Very respectfully,
JOSHUA THOMAS, Adjutant.

HAGERsTowN, MD, June 7, 1904.
We know that this sentiment is not
echoed by the majority Of the people
of this community, no matter which
way they sided forty years ago, and
we think the war has been over too
long lor feelings of this kind and for
threats of trouble" Why, also,
should this flag be threatened any
more in Maryland than in West Vir-
ginia? Are not all States OF our I'm
ion the same?
We recall to mind little incident
of few years ago at the time OF the
unwilling of the Maryland monument
on Antietam Battlefield. This same
camp of Sons of Confederate Veterans,
carrying the same flag they carried in
Hagerstown on Sunday, attended the
unveiling exercises. Our late lament
ed President Mckinley was there also
as the guest of honor and chief speaker,
After the exercises as the camp was
marching on its way to the station the
carriage containing the President over
took them. Just before it did so,
however, the men were drawn up in
line along the roadside, and as ourPresi-
dent passed all uncovered and the flag
was dipped. The President took off
his hat and held it in his hand till his
carriage had driven past the line.
How different this action by great
Union soldier and the President of the
United States from the action of those
who threatened to cause trouble If that
same flag was brought to the memoir
ial services on Sunday last
We know that no better or more
loyal citizens Of the United States live
today than those men who marched to
Rose Hill Cemetery to do honor to
the Confederate dead, every one of
them as loyal and as ready to take up
arms in defence of their country as
any member of Reno Post In fat,
there was one man in line who did
lose a son in the late Spanish-Ameri-
can War, fighting for the Stars and
Stripes, but neither he nor any Of the
rest consider themselves the least bit
disloyal nor are we ashamed at any
time to march under the sky-blue ban
ner, containing in the center the en-
blem of the Lost Cause, and lay
last loving tribute Of flowers on the
graves of the thousands of brave un-
known dead, who rest in that beauti-
full spot in Rose Hill known as Wash
ington Cemetery.

Dear Sirs:
AT a meeting of Reno Post, G.. A. X,
it was reported that your camp would
attend memorial services in Rose Hill
Cemetery June ), 1904, and in all prooa-
bility you would bring your Confeder-
ate flag with you. AS one of your most
eminent commanders, General wheeler,
has said that we have but one country
and one flag, therefore it would be very
prudent in you to follow his motto, and
we would kindly advise you to leave
your Confederate flag at home and
bring "Old Glory" instead to avoid any
trouble.
Very respectfully,
Joshua THOMAS, Adiutant.

After travelling all over the State
Of Virginia in search Of site for
new State Normal School the legisla-
tive committee charged with making
the selection finds itselfunable to do so.
Thirty eight towns and cities in
Virginia have been inspected. The
result will likely be that the Legisla.
ture will be asked to erect three schools,
one at Harrisonburg or Front Royal,
another at Roanoke or Radford and
still another at Newport News. AS
there is little chance of so many schools
being built, the Legislature will prob
ably select one of the places named.

UuUIUU Gardening
Lands.

There has been for a long time
great demand for small tracts of land
at a reasonable price, located between
Parkersburg and Marietta, close to the
electric car line. Up to the present
time it has been impossible to supply
this demand. We have fortunately
lust been able to make arrangements
with company to place their land on
the market in tracts ranging from one
to twenty-one acres each. This land
is of fine quality and close to the car
line on which a daily express car now
runs to bring farm products to the
market. Some of these tracts have
many fruit trees on them. The loca-
ton is very desirable-entirely above
high water. 1t is close to the Beau
tiful Country Club and Gun Club
Buildings. The price ranges from
800 to $500 per acre, according to
location. Terms one-fourth cash,
balance one, two and three years.
First comels get choice of location.
Remember there is nothing else on
the market between Parkersburg and
Marietta so desirable that can be
bought at such a low price and on
easy payments.

there any disrespect shown to them or

WITH the greatest cheerfulness Mr..
Teter anG his friends still claim that
he will be nominated for Governor.
1t is absolutely certain that he has no
chance of winning, and the suspicion
Is growing that he is staying in the
race with the sole hope of keeping Mr..
Dawson from getting the nomination.
We have never believed that Mr..
Teter really expected to be Governor.
The object of the corporations that are
back Of him is simply to defeat Mr..
Dawson and tax reform, and they don't
mind sacrificing Mr.. Teter if their end
is accomplished. The probability is,
though, that tax reform is too far ad-
vanced to be stopped by the corpora
lions, for the people are back of the
movement.
