Capt. William Laughlin, chairman
of Louisiana monument committee.
in the course of his speech at Win
chester said:
1t might be eminently proper at
this time, if 1 were capable of ex-
pressing in appropriately strong lam
guage the tribute so justly due to
the women of the Valley" for their
tender care and interest taken in
Louisiana's dead for over thirty
years for, sir, I firmly believe that
their gentle and untiring attentions
first gave rise to the thought that
has crystalized into the glorious
achievement we are here to commem-
crate today. To them be glory
forever. Also to Comrade Charles
Broadway Rouss, the Confederate
cavalry private, the noble Virginian,
the great American phiIanthropist
whose name and memory will ever
be revered in this beautiful city of
Winchester, we are particularly in
debted for what we have been able
to accomplish. To him belongs the
credit of the first substantial con-
tribution.

hundred dollars borrowed money and the bal
ance of material bill. Our creditors are
pressing us fer the money. Mr. Rouss, who
has not only proven himself friend. but our
most generous benefactor, has, as you are
aware, donated $4,000 for the building, and
has thus contributed having no personal in
terest in the town other than desire to see IL
prosper in every particular. Our citizens have
not, all told, contributed over two hundred
dollars in this enterprise, and some of the
subscriptions arc yet unpaid.
The ire company is mGde up OF men VINO
are limited in means, two or three of the
members having to bear large per cent of
the expenses. out OF their own resources.
This building which You all prize SO much as
an ornament to our town is really the prop
erty af the town, and not of the fire company.
The company, at the present time, receives
not dollar OF support from the town, in
keeping up the repairs of building and running
expenses of the company. All service rem
dered to the town by the Company is done
without one cent OF compensation, and duty
is performed often at the risk of health and
life purely and alone for the protection OF life
and property of their fellow citizens.
The corporation of the town is unable to as
sist us, and we appeal to you as individuals.

to our needs, cannot you, who have done so
little, and who are more or less interested in
the welfare of our company, generously help
in this our hour of need.
Besides the former amount given by myself,
and labor and time contributed, J. will give
thirty dollars moro, or will be one of seven
persons to contribute one hundred dollars each
to clear OFF the debt.
Yours Respectfully,

The Memorial Abbey.

Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss, act
inc unon representations made to
him by committee of the poara Oh
trustees of the proposed Southern
Memorial Abbey, has withdrawn his
conditional offer for 100000 sub
seription provided the abbey was
located in Washington city, and the
matter has resolved itself back to his
original proposition, which is that he
will give his check for 100000 as
soon as similar amount is obtained
in subscriptions. There was decided
objection developed at the late re-
union in Richmond, Va, to locating
the abbey in Washington, and this
fact having been made known Off
cially to Mr.. Rouss, he promptly
abandoned that scheme. Within the
next twelve munths it is confidently
expected that subscriptions largely
exceeding 500, 900 will be received,
and it is understood Mr.. Rouss
stands ready to duplicate any amount
in excess of that sum that may be
secured. The cities which will now
most likely contest for the location
will be Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville
and New Orleans, and, as all are
attractive places, the question of To-
cation will, doubtless, to consider
able extent, depend upon the liber-
atty of the offers they make. But il
was quite apparent at the Richmond
reunion that the sentim ent of the old
veterans was largely in favor of that
city as the location of the abbey fol-
many reasons, the strongest of which
was that it was for four years the
capital of the Confederate States.

Stephenson Seminary.

"Timothy," in a letter to the
Shepherdstown Independent, says of
Stephenson Seminary:
The Rev. Mr.. Campbell, the Princi-
pal, is a gentleman of large expert
ence as an educator, and take it that
in all the requisi ties TO success in fill
ing so important a post, he is not
wanting in anything. Thorough
knowledge of the books and studies
taught, enforcement of discipline, and
in thenice relation of Principal and
teacher with the pupils, maintaining
the amenities of the situation in the
happiest manner. So many schools
of the kind exist in the country, with
lively competition in practice, that
it behooves those at the head to hustle
around to some extent, solicit patron
age, and in the best possible manner
bring their schools be fore the public:
Such being the case, Stephenson Sem
mary, for young ladies', is not behind
any in advantages. Beautifully stu
ated on the eastern outskirt of the
town, with campus of shade and
grass of spacious size, a four-story
brick building of ample room capacity
well ventilated, watered and lighted,
commanding view of unprecedented
beauty, combining mountain, hill and
dale. blending town and country in
It's location, with every surrounding
to promote health and comfort, where
will you find school with more ele-
ments to draw? The lot of several
acres was the gift of the late John
Stephenson, of this town, to be used
for such purpose before the war
and after lying a number of years
unused, as to the donors intent, q
joint stock company was formed.
the present building was erected.
and the school put in operation, and
1 unhesitatingly say it is an orna-
ment and important addition to our
county and section and deserves
