 The many friends and acquaint- anoes of Dr. A. A. Lawrence of West Medway, Mass, in this vicinity will be interested to know that he is slow ly recovering from a protraoted ill., ness which began with congestion of the lungs while he was on his Cape God route. He is now at his home, but is quite feeble.
 Miss Cunning led the Endeavor conservation meeting in the Oongre- gational vestry in the evening. It was we'll attended. Nearly every one present took some part. in accord ance with the pledge, and the meet ing was pleasant and profitable. The annual business meeting for the choice of officers was postponed until next Sunday evening at Baptist conference room. A nominating committee was appointed.
 Mrs. Robbins is in receipt of a paper from her early friend, Janet Fuller Paul, of Geneseo, Ill, in which pleasant mention is made of Ewart Jaques of Kansas City, who stands at the head of the fifteen hundred public school pupils in that city. The youth is the son of Mrs. Paul. daughter; and is to spend the summer with his grandparents, MT. and Mrs. Paul, in Geneseo. It is interesting to note the promising offshoots of the old Connections stock and to know that Captain Paul of Union. we'll known and much respected locally, of whom the old people used to tell many characteristic incidents and anecdotes, has so worthy a great-grandson.
 Flags were out on the Hill all Dec- oration day. A good many visited the cemeteries with flags and flowers. Mrs. Helen Preston Brown of New tonville, Mass, sent flags. One larger than the rest was placed on the crown of the hill in the old cemetery in memory of the unknown dead. The grave of Mrs. Deluka Holt, army nurse, received another. The carna- tions on Charles T. Preston's grave from the command in Springfield were from Mrs. Himmelar's green houses and were very fine. There were flowers for all. How nice it would be if the town would provide the flags and appoint committee to place them. No soldiers grave should be forgotten nor neglected, but what is everybody's business is nobody's We should have some patriotic organ ization, with the observance of Me- morial day as one of it's chief obliga- tions. Possibly, in time, the W. O. T. U. will take it up and make a success of it. One year the Baptist Sunday school provided the flags, and a good many years they have been given by one or two individuals. Who will help to organize the Will lington Citizens club, to which the l children up and growing could belong, with membership fee of dime, all funds to be used for the public and proper observance of Memorial day | Any good object that brings the pu- pills of the schools together for days | outing Is a benefit to the civic spirit, | and one thing that should be culti- | vated in every place, however small, is town pride.
