BARNARD GIVES FLAG TO POST 0Old Soldiers to Attend Patriotic Ser- vices—Short of Funds—Wants Let- ters of Administration on Father’s Extate—Sunday in the Churches. Plang for the observance of Memor- ial day will be formulated this even- | ing at a joint meeting of committees selected by Manross post, G, A. R., The members report that they have not definitely decided as to what form the celcbration will take this year, but it is probabile that it will be of the usual order, . Flijah S. Williams, commander of the post, heads the veterans’ commit- tee, The observance of Decoration day was considered at the last meet- ing of the organization, but nothing definite was done, the members de- ciding to leave the arrangements en- tircly in the hands of the committee. 1t is probable that members will be selected to attend to the decorating of the graves in both Plainville and Forestville on Sunday, May 30, the veterans holding exercises at the mon- ur-ent plot in the center. The school chirdren will be invited to participate and the Sons of Veterans will also as- sist. The veterans have accepted an invi- tation from Rev, J .W. Denton to at- tend patriotic services in the Advent Curistian church on Sunday evening, ¥ 30. Mr, Denton will give an ap- propriate sermon. The post will at- tenda in a body. Members of the organization are ap- preciative of the gift of a valuable American flag presented to the post by F. O. Bernard. Mr, Barnard's father, M. H. Barnard, who was a member of the post, purchased the flig scme years ago. He valued it highly, and his son decided to give it to the veterans. The Memorial day committee ad- mits it is hampered to some extent in preparing for the celebration of the event, owing to lack of funds. The town appropriates but $40 a year for this purpose, although it gave a sim- ilar amount many years ago when there were less than half as many graves as there'are at present to decs ofte. Bristol ‘has increased its con- tribution to $75, and other places are also allowing a larger amount for the expernses incurred by the veterans. Little attention apparently has been given the matter here, and the fail- ure of the town to increase the ap- propriation is probably due to an over- sight. The post has no funds of its own to draw on, and the Memorial day ccmmittee has to depend entirely or the allowance made by the town. ‘Wants Administration Letters, Clinton Cowles of Springfield, Mass., hos written to Judge George R. By- ington for information concerning the pr-.cedure required for obtaining let- ters o2 administration on the estate of his father, William L. Cowles, who icd recently .in Waukegan, Ill. In ‘his note he makes no mention as to whather or not the deceased manufac- turer left a will., It is not believed that the Cowles esti'a will be appraised as valuable. A number of years ago Mr. Cowles was a prosperous manufacturer, but he subsequently lost practically all his money. Although-he was over seven- ty vears of age he started over again as a manufacturer a decade ago and it is said that up to the time of his retirement he was successful. His estate, however, is thought to be small. Get Race Track in Shape.
