Decoration Day Services

Last Wednesday was Decoration
Day, the day that Is set aside as a nat
ional day to honor the nations dead,
and decorate their graves, but a day
which has at last become a universal
decoration day, for the decorating Of
graves OF loved ones who have gone
before, be they nations dead or our
own. A few short years ago il was the
customary habit OF people to 60 to the
grave yard and honor the dead heroes
and return, but at the cemetery last
Wednesday, it was a noticeable fact
that almost every grave within the city
of the dead had been remembered by
some one who had been left behind.
All through the day, from morning un.
til evening, a continuous throng kept
vending their way to the GENE terry TO
honor some dead relative or friend.
The overseer had been at work for
several days past arranging and fixing
up the graves, and the general appear.

began at 80, when the bugle called
the q, A. X, and w. X. &. to their hall,
and from which place they marched to
the opera house where the program as
published last week was given.
At 3 O'Clock the procession formed
with the band in the lead, followed by
the q. A X, aud w Il. G. ia carriages,
and next came the citizens in carriages.
The procession was II Of the longest

known dead, the band proceeded to the
grave of Benjamin +. McCune, one of
their recently deceased members aud
played a piece in memory Of him who
only a short time since was one of
them. After all ceremonies had been
completed, almost every grave in the
cemetery decorated, the crowd wendcd

We went down to Nashville this week
to attend the Grand Council of the
Royal Arcanum and incidently to in
dulge in our annual square meal, the
banquet provided by the good brothers
of the Nashville Councils. On this oc.
casion the brothers recognized dia-
mond in the rough and elected us
Grand Trustee for three years. Our
race surprised the old timers but we
told them we were from Brownlow's
district and perhaps had light case of
the Brownlow running fever. We con-
cede that the Council has made a wise
selection and if all the others agreed
with us it would be unanimous. Just
as we were seated at the banquet table,
Toastmaster Bob" Curry notified us
that he would call upon us to respond
to the toast, "The freside, how to build,
maintain and protect it," This subject
was entirely foreign to us and when we
began to think of a speech our diges'
tive apparatus went out of business
and our appetite took fight but we con-
tinued to shovel in the food from force
of habit. As our name did not appear
in the list of toasts on the menu caro-
the brothers grew tired of the speeches
that preceded ours and began to leave
before we were called upon. Bob
Curry knew it would not do to vast,
our wisdom on the deserted air and h,
did not announce our toast. This per
haps was a relief to the listeners but i
