Confederate Memorial DaY.

Confederate memorial day in Shep-
herdstown was observed with interest
and propriety last Saturday. The pro-
cession, which included the thinning line
OF veterans Of the Lost Cause, marched
TO Elmwood Cemetery. where, with the
Sons OF Veterans and the Daughter of
the Confederacy, the usual impressive
service was held at the monument, led
by Rev. c. SydenStricker Then at the
speakers stand the BALANCE Of the days
pro Tdmme was carried out. The orator
of the occasion was Hon. Thomas Upton
SiSson, member of Congress from Mis-
sissippi, and seldom has an address at
this cemetery been listened to by larger
audience or with more attention. There
was an unusually large crowd present
and the hundreds OF persons gathered
around the speakers stand listened at
tentively during the hour and a-half that
Mr.. Sisson talked with them. Inspired
by the appreciation of the audience, Mr..
Mr.. SisSlon spoke earnestly and enter
tainingly concerning the Civil War, its
results, the reconstruction period, and
present day conditions. Pathos, wit,
humor and important yet little known
facts made up the substance of his ad-
dress, and he held his audience spell
bound. Mr.. Sisson paid a most elo-
quent and touching tribute TO President
Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States,
who, he said, had been made 10 bear all
the hatred and malice and vengeance OF
his enemies and who was the only man
who was never forgiven by the govern
ment of the United States. The address
of Mr.. Sission was not only one that en-
tertained the people-the facts that he
presented and the tribute he paid South
ern heroes will long be remembered.
A pleasing feature OF the exercises was
the especially good music OF the choir
composed of our local singers.
