THE CELEBRATION.
Committees Working Hard to
Make it Success.

Preparations for the great decennial
celebration are progressing finely and
If the plans that are being mapped on t
by the various committees are followed
up, which they no doubt will be, this
celebration will be pageant of much
greater magnitude than it's progenitors
expected. The committee on music has
received proposition from the famous
Stonewall band, of Staunton. which it
will probably accept, and thus secure
this popular band for the celebration.
The committee is also in correspondence
with the Soldiers Home band.
The cadets of the Virginia Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College of Bla .ks-
burg, will attend in body and will take
place in the military division of the
procession. Tho V. NJ. I. boys, of Lex
ington, will also probably be here. The
committee on orders and fraternities
held an important meeting yesterday
afternoon and is perfecting arrange
ments to bring out all the orders in full
regalia. The committee on accommo.
dations met at the rooms of the Com
mercial Association yesterday at five
o'clock. 1t reports that it is being sue

fore numerous audience in the city of

asked him to make transfer of his

Tne story of a Lost Locket,

Mrs. Andrew Crosse, in Temple Bar,
tells pretty little story of lost
lockct The famous eccentric Lady
Hester Stanhope told the physician
who travelled with her to the east that
she had never known but three really
great men. They were her uncle, VIII
liam Pitt; her brother, James Stanhope;
and Sir John Moore. The two last were
both killed in the battle of Corunna.
She got lock of the hair of each, and
set them in gold locket, with the coat
of-arms and name of each respectively.
In 1914 Lady Hester determined to live
permanently in Syria, and sent for her
possessions-this lockct being among
them. The ship containing her val
uables sailed and was heard of at
Cypress; soon after one of those Medi-
terranean squalls came on and nothing
more was ever heard of ship, crew or
cargo. Thirty years elapsed. Lady
Hester had long been dead when IL let
ter came to the admiralty from the con-
sui at Jaffa saying that an Arab had
picked up on the beach gold ornament
with Frank characters. This
was the long-lost lockct, and Lord
Stanhope kindly giving up his claim to
it. says Mrs. Crosse, it became Sir
Graham Moorc's and is now in INV DOS
session
