Program.
The eve of Memorial Day finds
Morgantown and its people well
prepared for the big celebration
which is to take place tomorrow.
Not a single detail has been neglect
ed. No hitch in the arrangements
has yet occurred, and every thing
points to the most successful eele
bration in the city's history. Few
people have any idea how much
work has been necessary to get
every thing in shape. Much time,
energy and money has been expend
ed.
The greater part OF the work has
fallen ON few shoulders To the
men who have worked faithfully for
the success of the celebration, the
city and county owes the heartlest
thanks. They have done much that
the people of the town and county
might enjoy holiday, and that the
soldiers who sleep in Oak Grove
might be honored properly.
We call upon all to enter into the
spirit of the day, and enjoy it to the
fullest extent The significance of
the celebration should not be lost
sight OF, however. All should re-
member that it is for the veterans
of the sixties. living and dead,
whether they wore the blue or the
gray.
Morgantown will entertain a great
crowd of people tomorrow. Two ex
cursion trains will arrive. one from
Falrmont and one from Uniontown,
at nine o'clock a. m. These will be
crowded with pleasure seekers. The
county roads will be alive with
veh cles in the carly morning, and
great crowds of people from the
country will he here to spend the
biggest holiday of the year. Ample
accommodations will be provided for
ALL Attention is again called to
the hitehing ground in South Nor
gantown.
Unfortunately, wherever large
crowd of people assemble, there also
are fakirs, crooks, pickpoekets and
others of that ilk. Every one should
be on the lookout for any of the
nimble fingered gentry. Several
houses were entered last year, and
householders would do well to have
windows and doors sccui ely locked,
where no one is in the house. Even
then it is safer to keep the back
door locked.
A spacious reviewing stand has
been erected in front of the Court
House. This will be handsomely
decorated. S. f. Glasscok, chair
man of the committee on decoration,
with the assistance of number of
ladies has made arrangements for
some very artistic work along this
line. He has over thousand yards
of red, white and blue star spangled
bunting. This will be used on the
reviewing stand, Court House, and
ON the speakers platform at the
cemetery.
Again all citizens are called upon
to decorate. Let every one see that
his house and place of business is
in gala and patriotic attire. Bunt-
ing costs only few cents yard,
and flags can be had for almost
nothing. Much of the success of
the day depends on the liberal use
of the national colors. This is some
thing all can do to make the day
enjoyable.
A committee of ladies has been at
work securing flowers with which to
decorate the graves. They have
experienced some difficulty in doing
this, and all who have flowers of any
kind, or in any quantity should |
place them IN the hands of the +!
committee.
