Memorial Day services were hold
in a most fitting and impressive man

the Legion post of thi/ city. The pro

and tverv one who attended was well
pleased. The weather was chilly and
threatening, which undoubtedly kept
a larger crowd from attending, but in
spite of this the street was lined dur
the fia-r drill, and the opera liouse
could not hold those who. wished to
attend the program.
TTw parade started promptly at 10
o'clock from the court house, with the
colors of the legion and the G.A.R.
leading. They were followed by.^Jie
