mington, came down to spend Whit Nor
day with friends in this vicinity, ant
finding things rather quiet, took it upol
herself to create little excitement. Th,
members Of Trinity a. M Z. Church hat
arranged to hold festival in the even
ing Of that day, and the Fields woman
thought this the proper place to start th,
wheel rolling. After several altercationl
with those in attendance she made

church took hand and had her arrested

The pastor, DR.. L. E. Barrett of Be
thesda Methodist Episcopal Church,
preached last Sunday evening to the old
soldiers Of this community. The sermon
was without question one of the best ever
delivered in that edifce The church
had been tastefully decorated with flags
and bunting, and when the soldiers Of
years gone by entered the room-men
that 50 calamity shouldered the musket
and went to the front in defense Of the
Union in 81, but whose locks have grown
white since the close Of the rebellion, the
scene was patriotic one, and will doubt
less linger in the memories of the mem
bers Of Major John Jones Post, No. %,
G. A. R. during the declining years Of
their noble lives. Time is rapidly thin
ming the ranks Of the men who so bravely
fought for the preservation of the Union
from 81 to '65, but in response to the in
vitation about fifteen Of the surviving
members turned out, and the able ser
mon doubtless brought back to their
memories many pathetic scenes of the
battle field in the days of their youth.
The few surviving members of Major
John Jones Post, No. %, G. A. R. to-
gether with many Of our patriotic citi-
zens went forth Thursday and decorated
the graves Of the members of that great
host which went forth in the sixties in
defense of the union. The sad but low
ing task Of placing the flowers on the
graves Of the dead comrades was COM
pleted early in the day, large baskets of
flowers were taken to the various ceme-
terYs and fragrant blossoms left on the
graves of the soldiers. The decorations
were not SO numerous as in former years,
but all seemed to enjoy the occasion, and
none more feverently than did the boys
Of 81. The graves Of the following sol
diers were decorated: st. Anne's Gene
