'''Arrangements for Memorial Day. '''

MAY 22.—Memorial day will soon be here and let the good people of Saranac Lake observe it in a manner that will show that they have not forgotten the boys who marched from their homes to do battle for their country during the dark days of the rebellion, especially those that are dead, and let us go to the cemeteries and pay them a tribute of love by scattering beautiful flowers on their graves. Let all business be suspended and all citizens that can join in the services on that day. The program of the day will be as follows: The members of Lennon Post, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Army_of_the_Republic|G. A. R.]], of this place will leave Saranac Lake at 8 A. M., accompanied by the [[Saranac%20Lake%20band|Saranac Lake band]], and go to [[Bloomingdale|Bloomingdale]] and join their Post there. After decorating the graves there they will return to Saranac Lake accompanied by Lennon Post, No. 490, Dept. N. Y., G. A, R., and a large delegation of citizens from Bloomingdale and surrounding towns, arriving at Saranac Lake at 12 o'clock noon. The line of march will then be formed, the right resting near the [[Berkeley%20House|Berkley house]], in the following order: 1st. [[Saranac%20Lake%20Cornet%20Band%20|Cornet band of Saranac Lake]]; 2d, colors; 3d, Lennon Post, No. 490, Dept. N. Y., G. A. R.; 4<sup>th,</sup> a band of young ladies dressed in white the daughters of veterans, bearing the floral decorations; 5th, speakers of the day in carriages; 6th, Saranac Lake Lodge, No. 891, I. O. G. T., in regalia; 7th, [[Woodruff%20Hose%20company|Woodruff Hose company]]; 8th, citizens from Bloomingdale and surrounding towns and Saranac Lake. Line of march: Down [[Main%20Street|Main St.]] to [[River%20Street|River]], up River to [[Pine%20Ridge%20Cemetery|cemetery]], where the ranks will be broken and memorial services be held. After this the line will be reformed in the same order as before and march to the grove where dinners will be served by the ladies. After dinner the Hon. Capt. S. A. Beeman, of Malone, will deliver the Memorial address. The [[Glee%20Club%20of%20Saranac%20Lake|Glee Club of Saranac Lake]] will furnish the singing. People that do not bring their eatables with them will be furnished with a first-class dinner for the small sum of 25 cents each. Dinner tickets sold on the grounds near the entrance to the tables. Capt. [[James%20H.%20Pierce|J. H. Pierce]], Marshal of the day; Capt. J. C. Ware, orderly. Parties wishing to contribute flowers will please leave them with committee at the library…
