Two reasons why our Bible scnooi

the effects of the Easter program

The first cemetery visited was Cal
vary, the buying place of the Catholic
residents. This yard has been great
ly improved and beautified thru the
efforts of FIR. Renaud. the parish priest

Veterans and women of the Relief
Corps thru the main avenue. along
which were stationed flags, with lines
of small girls in white with flowing
wells standing on either side. When
the Civil War soldiers halted eighteen

living cross before them, while an
other group of children in white sang
q hymn FIR. Renaud offered pa
triotic address and mentioned to the
veterans that he should not again in
vite them to Calvary Cemetery until
the renovations which have been so
we'll begun have been completed.
Prayers were read by this clergyman,
the children sang Nearer My God To
Thee" and before the soldiers filed out
of the yard, the living cross disband-
ed, the children depositing wreaths
which they had carried during the
ceremony on the standards supporting
the American Flags.
After leaving Calvary, the process
sion was resumed to the North Gene
terry where prayer and remarks were
offered by Rev. George Merriam Of the
Bethany Baptist Church, and then
with the Citizens Band as escorts, the
line of march proceeded to the South
side cemetery where the ritual of the
G. A. r. and American Legion was
carried out and the Star Spangled
Banner was played.
These patriotic ceremonies were
planned and carried out under the di-
rection OF Russell Post and Simon
Peters Post.

the churches, telling of the Christian
Band on High street, the Baptist on

The latter organization had string

ond floor of the town house. Lucius

on the southside opposite the Baptist
church. Rev. G. w. Hathaway was
its pastor. He had the usual pas

The new churches on the Island were
built in 1859 as he recalls it. Uncle"
Fuller Eddy rang the ourfew and
other hour bells for years. His home
was on Pleasant st. ADJUSTMENTS

Clinton Veteran Replies TO Skowhegan
Veteran .N

The following communication has
lately been received from r. 8. Clark
of Clinton who was 81 years old the
18th day of last February in which he
replies to the recent communication
of s. F. Emerson of Skowhegan pub
lished in the Reporter entitled, "Third
Maine Infantry's March Through Bal
timore." Mr.. Clark Is a member of
William Morgan Post. 1923, G. A. r.
In Athens. He says:
In regard to the Third Maine Regi-
ment marching | do not know any
thing about II but / do know that the
Second Maine marched through Bal
timore the last of May right after the
14th, for l was a corporal in Co. E.
Second Maine Regiment and know all
about 1t. When the Third Maine
came to Washington they camped in
our tents that night for the ground
was wet and we had been In Washing
ton some few days. We camped on
Meader Hill and the First Maine was
back OF us and the Third Maine back
OF them, so you see that Mr.. Emerson
YVES mistaken about it. For myself
40 not care much but my regiment
did too much work out there to be
given credit to others. Charles C.
Jameson was our colonel. The
Third Maine was In the Baltimore
fight with us. They were ON one side
and were brave regiment. l should
like to have this mistake rectified II
you please, records will show that
am right.
