Brother ... Citizens to the
 . Memory of Friends
 Last Sunday at the opera house appropriate memorial services were held by Williams aerie, No. 751, Fraternal Order of Eagles, in mem ory of Miller (Cap) P. Smith, their departed brother. The hall was we'll filled and the rostrum was beauti- {, fully decorated with flowers, myr- tie and forget me- -nots. lilies and roses, the former being the official flowers of the order in significance.

 The music by both choir and or chestra was excellent, while the ad- dresses by Attorney, X. N. Sleeves, Rev. E. G. Decker and Hon. H. F. Ashurst were splendid, each touch ing the hearts of the audience and in some cases moving them to tears. Without wishing to detract in the least from the others we must say that the address of MT. Ashurst was especially appropriate as well as eloquent; in fact it was the best, in our opinion, he has ever delivered.
 On Wednesday at 10 am. the business houses having closed for the occasion. regular Decoration Day or Memorial services were held at the cemetery in memory of the departed veterans of the civil war, at which time the graves of friends and loved ones were not forgotten.
 As per the arrangements made after the Eagles services last Sun day, the people gathered at the opera house, from whence the march was taken up. First came the Knights of Pythias band of four teen pieces, playing a beautiful dirge; following them were the school children, bearing flags and flowers, the little girls coming first, dressed in white, and the boys inn mediately after; then came the citi- zens and members of the various fraternal orders, a number of car riages bringing up the rear. At the cemetery the band rendered nun Der of beautiful selections. songs by the choir and a prayer by Rev. E. G. Decker completed the ceremony. after which flowers were strewn by loving hands over the graves of the departed.
