LIBERTY.
Memorial Day was observed by f. H..
Bradstreet Post at this village in the usual
manner. In the forenoon the graves of the
soldiers in the several cemeteries in this
and surrounding towns were decorated as
heretofore. 1t is observed that as the years
go by there are more flags required and
fewer comrades to furnish the flags and do
the decorating. At 2 o'clock p. hi. line
was formed in front of G. A. 4. hall which
consisted of about twenty old soldiers and
|
the Eureka Band of this village, and march,
ed to the church. where the exercises of for
mer years were repeated. The address was
by Rev. A. A. Smith of Belfast and was
highly satisfactory, both to the soldiers and
the citizens. The singing was by the Uni
| versalist church choir, Belfast, Miss Marian
Wells soprano, Miss Emma Skay alto, Mr.
Luther Hammond bass, Ralph l. Morse
tenor, Mrs. H. A. Drinkwater organist
| This choir is too well known to need
encomums from any one. The singing was
much enjoyed by all, as was the trombone
solo, "Tentng tonight" by Mr.. H. a.
| Drinkwater of the Belfast band. But
the most affecting thing, and whic
struck the soldiers the deepest, wa
the bass solo sung by DR.. WI. Cargill,
entitled "The Soldiers Dream The most
| notable fact was the small number of COM
rades in line-not more than twenty-while
at the first Memorial services held here,
| when the address was by Col Philo Jersey
| of Belfast $40 comrade. were in line About
one half of them have been mustered in on
| the other side; some are now too old and
! feeble to keep up the membership in our Or
| der, and others have moved away. But we
think that our numbers compare favorably
with other parts in the State, for it is notic
| ed that at Rockland, where one of the larg-
est posts in the State is located, but 81 COM
rades were in line on Memorial Day..
Memorial exercises were held in the school
at South Liberty May Doth with the follow
ing program: Exercise, "Why We Love
| Our flag" Delbert Fuller, Rayce Bartlett,
Rose Cunningham; exercise, sour Flag"
| Alice Fuller, Hazel Flanders, Margie Harri-
man exercise, sour Country's Flag" Frank
Flanders, Robert Overlook, Lynda Fuller:
recitation, Hazel Flanders; exercise, Red,
| White and Blue, Clinton Hartman, Leon
ard Fuller, LinwoOd Richardson. The
teacher gave talk on patriotism and good
citizenship, with extracts from the life of
Benedict Arnold and "The Man without a
Country" Exercises were also held in the
Primary school,. Arthur Richie with a
party of friends from Belfast was in town
last week on fishing trip
