From time to time, and particularly during the past week, one has seen numerous reports from all over the state of celebrations in honor of the soldiers who lost their lives in the late war, but, apparently Dorchester County citizens have forgotten that many of their brave boys made the supreme sacrifice.

So engrossed are most of the businessmen in making money that they have no time for such things, and yet these boys of ours gave their lives to make the business of these men safe. Is it not time that something were done?

Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne’s, Cecil, Wicomico, Somerset, in fact, nearly all of the counties of the state have done or are doing something.
