w. R C. Notes

Decoration day was observed by our
Post and Corps, at City Hall, owing to
the rain, and few appropriate selec-
tisns were read and sung, and an elo-
quent discourse suitable for the &C.
casion was rendered by Rev. McCord
of Masonville, after which buss full of
soldiers and w. r. G. ladies proceeded
to the cemetery in fraternal regard to
spread flowers, as NANTES over the
sleeping comrades, who repose there,
and also the sisters Of our order who
have preceded US to the silent CITY of
the dead.
On Sunday evening, May 81, at 4
O'clock, notwithstanding the inclemancy
of the weather, a large number of citi-
zens, post and corps met at the river
bank at the foot of Union street to
scatter blossoms of spring on the river
which flows to the ocean, beneath which
many soldier sleeps, never forgotten,
though at rest after the conflict of
of battle and the march of life. The
services were very impressive and beau
ttful. A small craft or boat had been
prepared and decorated with the nation
al colors, with the stars and stripes
floating in the breeze, and was moored
at the edge of the stream. This the
children and friends proceeded to laden
with flowers and verdu1e, and when
filled the moorings were sundered and
the little craft was sent sfloat, bearing
the beautiful tokens of peace, whose
fragrance will laden the air with the
breath of sweetest memory of our be-
loved dead and we bow our heads In
SORROW for those departed veterans and
their noble auxilisries who have gone
on before.
Tuesday Roosevelt day in Manches-
ter little Florence, the infant daughter
of one of our color bearers, Mrs. Katie
Ellis, in behalf of the post and CORDS
presented our first official of the land,
with a beautiful boquet of pink roses,
as token Of esteem to our superior
officers.
