 Veterans Go To Norfolk
 After THE NEWS went to press last week Rev. Father Ramon found it would be impossible for him to be in Ca naan on Sunday morning consequently the memorial service, which it was an nounced would be held in St Joseph's church, was, by invitation of Rev. T. R. Wallace, held in the Methodist, MT. Wallace preached an eloquent and in spring sermon appropriate to the occa- sion. The veterans III attendance num- ten. This morning the graves in the Canaan and surrounding cemeteries were decorated by comrades living in the vicinities and by invitation of the Norfolk veterans, the members of the Canaan Post will be their guests this afternoon, leaving here on the 12:42 train. They will probably return at 4:12. Several Canaanites will probably accom- pany the old soldiers as the Memorial | Day address at Norfolk will be delivered by Governor Rollin s. Woodruff.

 | Hunts circus was here last Thursday | afternoon and evening and gave perfor- manees that were practically the same as those of last year. Since Canaan last saw this outfit, side show has grown onto it but if any fat has grown on the horses since then it wasn't discernable. The fattest horse in the outfit was the donkey which drew the clowns cart. The parade has expanded from band wagon to a band wagon, the aforesaid donkey and cart, few horse back riders, the ticket wagon and cage con taining sure enough lion, canine dog and real man. Neither ate the other while they were here although we don't know what has happened since. Judg- ing from the references which our ex- changes and correspondents made to it, Hunts show is laughing stock every where and entirely because of the ap- pearance of the outfit and particularly the poor condition of their horses It's fairly good little show and little i'm proving of appearance would assist wonderfully in obtaining public respect for the aggregation.
 School Notes
 The Turner Art exhibit opened this morning at Town Hall and will continue until and including Saturday. The ex- tent and purpose of the exhibit was announced in last weeks paper. Go and view the pictures. It will be worth your while.
 Schools in town are closed to-day. o. N Hall, the state attendance agent, made an official visit to town Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.
 The pupils are interested in pair of scarlettanagers which hover about the school grounds. We are hoping that all the towns people will take an interest in the com ing art exhibit. It will be well worth seeing and the money is to be used for the benefit of the schools.
