A Proclamation.

Where's. by custom the goth day
of May has become Memorial Day
in the observance Of which we strow
flowers upon the graves of the ma
tons dead. and especially remember
the ac's Of valor Of our fallen heroes
with flowers and with tears; and,
Whereas. at this time our country
stands on the verge of great crisis,
and is calling our young men TO arms
for service in distant foreign lands,
il is fitting and proper that the spirit
of the day should he observed BY all
our citizens by n display Of the Ma
tional colors at their homes and places
Of business, and by the closing Of all
business houses from ten o'clock, a.
M. until twelve o'clock, noon, and by
attendance Of the exercises Mt the
cemetery. ..
Let us gladly give this tribute "a
the old soldier boys, and let US pray
Almighty God that the young mer
now being called TO the colors may be
spared the fiery ordeal through and
under which the nations Of Euror,
are struggling and staggering.
