Yesterday morning dawned bright and fine and was just cool enough to be pleasant. Early In the people from the surrounding country commenced coming In the oily and by the time the column to march to the cemetery was reailf to form thntown wasfllledj with visitors. Promptly at 10 o'clock the; col HOI was formed and the procession 1 started for the cemetery. The Ccdet band preceded the procession discoursing excellent music and the drum corps farther buck In proceeaion pluyod familiar muaic to tbo aid veterans. Ttere were more old soldiers in the procession than were ever seen before in line on Decoration 'l)ay in this city.

They came from all directions and it seeme.l tbnt almost every 'member of Joe Hooker poet was In line. 'Following the veterans wwo the Sons of Valerius and next were tie citizens on foot and in carriages. Fallowing the procession were eight street cars wii'ch were loaded down with men, women and chlldoen, all seeking to honor the noble dead. The procession reaohed the grounds before noon, where tho touching and Appropriate ceremonies, conducted Vy the post were 'carried out. Alter they kad been concluded, the procession was again formed and marched to the ball, where they disbanded.

The Woman'sliRellef corps had prepared and had waiting a regular old-fashioned dinner, prepared especially for the-beneiit of the veterans and their families. Time was soon called and the veterans proceeded to demolish the dinner with greater, gusto than they ever did to de" uiolish un enemy. The meal was con eluded in a half or three-quarters of an huur, the room was cleared and for an hour the time was passed very pleasantly in listening to and singing old army aongs and recounting anecdotes of the war. 'It rually sounded like old times when the boys struck up un "John Brown's Body." Everybody Bang with a After this hour of song the 'Veterans were again formed in line aad anarched to the beautiful Presbyterian church, where were to listen ing exerciser of the day. After listening 10 name splaadld singing by a choir com.

poeed.of Messrs. Wall, McCandless, Hetlinger and -Wooddell, K. A. Campbell, pest commander, assisted by various com rades, conducted a service from the ritual which was especially arranged for Decor ation Way. At Its close Mr.

Campbell introduced H. WiOleason, who delivered the address of the day. It was a masterly effort and highly spoken of by those present. is a forcible tetter, and having tented with the boys was Able to talk .00 matters which touched and deeply interested Toe reporter aowo same of the strong polLtt hit addrewij which. are given below: "Today when tbe sun cast its But rays upon the shores of our re public, it awakened the people, particu larly through the nortbj to a preparation for performance of service, to them was never seen in any other notion in all Uta world'n history.

As it rose higher, it saw the people, in holiday attire, gathering from farm, baiulet and village, to some ap pointed place of meeting, bearing with them garlands of They met in church, Hall and grove, an outpouring, seemingly universal. Toe national emblem was lavishly displayed, tlio sweet voices of children and tbe trained voices of the choir are beard ringing of the valor of the soldiers, rest aod a people's love. The voice of prayer la heard and the blessings of tbe God of nations is invoked. Binds of music play tbe national, anthem; orators discourse eloquently of heroic sacrifice, of unselfish patriotism, of a nation's gratitude. There depth of feeling and an earnestness displayed which only exists when tbe hearts of the people are stirred to their very depths, "These ceremonies concluded, tie people go to their several cemeteries.

gpicuous among them is to be seen a band of men, all passed middle life, their hair silvered, and time has marked deep furrows on. each brow, their step lacks the energy of young manhood, and the eve the fire of youth. They ate band of old men. who sbow by every movement that the end of life's pathway is nearly reached. Arriving at tbe cemetery a strange ceremony is performed.

Here the are and these old men of whom i have, spoken, or perchance children, frooj grave to grave wherever one of little flags is placed, aad decorate each wllb a garland of flowers; not one Is overlooked, not one wore favored thin (brother, there is no dutlnotiou of rank or wealth; again they move to some spot end mouuweot tribute unknown ol to Uieir awakens tbe people of every state performance of same tame ceremonies are on- lerved, and as It sinks Into tbe bosom of great Pacific ita last ray will kits to garlands of Mowers placed patriotic hands on similar-(fraves. The peoole will all return to their homes only to again next year upon this day, and the next and eo-oa as long as tbis remain nation, to assemble again and perform these same ceremonies. "Tlte stranger from some foreign land or the youth of our Iftad wiluemlng tbis scene, will ask: 'What is the meaning of all these ceremonies? Whose graves are these? Why are there no distinction made between the great and He will be tolil tbat these are the nation's dead.

will reply, '1 know tbat it has been tho custom of all nations to honor tbeir jreat heroes and Illustrious dead, but it only the great and Illustrious Ihnt were thus was only the great leaders of armies who were remembered, and to whom monuments were erected, the soldiers were forgotten. witb his conquering leglont, carried and ettftb- Ished the power of Home even in the distant Island of Great name is Immortal. The Itomans paid nlmoot livine honors to his memory. Tho -names of all the soldiers of his legions died with them." Tbe speaker then gave a brief history of the nation. Its ad vantages were not surpassed.

'It increased rapidly in population, until a nation of 3,000,090 it became a nation of more than of people, Tom thirteen original colonies it increased until thirty-four and commonwealths claimed tbe sisterhood of states. "One thing alone marred tbo prosperity, retarded the progress and threatened the perpetuity of Ue country. Xhat was human slavery. It apread itself over tbe south and became a part of Its and social institutions. Tbe south fearing its overthrow 'jy 'the superior advancement of free states, demanded that freedom and elavetybe kept equally balanced by the power of the national legislature." Here tbo speaker of tbeaeceding of the states and the of the country seemed to when its Hag went down beforo the Confederate armies at Fort Bumpier.

Then -it was that tbe Old World despots predicted that the end of tbe great republic was near. Old the North turnely submit? The full of our dag at Sumpter was the signal for an uprising suob as was never seen. The call for volunteers was responded to until bad enlisted. It was no common army, its ranks were filled with intelligent freemen, volunteers who 1 ought I or principle, and to perpetuate the institutions tbat had proven so great a blessing to them. 'After four years of patient endurance and heroic final victory was achieved and the republic took its proud place once more among the nations of the earth.

But at what a coat of treasure aud blood. Of the freemen that composed the grand armies of the died upon the battle field or from wounds and 1250,000 more returned to tbeir homes maimed, or shattered by disease to such un extent as rendered tliem almost helpless for life. Tbe nation became one £reat of mourning." Here the speaker inked If tbe resulta were commensurate with the sacrifice? He showed that witb theiloae of the war our flag became the emblem of freedoim and that this was a glorious result; but that the overthrow of slavery did not stop with the country. The great struggle had been watched all over the world and as the shackles fell irom 4,000,000 of our slaves, in a short time Itussia freed her serfs, and in a few more years Brazil struck the shackles from 10,000,001) Doudmeu. It also demonstrated that a republic could be established and maintained even through au internal struggle.

The claim of the Old World despots had been proven false, llexico followed our example and achieved a success. France, compelled to go to war, for which it was unprepared, simply to gratify the spite or ambition of the emperor, and roused itself to a mighty effort to regain its national honor, which it accomplished, aud established lUelf a republic. Since the beginning of the war tbe population of the nation has more than doubled. When the war commenced it was without money or credit, and now it stands higher than any other nation. The speaker then referred to our rail- wealth and prosperity, and how the nation protected the weak against the aggressions of tbe strong, aud closed with the following: "Decoration Day upon those to whom tbe war will be oniy a history.

Comrades, it matters little to these dead whether their graves are decorated or not. It will, In tbe great future, matter little to us If ours be forgotten.
