day in Norman, both at the Chris-
tian church and cemetery, and
were characterized by a large at-
tendance and highly impressive
ceremonies. The G. A. R. and
W. R. C. attended in a body.
A spirit of patriotism and respect
for the dead was everywhere in
evidence, and was demonstrated
by the decorating of the graves
with beautiful flowers. Both Fed-1
eral and Confederate soldiers, as
well as many of civilian rank, were
remembered, and the graves of
both the I. O. (). F. and St. Jos-
eph's cemeteries were bright with
floral tributes long before noon.
In the afternoon a program was
given at the Christian church be-
fore a good-sized audience. Rev.

assembly, and spoke words of
praise for the courage and forti-
tude of the Blue and Grav.

hard for the passing of a satisfac-
