CASSvIELE.
May 30, day so full of sad memories
to many dawned cool and cloudy but
the people of Cassville were fortunate
in having part of the Memorial day
exercises the afternoon before. Profs.
Colburn and Fawcett being absent the
remaining teachers had charge of a
program which was presented to the
people at the school grounds Friday
afternoon. After an opening song by
the grades and prayer by Rev. Coates,
a cival war veteran, there were songs
and recitations of a patriotic mature
which were listened to with interest.
Rev. Fuller pronounced the benedic-
ton. The G. A, r. and other citizens
visited the cemetery on Memorial day
and caused the graves of the honored
dead TO blossom anew with emblems of
love and reverence.
Nearly every day some citizen of
Cassville is heard to remark on the
unimproved condition and appearance
of the streets, not only the walks but
the grass plats along the walks. The
reason for this is that not many years
ago the marshal and street commits
sioner made extra effort to have the
weeds cBt before the seed ripened and
to have the streets and alleys cleared
of rubbish, with the result that Cass-
vile presents much heater and clean
er appearance than formerly and
citizens are taking greater interest in
their own surroundings. But there is
always room for improvement.
