Several Observed Flag Day By Putting Flags in Yard.

The Republican stated Friday that so far as our reporters had observed Mayor Meyers’ residence was the only one where a flag floated on flag day. We have been advised since that several people observed the day and put flags out. Mrs. Dayton, who lives just west of Mayor Meyers, was one of these. Howard Green, a 12-year-old boy, son of Rev. J. P. Green, writes as follows to The Republican: “I saw. in yesterday’s Republican that Mayor Meyers was the only one The Republican knew to be celebrating the day by putting a flag out. It the editor had gone far enough south on Weston street he would have seen Old Glory flying in front of papa’s house. Papa thinks a great deal of the flag and our country and lets Old Glory fly on every occasion.”
