The 30th day of May, 1868 is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise deco- rating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bod- ies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
