Mcrhorial Day at McPhcrson.
The threatening weather during

from attending memorial services
at the Fort McPhcroou national
cemetery, yet the crowd theie ex
ceeded five hundred. Of this num
ber abcut eixty wete from this city.
During the foreuoou the young
sons of veterans placed a flag on
each of the 800 graves and.later the
children of the neighborhood Sunday-school
placed a bequct of wild
roses on each grave.
At 11:30 the crowd surrounded
the pavilion and listened to the
reading ol the G. A. K. orders and
Lincolu'd address at Gettysburg by
Adjutant O'Kuurke, and addresses
by Kev. Wimberly, W. T. Wilcox
and II. S. Ride ley. These addrcscss

course, appropriate to the occasion.
The program was interspersed
with vocalmusic by Miss Ilattic
Sch m.il,r ied and the male octette
of this city. The program proved
interesting and well rendered..
Through the efforts ot Major Dow
the memorial day services at this
cemetery have grown very popular
and it is not rare to meet people
who have driven twenty-live or
thirty miles to attend the services.
The Major keeps the cemetery in
perfect condition and it is a pleas
ant and beautiful place.
Those taking part in the pro
gram were the guests of Major and
Mrs. Dow, the latter serving a
dinner thai was faultlessly pre
preparcil and served. This writer
has never met more hospitable peo
ple than this worthy couple.
