Mr.. Blodgett's little boy, Joe, years
old, had the bone broken in his left leg
near the body Tuesday. The large door
of the barn was blown by wind so it
caught his leg between the bottom of the
door and a plank wharfing. The door
struck his older brother, years old, and
he bounded into the barn floor in front
of the wheel of a large wagon, but jump
ed back just in time to save being run
over as the door also struck the horses
which frightened them so they started
about six feet ahead. The older boy was
not injured and the little one seems as
comfortable as could be expected.

Memorial Day Exerolses-A Mastery
Address.

Union hall was filled with an audience
in sympathy with the OCCASIONS sacred
Importance. Upon the PLATFORM besides
the speaker of the Gay, were Col Dutton
of Florida, Col. Franklin of Townshend
and Rev. N. S. Moore. Birchard post,
G. A. r., conducted the impressive ritual
istic service. A song, Scatter the
Flowers" followed Col Franklin intro
duced Rev. ]. S. Lyon of Holyoke, Mass,
whom the post engaged long ago. He
was a Windham boy, and was reared in
South Londonderry. Perhaps but for his
love for visiting his aged mother and
scenes of his boyhood around Glebe noun
tain we could not have had the rare treat
of his mastery address, which was fer
vent and eloquent presentation of the
live issues of the day. While Mr.. Lyons
did not make a special point of the war
style of grafton parts of his address were
tactful tribute to the veterans. He
said 1.-THE country you helped to preserve
or 1.-The liberty you helped to win," and
again, "you know these things. l only re-
mind you of them in passing. The coun-
try into which you wrought your man
hood is worthy of your steel" Some of
the questions skillfully presented were
dealing with subordinate races, CONNER
cial affairs, immense wealth, graft and
kindred questions, the foreigner at our
doors, socialism gaining tremendously
and the need of meeting 1t fairly; meeting
all of these questions with sturdiness of
courage and clearness of thought Not
only our institutions must be preserved,
but we must preserve our hills, preserve
| nature. If forests must be cut let them
be cut scientifically. Among live issues
of the day one could hardly fail to de-
tect the liquor problem.
The fascination of language is so great
that the public is under lasting obliga-
ton for the rich presentation of the large
issues of the day.
A song, I'm Memoriam," followed. and
| the inspiration of America" by the
audience was a fitting prelude for the
| benediction.
A drum corps led the line of march to
| the cemetery, where the Relief corps of
Birchard post held ritual service. Upon
return to the hall dinner was served to
| 100 people.

what he referred to but presume it was
the large list of errors that was to be
piled up on both sides and which proved
the principal feature of the game-that
is, If errors can be termed feature

safe hits, two of which were made by
Johnson, who played a good clean game.

plays everyone seemed to be having a
good time and we shall be glad to see
