Proclamation.

May goth having been dedicated
as sacred to the memory of those
who so nobly gave their lives in
defense OF our land and homes. and
being so dedicated we believe II to
be the duty of every loyal citizen
on that day to lay aside business
cares and labor for at least a part
of the day and join with that small
and rapidly diminishing band OF
veterans, the Grand Army of the
Republic, in paying tribute Of hon
or and respect to the memory OF
those who died defending our coun-
try's flag. We believe this to be
the desire OF the citizens Of St.
Johns.
Therefore, I. II. w. Brice, may
or OF the city of St, Johns. do earn
estly request that you all refrain
from labor and that business houses
be closed on that day from the
hour OF 10 a. m. TO ~ m. and from
p. M. to 3 p. m, and that all per-
sons properly observe that day.

At the Baptist church Sunday
evening at O clock the G. A. r.
Post and w. r. c. held their me-
mortal services. 1t was sort Of
union service Of all the churches in
the city and held in honor Of the
living as well as in memory Of the
dead heroes of the civil war.
Rev. Gates read a passage from
the scriptures, which he was just
closing as we entered. He was
followed by a song by a quintette,
"Tenting tonight on the old camp
ground" Miss Edlefsen at the organ.
Rev. Young then invoked the
divine blessing upon the old heroes
present, and was followed by Mrs.
Keeler with fine solo beautifully
rendered. Mrs. Keeler is possessed
Of very sweet, clear, rich toned
voice.
Mr.. Gates then delivered a most
eloquent address. He recounted
many Of the trying scenes and
events Of the war. the sacrifices not
only by those brave men who went
to the front, but by the equally
brave mothers, sisters, sweethearts
and wives who gave those they
loved the best on earth for the pres
ervation of our beloved country.
While he extolled to the highest
the virtues Of those noble men who
barred their breasts TO the foes of
their country, he also recalled the
fact that at Appomattox court house
the hatchet was buried and that
there Is no divided country, that
instead Of enemies the North and
South are brothers, a united family.
He urged the young among his
audience to remember that our
beautiful land was a trust placed in
our hands, a purchase by the blood
Of the heroes who gave their lives
for It's perpetuity and preservation,
that II was our duty, as heirs Of
this great estate. to SO manage Il.
to so control IL that at the end Of
time we may meet these old heroes
aud pr .sent them this country
unsullied by anything that would
bring a blush Of shame to our
cheeks, nation noted for its
integrity, its purity aud goodness.
He was followed by some very
appropriate remarks by Rev. Lon
ard and the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. Nelson. The
beautiful church Of the Baptist peo.
pie was filed to the limit with q
most attentive audience. thus at
testing their regard for the defenders
Of their homes.

the young mems names who were
the winners.
All together there was delight
ful evening enjoyed by all with
only one feature to mar the pleas
ure Of the event. This was the
ungentlemanly behavior Of some
four or FIVE boys who are just
about the age when they have not
yet attained that degree Of intelli-
gence which will enable them to
recognize the fact that they are
making blooming asses of them
selves instead Of appearing smart
before their fellows. These boys
kept up running fire Of loud re-
marks during part Of the exercises,
disturbing those who wished to
listen to the announcement of the
different events. Perched on the
east fence like a string Of jackdaws,
their remarks were at times not
only impolite but bordered upon
the indecent, and the policeman
would have been justified In taking
one or two of them to the cooler.
In the grand stand these FIVE were
yelling so that one could not hear,
and at one time they were requested
to be still just a moment until the
announcement of the event could be
heard, and replied with insulting
remarks and jeers, keeping it up
until they went out of the en-
closure. Two of these boys were
known and we had fully intended
to give their names and we ought
to do so, but they came around and
apologized for their misconduct,
promised to be more careful Of the
rights of others hereafter and we
let them off. With one of these
boys we think II was thoughtless.

a reputation for ungentlemanliness
and really deserves a reprimand.
OF course we are sorry that
Cresham's pretty girls and fine
young fellows should come over
here and carry away so many Of
the honors; but there Is one conso-
lation, they were taken by one Of
the brightest and incest aggrega-
tons Of young people that has Wis
tied st. Johns In long time and
we sincerely congratulate them
upon the fine showing they made
here. We hope our young folks
will ginger up and wheh our
friends from Gresham come aga In
