OLD GLORY WILL GO Back.
Long our starry banner floated
In the soft Havana air,

Long our starry banner floated
In the soft Havana air,
Emblem of a mighty nation
That was keeping vigil there.
Oft the passing zephyrs kissed it,
OFT the breezes from the sea
Kept Old Glory proudly streaming
In that lair of tyranny.
Long it waved there though twas hated
BY oppressors of that land;
Where the torch and sword and famine
Were the weapons at command.
But, although by foes surrounded,
Still it fioated, proud and free,
For twas safe within the keeping
OF our gallant Consul Lee,
Now the winds that often tossed it,
Yainly seek it as they roam,
For tits Freedoms sacred banner,
And she called it to her home.
But no alien touch defIed 1t
In the far Havana town,
For the hands of those who love it
Hauled the glorious standard down.
Though no more the starry banner
Floats above that isle of Spain,
Not one star of it is blemished,
On its stripes there's not stain.
Millions rally to defend it
At menace of foe,
And when comes the call for action
To the front they gladly go.
Soon again that flag will flutter
In the breeze on Cuban shore
Soon Old Glory Will be streaming
Still more proudly than before.
There its stripes will wave in triumph,
Tossed by breezes from the sea,
And by friends twill be surrounded,
Friends from tyranny set free.

The Cumberland and Shenandoah
Valleys are one and the same, local.
lied by different names, of which the
Potomac river is the dividing line.
The general direction is northeast
and southwest. The northwestern
boundry of the valley is the North
or Kittatiny mountain in the Cum.
berlsnd valley, and the Little North
mountain in the Shenandoah valley.
These ranges are continuous, save
where interrupted, like the valley by
the passage of the Potomac through
them. Parallel to this range and
about the same distance from it,
three creeks drain the valleys, two,
the Opequon and Conococheague,
flowing north and south, empty into
the Potomac, and one, the Conodo.
guinet, flowing north, empties into
the Susquehanua.
These streams are the dividing
line between the Trenton limestone
and the Hudson River slate, the
slate lands lying TO the west, and
make pretty direct line from Har-
risburg to Winchester.
What is now Franklin county was
formerly part OF Cumberland coun-
ty, known as the Conococheague
settlement, and its principal stream,
the Conococheague creek.
1t is tradition that great part
of the best lands in the Conoco.
cheague valley, where at the first
settlement OF the county, what is
now called in the western states
"prairie. Tie land was without
timber, covered with rich, luxuriant
grass, with some scattered trees,
hazel bushes, wild plums and crab
apples. 1t was then generally call.
ed the "barrens.n
The timber was found on or near
the water courses and on the slate
soil. This accounts for the prefer.
ence given by the early Scotch Irish
settlers to the slate lands, before the
limestone lands were surveyed and
located. The slate had the attrac-
tons of wood, water courses and
meadows, and were free from rock
at the surface. (Men of mark Of the
Cumberland valley, Alfred Nevin.)
In the Shenandoah valley precise.
~ the came conditions prevailed.
Kercheval in the History of the Val.
ley of Virginia Up. 4l says: "Much
the greater part OF the country be-
tween what is called the Little North
Mountain anG the Shenandoah river.
at the frst settling Of the valley was
one vast prairie, and like the rich
prairies of the west offered the finest
pasturage for Wild animals. The
buffalo, elk, deer, wolf, and all other
kinds of wild animals, wild fowls,
etc., common to forest countries.

The movement to organize summer

took definite shape at a meeting held
last night. There were present Mr..
Will Handlan, representing Mozart
Park; Mr.. c. Hirsch, representing
Wheeling Park; Mr.. w. j. Ennis, man
ager of the Musee. 1t was stated that
Mr.. Charles Seibert would enter three
teams for his alleys.
The general subject was talked over
and the failure of representatives of
other alleys to respond to the invita-
ton brought out a suggestion that a
twelve club league be organized with
four clubs representing Wheeling Park,
two representing Mozart Park, three
representing the Musee, and three rep
resenting Seiberts.
Another meeting will be held next
Monday night. at which report will
be received upon the number of clubs
which can be organized and schedule
arranged.
