MEMORIAL DAY.
The Day Sacred to the Memory OF Amer
ica's Deceased Defenders.

Five weeks from this time, Thurs
day, May 30th. the surviving veterans
of the war of the rebellion will again
call the roll of their comrades who
have passed the last muster and gone
to that bourne from which no travel
er ever returns; and, assisted by the
true and loyal people of this country,
old and young, male and female, they
will decorate with flowers the graves
of their fellow comrades, and with
appropriate services Will recall to
mind the sacrifices they made that a
union of states might be maintained
and liberty, with law and order,
might march hand in hand, an object
lesson and inspiration to the entire
world.
This day should be one of the most
sacred of all days to every true patri-
OF, and it should be devoted TO hon.
oring the dead and in;tilling lessons
of patriotism and love of freedom,
truth and Justice into the minds OF
all the citizens Of this great republic;
and in an especial manner it should
be the means of intoxicating such a
spirit into the minds Of the boys and
girls and young men and women OF
the nation.
There has been disposition in pas,
years on the part OF the thoughtless,
to make this day day of SPORT
base ball. horse racing. fishing,
and general amusement. Now
all the metropolitan papers Of char.
acter and all the country dailies and
weekly papers are demanding that
memorial day shall be day of patri
otic devotion, commemorative of the
glorious achievements of the men
whose graves are dedicated with
springs early flowers. and that the
youth Of this country, into whose
hands its destiny will soon be placed
shall feel that 1t is day too great,
too grand and too sacred to be given
over to the common amusements.

/ plead earnestly for the sacred SO.
lemnity of Mememorial day and for a
spontaneous and hearty cooperation
of all my countrymen in the fitting
observance of the day, believing that
most of the young men will join with
US OF the G.. A. r. in proper observ
ance Of the day-such an observance
as will honor the living and the dead
and better prepare all for every crisis
that the future may have In store.

I confidently believe that Plymouth
and all of Marshall county will be
among the foremost in proper OBJ

Albert Head, who was indicted a
few months ago by the grand jury OF
this county for forgery, was brought
before the circuit court last week
and acquitted by reason Of the indict-
ment being quashed. He was again
arrested by a warrant issued from
Justice Molter's court on charge OF a
ike crime committed in the state OF
Nebraska, but was again acquitted
on Tuesday morning on trial for ex-
tradition to that state. Senator
Parks was the attorney for the de.
fendant and Judge Hess for the state.
Easter Sunday was late this year and
do you know why? Simply because
of the doings of the moon. Easter
is the first Sunday after the first full

March moon was full on that day, SC
that the next full moon did not come

her presence-had ever existed for linda. Besides,
It seemed physically impossible for me to speak

fell from Heaven, he lost the faculty OF angelic
