Council No. 01.?, Jr. t). I!. A, M. at
Mayes Chapel.
DR. WADE and REV. GARLAND ORATORS
'ffio nnuly insta'lcd council of
Jr.,U. U. A. M.of War ford sburg,
No. 913, conducted the memorial
services at Mayes chapel, assisted
by the Mayes chapel Suudity
school, iu honor of the Union
(load, and brothers buritd thore.
The oeautiful weather was favor
able to a large turnout, aud it is
probable that (500 or more persons
visited the place during the day.
Two addresses were made, one
by Rev. Dr. Wade, and one by
Rev. Thomas Garland.
The procession was very large,
at 1 o'clock all the organizations,
which had places m the parade,
met at Mayes chapel schoul house.
The march to the cemetery was
in the following order: Bell Grove
Band, Warfordsburg Council Jr.
O. U. A. M; Mayes Chapel Sun
day School consisting of proba
bly .100 members, all carrying
llowers. At the entrauce of the
cemetery the various organiza
tions formed a hollow column, and
through the double lines, the
members of Mayes Chapel Sun
day School passed, then followed
the Council and the Band. Ex
ercises were held in the cemetery
prayer being offered by Rev. T.
P. Garland, after which a circle
was formed around the grave of
the council's departed brother.
"Nearer My God to Thee" was
sung and also played by the Band.
Flowers were strewn over the
graves of the departed brother
and fallen heroes.
From the cemetery the differ
ent organizations inarched into
the church, where services were
held in the following order:
Music by the Belle Grove baud
Rev. Thomas Garland was then
introduced, who spoke along the
hue of what we owe our country,
our Hag, and cur God.
Music by the band.
Recitation by R:vey Bishop.
Recitation by Lily Lanehart.
Singing Red White and Blue.
Recitation bv Goldie Hiles.
Recitation by Vida Golden.
Music by the band.
Dr. Wade was theu introduced
was held the audience spell bound
as he spoke of how impossible it
s for our nation to stand if it is
divided, and of the friendly rela
tions that have grown between
the north and south since the
War. The closing niece was then
sung by the Council, and the aud
ience dismissed which retired to
the grove for amusements, where
all had "a dandy time."
This newly instituted Council
surely deserves praise for its
comfortable and business like ar
rangements for the accommoda
tion of the puohe. The Mayes
Chapel Sunday school n:ade a
nice display, and the Belle Grove
Band was all that was expected.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stoner

the time has not been able to walk
about the house. Her many
friends hope that she may be
speedily restored to perfect
health.
