they hitched their traction engine to itand

The petition for new road from Duh
fields to Shenandoah Junction was con-
sidered by the county court on the last
day of the November term, and was re-
fused. In opposition to the road advo-
Gates was a petition signed by the prop
erty owners through whose land it was
proposed to run the road, with signatures
of many property holders about Duffields,
The counter petition recited that there are
already two roads between the two places
one on the east and the other on the west
side of the B. & o. Railroad. Both OF
these roads, however, are circuitous, re-
curing one to travel over mile in or
der to 90 from one town to the other. 1t
was proposed to run the new road along
the railroad, which would shorten the
distance between them to about half
mile. There was not sufficient need for a
road there, the court believed, and the
proposed road was rejected.

to-day. Addresses were made by Col Ed
mund Berkeley, the ranking Confederate
officer of this county, and by Lieut.
George G. Round. the clerk Of the school
board. who was cornmissio7ed as a signal
officer by Abraham Lincoln.
Col. Berkeley lost all his property by
the war. including 100 slaves. and in
Pickett's charge at Gettysburg ne was
badly wounded
He told the children that. in common
with the rest OF the South, he had felt
great bitterness against President Lin
coin. but he had become convinced that
Lincoln was raised I'D by Providence to
bring about the destruction OF slavery
and the perpetual union OF our country.
He recIted, By request, , poem written
by him some years ago, entitled The
South Received Her Hardest Blow When
Abraham Lincoln Died"
He said he hoped the United States
would extend the Lincoln memorial high
way from Gettysburg to Manassas, thus
binding together North and South.
He closed by saying: Il can sincerely
and truthfully declare that ] would not
have had Abraham Lincoln to have acted
differently for any earthly consideration. e
