1 ANNUAL CVSTOM OF STHF.WING SOLDI 10 U' GltA VF.S WITH Old Veterans ami Their Sons Form in Line anil March to tho Come teiies, Where Appropriate Services Were Obwerveil. Saturday was observed as Memorial Day, rud although the weather was cold and raw for the time of year, it did not deter the members of Paxton post, G. A and the old soldiers from turning out and making their annual march to the cemeteries ubou-t town, for the purpose of decorating the graves of their dead com rados. Tho exereii-es of the day were in charge of John R. Paxtou camp Sous of Veterans.

The column formed iu front of the Pax ton post's room on Central avenue and moved at about o'clock. The march was out Pike street to Oak Spring cemetery. The column was composed as follows: James S. Speer, marshal; military baud, 10 pieces; members of Puxton post and old soldiers Sous of Veteruns colored arum corps. There were about oia sounersin line.

At the cemetery the graves of all soldiers were strewn with (lowers by school chil dren, after which the program published in these columns was carried out. The first speaker introduced was Rev. M. A. Parkinson, who said that it is fitting in a public way to do honor to our fallen heroes, and paid a tribute to the woman who suggested to Gen.

John A. Logan that there be a day appointed on which the graves of the soldiers should be decorated with flowers, a custom which has been observed since 38tW. He said that he was glad that memorial sermons were preached from the pulpits, and happy that the graves of the soldiers ivere decorated by little girls. Long live the custom which now so generally prevails. It is fitting that the Sous of Veterans should have charge of the exercises of this day, and concluded by proposing three cheers for J.

W. Grubb, who more than any oth er person was the means of bringing the cannon and placing it in the cemetery, and three cheers were also given for the contributors who helped pay for the passage of the cannon to this place. After music by the band an address was given by C. B. Phillips, a member of the Sons of Veterans.

Rev. S. W. McCurdy followed in an ad dress especially to the young. Though tho day was somewhat unpleasant, it was not to bo so considered when compared to the camp life of those iu whose memory we were assembled.

By request of a veterun Mr. McCurdy read Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Soon, saidjMr. McCurdy, some one wiil attend the burial of the last soldier of the great conflict. More than 40,000 have answered to the last roll cull since we met to decorate the graves of our fathers one year ago.

But the sons and daughters of the veterans are not diminishing. These will continue to observe the custom and to perpetuate the memory of their fallen fathers The public obseivance of this custom siiould be educative. The day should not be spent in frivolity or in revelry, but should be ipent iu memory of our fathers who died to perpetuate our nation. The martial spirit does still exist. It is the nation's perpetuity.

The people of Plymouth early had their churches and schools, but this w.s not all, their children gathered around Miles Staudish, who was a military hero, and heard of him, of self-sacrifices which must be made to perpetuate a nation. It requires self-sacrifice to build a great nation no good thing is won without cost. The perpetuity of our nation rests on this military spirit. It was this spirit which was in the boys of the sixties, and during the conflict the eagle soared over and looked down after the smoke had cleared away and the earth had drunk their blood and saw that this nation would still live. And, soldiers, soon you will go to sleep.

and rhen you do, remember that these children will remember the deeds that you did. They will keep your graves decorat ed; they will perpetuate the inspiration you gave them. After the services the column re-formed and marched to Speer Spring cemetery and after decorating the graves of the soldiers buried there, counter-marched to Pike street and Central avenue and was dis missed. DEATH ON THK TRACK. Henry Miller, Aged 81, Struck ami Instantly Killed by an JOngine at Ai den.

On Saturday morning Henry Miller of Washington, but who foi some time had been an inmate of the county home, was struck by an east-bound freight engine at Arden and instantly killed. He was aged 81 years. The old gentleman had obtained permission to go to Washington, and had only started on his journey when death overtook him. The engineer said Miller had plenty of time to get off the track after he sounded the whistle, but he either did not hear or else became bewildered, for he stopped on the track and stood until the engine struck him The train was stopped and the dead man carried into the station. Coroner Fitzpatriek was notified and ar rived on the 4.20 train and investigated and found that death came about in the man ner above given.

The remains were in terred on Sabbath ia the burying ground at Cross Roads church. Dr. George T. JVCord of Pittsburg, a brother of Mrs. Gecrge Hiles of Central avenue and of Mr3.
