As the weather conditions must be just right to assurg an ascent and a great deal of disappointment would naturally result did it not “go,’’the committee felt that'the chances against its making any ascent at all were too treat. Besides, the expense is too eavy for a town of this sizet Other attractions will be secureq that will probably please better than an airship and cost less. , A reader asks us to “call attention to the fact that Memorial Day Is a day for solemn thought and feelings of reverence, an anniversary for thousands of funerals. I hear many people complaining bitterly upon seeing dances and bhurch festivities carried on on that day, which seems to license the bummy element to drink and run buggy races on the highway, as 1 saw Decoration Day just passed. While the law has classed it as a holiday, yet ’tie not a day for hilarity, not like New, Year’s or the 4th of July., It is the most solemn day in all the year, and it is a great shame that some people wish to turn it into a festive one.”
