June ftn, lSUO.
Memorial Day, Boxwell exercises,
closing of school, Children's Day at
U. B. Church NJ. Z. Quarterly Con-
ference, etc. 1t can truly be said
there was an indefinite variety and
all good.
Memorial Day was day which will
long be remembered for it was very
fittingly celebrated at Mowrystown.
The programme rendered in our beau
tiful Town Hall was pronounced by all
excellent in all particulars. SIN Me-
moriam" by Flossie Galliett, "Me-
mortal Day" by Matte Kay, "Our
Flag" by Ray Fenwick, "Grandfath-
er's Story" by Nora Wills, and BE
reft" by Clara Diehl were not only of a
very high order, but were superbly
rendered by the above named persons.
The choir in their beautiful render
ing of the songs "The BOYS are Still
Marching" "We Deck Your Graves"
sleeping Beneath the Flag" and
the song "Deck the Graves of the
Gray" which was composed by j. S.
Galliett, of Sardinia, was thoroughly
enjoyed and appreciated by the large
audience. wishing" and "Sleep
Baby Sleep" by the little girls were
roundly applauded, but probably the
song that made the greatest impress
ion was ''America's Birthday Party"
by eight girls. This piece must be
seen acted to be appreciated. Har-
old Galliett fairly made his violin talk
as he gave in succession yankee
Doodle" ""Marching Through Georgia, ''
"Arkansas Traveller" "The Girl |
Left Behind Me" &c. Last but not
least, Hon. Geo. L. Garrett gave the
tsOld Veterans" a talk that was brist-
ling from beginning to the end with
good things. There was wisdom, wit,
pathos. poetry and round logic from
start to finish, and if Mr.. Garrett en-
joyed our part of the program as we
did his'part we will meet again some
time. After the close of the exer-
cises in the hall the people repaired
to the cemetery where the graves of
the sleeping soldiers were tagged and
decked with beautiful flowers.
The Bowel exercises under the
management of Allen j. Fender were
splendid success, and the four grad
uates, Clara Euverard. Ellsworth
Rose, Walter Haller and Harold Gal.
liett acquitted themselves like wise
little men and women. The musical
part of the program, both vocal and
instrumental, was well rendered by
home talent. A very beautiful song
''F'riendship, Love and Hope was
nicely rendered by L. c. Remington
NJ. E. Sonner and the Misses Robin
son, of Taylorsville. Rev. p. O. Up
dixie, of Hillsboro, gave very inter
esting talk. These exercises are ar
inspiration to our young people and
are very much enjoyed by the Older
ones.
/ Miss Bertha Ludwick, of East Dan
vile, closed a two months term Of
school here Saturday, and we cannot
find more appropriate word to ap
ply to the school than to say it was {
success in the fullest sense of the
word. The parents came to the house
at noon with well filled baskets. II
fact they were so full that even after
the boys and girls had eaten all they
wanted there was enough left to feeG
as many more. The exercises by the
children were fine and we'll illustrated
the kind of teaching that was giver
them. Miss Bertha came here d
stranger two months ago, but now hel
friends are many.
The Children's Day exercises at the
q. B. Church Sunday night were OF
the very highest order. There were
fully four hundred people present, be
sides many little babies. The people
were very quiet. The motion song,
by the little girls were thoroughly en-
Nioyed by all. The music by the choiI
was well rendered and all seemed t
be thoroughly pleased with the exer
cises. We are more and more max
ing the Children's Day, what it ough
to be, for the children and not TO
some long winded speaker, be h,
preacher or layman, to tell the chill
dren what they ought to do and hov
good children were when he wa
young and how we'll he minded hi
parents, &c.
