Memorial Day.

As each successive year comes and
passes, the people of the United States
seem to realize better the duty of re.
calling the deeds of those who suffered
in the days of 81 so that the country's
flag might wave without reproach
as the EN- blem of liberty.
The selection of particular day
upon which, following a beautiful
German custom, the dead might be
remem bered by scattering upon the
graves sweet floral tributes was a
happy one.
Sym bolism has become a necessity
to men, and no symbol has ever been
devised except those Of divine origin
more beautiful or more appropriate
than the decking of monuments with
beautiful flowers gathered from the
wild woods, or the gardens.
This city has for many years made
this day a special one. Obeying the
spirit of the law the places Of business
have been closed and almost the en-
tire community gather at the ceme--
terry to partake in the beautiful and
impressive ceremonies.
This year has witnessed the largest
procession and perhaps the greatest
degree of interest that the city has
ever had in this day.
Early the people gathered at the
starting point and followed the old
soldiers to the grounds. The usual
ritual ceremonies were under the di-
rection of G. Burnett, the Post Com
mander, aided by L. Spalding.
The address of the day was delivered
by Prof. Adrian and was a scholarly
and we'll considered grafton and deliv-
cred In an impressive manner.
Music was furnished by a select
chorus. 1t would be wrong TO omit
mention of the reading of President
Lincoln'S Grafton at Gettysburg by
Mrs. Wales, whose clear voice seemed
to reach the limits of the audience.
After the address the usual pro-
gram of decorating the graves by the
children was carried out.
The day was almost perfect, The
wind it is true was sufficient TO throw
out boldly the folds of the flag, but
not so severe as In any manner TO In
terrupt the ceremonies or to be IN.
pleasant.
Eight soldier boys from the war OF
'9S marched with the old veterans In
the procession.
