day was
 perfect success the weather was deligh
 full nature, in her new spring garb ( green, never looked lovelier, and the ban never rendered better music. In or walks about the different yards on sunds
 and Monday, and contrasting their pre- ent well-kept condition with that of u
 neglect of years gone by, we could n, but think that this sad, but beautiful ol | aeryanca of Mamorial dav has haap (
