AoNoRED THE: / DEAD
Memorial Day Most. Successfully
Observed by Citizens Of Will.
mar and Vicinity. "

The Memorial Day exercises of this
year will long be remembered as the
most successful ever held In this city.
The day was an ideal one, with clear
skies and beautiful sunshine, and this
fact had great deal to do with the
successful outcome of the different
numbers on the program, which was
carried out With remark able precision
and promptness. The splendid wealth
er attracted large number of country
people and Our citizens also turned
out en- masse to see the parade and
take in the exercises at the park.
All business was suspended at noon
and rybody was given an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the holiday during the
afternooon. The city presented gala
appearance, many of our citizens hav-
ing done much In the way OF decorat-
ing with the national colors. The
veterans who we're in the city were
we'll entertained and every effort was
put forth In the way of showing them
due honor. A novel feature was q
soldiers camp, where Col. Heg Post
kept "open house." Co. D, Spanish
American Veterans, was represented
by about fifteen members. The SOL
der dead who lie buried in the ceme-
teries in this city were remembered
with the customary tributes from the
civil war veterans and the day was q
most sacred one to their memory.
The parade, which preceded the ex-
ercises At the park, was a most inspir-
ing sight and was we'll calculated to
call forth ones feelings of patriotism
and love for his country and those
who gave their lives that the nation
might live. The program at the park
was splendidly carried out and was
listened to with marked attention on
the part of those who had gathered.
Rev. Lafayette Thompson, the speaker
OF the day, was introduced by Senator
Thorpe and he delivered . most STIR
ring and patriotic address,. In vivid
manner he reviewed the many trials OF
the soldiers who, inspired with an
undying love for their land and flag,
went forth 10 battle for right and free.
dom.
We are sorry that time and space
do not permit . more extensive men
tion of the different parts OF the pro-
gram. Suffice to say that,all who Had
anything to do with the arranging
and carrying out of the program are
to be heartily cong ratulated upon the
SUCCESS which attended their efforts.
