Memorial Day Services.

The observance of Confederate memorial
day in Shepherdstown last Saturday at
tracted the usual orderly crowd that an
nually gathers on this occasion to pay its
tribute of love to the soldiers who fell in
defense Of the rights of the South and
whose ashes lie in Elmwood Cemetery.
The procession was formed in front of
the college building with R. T. Banks as
chief marshal. The Shepherd College
Cadets led the procession, headed by the
drum corps, and following were the vet
Grams and sons of veterans. At the cem-
etery the service at the monument was
first held, the exercises being in charge
of John H. Schoppert, president OF the
memorial association. AT the close OF
this service Bugler Harris Heidwohl
sounded taps very impressively, and the
cadets fired a salute over the graves OF
the soldiers. At the rostrum the address
of the day was delivered by Rev. Carlton
D. Harris, of Baltimore. Mr.. Harris, who
is most genial gentleman and pleasing
speaker and always welcome visitor to
Shepherdstown, delivered a fine address
one that was most thoroughly appre-
ciated by the large audience that listened
attentively to every word. He paid high
tribute to the valor and devotion OF the
Southern soldiers, and with anecdote and
illustration alternately had the people
smiling or r-bedimmed. His address
was not only a eulogy Of the dead, but al
so an exhortation to the living to lead no.
BILE lives. Everybody was pleased with
Mr.. Harris's speech and he enlarged his
circle OF friends by his acceptable words.
Excellent music was rendered by achoir,
under the direction Of Mrs. M. E. Spohn.
The ever-lengthening roll of honor
the list of those who died in battle or who
have since passed away-was read by H.
L. Snyder.
The decoration of the soldiers graves
was strikingly beautiful this year, far
handsomer than we remember ever hav-
ing seen before. A wreath Of evergreen
and another Of lovely spring flowers was
on each tombstone, while on every grave
was beautiful Confederate flag. The
familiar colors waving gently in the breeze
presented very impressive and striking
scene, and those who were instrumental
in securing the flags must be commended
for their good work. A number OF South
Carolina flags were also sent here to be
placed on the graves Of soldiers from that
State.
In every respect the observance of me-
mortal day was as it should be, and Oh!
people are TO be congratulated upon the
impressive and orderly manner in which
the exercises were carried out.

The Work is Finished.

The work of removing the old iron
bridge of the Norfolk & Western Railway
across the Potomac river has been COM
pleted. All that remains TO be done by
the bridge workers is to take apart the
great iron traveller and load If on the cars
and pack up their belongings-and in
about ten days they will be over the hills
and far away.
A stupendous piece of work has been
accomplished here without serious ac-
cident. A great iron bridge, about 200
feet in length and over hundred feet
above the water, has been built, and an
other almost as long and high been re-
moved, and not man has been hurt to
keep him from work more than day or
two, nor has any accident caused trouble
or delay. Foreman Facey, who has had
charge of the work, says that he regards
it as rare piece of luck TO go through
with such an undertaking so successfully,
but we will say for him that ii is more
than good luck-it shows ability and skill
full management. Mr.. Facey goes from
here to New York, where he will have
charge of work on the Long Island Rail-
road. He leaves on Friday or Saturday
of this week.
, The old iron bridge has been shipped
to Richmond, Va, where il goes to the
scrapiron pile, having. been purchased by
a dealer in that city for some $1,000. II
weighed between 600 and 700 tons. 1t is
possible that parts of it may be utilized
for building bridge at some other point,
but this is rather doubtful undertaking,
as il is an obSelute design and too light
for the heavy locomotives used nowadays.
It cost the railroad people more TO take it
down and remove il than they got for it,
The stone piers upon which it rested still
remain in place. We have not been able
to learn what will be done with them.

town district have commenced their sum-
mer campaign for good roads, and will
this season put on more metal and make
more Improvements than in any previous
year. ]. M. Hendricks will put about
200 perch of crushed stone on the roads
in his sub-distriet, while w. S. Myers
and ]. A. Link will each put on about
LOO perches. The road supervisors Of
Shepherdstown district are all capable
men and deeply interested in their work,
and as a result we are getting splendid
roads in every direction at very moderate
cost. Turnpike Commissioner James X.
Hendricks has his force of workmen busy
also, and the turnpikes are all being put
in good shape. Jefferson county has
good reason to be proud of its progress
In road-making.
A committee appointed from among the
commissioners of the county court for the
purpose has been in Martinsburg making
an inspection of the recently remodeled
courthouse there to get ideas for use in
connection with remodeling work on the
Jefferson county courthouse. Plans are
being prepared for the construction of a
fire-proof vault for our county records,
and it is more than likely that an annex to
the courthouse will have to be built in
order to accommodate the county officials
who, under new law, are required to
have their offices in the building. Office
room has to be provided for the county
roads engineer, for the assessor, and the
county superintendent of schools. The
present courthouse is inadequate for
these new requirements. and the con-
struction of an addition to il seems really
necessary.-Advocate.

Now They Are Happy.

Now They Are Happy.
A romantic love affair eliminated in
Hagerstown early Tuesday morning,
when Frank L. Dunn, OF Martinsburg, and
Mss Marjorie Owen Adams, Of Front
Royal, Va, were united in the holy bonds
of nlatrimony. The bride, who is the
daughter Of James F. Adams, prominent
business man Of Front Royal, left her
home at 6 O'Clock Monday evening, stat
ing that she was going to visit a friend
and would return at 10 O'Clock. Instead
she went to the depot and bought tick
ct for Shenandoah Junction, where she
was met by Mr.. Dunn and they went to
the home Of Dunn's brother. At 2
O'Clock Tuesday morning the couple left
Martinsburg in an automobile belonging
to Benz. ]. Thompson, friend of the
groom, who accompanied them on the trip.
Somewhere along the road between Mar
tinsburg and Williamsport the machine
broke down and the clippers were four
hours in making the trip to the river,
reaching Williamsport about 6 O'Clock.
They boarded car at that place and
went to Hagerstown and were married.
In the meantime the brides father had
heard of his daughters flight and got in
communication with the groom's people
in Martinsburg and learned the facts of
the elopement. Mr.. Adams said he had no
objection to Mr.. Dunn, but he did not like
that way OF doing things. The couple
met at Eastern College, Front Royal,
where the groom has been a student the
past three years, and it was case. OF
love at first sight. The bride is but sew
enteen years old.

What a Woman VIII Not Do.

There is nothing a woman would not
do to regain her lost beauty. She ought
to be fully as jealous in preserving her
good looks. The herb drink called Lanes
Family Medicine or Lanes Tea is the
most efficient aid in preserving beauti-
full skin, and will do more than anything
else to restore the roses to faded cheeks.
