Glenwood - A notable event took place at the G.A.R. Hall in this place on Saturday afternoon in the presentation by the Hon. G. A. Grow of a handsome memorial to the members of Capt. Lyons Post. The Sage of Glenwood gave one of the most able addresses that has been listened to for many a day. He held the large audience in rapt attention for nearly one hour and all were sorry when the speaker took his seat. The response by Dr. Davidson was a masterful oration, eulogizing the donor as one of the staunch friends of the old veterans of the late war for the Union. Comrade Ridgeway gave one of his inimitable songs, entitled "Uncle Sam's Fiddle," which brought down the house. The Ladies' Aid took advantage of the occasion and a most enjoyable spread was prepared, which gave good cheer and opened the way for the pocket to contribute to the joys of the occasion.
