At the Old Chapel.

The annual Decoration Day SER
vices will be held at the Old Chapel
on Saturday. June 2, at p. m.
The address will be delivered by
Rev. A. &. Hopkins. of Charles
Town.
Year by year the number Of
honored dead who sleep in the Old
Chapel cemetery grows larger. and
we doubt if any year in the history
of the cemetery has brought more
deaths than the past year.
Within the past few weeks some
of the most widely known and
popular men Of the County have
passed into the Great Unknown
and their bodies now rest i'm thc
Old Chapel cemetery.
Year after year the annual flow
er strewing at the Old Chapel takes
on a more solemn and mournful
aspect, aS we see those whom VI,
know and love pass into the realm
of the dead.
When tine flowers are bloomi y
everywhere, and nature seems
sweet with the perfume, it is only
right that we should take at least
one day from our work and oifcr
up our most sincere appreciation
in memory of those who have gone
before.
Every living thing must die.
Life is "a puzzle; and Death Is ON"
of the unsolvcd and unsolvallc
mysteries.
You may believe in any Greed or
Doctrine, acccptany Faith orCul;.
or You may believe that Every
thing begins with birth and ends
at the grave; but, i'm the presence
of Death, all religious inclinations.
all social, personal and political
ideals. are overcome.
Death Is the Great Leveler.
The rich and the poor, the
famous and the unknown. the
priest and the atheist, all meet on
a common level, when the body is
lowered into the ground and the
clods of earth rattle down upon
the coffin.
Some OF the most famous men
and women of Virginia lie asleep
at the Old Chapel, aS well as some
who lived their allotted span within
4 stones throw of their birthplace
and were unknown beyond the
confines OF Clarke county. But
on the annual Decoration Day.
June ,, all will receive the same
honor and courtesy. Garland~ of
flowers will decorate the graves 1i
each.
Let everyone who Is not pre-
vented by illness or inability De
present at the flower >trewing this
year and give full measure of re-
Spect and love to the honored dead.
Semper vincit amer.
Love conquerS all things even
the thought of death.

Rev. 7. B. Shepherd

The Rev. Thomas Benton Shep-
herd, who died at his home near

TERED in the Baptist Churchyard
on Sunday, was truly worthy of
the title of "a beloved brother and
a faithful minister"
Born nearly seventy years ago
at the home of his father, the late
Mr. p. b. Shepherd, in Clarke
county, on the farm now owned by
Col. ;. :. Thomas, he was educated

ical course at the Southern Baptist
Seminary, Greneville, :. c.. he

the place Of birth, proving an ex-
ception to the old adage that man
is not without honor save among
his own people.
He at different times had been
pastor of churches at Borrvville.
Charles Town. NIillwood. Bethel.
Rockland, Front Royal. Pleasant
Valley. In Fauquicr. and Ketocton.
i'm Loudoun, proving himself a
faithful and efficient minister and
q simple. guileless. loyable man.
and binding his people to him at
each place by the strongest ties of
love.
At Berryville,where he was per-
haps best known, he was most
highly esteemed and dearly loved
by old and young. and his own af-
fection was strongest for his home
church.
Here his loved ones we're buried
and here he is at rest after a life
filled with years of usefulness.
He was widely known and highly
esteemed among all the Baptist
Ministers of this and adjoining
States. being pure I'm life and wise

should trail several inches on the floor as re-

The skirts for the bridesmaids and maid of
honor scarcely more than touch the floor, and
some are even dancing length, for which purpose
they are afterwards used. For the matron of

floor length is most often seen, that is lying on
the floor for five inches and just touching in
