Governor Small issued a proclama-
ton calling upon all communities OF
the state to observe Memorial Day
with appropriate ceremonies. The
proclamation: cit Is our great priv
ilege at an appointed time each year
to join in a national tribute of graft
tude and affection to our soldier and
sailor dead. The blue-clad heroes of
the Civil War, soldiers and sailors
of the war with Spain and men of the
great armies of the American Expe-
dictionary Force lie in honored graves
at home and abroad. They gave their
services and their lives for a united
country, for humanity, for civilization.
We mourn the valiant dead and de-
plore the great crisis n our national
life which required of them the last
fall measure of devotion; but we have
a great national pride in their brav-
cry and patriotism which have pre-
served to US intact the heritage of
free institutions handed down by our
fathers to be held as a sacred trust
for our children and their children.
Their gallant deeds on land and sea
have ever maintained unsulied the
honor of our great American nation
Their hands have borne aloft and
raised high in the heavens our starry
