The headstones for the four hundred
and forty-eight graves of the confeder-
ate dead in the North Carolina lot in
Stonewall Cemetery, Winchester, have
arrived and been placed in position
This lot is the largest in the cemetery
and lies between the Virginia and South
Carolina lots. The headstones are of
white marble of uniform height and thick
ness and add considerably to the beauty
of the cemetery. There are twenty-one
soldiers buried in the North Carolina lot
whose names are unknown. In some in
stances their initials appear, in others

Some of our country friends are making
strong complaint about the scarcity of
hitching places for horses in Charles
Town. That they are often put to serious
Inconvenience there is no doubt, but the
problem of better accommodation in this
regard is one which we are not exactly
prepared to solve. OF course it is wrong
to hitch horses to shade trees and ruin
them, and this our friends freely admit !;
and what was known as the old county
stable" became an unbeatable nuisance.
Wemention the matter, however, in view
of the possibility of some one solving the
difficulty and relieving our country people
of serious drawback against their COM
ing to town more often.
