clouds and high wind. Citizens we're
free in furnishing autos and all SOL
diers and members of the Relief Corps
who wished to so had easy conveyance
to Hazelwood. The plan of dividing
the cemetery into eight sections with
captain for each and enough helpers
to do the work, made the decorating OF
the graves easier thap ever before. The
large stage at the opera house was filled
with children from the grades who
sang and marched IN a way to win
much applause. Rowland Manuel, OF
the college, sang most effectively. THE
Vacant Chair while commander and
post members stood with bowed heads
and hearts stirred with sad memories.
Miss Pearl Neel delivered with hne
effect the, immortal ADDRESS OF Lincoln
at Gettysburg. The address by Byron
c. Ward, of Des Moines. found d quick
response in the hearts of citizens and
soldiers because he talked lust like
one of our folks" The exercises closed
with the singing of America by ne
audience, standing, led by Mr.. Manuel
After the close the "old boys" crowded
around the speaker Of the day to grasp
his hand some to talk over old times.
