MmM EMORIAL day, as 1t is
now observed in most of
M the states of the Union,
| is a day of thankfulness,
NNVWyN patriotic thankfulness for
SSNxS the preservation of the
49, Union. A majority of
people who will take part in the strew-
ing of flowers on soldiers graves are
not veterans who fought in the Civil
war. To those who are old enough to
remember the war, its memories have
softened and grown calm, it's material
evidences have about all faded from
sight. To those who are not old enough
to remember the war, it's events are
only matters of history. But to the
old soldier Memorial day is a day of
reflection and meditation. He will be
thinking of events of those stirring
times as living realities. Some thir-
tieth of May in the Civil war, in all
probability, was to him an eventful
day. Possibly he may remember some
event that took place on each thirtieth
Of May in the war. Go back with him
in his reflection as he fancies himself
back in those old days, and begin with
the first thirtieth of May in the Civil
war. 1t was 54 years ago.
The thirtieth of May in 1861 was a
sort of calm before the storm. No great
battle had as yet been fought. lust
AZ days had passed since the firing
upon the Stars and Stripes at Fort
Sumter. The battle of Bull Run did
not take place until So days later. Peo-

nounced that he will not sentence the

FARMERS TEAR UP POLES
firing of Poor Telephone Service,
Subscribers Act Decisively.

LAPEER. Mich, April 16.-Tiring
of the continuance of what they
claimed was a nuisance, farmers be-
tween here and Hunters Greek got
together and cut down all the poles
Of the Schlegel Electric Light Co.,
along the three miles of highway
throwing them into the road.
Their summary action, II IS likely,
will give them the relief that they
have been seeking in vain, for the
manager Of the company says that
when the poles are regretted. II Will
be on the other side OF the road.
The poles, which carry the high
tension wires of the electric company
were so close to the poles Of the farm
ers telephone company that they
caused a buzzing which made con-
versation over the phone lines all but
impossi BILE. The farmers have petit
toned many times for the removal Of
the electric cOmpany's poles TO the
other side Of the road and although
a promise was made that they would
be moved, no action toward doing so
was taken.
SO finally the farmers took matters
into their own hands.
