DECORATION DAY

In less than two weeks will occur the day upon which the country will honor her dead.
 May 30 has become a great day throughout the land, and flowers will be strewn upon the graves of thousands of the dead east, west, north and south. There is no day celebrated in our land with greater solemnity than is this day. It is probably our most beautiful day of the year. Flowers cover the graves of many heroes = of faithful friends and of loved ones who lie silent in the city of the dead.
 Will Yuma observe this day ?
 Our dead heroes and loved ones, who lie under six feet of sod, are entitled to the same |, honor as are other noble sons and daughters whose resting place will be covered with a blanket of roses.
 Who will take this matter in hand and arrange for @ fit ob- servance of the day
