 The holiday Thursday was observed in the town in the usual quiet man. ner. The unfavorable weather condi- ,tions caused by several quite heavy showers made the outdoor part of the Memorial day exercises very unpleas- ant for those who took part, as we'll as the public. The usual large number gathered at Memorial hall in the after dress by Maj. H. M. Brewster of Springfield. The musical program was also much enjoyed. The dele gation to the various cemeteries to decorate the graves of old comrades and the procession to the No. 1 ceme- tery were identical with the program of former years, the only change being that through the kindness and fore thought of the local camp, Sons of Veterans, the veterans were provided with suitable conveyances and were not called upon to march. A fine dinner was served the members of the Grand Army post and Sons of Veter- ans in the Grand Army hall by the members of the Relief Corps. The children who took part in the exer- cises were much pleased with the fine lunch served them in the committee rooms by the Sons of Veterans
