Memorial Day Exercises.

The memorial exercises here
last Tuesday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, were largely attend
ed, as is always the case in patrl-
otto old Lancaster. The exercises
we're held at the court house and
were appropriate and sacred in
their nature. The address was
delivered by Rev. w. II. Hodges
who eulogized the Confederate
soldier and paid beautiful tribute
to the loyal women of the South
who did so much to inspire him
to duty during the fearful conflict
and who are foremost in doing
him honor after death Crosses
of honor were then delivered to
more than four score veterans by
the Lancaster Chapter U. D. c.,
j. L. Green, Esq making the
presentation speech for the Chap
ter. The exercises were inter-
spersed with appropriate patriotic
and sacred songs.
After the roll call Of the dead
the procession was formed for Il
line of march to the cemetery. In
the procession, besides veterans of
Lancaster, and Dixie Camps,
Ladies of the u. d. c., and citi-
zens generally, was over hundred
little girls and fully as many boys
bearing flowers. At the GENE.
terry the graves of the soldiers were
decorated while choir of GIRLS
from the graded school sang an
appropriate air. Long may this
beautiful custom uf decorating the
graves of the soldiers of the lost
cause be continued.

One of the flies in the ointment
of the loca! office seeker is the fel.
low who is always on the trail of
the candidate, asking for loan.
If the human thlng.who is forever
hounding local candidates, asking
for small loan, a loan mark yor
but never gift, could know in
what contempt he is held by the
man who gives him the few cents
he asks for, he would quit his busi,
ness of petty begging forever.
Like the poor, the fellow who
works office seekers for loan is
always present and his ranks are
never thinned. Every campaign
year ho comes forth, like blow
flies, from no one knows where.
aud stays uutil the last vote is
counted Oh election day.
The campaign borrower isa mon
umental liar. for he promises
feithful work to every candidate
but there is no more impartial be-
ing on the earth, for he is absol-
utely no respector of persons and
works every candidate of everypo-
Iitical'party!rhe borrowing friend
OF the candidate is u nuisance and
yet the candidate is responsible
for his existence. The candidate
has pampered and thereby encour-
aged him in his trade. We are op

dates would all combine against
