Don’t forget the “Loyalty Day” exercises tomorrow, Friday, afternoon at 3 o’clock. The procession will form at the stone arch bridge and march to west Main street and back, and if the day is favorable, the brief exercises will be held on the street at the Postoffice corner. Let the occasion be an expression, in unmistakable terms, of the patriotism and loyalty of the people of Marion and surrounding country.

“The Resurrection,” an Easter cantata will be presented by the union chorus and orchestra Sunday evening at the auditorium. C.C. Brooker is director and Mrs. V. M. Tilson, accompanist.

A mail sack of government garden seeds has been received by the Record for distribution. Each package contains peas, beets, lettuce, muskmelon and radish. Until next Tuesday, they will go to county people, outside of Marion, who come after them or who drop us a card asking for a package. No postage required. If you shouldn’t get your package, you’ll know your request came too late. On Tuesday, they will go to town folks, if there are any left.
