Memorial day was a quiet one in
isarton. 3iost business places clos
ed at noon and at 1 o'clock the
parade formed at the school hnucp
going to Welcome O. Brown cemetery
anu returning, ine Dana Headed the
parade, followed by about a dozen
KnaKi-ciaa ooys and .returned sailors
Then followed a number of the mem.
bers of the local came M. W. A., in
uniform, nearly 150 school children,
each with a flag, and the remaining
nan aozen vivii war veterans of the
place, carried in automobiles by H. R.
isarron ana j. i-'.jsatchelder.
The parade broke up at Seaver's
hall on the return. The urogram in
side consisted of music by the band,
prayer oy ij. u. Uolliston. the intro
duction of Rev. M. A. Turner by Dr.
J. A. Pearson, master of eeremonips
for the day, and remarks by Mr. Col
lision, who explained that Geo. w.
Quimby, whose picture was in sight,
enlisted from Barton in 1861, when
he was principal of the school, was
maae captain ana lost his life m the
war. Mr. Colliston also made a plea
for the certain continuance of the
Decoration idea of placing a flag at
every soldiers grave, no matter of
what war, on each May 30.
Mr. Turner reviewed the several cri
ses in American history which have
meant hardship and struggle but re
sulted each time in victory and in the
building of a stronger manhood and
womanhood each time, and therefore
a stronger nation, drawing the lesson
that the overcoming of difficulties
makes a person and a nation strong
er. He brought the subject down to
the present war and stated that one
of the helpful things thus far
hrmifrht ahont hv th xenr has hppn
broader thinking, a broader sympathy
and a broader outlook. One of the
dangers of the times is the sin, vice,
graft, and unrest of the reconstruc
tion oeriod now at hand, a danerer
harder to face and to overcome, per
haps than the danger of war and
carnage.

more for Girls on Willoughby lake

ed in while other work is being car
ried on with equal progress.

is planned, electric heat being one of
of the possibilities.

to Westmore and every move to have
things ready for the occupancy of the

Added information coming from
those at the head of the syndicate
operating the camp states that it is
the expectation to make this the larg
est girls' camp in America, and not
alone the . largest, but the best, and
so as the project develops the coming
of the camp appeals stronger and
as something decidedly worth while
to this part of the county.

had a trusted position with the vil

circles.
