MEMORIAL DAY
QUIETLY OBSERVED

Memorial day was properly OBJ
served yesterday. All business hoas
closed their doors, and gave the day
in memory of the departed soliiers
of the civil war. The g. A. R. and
w. R. c. met at $3.50 and went in
automobiles to the cemetery, where
the soldiers graves were decorated.
The usual ceremony was had by the
Ladies of the Relief Corps, and for
time the cemetery was crowded
with citizens, decorating the grave S
of their departed relatives and fri
ends. 1t was surprising, with SEEM
ingly so few flowers owing to the
late spring, to see the entire ceme-
terry so beautifully decorated.
The afternoon services were held
at the Methodist Church where a
very fitting address was delivered
by Rev. Knight of New Plymouth.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was
given by Pansy Johnson, and Bar
bara Fritchie, by Miss Marian Fair
man. Two selections were rendered
by male quartet composed of Cal
win Keller, Earl Keller, Ettley Lough,
rey, and Prof. Nelson which were
exceptionally good
For once in the history of Pay
ette, Memorial Day was Observed
without ball game or some other
uniting amusement.
