PRESTON cITVs OBSERVANCE Memorial Day Exercises We'll Attend
 ed and Much Enjoyed.

A large and appreciatiye assembla ge of Preston City citizens united with the children on historic grounds around the monument of General Samuel Mott to render a very pleasing Memorial Day programme. The thin line of three remaining resident veterans are G. V. Shedd, D. A. Johnson and Rhodes K. Lewis. A large procession was led by these veterans to the cem- etery where the graves of their twen- ty-five departed comrades were deco rated by the children from the three participating schools. They then re- turned to the library where the monu- n1ent of General Samuel Mott occu- pies a conspicuous place and of which Charles Brown and Hon. Lucius Brown are the donors. A number of people had congregated at the library and were awaiting the procession that re- turned from the cemetery. c. Parker and c. C. Zabriskie furnished the music. G. V. Shedd then gave direc- tions to decorate which was done by four boys and eight girls after which a salute to the flag was given in which all present took part. This was followed by singing The Star Spang1- ed Banner and prayer led by Fev. F. W. Tholen.
