THE HEEOEs OF 100
Fittingly Remembered on Me.
mortal Day In this Conn
81 munity.

+ ( i
Memorial Day service was held in
the court foom Sunday morning.
This large room was crowded with
people, all Of whom intently listened
to the sermon delivered BY Rev. ].
Z. Dickerman of the Congregational
church. The sermon was an able
one clearly defining what elements
constituted true patriotism in man.
Tuesday afternoon the same room
vas filled toits utmost capacity and
hundreds were unable to gain ad-
mission. The following program was
rendered in addition to patiotic

Address by Rev. Wilson Aull.
The address was an, eloquent one.
full of stirring heroism, and a fitting
tribute to the heroes Of '6l and '99,
The program by the scholars was fine
and excelled those of SIMILAR ones of
these occasions. 1t is. difficult to
single out part deserving of special
mention, but the song rendered BY
Master Kumler, displayed marked
musical talent and received great ap-
plause. The exercises were conclud-
ed at the cemetery where the graves
OF the departed were decorated with
beautiful flowers. The interest man.
ifested by our citizens shows that the
memory of the brave soldiers is re-
vered as much now as in years gone
by and to use any words of eulogy
would be but repititions of former
declarations. -.....,..
The Worthington Brass Band es-
corted the post from their hall to the
court room and after the exercises
rendered some sweet strains. AL
though organized but short time
they have made rapid brogress.
Business houses closed during the
hours of exercises.
Again the fact is demonstrated of
Inadequate room for the holding of
public gatherings in our. village.
Fully 200 people were unable to eet
within hearing distance of tho exer-
cises, and the want Of a large hall is
being felt more and more every year

good manner by which they Will reach
the street from the sidewalk. Stone
steps with guard rail will be placed
at the point where the former entrance
to the sidewalk was made. A good
crossing will also be made and the
Gage street people will thus be far bet

For time the hill will be far more

Road track will be moved out into the
street while the road bed is being pre-
pared for the track where it Will be
permanently situated. This, however,
will not block the travel as there will
ever be a path up and down the hill
for teams and people. AS soon as the
railroad repairs are over Commissioners

for the time the sidewalk will be
closed and people Will have to go up
and down in the street, on the railroad
track. or go around by Court and WIN

Every housewife is supposed to

say that not one in ten knows how it is
made or what it is made from.
Rrooms. you know, are made from the
heads or brushes of the broom corn. a
first cousin to our field corn. 1t is said
that benjamin Franklin was the man
who was responsible for all the broom
corn in the United States. 1t is said he
brought over a whisk broom from
Europe, and while looking at it found
seed which he planted and all came
from it, Whether this is true Or not, |
cannot attest. The corn was first
grown in India and later in Europe.
In making up a broom the corn is
placed around handle and every lay
er wound tightly with wire. Later all
is pressed and trimmed. and we have
