Show REGISRATION DAY WAS rr; noise in CEDAR. Registration Hay was enthusiastic- I ally and fittingly observed in Cedar City. A patriotic and hopeful spirit generally prevailed, and so far as known, every eligible man in the community com-munity entered his name upon the roll of honor. In all 20i patriots received re-ceived badges, including two Indians. A packed house witnessed and applauded ap-plauded the morning exercises in the tabernacle. Stirring talks were made by Rev. C. S. Rice and Principal Homer. Ho-mer. Musical numbers were creditably credit-ably rendered by the choir and choruses, chor-uses, and solos by Miss Pearl Urie and Prof. Roylance were enthusiastically enthusiastic-ally received. "America," sung by the entire congregation, con-gregation, thrilled the heart of every person present The audience passed out of the building to the strains of The Star-Spangled Han.ier. The decorations expressed the feelings feel-ings of the people: Everywhere Old Glory waved, and the principal business bus-iness houses, the tabernacle and ward hall, as well as many residences were appropriately decorated with the national na-tional colors. At the evenng reception a pleasing program was rendered, not the least imposing part- of which was the pinning pin-ning ort of the badges furnished by the government for each registrar, by a bevy of young ladies chosen for the purpose. Gratifying, indeed, was the fact that no where was there any shrinking of disposition to evade the conscription rules, all rallying to their country's call as did the patriots of 1775. |
