G.A.R. CAMP FIRE PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL
ABOUT 60 PRESENT AT HALL, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.  RAIN STOPPED MANY.

	Friday afternoon occurred the 50th anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s
surrender at Appomatox which ended the civil war.
	In keeping with such an occasion, every G.A.R. post in the United States were
requested to observe the day in a fitting way.
	Comrade Burton was in charge of the meeting, giving the address of welcome, he
called upon Rev. Burkett for prayer.
	The male quartette from the college rendered America at this time, following
which Rev. Langdon gave a short talk on the life of Gen. Grant, after Rev.
Bixler responded with a talk on the life of Gen. Lee.  The quartette sang a
southern melody at this time following which Rev. Carr spoke on the
reconstruction period of southern history and Rev. Pettit on “Our United Country.”
	Instead of Memorial services being as given last week a change has been made. 
The sermon will be preached in the town hall, the Sunday before Decoration Day.
 The memorial address and decorating of the local cemetery on Saturday
preceeding the day, and the outlying cemeteries on the following Sunday.
