MEMORIAL DAY. PATRIOT|CALLY
OBSERVED BY PEOPLE OF CANON
Great Throng Of Citizens join the G. A. R. and Auzasy
Organizations In Paying Homage to the Soldier and
Sailor Dead. E1oquent Address Delivered at the Opera
House BY Rev Hatcher In the Afternoon

Wnlch Cnanged Cne course OF naval
architecture by destroying the Con-
federate iron clad, "Merrimac," in
Hampton Roads. The little flower
boat of yesterday was quickly
wrecked on the rocks by the raging
torrent fthe Arkansas river. much to
the regret of the hundreds of people
who watched its Inflated course from
the banks of the stream.
On returning to the city from the
cemetery the veterans of the war were
served with a splendid luncheon by
the ladies of the Relief Corps and the
circle at Elks hall, which was follow
ed by an informal program of enter
tainment, that was greatly enjoyed.
The annual address was delivered
at the opera house by Rev. G. W.
Hatcher, pastor of the First Baptist
church, at O'Clock in the afternoon
and was one of the most eloquent and
masterful of its kind ever heard in
Canon City. 1t is matter of regret
that we are unable on account of lack
of time to reproduce at least portion
of Rev. Hatcher's address for the ben
eft of our readers. He said that there
was courage, bravery and heroism on
both sides during the Civil war, and,
that the partisans of each of the con-
tending forces of forty-five years ago
had at last forgotten their rancor and
were able to accord to each other sin
cerity and honesty. as we'll as cour-
age. He praised the volunteer on both
sides. The general. he said, would
take care of himself but the names
of the volunteers were forgotten.
Everybody remembers the name of
Leonidas who cammonded the brave
little band at the pass of Thermop-
elea, but nobody knows the names of
any of the three hundred that perished
there with him. There is a slav-
cry now that is almost as
thoralling as the slavery of the negro
over which the war was fought, ac-
cording to Rev. Hatcher He said there
fessional politics which had developed
a tyranny quite as had in its way as
the tyrrany of the cZar of Russia.
There is a slavery in business and
commercial affairs that is little less
| merciless than the slavery of the old
days in human chattels. There Is a
slavery to intemeperance that is more
debasing and inhuman that the slav-
cry of the colored man on the south
ern plantation and Rev. Hatcher
urged his hearers to throw 1t off be-
fore it had poisoned the life and
stifled the conscience of the nation
Rev. Hatcher is a native of Kentucky
and his father was a slave owner be-
| fore the Civil war.
Many business houses and private
residences were decorated with the
national colors and "Old Glory" was
everywhere conspicuous. 1t was a
| memorable day for the old soldiers.
the remnant Of that great army which
fought on stubborn battle field; the
| vast majority Of whose members has
gone before and is now encamped on
the other side of that dark. invisible
river which all must cross in Gods
good time.

Opening of the Skowhegan Opera
House,

The announcement that the new
Skowhegan Opera House will open
with an excellent dramatic attraction
on Saturday evening February 18th
will be received with pleasure by all,
and 1t will be an added pleasure to
know that Mr.. H. L. SWEET, who has
recently returned from New York,
has made arrangements to present at
our Opera House, during the remain
der of the season, several of the most
pronounced dramatic successes of the
present season, direct from the
theatres of New York. and Boston.
In The future the attractions at our
theatre will be furnished exclusively
through the agency of Julius Calm
who books the attractions for about
two hundred of the best theatres in
the country. In this State we will be
on the circuit with the Jefferson
Theatre at Portland, the Empire
Theatre at Lewiston, the Bangor
Opera House, and the Augusta Opera
House.
1t will be the policy of the manage
ment of the Skowhegan Opera House
to give the playgoers line of attrac-
tlons that has not previously been
possible. Arrangements have been
made go that we may accept or reject
any attraction that is offered us, and
it is the hope that we may present
plays that please at the various prices
at which they are offered.
The opening play, 1.-The Wolff
comes to us highly recommended and
Mr.. Frank Owen, manager of the
Bangor opera House, who has had
life long experience in the theatrical
business, stated to the manager of
the Skowhegan Opera House that
1.-THE Wolfo is an excellent drama
and cannot fail to please a Skowhe-
gan audience on the opening night.
However there are some companies
that will come to our theatre during
the remainder of the winter that will
be even better known to the people
Of Skowhegan and the mention of "45
Minutes from Broadway" "Paid in
Full, "The Great Divide, !" "The Man
of the Hour" A Knight for a Day."
and "Polly of the Circus" will be
sufficient to give those who are ia
miliar with the successful productions
of this eason an idea of the dramatic
treat that is in store for them.
In addition to the large productions
just mentioned there will be an oc-
casional stock company at popular
prices, but it is the intention not to
have so many attractions but that on
account of the limited population we
may give them generous support.
Of course if Skowhegan is to continue
to obtain such plays as have been
mentioned we must patronize the
theatre, and the way that seems ad-
visable is to obtain limited number
of attractions.
The Somerset reporter., 1909-02-04
Bills
should be Presented

All bills for work on the Highways
and Bridges of Skowhegan, during the
summer of 1908, should be presented
for settlement on or before February
10. If not presented before that date
payment cannot be made until after
the annual town meeting in March.

What the Colonel Thought.

He was fine type of the old south
ern colonel, the fiery scion of race OF
cavaliers. Also, he was exceeding
wrathy. He had just received a letter
from mana very low sort of pub

pleased him immensely, and he was de-
batting, inwardly, how best to convey
to his vulgar correspondent an ade-
quate expression of his (the colonel 81

But his stenographer was lady.
The colonel snorted, made two or
three false starts, and finally dictated:
"Sir-My stenographer, being lady,

But you, being neither, win readily IN

The Picket s Song.
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fl,

| veSus, IONtI VI my SOul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
| While the waters near me roll
While the tempest still is high"
| 1t was on an ocean steamer,
And one voice above the rest,
| Beautiful, pure, rich, mellow
| All the air with music blest.
Something more faint remembrance,
Broke upon the listeners ear
YES" he thought, tits not the first time
That sweet voice is mine to hear"
Silence followed, then the stranger
Stepped up to the singer rare,
''Were you in the Civil War, sir?''
"A Confederate, / was there
Were ' you yes ese and Mfr Strange to- say
This same hymn was then my comfort,
That you hear us sing today.
Ozark the night, so cold and dreary,
And my boyish heart felt low,
Pacing there on sentry duty,
Dangerously near the foe.
Midnight came, the darkness deepened,
Thoughts of home forebodings brought
So, for comfort, prayer and singing
Dissipated gloomy thought.
"tAll my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my hope from Thee bring,
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
Then strang peace came upon me,
NO more fear and gloom that night,
Dawn came, heralding the morrow,
Ere the first faint streak of light"
Then the other told his story:
81, Union soldier, true,
In those woods that very evening
With my scouts was passing through.
You were standing, and our rifles
Covered you. We heard you sing:
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing
" Twas enough, Boys l said, come,
Lower rifles we'll go home.'"
Alice May Youse.
