OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY HERE
PARADE FROM CITY HALL. TO
OAKLAND CEMETERY, FOL-
LOWED BY PROGRAM

Memorial Day was very fttingly OBJ
served in Little Falls Monday morning
with parade and a program at the
Oakland cemetery. The weather was
splendid and a large number Of people
turned out.
The city band, members Of the G.. A.
R. and w. R. c. and speakers formed
the parade, which started at the city
hall and wended it's way to the GENE.
terry. The number of Civil war veter-
ans in this city has greatly dwindled
lately and only about fifteen were in
the ranks.
A quartet composed of Mrs. Chas.
Jensen, Miss Elaine Ruth, Jos. Mitchell
and Ernest Carlson opened the program
with "The Star Spangled Banner" ac-
companied by the band. The G. A. R.
ritual followed and Rev. Walter Board
man then gave the invocation, after
which the quartet sang "Long Live
America.' J. G. Burial, commander
of the local G. A. R. post then deliver
ed Lincoln g Gettysburg address.
Rev. Philip Gregory of the Congre.
gational church delivered the Memorial
address. He stated that the object of
this observance was not to honor wal
but to pay tribute to those who had
fought for such just cause. He de-
nounced war and said that the time
will come when all international mat
ters will be settled through court of
arbitration, without any bloodshed.
Two-thirds of the money which goes
into the United States treasury is
spent for war equipment, ETC., he said.
AS an example of how this money
could be spent to better advantage he
used the battleship North Dakota for
comparison. It is estimated that it
cost $28, 100000 to construct and main
tain this battleship for twenty years.
If this money were to be expended in
the erection of agricultural colleges in
the state of North Dakota, it would
put one in each county and endow it
with a goodly sum. However, the
speaker agreed that war sometimes is
necessary and cited as an instance the
Civil war, which was necessary in or
der to free the slaves.
The program ended with the song
'FTenting on the Old Camp Ground .
by the quartet, benediction BY Rev.
Boardman and the song "America -

HUMBER CORNER
PURCHASED BY
THOs. b. HOOKS
VALUABLE REALTY IN AMERICUS
CHANGES HANDS.

The sale yesterday of the Church
street residence of Mr. William M.
Humber, together with the valuable
and beautiful vacant corner lot adjoin-
ing, to Mr.. Thomas B. Hooks, was
OF interest in local realty circles.
Mr.. Hooks gave in exchange for the
Humber property small but desira-
ble farm on the Oglethorpe road, while
there was, probably, other considera-
tion as we'll.
The Humber corner lot is one of the
few central vacant properties remain
ing in Americus, and may be utilized
shortly as the site of a handsome
building, the erection of which is be-
iEg contemplated.
Mr.. Humber has leased the home he
now occupies, and will reside there
until next September unless Mr.. Hooks
should decide to effect a sale of it.

COTTON BOLLs
QUITE UNUSUAL
BUT WORTHLESS

While Americus gardens are fra
grant with fall roses and chrysanthe-
NUNS, many of the cotton fields here
are vast bouquet in their wealth OF
cotton blooms, which really are two or
three months out of season. The mild,
springlike weather of the past two or
three weeks has resulted in new
growth and new blooms on many cot
ten plants. The new blooms will, of
course. be killed in a few days, but
the sight of the beginning of what
would be second crop of cotton
should warm weather continue is both
novel and interesting.
