Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-05-28

Thirty-six years have passed
since the Grand Army of the Re-
public inaugurated the custom OF
Memorial Day for decoration OF
the graves of the dead soldiers
who fought for the preservation
of the Union. The commemoration
was promptly accepted as a Ma
tional institution, and Decoration
Day has since then ranked with
independence Day as a National
observance of honor to patriotism
and devotion in the service of the
country.
That significance Of the day
cannot be too deeply pondered or
too impressively taught. For the
greater part of the thirty-six
years during which this commem-
oration has been annually held it's
appeal to the general sentiment
lay strongly in the fact that to
the vast majority of the nation it
included a personal tribute to
some near and dear one-broth-
er, father, relative or friend. But
the rapid progress of the years
has brought up a new generation,
to whom the dead of the early six
ties and the trial by fire in which
they gave their lives are not even
memories. That class is too apt
to regard the day as one simply
for sport and merrymaking, with
out thought Of the high meanings
with which it is really charged.
To let the day become a mere
occasion of diversion to the mass
of the people would be failure
of loyalty to its purpose. TO
maintain the full significance
there should be systematic teach
Ling of the vast issues of National
existence and human freedom in
volved in that four years strug-
gle. 1t should be seen that the pa
triotism of the Civil war upheld
really greater principles than the
patriotism of the Revolution. The
earlier concerned only a separate
National existence, while the Ia
ter was for the maintenance of
the National unity and the com
plete establishment of human
freedom.
There are many reasons why
there should be earnest dissemina-
tion of the principles for which
that was fought, that due honors
may be given to those who fought
| for National life and freedom.
There is from one quarter an evi-
dent attempt to becloud and per-
vert the history of that conflict
There is from another a disposi-
ton to minimize or ignore the
truths for which hundreds OF
thousands of men braved death.
Joined with the beautiful cere,
monies of the day there should be
the resolution to keep clear and
unmistakable for the instruction
of coming generations the history
of the great struggle and the i'm,
perishable doctrines which were

MEMORIAL DAY

established by the National tri-
umph.
Each recurring Memorial Day
swells the debt of gratitude that
!pours forth spontaneously from
all hearts and teaches fresh les
sons of patriotism and love OF
valor to the youth of our land.
1t is a beautiful custom, that OF
spreading flowers over the graves
of loved ones gone before and one
that can be observed everywhere
with no thoughts of bitterness or
regret. 1t has done more to wipe
out sectional lines and make us
one country, in spirit, progress
and ambition, than any other
agency. North and South and
East and West can unite on Dec
grafton Day to honor those alike
who wore the blue and the gray
in the desperate conflict of forty
years ago. Time has softened all
wounds and one flag waves from
Lake Superior to the Gulf and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and, best of all, no patriotic
American, North or South, would
now wish to have it different. We
are once more a united nation,
moving steadily forward in the
destined pathway marked out for
the greater United States Of
America.
The Decoration Day services
will be the most impressive in the
history of Sistersville. Company

pronounced it local disease, and pre-.

stant failing to cure with local treat.

quires constitutional treatment. Halls

COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

ENJOYABLE OCCASION.
The Masonic Club Holds Open House,
Last Evening.

The Masonic Club held formal
opening of it's new fitted apartments.
last evening and brilliant occasion
was the result. Fully 800 people We're
present, representing the Masonic
body, the wives. and families of the
members. together with invited friends.
1t is sufficient to say that those as
sembed comprised gathering of some
of the most prominent citizens of Wa
terville. The several rooms were pro-
fusely ornamented with potted plants
and other decorations.
The reception line consisted of Emil
nent Commander Cyrus w. Davis of
ST. Omer Commandery, and Mrs.
Davis High Priest Charles p. Davis of
the Taconnett Chapter and Mrs. Davis.
Francis Wheeler of the Blue Lodge
and Mrs. Wheeler and Hon. c. F. John
son.
Two billiard tables furnished ample
opportunity for a rich display of pail
atable dainties. The reception was
made a keen delight by the frequent
selections of music furnished by five
pieces of Halls orchestra. At the close
of formalities dancing was held by all
who cared and whist playing was al
so INDUCED in. 1t was the most en-
joyable social function that has been
given the citizens of Waterville for
many weeks.
