Honor the Soldier Dead.

No greater duty devolves upon a
nation, people Or community than
that of honorlng it's soldier dead.
Those who have left home and loved
ones to go forth to battle for the
honor, dignity and integrity OF the
nation r worthy OF all honor, be
they living or dead; the remains of
those who have fallen become a pub
lie trust, as their memory 10 a public
heritage. In this community there
are several graves of soldiers of the
late civil war, and, alas. OF several
young men who died In or rs a result
Of service In the Spanish-American
and Philippine wars. But a few
days ago we tenderly laid to rest the
forms OF Myersick and Hall, and but
q day or two ago Alvin Hill closed
his eyes in the long sleep. The re-
mains Of William Roberts lie near
Garneill and those of William O'Leary
at Belt. The veterans OF the civil
war are going from us n by one,
and as the time goes On they will
pass away with greater rapidity.
In view OF all these things 1t Is meet
and proper that immediate action be
taken looking to the careful and
proper burial OF them all In a place
where their graves will be kept green
and their memories cherished. Inthe
new Lewistown cemetery a space
100 feet square has been donated by
the Cemetery association for the To-
cation of a soldiers monument in the
very center OF the cemetery. Adjoin.
ing this two full blocks have also
been donated as q place OF burial for
all deceased soldiers not otherwise
provided for. The Cemetery asso.
citation has been prompt and gener.
Gus In this matter OF providing bur.
ial places, now let us rs a commun'
ity be equally prompt and generous
In raising a monument to our heroes,
The committee appointed to take
this matter OF the soldiers monu
ment In hand are alive to the duties
and proprieties Of the hour and have
decided to ask our citizens to erect
such a monument as will be a credit
to the memory OF u soldier dead
and q credit to our community. The
committee desires to raise $4,000 fol
this noble purpose, and to carry the
project to a successful termination
they ask the hearty assistance and
counsel OF every patriotic Americas
citizen.
