Memorial Day Observance
Notwithstanding UntOWard Weather
Conditions the Day was Approp.
ridtely Kept.

The celebration OF decoration
day, Thursday of last week was
somewhat interfered with by
weather conditions, as contin-
uous heavy rain fell during the
previous night, making roads
heavy, and the early morning
continued wet and cloduy. The
sun came out in the afternoon
and there was temporary clear.
ing Of the sky, so that some OF
the outdoor exercises were TAX
en- up. The uniep soldiers mon
ument on Main sheet was dec.
GRATED and line OF march was
formed at the court house, to 60
to the cemetery. The process.
sion was led by the band, follow.
ed by the veterans Of the civil
war and the Relief Corps, the
Boy Scouts and the children of
the public schools, and citizens
in autos. The long column OF
school children, each child with
q flag, made On interesting fea-
ture of the parade. At the GENE
terry the ladies of the W. r G.
observed ceremony of tribute
to the unknown dead of the un.
ion army, little girls depositing
flowers in the urn in connection
with ritualistic ceremony in
honor of those who fell and were
buried in unmarked graves OF
the south.
The early afternoon exercises
were held in the opera house,
and consisted of an invocation
by Rev. Chas A. Wood. a num-
Der Of fine vocal selections, and
an address by Hon. 0. L. Bron-
son. The address was a fine
presentation of Americanism,
not less convincing because the
spe aker had two sons, one of
them already in France, who
have gone out to uphold the flag
and battle for the principles of
Justice and liberty which the
fag stands for. The speaker
paid tribute of praise to the
soldiers that saved the union a
half century ago, and was glad
that the grandsons Of these men
were showing the same spirit
in maintaining the honor of their
country and battling for the lib.
critics of the down. .trOdden and
the helpless.
Mr. Bronson delivered the
memorial address in Milbank
eleven years ago, so this his
second address here was some.
thing Of a com pliment to him.
and the many expressions of
commentator on the address
by those who heard it, indicate
that the choice of the veterans
for a speaker for the day was a
very happy one.
