Except for a few flags Hying and the closed stores there was little Indication of a holiday spirit, for the weather was not favorable for drives or picnics. Even the one sided ball game and track meet failed to draw much of a crowd or stir up much enthusiasm among those present. Only by a visit to the cemetary did one rea'lze that It was really Memorial day, for there the graves were beautifully decorated and the respect for the dead that finds expression ex-pression in offerings of flowers was certainly well shown in the masses of flowers that heaped the graves. Another An-other Memorial day reminder was the procession that formed on Main street about 10 o'clock in the morning. Headed by the newly organized Logan city band the Woodman of tne World In their jaunty well-fitting costumes marched around a block and then up to tho cemetary. There City Attorney Attor-ney J. A. Sneddon gavo an address at the unveiling of the monument at the grave of Peter Pehrson, and Mr. A. A. Law did tho samo at tho grave of Cyrus Cy-rus Napper. Both addresses were appropriate ap-propriate and full of manly spirit and brotherly loe.' Then the grave of neighbor George Robinson was decorated deco-rated with flowers and the Woodmen returned to the city. All day long peoplo were driving to thcr cemetary and the Mower display was well worth seeing. |
