Memorial Day, first established by General Orders, then made permanent by our rules ivnd regulations, and sub sequently endirsed by National and State legislation, v'.'.l be ol served by our people so long as our rlag lluats over a united Nation, and it is our du ty, as the survivors of the armies and navies, whose deeds of valor and pat riotism shed such lustte upon the an nals of our country, to see that the cer emonies appropriate to the day and the occasion are properly directed. These ceremonies cannot revive an tagonisms of the p;ust; they should stir up in our heaits not only tender recol lections of the memories of our dead but also a more exalted pa triotism-ami devotion to country in the future. Each Post will, in compliance with the rules and regulations, in its own way arrange foi the proper observance of the day, but it is suggested that wherever practicable, joint services be had by Posts in the same neighborhood An invitation should be extended to all children in public, private and Sun day schools, and to the people general ly, to be present at and to participate in the ceremonies of the day. It is recommended, as in other years. tUit osllz arrange for public services jn places of worship on the Sabbath ' preceding Memorial Day. By command of Robert B. Beath Commander-in-Chief.

O. Chajirkrlin'. HERE AND TRKRB. Special Correspondence of Tnr: Chtepv What reason or sentiment prompfetj the namii.gof the town of Blue Hill, I can't say. Even if the fonndere and early setties of the place were troubled with the "blues" on account of the fu ture of their venture and hopes, surely that feeling is not very troublesome tv the people at present, for cverybody here appears to be gay, happy, pros perous and contented. Blue Hill is a great place in severalj particulars, but most noticeably in the "vim, vinegar, and vitriol" which appears to' actuate" all its business men in their undertak ings. There is but a short time elaps es between the planning of a business enterprise and the execution of the" plan. The town is located in the midst of as fine a section of farming country as has been been discovered on this planet, or j guess on anv other, luc pe-tle .iruund Blue Hill give their at tention more to the cultivation of the' soil and raising of small grain, and not so much to stock sis those in the south-' ern hail of the county, still I do not wish to up unucistoou as meaning that the stock interest i neglected, for it would be difficult to find' a farmer there but what has from six to twenty-five head of cattle and horses, but the gen eral surface of the country there being better adapted to cultivation larger' farms are being operied. The town is very rapidly building. I stood on the eminence halt a mile south-west o town where Mr. Swee.y re-ides, and counted eighty-seven substantial, vet unpainted buildings just completed" or in course of completion. Every car penter in the place is employed at from $2 to $2.."0 per day. The town need'; more hotel room very much. I stopped at the Commercial while in town.
