FOR A. o. U. w. MEMBERS.
The A. 0. wv. lodges of the city have
notified their members to assemble at
their respective lodge rooms on Friday,
May 90, at 80 p. m, to take part in
the Decoration day parade. Since this was
done the G. A. r. committee has thought
best to have the parade start at p. m.
instead of D. m, and as those marching
in the A. o. U. w division are expected
to be in line on West Seventh street right
