MEMORIAL CEREMONIES

Are Attended by Large Crowd —Milroy Circle Furnishes Fine Feed. There was a large crowd out to the Decoration day Tuesday. The procession headed by the band formed at the public square and marched to Weston cemetery, where Rev. J. P. Green delivered' the address. On returning from the cemteery the Milroy Circle served a fine luncheon to the old soldiers at the G. A. R. Post rooms in the court house. . The ranks of the old veterans are thinning fast and it will be but a few years more until their place in the procession on occasions of this kind will be conspicuous by almost their entire absence. 1
