The program of decoration was carried out successfully as planned. In the afternoon a crowd of people gathered at the cemetery to hear the address of the day by Rev. George Williams. The address proved interest ing and instructive, and was delivered in an eloquent and pleasing manner. The double male quartette in attendance in- cluded Dr. F. B. Newton, J. Carl Con- verse, D. J. Hanley, J. T. Melbourne, c: M. Moore, H. E. Burwell, A. 0. Brooks Rev. T. D. Martin, Jr. The selections used by the quartette were, "The Long Day Closed" and ''Star Spangled Banner" :" Winter post still presents fair-sized force, in spite of the fact that nearly forty years have passed since the war broke out. There are about A members still in the ranks. There have been four deaths in the post the past year. While the observation of Memorial day is not what it should be in many particulars
 there comes even to the most thoughtless a feeling of loyalty and respect for the flag when it passes by in the Memorial day procession held up by the hands oi the veterans who followed it through the
 blood and fire of the civil war. Mingled
 with the pride in the flag is the feeling oi sadness for those who fell in the storm as we'll as for those who are gradually passing away in the walks of peace: | Stafford.
