The Sentiment General Among Our CillZens that Memorial Day Ceremonies Should be Held on Sunday This Year. “HE sentiment and opinion ioaaiin: among our merchants and people generally that the date fer hold_ing the Memorial Day services this year. should be ~ changed from Saturday to Sunday—that is, held one day later. While there are many advantages to be gained in fixing Sunday as the date ifor payitig our memorial tributes" to the honored dead, we have ‘heard no logical reason advanced why the change should. not be made. We feel certain that the Memorial Day Committee are anxious to please the) majority of our citizens in this matter and would act.accordingly, so as there is ample time to make ‘the change without inconvenience to all interested, we respectfully kindly sug— gest that the Committee ascertain the general wish of tHe people, as well as the various organizations directly interested, and give official notice of the change, if found practicable to make.the change. We believe the proposition to be both feasible and practicable and advance~the following reasons why the change should be made: First, for the accommodation and convenience of our business men-who-all want-toattend the exercises at the grove, but many of whom will be deterred from so doing if the ob_gervance is-made-on Saturday. -As-all are aware, Saturday is the busiest day of the week for our merchants, and being market day the storekeepers can ill afford to sacrifice it; and to make matters worse the merchants and their clerks have a-great deal of special work to do on the last Saturday'. ’ of the month, in order to prepare for collection day. As our _ merchants are the principal contributors: to the fon for deshould receive just ‘isapidadpsling: Second, there would be a larger representation of our. people who could unite with the civic organizations which _ are to parade, if the date was fixed for Sunday. It would give many of our people, who are out of town during the week and who are generally here on Sunday, a better opportunity to attend the Memorial ceremonies, also. Saturday is a hard day to collect the children together, as they are wont to use it as a day of their own, indiscriminately. As it is desired to have the full number of children attending the public schools turn out in their parade, together. with the teachers, Sunday would undoubtedly prove the most advantageous day. Many Grass Valley people would undoubtedly attend the exercises on Sunday who could not come on a week day. In fact, we believes a change of only one day from the usual date will increase the attendance fully one-third. Further, a change to Sunday would incur no alteration in the outlined program and features connected therewith. Memorial Day was not designed to be commemorative of no certain date in history, or anniversary. The idea was to set apart some day i in the year when the people as a whole would unite in the various communities and with appropriate exercise deck the graves of departed war heroes, as well as our own loved ones, with beautiful flowers. Therefore the 3Ist.of May would be just as appropriate a date as the 30th. Then again, Memorial Day is, or should he, a day sacredly impressive and full of reverential thought and sentiment not only for the departed ones, but the average mind on this date also dwells on immortality and spiritual matters. This being the case, no religious person will object to holding Memorial services on the Sabbath, as these services are always conducive of much spiritual iuspiration and benefit, We feel confident that the pastors of our various churches and all the good Christians who are members of the. several denomina— tions, would or postpone their usual Sunday morning service until the afternoon, for once, if such a reasonable request be made of them by the Committee on behalf of our citizens. And would it not be a grand plan for the churches to hold.a union service in the afternoon and have the various _pastors preach short sermons appropriate to Memorial Day. We are certain this would draw a large number of people who seldom attend church, and their hearts and consciences would be in the right condition to. receive deep and lasting i impressions. But we are diverging. With the above main reasons in favor of holding the Memorial Day services on Sunday, this time (and many other favorable points which we have not time now to dwell on) we feel confident that this departure “would greatly please the public. In fact, if put to a popular vote the result would be an orerwheneny choice in favor nf . Sunday, We earnestly hope that the Meniorial Das Eset ealttbs HIRD fete She spate. t once Upright At 10:45 o'clock this forenoon a ‘pall: of gloom was cast over the entire community by the annoudcement ‘that exMayor Gault, one of the foremost and. most honored citizens of Nevada Oity, had crossed the Great Divide. Death, that ever prevailing shadow, had again stolen over the thresh’ of an erstwhile quiet “end home and called therefrom the spirit of a man whom people had learned to love, revere and obey. The spirit that bad jain patiently for weeks pest, awatting the floal summons, took ite to those only who have best paved the path and prepared the way to ethereal realms beyond, Mr, Gault was stricken “down about six monthe ago with a servere attack of rheamatism, and despite the fact that the best medical skill and experienced nurses were procured in his behalf, be continued to fail, until within about two weeks ago a complete breakdown of bis once fine and robust constitution occurred, and he sank rapidly until death relieved him. Although . saffering intensely at times, the old pioneer bore hie pain with a courage and stoicism that won for him the sympathy of the whole people. Alexander Gault was born in the North of Ireland in 1829. In 1847 he left bis native land and came to Amer. ica, settling in New York, It was in . that great city that he met, wooed and wedded the lady who has ever boen by . ‘his side during all the vicissitudes of life which has been theirs since they plighted their troth fifty years ago the %th of April last. In 1859 Mr. Gault harkened anto the advice of Horace Greeley, ‘Go. West, young man,” and rounded the Horn, bound for California, the land of gold, . !zee +fruit end-flowere. May of that year he landed in San Francisco and after remaining there shout six weeke decided. to comé to Nevada Oity, and it was here he hes resided ever since, béing one of the humble, though noné the less potent factors in the growth and “development of the county in which, he had chosen to cast his lot. On bis arrival bere Mr. Gault, being a baker by trade, sought and found employment, and worked at that trade antil 1866, when he opened a bakery for himself, which he conducted succesafally up to the hour of his death, He has long been identified with the prosperity of this city, helping to further her every interest and never forseking a project that would in any wise redound to the benefit of the people among whom he lived. Soj_ untiring was bein the furtherance of his ambitions that he was wont to remark that the morning sun hed never risen earlier than he for the past forty years. Io 1888 Mr. Gault was prevailed apon to enter the race as a candidate for City Trustee, and was elected by a vote that attested the worth and esteem In which he was held. He possessed all the requisites that tended to make him invaluable to the city. To the people retained bim in office up t the time of his death. In 1901 his colthem, On May 15, 1868, Mr. Gaalt enlisted fa the Nevada Light Guard, which was afterward merged into Co. 0,. N G. OC. In that regiment he was odemissioned a 8d Sergeant, which office be retained for many years.

Frank Bone, who has been employed by John Burke of North Bloomfield of late, met with a distressing accident at that place yesterday. Mr. Bone was engeged in unroofing a houee for Mr. Burke and was using a crowbar in doing the work, Having occasion to use the hammer he laid the crowbar down. While striking with the hammer he missed his mark and struck the crowbar a terrific blow. The force was so great as to knock a pieces of steel off the implement, which flew up and entered the left eye and lodged there. He ‘sought a physician immediately, who afforded what relief that lay in his power. He urged Mr. Bone to go below and consult an ocalist, and Mr. Bone heeded the advice. He left this morning for Sacramento to place himself under the care Of Dr. Briggs, the noted eye specialist. The unfortunate gentleman is saffering excratiating pain and it is feared that the sight of the optic has been destroyed. : Headache Saps Your Vitality And wrecks the brain.
