We notice that some Of our citizens
are pushing forth royal jamboree for
3Osh of May. This is bad mistake. In
the first place it is too near our celebra-
ton on the 3rd, 4th and 5th. of July, as
the subscription taken up will effect the
subscriptions for the Fourth. Further,
sports such as horse races, foot races or
baseball, with our flag at half mast, are
not proper for the observance of Memoir
ial day. The day is national holiday,
but was never set aside to be observed
as advertised by Hallock for the 3Oth.
why not observe the day as it should be
observed, that our. children may profit.
by the example? Why not come togeth.
er-lodges, schools and citizens-and,
headed by the band, march to the ceme-
tary and there pay tribute to the honored
dead, and in the evening join in grand
union service in one of our churches,
there to hear our clergy PROFOUND the
importance of the observance of this
solemn day. To observe the day in any
other way would be unpatriotic and un-
American, would crafty no sense on the
part of our citizens and could only out
rage taste and dignity. If we must have
these sports, why not change the date to
the 10Th or 31st?-Enterprise.
