It was gratifying to have po
many friends meet tit Fairview ),
1 >ecor.iti. n Pay. The spot was
never lovelier or the day more ,
favorable to peaceful and (juiet,)
no blighting wind or parching
sun to with- r the beautiful deco-
rations. S' res of p'oplo with
baskets of fragrant blooms and
arms till of flowers and forms,
wandered among the lonely
mounds, leaving here and there
is tender memorials to the dead,
banks of flowers. There was in
groat profu ion beautiful roses,
the LaFraneo and Malmais in,
•he .buMpieminot and Maresehal
V il, snowy lillies, .Jessamines
and Sweet Peas, the delicate
bloom of the Syringa nestling
besides the sweet old homo flower
the honey-suckle, and many a
modest wild flower raised its head
unid the springing grass, like a
-peck of heaven's own blue upon
in emerald sea. Standing be-
side some new made graves, we
whispered "these were not here
last year when we brought our
flowers ''
Absent friends were not for-
gotton and their dead were re-
membered, for nearly every
grave had its token of remem-
brance; even tho monnd that
no one claimed, and over whope
mouldering dust no tear is even
shed, was not without a touch of
green on Decoration Day. All
there sweet memori als scattered
>ver the hi!l-;:ide and the valley
mingling their fragrance and
their beauty, with the green grass
ind the shad wing trees made
our own "(iod's Acre" indeed a
lovely spot. Later in the after-
noon, when tho reverent song,
the spoken word of <• nnfort and
>f hope, the earnest and sym-
pathetic prayer, had touched our
hearts and made them more ten-
ler and loving toward the living
is well as tho dead, we came
lwny, leaving tho sleeping dust

nine freight cais were ditched

were delayed several hours.

Tho Taylor boys have post-
poned putting on their Minstrel
in Biihtrap until after the pro
traetod inoeiing closes. This was
•i very wise act on their part, as
they would not have had the
crowded house they no doubt de-
servo. A few of the young men
fro.n Taylor were down Sunday,
and on hearing a protracte 1 meet-
ing was beiti); held, postponed
the date. They should have been
notified before hand, as <j lite a
little expense could have been
s ivad. When they return to fid
tht ir engagement, we should give
them a packed house.

hunting with little IM. liabens-

he was a'*ci lently shot iti the hip

serious, it is very painful. We
hope to see Charlie out again re.-tl

The ladies of tho Reading
Circle desire to imforni the publi •
that the Art < 'ollection will be on
exhibition at the Public Library I
room, Monday, April I'Mh. All I
are invited to call there and see
these beautiful creations of
American artists. Such an op-
portunity for enjoying the beauti-
ful in art rarely occurs, so do not
neglect this rare treat which has
doeri provided for you, but come
and come and combine pleasure
with profit.
Tho fact that they are the po-
setion of American artists, ap
peals to our national pride, and
furnishes a stranger incentive to
honor the exhibit by < >ur presence
and appreciation.
As the prime object of the ex-
hibit is the diffusion of infor-
mation about artists and their
works, and a cultivation of a
taste for tho isthoties, and not
pecuniary gain, only a very
small Hunu.-.-ion fee will be
[charged for tin* put pose of de-
fraying the expense of transpor-
tation, etc.

may l> < especially benefitted by
