Impressive Memorial Week Services.


This has been with us a memorial week
indeed. Sunday evening at the Baptist
church Rev. Mr. Paddock gave a pre-me-
mortal address before large audience
Wednesday afternoon the public schools
held their regular pre-memorial eXer-
cises, the village pastors adding their
words of suggestion and commendation
Then came Memorial day-with its rain
withheld-and a large number of people
in attendance. The procession formed on
Main street about 9 o'clock. with the
village band at the head rendering fine
music. The Vermont Academy cadets
in command of Maj. Wolfe did escort
duty as the long line wendell its way to
the village cemetery. At the grave of
Abner Cunningham the score of veter-
ans in attendance gathered, and with
uncovered heads recited the impressive
ritual of the Grand Army. The graves
of old soldiers were decorated with bas-
kets of flowers by the school children
After the services in the cemetery. came
the exercises in odd Fellows hall pre-
sided over by Maj. Wolfe The program
was as follows: Music by the band
prayer by Rev. Mr. Foote, singing by a
large chorus under the lead of Mrs
Harry Kimball, reading by Debora Cory
singing by chorus, memorial address by
Maj. Knowles of Albany n. Y The
major is fine speaker and full of pa
triOtic enthusiasm. His address gave
great satisfaction to an audience which
crowded the han to the doors. In the
minds of our older citizens stirring
memories of the civil war have been re-
called and newly impressed. while the
minds of the rising generation have been
enlisted and inspired, we may believe
with new love for their country and with
new reverence for the heroic defenders
of our country in the great civil war.
All in all, with us, as with many other
Vermont communities this has been an
exceedingly tender and impressive week.

in New York short time to note the
marked difference between a town of
saloons and one of prohibition. Mr..
Durfee has travelled very extensively
in Vermont during the past year, with
residence in Burlington. During the
time, he has seen in the state a less
number of intoxicated men than he
saw in one evening in a town in New
