The program was begun promptly at the appointed time and the raising of the flag was a very' pretty ceremony, well carried out. After die (lag raising the remainder of the pro gram was carried out on the court] house lawn, where a speaker's stand had been erected. Judge Aaron Wall was the orator of the day and the speech Mr. Wall made on this occa «ion will linger long in the memories ■ of all who heard him. “Our Duty to Our Country and Our Flag” was his theme and. the intensely patriotic, forceful and convincing manner in which he handled the subject created an impression that lieips to keep our patriotism to the hignest point. The program extended well into the noon hour and after dinner the crowd went to Jenner's park where the after noon wa? spent in listening to the band concert, seeing the hall game and en joying the different amusements and sports. The dance at the park again broke all previous records and the pic ture show at the opera house showed to a good house until* midnight.
