! WINTERPoRT. The usual services were
held ON Memorial Day, and notwithstanding
the forbidding weather, the program was
successfully carried out. The procession
formed at 2 p. NJ, as follows: Winterport
Cornet Band. Warren Post, G. A. r., school
children, citizens in carriages. They march
ed through Main street and then to the
cemetery, where the beautiful ritual service
was performed and the graves of the soldiers
decorated. Our pretty cemetery was look
ing its best, and many of the lots were
deliberately decorated, but the wet weather
prevented good many from seeing it. At
3 o'clock Union Hall was packed to the
doors with an enthusiastic audience to listen
to the address Of Prof. A. E. Rogers of the
University of Maine. The professor is a
favOrite with Winterport audience and he
did not disappoint them on this occasion,
but gave a most eloquent and stirring ad-
dress. The remainder of the program
consisting of exceptionally good music by
the band, singing by the High School choir,
and recitations by Mrs. Roy Harlow and
Miss Daisy Howe-was very good. At the
close of the exercises the people were in
vited to the home of Capt. A. f. Fernald,
where simple but beautiful memorial ser
vice was held for the late Lieut.. Roy L.
Fernald. A tall flag staff had been erected
