One of the most beautiful and i'm.
pressive demonstrations took place
here Friday afternoon when the town

gof the best orators in the state. the
y afternoon program was held on Nam
I street and began shortly after three
{, O'Clock The day was opened by the
singing of "Amlerica" by the school
pupils, the crowd also being asked to
assist. Prayer was then given by Ell
der Chas. Butterworth, after which a
male quartet from DenisOn rendered
selection. At the close of this num-
her the speaker, Rev. Doriean, was
introduced by w. E. Fishel. Next
came the unfurling of the service nag
by little Naomi ButterWorth. after the
names of the boys represented thereon
had been read by w. e. Fishel. Forty
nine stars appear on the flag at pres
ent and more will be added from time
to time. 1t has been strung on line
from the post office on the east side
of the street to the building on the
!. opposite side. The flag was made. and

much credit is due her for the beautl,
full handiwork The flag will be left
hanging here until the close OF the
