Decoration Day was duly observed
here Thursday. The old soldiers
headed by the Lynchburg band and
followed by the K. of P, M. w. A.
and 1. o. o. F. Lodges marched from
Main street to the city park where
everything had been made bright and
attractive by decorations of flags and
bunting, but at the first rain drops
which came pattering through the
leaves over head the brave old SOL
diers who had faced cannon mouths
and minnow balls were seen scatter
ing in all directions. The crowd
made a grand rush for the M. y.
Church and as soon as order could be
restored a very interesting program
which had been arranged was render
ed which consisted of select readings
by Mrs. Sylvia Bering and Mrs. Mary
Murphy and recitation by Miss
Helen Murphy. The names of the
old soldiers who had passed over and
stacked arms on the other side since
last Decoration Day we're read,
there being seven from here who had
answered to the last roll call which
shows that the ranks are fast thinning
out. Last but not least was the
eloquent address by Rev. G. G. Clark,
after which they marched to the
cemetery where the little girls
decorated the soldiers monument
with beautiful flowers. The drum
corps from Martinsville then made
its appearance and marched with
them back to the hall.
The shortness of our letter last
