 Heavy rains during the morning, with lowering clouds until past the noon hour, prevented many from It, tending the Memorial day exercises. However, a goodly number were pree- ent and participated in the part as. sumed by the remaining veterans, in the several cemeteries and at the monument, while the church was filled with an audience but little less than in former years. Delegations from the post visited the outlying cemeteries and decoFat d the graves of former comrades. At II o'olock the veterans formed in line at the town hall and with a long line of friends, 3 on foot and in carriages, marched to1 the cemeteries in the Center. Rev. ss Mir. Graham, pastor of the loOa1 Oon.s church, made brief and eloquent address, and Rev Mr Good sell of Ashford offered prayer. After che graves of both veterans of the1 civil war and the war of the revolu-1 tion had received beautiful decora. tions of native and cut fowerR, the| line reformed and, led by fife and drum, marched to the monument on the green near the town hall Here, just as the colors were dipped, thSI and the ball mounts were nearly surrounded with flowers, after which Alvarado Howard made Q brief address and Rev. MT Goodsell offered prayer. After the monday lunch the veterans marched from their hall to- the church, and the exercises there were begun under the charge of Com rade M. P. J. Walker. Rev.
