THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE DISC0VERER.
Celebrated in Handsome STYLE.

The 21st of October having been designated
by our highest authorities, as the day appro-
pirate for the celebration of the discovery of
the Western Continent Staunton Joined with
the hosts, marshaled all over the country to
commemorate that event
The Catholic Hibernian Beneficial Associa-
ton out in full force was active in leading the
way and in making preparation for the great oc-
casion. Joining, in with the spirit of patriotic
devotion to country, the unfaiing Stonewall
Brigade Band and the uniformed rank of the
J. Z. B. Stuart Division of the Knights of
Pyihlas, were the other organized bodies in the
moving column.
The Chief Marshal, Mr. Ed Burke, a COM
manding figure at all times, and on this oc-
casion, he was fine representative of the
spirit of the people and their purposes to hon
or the day associated in the greatest event of
Modern history The long roll of his aides,
in which were numbered our citizens fore
most in the professions and commerce and
trade, and all the progressive interests of the
Queen City of the Valley as she leads her de-
monstration which is to infuse the spirit of
power, as we contribute to the four hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of America.
The services at st. Francis Catholic church
and the public schools of the city, were most
appropriate and delightfully."- entertaining.
The parade following inspiriting, as the
opening paragraph indicate, was one of superb
or caste, and scarcely excelled by any which
has taken place of late years.
Three-score or more of carriages in which
were seated the city officials and our citizens,
the aged and the young, moving in long pro-
cession brought up by full force of mounted
men was the pride of the hour as the genial
rays of the autumn midday sun blessed the
occasion.
Flags displaying the national colors and ap-
propriate inscriptions foated from the build
ings along the principal streets. A holiday in
business and at our educational institutions,
gave opportunity to the people en- n,dsse, to
join in the pleasures of a day that can well be
registered in the history of Staunton with ev-
cry pleasing reflection.
As a rule women on account of their Sc
dentary occupations, suffer far more from
headache than men, and for some reason not
so obious they are more frequently the victims
of earache. To all those who are slaves either
to the one or the other we would heartily
commend and recommend Salvation Oil, the
unfailing cure for headache, earache, and all
other bodily pains. Price 25 cents.
