MEMORIAL DAY AT
THE SOLDIERS HOME.

The most important day in the
calendar of those who fought for
the preservation of the Union WAS
tittingly observed at the soldiers
home. A gratifying feature of
the days exercises was the large
attendance. Those who have par
tici pated in these services for many
years state that the number who
assemble annually to do homage to
the soldier dead at the home has
been increasing yearly, and Satur-
day was no exception to the gen.
eral rule. 1t WAS an ideal summer
day. The weather conditions could
not have been improved upon for
the outdoor portion of the proceed
ings.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the
officers and soldiers residing at the
home, the Ladies of the q. A. r,
led by Mrs. G. B. Fogle, and citi-
zens formed in line at the chapel.
Headed by the fife and drum corps
and the firing squad, the latter
under command of Sergeant s E..
Foote, Spanish American war vet
eran, the procession marched to
the cemetery. Upon their arrival
they formed in "a half circle around
the handsome monument in the
center of the circle, from the base
of which Adjutant s. II. Seckner
of the home and n. Nj. Dilling-
ham, commander of Joe Hooker
Post, G. A. II delivered the adj
dresses provided for in the ritual
of the order in clear and i'm
pressive manner.
The Ladies of the q. A. r. and
their children then proceeded to
decorate the base of the monument
with flowers and evergreens, the
firing squad delivered their volleys
and the benediction was pro-
nounced by Chaplain Lee. The
graves of 1865 comrades were also
decorated with evergreens and a
flag placed upon the last resting
place of each soldier.
At 100 p. NJ. the exercises in
the chapel began, which consisted
of music, Rotations and addresses.
Dr. Moore was the principal speak
or. In his opening remarks he
humorously stated that he had
spoken 80 many times on occasions
of this kind at the home that he
feared he had told all he knew
He had not proceeded far with his
talk. however, before it became

Der of the academy has written ''let.

Apparently there are very few
amongst our soldiers who never re-
ceiye any letters. But II there is such
a one it is to him that / address this
letter
Il see you from here, my dear young
fellow, see your disappointment and
your sadness when the quarterrnaster
appears in sight with a number oflet-
ters in his hand and calls ont first this
name and that, and deals out to eager
hands envelopes which contain the
good wishes of the family and a moth
|er's kisses. Everyone is grave, and
everyone listens for his name to be
called out. Nothing for you.
You fight, however, just as well as
your comrades. And whilst you only
do as well as they do, you really do
something more. The other soldiers
are fighting for the homes of their an
cestors and for the defense of their
property You have neither home nor
ancestors nor property, and you fight
with as much courage as those who
are getting letters by every post.
Don't be ashamed because no one
has written to you. Be proud Others
have been born in q family whose DO,
|sition is made. You viii have TIE sat
isfaction and the pride of making your
own. They have received; you win
give, and your part is by far the best.
''Once more, my son, courage and
good luck. And let me send you a
kiss, who have no son, and you who
have no father.
