of the weather last Saturday, good
many people came to town to attend
the Decoration-day exercises. The pro-
gram as prepared was carried out. and
the graves of the old heroes who lie in
the cemetery were strewn with flowers
the same as though the sun had been
shining.
The opera house was well filed in the
afternoon. The music was furnished bv
over two hundred children, under the
direction of Prof. Whitehead.
Miss Minnie Proctor, OF Sugar Valley,
gave recitation which was highly en-
joyed by the audience
Judge Benson's speech was full of
patriotism, and his tribute to the old
boys who wore the blue was touching
and aroused the LOYAL sentiment in the
breasts of his hearers.
Prof. Whitehead sang Marching
Through Georgia"
The flag salute by the children was a
pleasing feature of the occasion.
