as many flowers as possible for
graves of their departed ones in
addition to the soldier honors. The
town was decorated with flags and
a general holiday appearance was
noted everywhere. Many visitors
were here on the holiday and also
several of our residents went else
where to spend the day.

Some of our older residents re-
call the great Memorial Day of
1892 when various organizations
of the patriotic devotion marched
into Middletown in honoring the
day of memories for the soldier
dead. Coming down Broad Street
we recall the sons of veterans,
the Grand Army men, and a fife
and drum corps forming great
parade that held service in the
Cochran Square. 1t was truly a
sweet occasion, one that fingered
in the memory of many of the
citizens who gazed upon it. Flow
ers were sent in by an army of
gatherers who had spent days in
getting the lovely tributes togeth-
er. Memorial Day of 1892 was the
chief day of honor and apprecia-
tion in that locality for long
time.

Townsend

A local man never forgets his
six friends on Memorial Day.
They are resting in the Townsend
cemetery and every Memorial Day
he places a lovely rose on the
grave of each one. He has been
paying this tribute to his loyal
friends for several years. He says
it's a deserved tribute to men who
always were his true friends.
A mean distance to the moon is

operation several weeks, has re-
turned to her home and seems
to be recovering nicely. Her many
friends are glad to see her back
home again.
A local man says he sold a
rooster and bought a calf, then
sold the calf and bought horse,
then sold the horse and bought a
tractor. Now then on humble
start he has mahcinery and money
enough to carry on a real big
farm, and he says that it is sim
ply on knowing how to deal with
people. Some will surely take a
leaf from his book of success, we
think.
George K. Stoneman of Phila-
delphia was a visitor here during
Memorial Day.
The condition of MIR. Leonard
Dickinson is said to remain about

purchase new dynamo and exeter
of sufficient capacity to carry our
heaviest load and if necessary get
a new charcoal-iron tubular boiler.
