Successful Camp Fire In the Evening.
The national holiday Thursday was
most 6ttingly observed by Chamberlin
Post, No. 1, G. A. R., and their friends
and the public exercises were highly in
structive and profitable. The parade
was one of the best ever seen here and
the preliminary exercises at the Summer
street schools was attended by hundreds
of interested spectators. Music Hall
was fairly we'll filed to hear our former
townsman, Prof Charles D. Hazen of
Smith College, and he gave the most
scholarly address ever heard here on
Memorial day. 1t was historical
resume of the achievements of three of
our great statesmen. Washington, JJeffer-
son and Lincoln The first represented
unity in our government; the second
democracy, while Lincoln combined both
ideas in one. Prof Hazen introduced
into his address many comments from
foreign sources upon the work of these
three statesmen and clearly showed that
the work of each was necessary for the
formation and preservation of our
nation.

The program was we'll received and all
the artists received hearty encores. The
seventh grade of the Summerville schools
made decided hit and showed what the
study of music is doing for our scholars.
Mr.. Young's solo was finely executed
and his orchestra gave some choice
classical selections with a grace and
finish that showed the results of long
! practice. Frank French, as usual, was
repeatedly recalled and delighted young
! and old. This was Mrs. Frost's first
appearance this season in her old home
and her selections showed continued
improvement in an art in which she has
long excelled and she was enthusiastical-
ly encored after each selection. Mr.,
Stone brought to his hearers the message
of Emperor William and Mr. May spoke
most encouragingly OF the tolerance and
"get together" spirit of the times.
The Post through its commander and
adjutant issue the following card OF
thanks:
Every comrade of Chamberlin Post
in this public manner desires to express
their appreciation of the enthusiastic
support they received and heartily
assisted in the observance of Memorial
! day exercises. The success attending
them excelled our most sanguine antici-
| pations, and could not have been
attained without this support from, the
entire citizenship of the town, as well as
of organizations and individuals. These
memorials are coming more closely to
the hearts of the old veterans, as the
number of the Roll of Honor" increases,
| That the flag for which they fought, the
honor and prestige Of this our beloved
land may be maintained, is our dearest
! wish.
