by l. w. w. Activity.
 A dreary, drizzly day had the ef- | feet Thursday of reducing the num- Der that came out in Danielson to wit 1 ness the memorial exercises under the | auspices of the c. A. R., w. R. c. and l s. of ", but the arrangements were carried out as planned. Many who | had been to East Ktllingly, where i'm pressive exercises had been held in the morning, returned to Danielson for the afternoon exercises, which were held in the town hall, following the forming of the procession of the day at G. A. R. hall in the Keystone build ing from where the marchers pro- ceeded at 1.15 to the town building.
 The Memorial day address was de- livered by Rev. Orion L. GrisWold, pas tor of the Methodist church. who said in substances:
 ''The civil war was & war of self preservation preserve the union of the states The principle in which the north believed was that great truth which was enunciated by our fore fathers when they declared that All are born free and equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness The conflict was the result of two different interpretations of that declaration. There was a se- ries of struggles between the intellec- | tual giants of the north and of the | south, which led the hostile states to tho point of hurting defiant treason upon the patient north in the form of cannonball; cannonbau behind which was powder fired by the hand 1 of hate It struck old Sumter full in | the front It moved not a stone. it 1 drew not a drop of blood; but it l transformed a peaceable people into i an aggressive, fearless and unconquer- | able army, resulting in the bloodiest war known to mankind
 | Liberty is not a mere child of for l tune; no merely tender, fair and deli cate form of beauty; no selfish crea- ture claiming for self unmeasured h- cense. It is an offspring of the living God and the choicest of divine gifts. l The emblem of our liberty has its story and tells it we'll Our veterans love the dear old flag They love it 1 for what it is; for what it represents and for the personal ties that bind it 1 to their hearts. This generation should 1 co- operate with them in preserving unsullied this, the banner of the great est nation in the world.
 '"The women did not sit idly by. They cheered the soldier boys on the way, earned money to help support the army. Some even bore arms in the war. Invaluable was the work done by the woman's sanitary commission. But none among the living and none among the dead regret the sacrifices made. Such is the American citizen; such is the American patriot glorious, brave, unselfsh.
 We do well to honor the remnant of the army living, and also to cherish the memory of the great army of the dead. There should be a benevolent disposition shown towards these vali- ant, heroic men of the civil war"
 Following the exercises in the hall there was the usual ceremonies at the Soldiers monument at Davis park and later a strewing of flowers and the paying of tributes at the graves of the honored dead in Westfield and St.
 James cemeteries.
 The professional part of the days exercises was watched by large mum
 Der of townspeople. Members of Col. Edward Anderson camp, s. of V, made

 ranks of the veterans and music was
