You Must Be Joking.

The Winchester News-Item says:
st. Patrick's Day fallson March
II this year"
The News-ltem man is evidently
neither a Mystic Shriner nor an
lrishman. OF course there are a
large number of valuable citizens
of this community who do not come
under either class named; but we
had an idea that St. Patrick's Day
had fallen on March Il for a good
many years past-more years than
the News-Item man has seen.
Perhaps our neighbOr was en-
tering the wedge of a good joke.
If 30, let us have it; between the
combined worries of grip and get
ting our paper out this week, we
need good joke TO cheer us up.

like it was combination OF clay

you feel as though you didn't care

Francis Adams, Of Massachusetts,, whose

character OF General Lee. at Lexington.
on the nineteenth.
When Massachusetts, and Virginia
unite in adding lsurels to the fame OF
the SOuth's greatest hero of the times
that tried mems souls, it can truly be
said that the jubilee of peace has come.
Further, when the voice of Roosevelt
that stilled the tempest of war between
Russia and Japan is raised in tribute TO
Lee and to the men who followed him, II
would seem that the world is coming to
recognize the truth of Mr.. Roosevelt's
statement that General Lees campaigns
put him in the foremost rank of the
great captains of all times" What could
be more inspiring than words coming
from one who is recognized by many as
the foremost man of our time, Theodore
Roosevelt, in writing of General Lee
The courage and steadfast endurance.

given TO each man to see the right.
whether he wore the gray or whether he
wore blue, now makes the memories Of
the valiant feats alike Of those who
served under Grant and OF those who
served under Lee, previous to all good
Americans"
1t would seem that nothing short Of
the great war which ragged in blood for
four awful years could bring Massachu-
setts and Virginia so near together as to
induce descendants Of the Pilgrim fathers
to admire the loftiest ideal, born Of the
Cavalier stock, OF the Old Dominion.
But the time has arrived, the millennium
mas come, the angel Of peace is lowering
with radiant wing over all the borders
Of our united land. Ephraiam shall no
longer envy Judah nor Judah yex Eph-
raiam- The lion and the lamb shall lie
down together and the young child shall
lead them. Let the dead past bury the
dead. recognizing the fact that :he
God Of the universe often, with nations.
as with men, ordains that temporary ad-
versity shall be made the crown iswelof
success. Let US see, in the light Of the
FURNISHED wings of the Angel of peace,
the goal of prosperity and power toward
which a proud and glorious destiny is
pointing our beloved Southland. Letus
learn that the star Of our once loved
Virginia, If we have the zeal for her
welfare as when her harvest was death
and her vintage was blood" will ascend
to the zenith, shining with increasing
lustre, excelling even her ancient re-
nOwn.
Generations unborn will entwine
around the brow OF her Washingtons
and Lees laurels, whose encircling
beauty will be faoeless until time shall
be no more.
