Two hundred or more persons were pres
ent at the Memorial day exercises in the
church Wednesday forenoon, including the
Col. VIM. H. Greenwood post from Put
ney. The veterans of the civil war num-
bered 20. The program of exercises was
of more than usual interest and consisted
of declarations, singing by the male quar-
tet and martial music by the drum corps.
Rev. Mr.. Kimball delivered the address Of
welcome and Rev. Mr.. Mitchell of Putney
was the orator of the occasion. During
his ministry in Putney Mr.. Mitchell iden-
titled himself with the interests of Col
Greenwood post and his very able, stirring
and eloquent address was unusually i'm
pressive from the fact that he will soon
fold his tent and remove from Putney, and
his address on this occasion will doubtless
be farewell, commemorative speech to
the veterans of the civil war and the in
habitants of Putney and Dummerston. A
bountful supply of refreshments was fur
nished for this occasion by the citizens of
this place.

NEWFANE,
A Powerful Address
Delivered by Rev. Arthur TitcOmb on
Memorial Day---Other Exercises.

Delivered by Rev. Arthur TitcOmb on
Memorial Day---Other Exercises.
Memorial day exercises were of increas-
ing interest. The fine weather favored a
large attendance. At about 10 o'clock
the commander and color bearer of the
Birchard pest led the veterans into Union
hall and they were followed by the WOm-
on's Relief corps and pupils from the va
rious schools. An impressive general or
der from state headquarters was read by
the chaplain. Rev. f. Wiswall presided
and called upon Rev. f. NJ. Hardy of
Townshend, who brought out with much
feeling the appropriateness of Psalm l24,
and followed by prayer. Next came sing
ing by the village school. Everett Will
liams of school district No and Eta Da-
Wis of the village school gave fitting recita-
tions. The young peoples choir Of 20
members, led by Rev Mr.. Titcomb rem
dered the song "Our Braves" set to the
music of Keller's American hymn.
Mr.. Wiswall deemed it an honor to in
troduce Rev. Arthur Titcomb of Framing
ham as orator OF the day. The address
was followed by the chorus singing effect
lively "Soldiers of Christ" in the inter
ludes of which the organist happily
ltllht.t Gu Nllt UuLlt Ndlls A' o'Ab
beating of a bass drum behind the plat
form enhanced the effect of the singing
for the occasion. The previous drill given
by the leader was greatly appreciated by
The choir members.
Those who were not present lost an ad-
dress such as is seldom vouchsafed to this
community. While entirely suitable for
the day it would have done credit to an in
stitution of learning as baccalaureate
sermon, and it was intensely practical in
its material. If the veterans missed any
very pointed application to military eX-
PLOTS, and sacrifice of tue soldiers life for
his country, they could not fail TO note the
patriotism of high order that pervaded
the whole address which was not without
stirring illusions to the great evil tolerated
by our country before the Civil war, and
to Cuban and Philippine affairs. The
speakers words inculcated consecrated
soldier, statesman and citizen life in home
communities, even to mentioning the max
ing of sidewalks and caring for cemeteries
The soldier-st atesman-citizen who gives
consecrated and loyal service in home
places will be fitted for the emergencies of
the nations service. The speaker struck
forcible note in urging a training of the
child in his own home to fit him to respect
the institutions of town, state and country.
At about the noon hour the procession
was formed, and led by Townshend drum
| corps to the village cemetery, where sol
diers' graves were decorated, and on the
return bountiful refreshments were served
at the hall.

many eloquent takers. | gave them cred

well known to the officer in charge. The

to find the Negroes and Indians making
such great progress in the industrial line

As announced the exercises Memorial
day were held this year at this part of the

companied a veteran. Music was furnish
