THE MEMORIAL CELEBRATION.

The Memorial day services on Sunday
afternoon at the Methodist church were
interesting and inspiring. The exercises
were to have taken place in the Center
cemetery, but the weather was so uE-
certain and the ground so damp, that the
committee thought 1t advisable to hold
the services indoors. The presiding off,
Ger was Henry A. Gilbert. The male
chorus sang several selections, and Rev
II. l.. Slack led In prayer. There were
also reCitAtions by Hattie l.. Morgan,
George ii. Richmond, Leslie Davis and
Margaret IL. Culhan0. The address was
given by Rev DIR Adams, the new pastor
of the Methodist church, who gave Wig
orOus and eloquent address. DR. Adams
said that he was glad to have the oppOI-
tunity of saying over again what had
been said many times before. He would
give a brief review OF some Of the things
that the soldiers and citizens should be
Interested In. He hoped that the day
would never come when the story would
be forgotten. 1.-The Oftener iC Is repeat

close to tho hearts OF those that were en-
gagged In the strugge. What did they
do? First, they saved the union" and
the speaker explained In what way, and
so that we look each other in the face on
a level. Second, they saved the honor
of the nation. The honor OF the nation
was preserved not only at home but
abroad. Something more in a nation
than mere dollars and cents. Saved the
honor OF the nation and achieved the
honor OF the world" The speaker refer
red to the grand ideas of manhood, and
said that the soldiers also saved the man.

ABOUT CLOTHES,

While we concede the force of the old
truism that ''clothes don't make the
man., there is no deny ing the fact that
clothes go long way toward determin-
ing the character OF a man. A man
wearing neat, stylish and we'll fitting
suit of clothes is prima facie evidence
that he is prosperous, painstaking and
possesses fair amount of self respect.
It is evident that he Ia endeavoring to be
up to date and abreast with The times.
Clothes sold by Davis & Savard of
Bridgeport are always correct in style,
perfect in fit and reasonable in price.

The popular correspondent Of The
News tells a rather good story, which
might Be taken with u grain of salt, if it
were not for his we'll known reputation
to chronicle the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but tine truth. He says:
Grand street Ia pro, @. bially clean
Chorougnfare, and Lew corners into that
locality like to keep up with the custom
of having we'll moved lawns. A man
who recently moved onto that street
thought that his lawn needed cutting
and called on a neigbor in order to bor-
row his lawn mower. 1t was at night,
and IN order to get the job completed be-
fore darkness came the man hurried with
all his might, perambul4ting and crisis
crossing that lawn to the Queens taste"
1t was growing darker every moment
and the man could not tell where he
commenced or where he left off, and 90
cIose examination the grass appeared
Just as high as when he list commenced.
Calling a relative in the house to consult
with in regard 10 the trouble, the relative
decided that the screws were loose in the
machine. After tightening all of the
| screw the lawn mower was once more
set in motion with the same result as be-
| fore. Instead OF moving the lawn it
seemed as II the grass grew six inches
every time the mower went over it.
Finally giving up in despair the man re-
turned the machine to its OWNER, eX-
planning that 1t would not cut. IL then
| dawned upon the kind neighbor That he
had removed the knives in order to have
them sharpened, and had forgotten to
replace them.
