Here in Langdon next Tuesday it is
understood that the custom adopted last

ing the graves of departed relatives and
friends on Memorial Day will be more
extensively observed than ever. The
day is one that naturally has carried
with it an added significance the past
two years and is commemorative of the
heavy toll of death and disaster suffered
10y Langdon people when our town was
visited by cyclone On Saturday May29th
1909. Our people will not on Tuesday
next withhold the homage and patriot
ism which on Memorial Day is extended
to the now rapidly thinning ranks Of OLD
Glory's body guard in the fight
that saved the Union, but feel that the
day when the token of flowers is taker
and placed on the soldiers grave, there
are many who will find the day appro
pirate for the decorating of graves Of
relatives and friends who have answered
Deaths summons. There should not be
a burial plot in either of the Langdor
cemeteries but what receives a token ii
observance of Decoration Day in it's true
spirit and intent.
