\ Beautiful and LauddbIe Custom.

On the third of June last year, the
Varina Jefferson Davis chapter U. D. G..
inaugurated the beautiful custom of in
viting the "out-of-town' Veterans and
their wives, to be it's guests on decora-
tion day. This was carried out again
this year in most delightful manner.
They were met at the trains by CON-
mittee from the chapter, and we're taken
to the Reiman House, where they were
entertained and dined by the chapter.
Commander D. T. Mitchell Of the Hugh
A. Reynolds camp, was among the guests.
In the afternoon the Confederate yeter-
ans attended the church in body and
were assigned conspicuous places in the
front pews while the exercises were be-
ing rendered. The privilege of having
these brave Veterans and their wives
with the chapter on this hallowed day,
is the hope of every member, for many
years to come.

MEMORIAL DAY
FITTINGIY OBSERVED
BY U. D. C. chspters snd Cemetery
Associations OF Greenwood.

Last Monday, the third OF June, was
an ideal day for carrying out the appro-
pirate and impressive program which
had been arranged by tho two chapters
Of the United Daughters of the Confea-
eracy, and the two cemetery associa-
tions Of Greenwood, for the purpose of
celebrating the anniversary Of the birth
OF Jefferson Davis, Ind of doing honor to
the memory Of the brave Confederate
soldiers whose remains rest under the
sod in our two cemeteries.
The program, as published, was exe-
cuted in faultless style, rejecting much
credit on those in charge. The prayer
Of the Rev. W. W. Harrison, was most
eloquent tribute to the memory Of the
Confederate soldier and the South.
Mrs. Robt. Parish's rendition upon the
pipe organ was sweet, while "Tenting
on the old camp ground as sung by the
quartette, Messrs. Harrison, Stinson,
Dick and Hutchinson, could not have
been excelled. During the recital by
Miss Stella Steele, of "The Soldiers
Grave" every pulse must have beat in
unison to the thought.
After the conclusion of the ceremon-
les at the First Presbyterian church, the
procession marched to Greenwood cem-
etery, following the choir which was
composed Of Mrs. John W. Hicks, as or
ganist, and Mrs. N. s. Wright, Misses
Greer, Petty, Hight and Dennis; Messrs.
Moses and Dennis.
Then in the following order came the
Confederate Veterans, the honoreG
guests OF the occasion; the little girls,
clad in the colors of the Confederacy,
who had been selected to place wreaths
and garlands Of flowers upon the graves
Of the Confederate dead; then came the
concourse Of people.
Upon arriving at the Greenwood cem-
etery, Mrs. John W. Hicks choir rem
dered the pathetic song, "Where are the
Friends that are Absent Today, during
which, the people stood with reverent
and bowed heads while many tear
moistened the cheeks of those who stood
there.

were mingled the woices of all who were
present.
The procession then took up its line
of march to the Oda Fellows cemetery
and upon arriving there Mrs. Hicks
choir sang "The Vacant Chair" while
ever and anon, could be heard the sigh
from those whose heartstrings had been
severed, as the tears trickled down their
cheeks.
Judge Coleman then introduced Hon.
Ed. Stone, who paid masterful tribute
to the valor and patriotism Of the Con-
federate soldier, and his help-meet, not
less brave, who buckled the swords up
on the men that went to the front, to
battle for their fresides and constitu-
tional liberty.

ELEVATOR FIRE
Heising Elevator at Omemee burned
last week.

11clSIuS LAcVdCOI dC Oluclllcc UuTllcu
last week.
About one o'clock Tuesday
morning fire was discovered
in the elevator owned by the
Heising company. The fire was
in the cupola and could not be
reached with water. The citi-
zens turned out with the fire
engine but saw it was useless
to attempt to do anything with
the elevator on fire and con-
centrated their efforts in saving
the st. Anthony and Dakota
elevator, located close to the
Heising. It was most fortunate
that the night was a calm one
or the town might have been
wiped out. AS it was large
cinders we're thrown as far as
down to the Shamrock hotel
and Perrins barn. Constant
vigilance was requ ired to keep
fire from breaking out in other
places. The roof on the shed
of the St. Anthony elevator was
smoking several times, but the
building was saved by keeping
the hose turned on it. If it had
caught fire the main part of the
town would have gone, as quite
a breeze had worked up by five
o'clock. The elevator contain
ed IL, 900 bushels of wheat and
the building and contents were
fully insured. 1t is not detinite-
ly known how the fire originat-
ed. Agent Reigner had some
trouble in the afternoon in
getting his elevator to run and
the fire may have been
caused by an overheated box.
And it may have been caused
by spontaneous combustion. 1t
is not likely that it will be re-
built. Herald.

The same old trees, and children there,
Are playing games at the place where

At the old school house.
A long, low house, all painted white,
Eight broad windows, four on each side;
In front the door, showing the signs
OF many knocks, at former times,
Thresholds are worn almost to lines
At the old school-house.
And there's the desk, and the old chair
Which held teachers, both cross and fair.
There's the corner, in which l stood,
Wiping my eyes, pulling my hood,
Being punished when | was good,
At the old school house.
The same old seats, the marks of time
Are plainly seen. That one was mine,
The other one, across the aisle,
A brown-eyed boys, who oft did smile,
And thus the time we did beguile,
At the old school house.

Down on my hand, crushing it all.
