Decoration Day.

Might it not be fair to suggest that
it would be proper and very becoming
ifthe citizens would take the matter
of Decoration Day into their hams
and allow the members of The Grand
Army of the Republic to be the honor
ed guests on the occasion? The few sur
vivors of the civil strife feel that the
burden falls very heavily upon them
and would truly appreciate the occa-
sion if the patriotic people would unite
and commemorate the day with appro-
priote exercises and strew the graves
Of the departed heroes with the flowers
of spring and thus teach the young
and coming generations the love and
veneration of home and country and
the flag with it's galaxy of stars and
stripes But few years and the OBJ
sservance of the day will be left entire
ly to the people as the last brave hero
will have passed to rest, leaving this
beautiful custom for those who will en-
joy the united freedom and liberty
gained by the valor and heroism of
those who went forth in battle array to
die if need be for united country and
the glory of the flag. Iti is hoped by
many that as soon as Mayor Nash ar
rives home he will call public meet
ing and make arrangements for suita-
1ble observance of the day. Get ready
land help make the day one to be long
remembered by demonstration of
public patriotism.

A. Boyce, the Presbyterian minister,
of the church at Old Hamlin. They
were in wagon with double side
boards on, having hog in the wagon.
When at the Blue Grass bridge, just
below Town, they stopped to water the
hog. The hog squealed, soaring the
team which started to run, Mr.. Boyce
getting hold of one line and Mr.. Will
son the other, Mr.. Wilson being on the
ground. The team ran only short
distance until Mr.. Boyce fell head first
off of the wagon striking his head,
from all indications, on the evener.
The team dashed the wagon against
atelephope pole and freed themselves
from the wagon, Mr.. Wilson hurried
to the scene and found Mr.. Boyce
bruised, bleeding and seriously hurt.
Other parties hurried to the scene and
the injured man was taken into Doctor
Brooks Office where we are informed
ijthat it was learned his collar bone was
broken, one hip dislocated, deep cuts
In front and back of the head and his
H-dy and limbs badly bruised. We
