MEMORIAL UNVEILED

To commemorate the first unfurling of
the Stars and Stripes in battle, monu-
ment of rugged Brandywine granite was
unveiled Tuesday afternoon at Cooch's
Bridge on the historic spot where the
emblem of red, white and blue, was
faunted aloft to inspire the gallant troops
under General George Washington in
their skirmish with the British red coats
under Lord CORVALLIS. just 124 years
ago, the sturdy colonists, battling most
devoutlY for independence, on September
Sd, l777, charged oyer the hallowed
ground about Coech's Bridge, and it was
eminently fitting that the unveiling cere-
monies should haye been conducted SO
appropriately Tuesday by the patriotic
societies and citizens of Delaware.
Rains during the early part of the after
noon had made the roads and grounds at
Cooch's in a condition not conducive to
pleasant walking. but the party merrily
Wended its way from the train to the
scene of the ceremonies. On arriving
there, it was conspicuously noticeable
that hundreds of horses and carriages
had driven from the surrounding country
and the roads and grounds thereabouts
being dotted with vehicles of all descrip-
tions. Cecil countains were there in
goodly numbers, for did not the Mary
landers have feeling of pride in the
ceremonies because of the part played by
their state in the memorable campaign in
the country in which the folk were then
gathered?
