Oae of the large windows of Geo. IL.
Davis store was artisticaIly decorated to
commemorate Memorial day and was ad-
mired by a large number of people during
Thursday and Friday of last week. 1t was
made up partly of war relics which were
contributed by old soldiers and others.
There were four canteens which saw
II IL
knapsack, guns, swords and several other
things. The scene represented a federal
soldier dressed in blue; three muskets
were stacked in the usual manner, cam.
teens were hung about the window, which
was draped in red, white and blue bunt-
ing which hung in graceful festoons about
the walls. A pouch of coffee and coffee
cup which j. n. Webster carried in the
army were seen on the floor, which had
been covered over with ferns. A sword
and coat which belonged to Capt. Geo. w.
Quimby were on exhibition in the window
also a sword carried by Capt. Geo. I'll.
Blake. There was a white monument
on which was inscribed in black letters,
sin Memory of Our Brave Heroes On
the sides of the monument were the fol-
lowing dates, '1S1Z-1SOl-1SJS. represent
ing the three different wars of the century.
One of the prettiest parts of the display
was grave with white headstone in
scribed to ''The Unknown Beside the
grave stood a little girl wearing a white
dress. She was looking down to the spot.
Her curls hung about her neck, and she
held in one hand a bunch of pansies as
though about to drop them on the I'M
known soldiers grave. On the whole it
was very attractive display, particularly
appropriate to the occasion and reflected
credit to M. w. w. Hartwell, who planned
and executed the design.
