 May Have Missed Graves.
 E. S. Williams commander of Newton Manross post, fearing that the graves of some old soldiers in the local cemeteries have been neglect ed by the veterans in decorating on Memorial day, is seeking information concerning the completeness of the roll of honor issued recently by the post. The records have been found to be incomplete and the commander would appreciate any information that might be given.
 A detail from the post went to West cemetery this morning to decorate the grave of Perry c. Edgerton, who died in Bridgeport a few months ago and whose body was brought here for in- torment. Until yesterday the post had not been advised that MT. Edger- ton was war veteran and conse- quently his grave was not looked after on Memorial day.
