An Interesting Celebration.

Farnsworth Post, of Mount Vernon,
\. Y, engaged in the beautiful cere-
mony of tree planting one Saturday
afternoon couple of weeks ago The
ceremonies and exercises began about
3 o'clock with a few Introductory re-
marks by Col. Hawley, who was intro
duced by Commander Lilly. Comrade
Hawley in his remarks said that as far
AS it is known Mount Vernon Post Is
the first G. A. r. Post to inaugurate
the custom of planting trees, and went
on to say:
This tree is not placed here to per-
petuate the memory of you men who
fought and bled for your country in the
COS. That memory is imperishable, i'm
mortal and needs no refreshing in the
minds of the younger generations. But
this ceremony does commemorate the
fact of a living spirit of patriotism to
those of the future years who will walk
beneath its branches when it has reared
itself tall against the sky He dweit
upon the necessity of such things to re-
mind Americans Of the patriotism
which animated the heroes who saved
the Union from dissolution and the
beauty Of the thought symboiized by
the planting OF the tree.
Dr. e. c. Broom. Superintendent of
the Schools. followed with a brief
speech. The tree Is the symbol of
that this one should be planted here
to-day to keep ever fresh in the memo
ries of future generations the achieve
ments and triumphs of those who
fought for their country in the war of
the rebellion. The spirit of '76 was re-
vfvified in the COS. and both will be re-
called by the significance of this me
mortal tree
He added in closing that the tree
would serve as perpetual and Iivinz;
monument to the members of Farms
worth Post.
Col. Tompkins was the closing speak
er on the program. He put novel con-
strrction upon the tree planting speak
ing of it as an unselfish work prosecut-
ed In hehalf OF those future generations
who should walk beneath its shade in
the stiffness of Summer days, while
thru its leaves the winds whispered the
century-old tale of patriotism.

Widows Pensions.

Old Widows makes an appeal for an
age pension for widows who sent their
husbands to the war. These are now
from IS to so years old, and had as
hard time at home as their husbands
had on the field. She thinks that this
should be recognized by a pension for
them according to age, the same as
their husbands.

served in the 117th III. and whose resi-
dence is at Edwardsville, ILL.,, makes a
strong plea for more liberal pensions.
