While visiting her old home in Fred
erick county, Va, several weeks ago,
Mrs. Luther Boyd. OF Shenandoah
Junction. was interviewed by the ad-
ministrator Of her fathers estate, who
told her he might as we'll divide her
brothers. share Of the money, as he had
been absent thirty years and had not
been heard from for fifteen years. On
her return home she was impressed
with the fact that he must be living and
wrote several postmasters In the State
of Kansas, where she had last heard
from him. A reply from the postmas-
ter at Chautauqua, Kansas, told her
that her brother. Vim. Sirbaugh, lived
about 80 feet from him and was the
first man in the postofice every morn
ing. that he had known him since 1895,
that he was a fine fellow and quite
a prominent man in the community.

said he would like 10 own a barn full

great compliment, coming from one

by some OF the greatest breeders OF
Jerseys. We exhibited nine Majestys

Would Establish a Factory.

Representatives OF Baltimore firm
were in Shepherdstown Monday night
comforting with the Chamber OF Com
merce In regard to the establishment
here Of a branch overall factory. A
proposition was submitted and will
be considered. II is desired to employ
from 80 to 100 girls and women-a min
imum OF so would be accepted to start
with-and wages would run, it is said
from $500 to $500 weekly, depending
upon the skill Of the operators. The
chief difficulty in the way OF making
the proposition go is the problem OF
securing sufficient employees. An
effort will be made to enroll the de-
sired number.

Editor Reeister-After the lapse OF
a few years | am glad to stand once
more upon the banks of the old Po-
tomac, whose ripping waters murmur
paeon of everlasting praise 10 deeds
OF immortal honor once enacted on her
shores. am glad to be the guest OF
the good people of Shepherdstown and
the grand old county Of Jefferson,
which to my mind ought never to have
been divorced from its mother State.
The very air and aroma Of its people
! are so much akin to my own that | al
ways feel as much at home here as
there. | rejoice most Of all that am
a veteran among veterans who made
the best army that ever trod this
earth.
remember quite we'll that lust
across the river was fought one OF the
most sanguinary battles of the Civil
War, and today on its anniversary |
rejoice TO stand in the midst Of ranks
that never were or will be broken BY
the loss OF single soldier true to his
cause and his home. All the clods Of
all the valleys with all the rest breath
ing daisies Of superintendent burial
could never keep away from his roll
call single brave heart that stood for
honor on the field Of battle. Lee and
Jackson, the Johnstons, Gordon, Stew
art and all the rest are just as real as
the splendid soldier who survives to-
day. The choir that raised the rebel
yell has never lost a note, all its music
in highest register goes sounding down
the ages because it is the paeon Of
glory.
The Confederate flag was never
folded, was never weary, though the
patriot Ryan told US so, because il al
ways symboled and will always SYM
Dol immortal liberties whose fitting
home is its stars, and will float for
ever upon every heaven-kissed breeze.
| feel at home here because am the
brother Of every man who went to
glory at the bidding Of him who once
led Hoods fighting brigade in the
Wilderness Of old Virginia, and you
are my brothers who ever went to the
charge of the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia; aye, you are my brothers who
followed the CLEAN of the best, the
bluest and truest saber that ever fash
ed athwart the sky Of Mars. The bold
and fearless rider, the fiercest Paladin,
the gentlest gentleman, the man with
the nerve OF the whirlwind-whether
he kept a dainty slipper from the mud
or held the common veal of a nation
upon the couch Of his lance, the smile
OF utmost joy on his face whether he
listened to the strains of Swinney's
banjo or charged better than the six
hundred at Balaklava, let it be our own
darling Jeb Stewart.
Now after the lapse OF half a cent
ury the browning glory of all the past,
to us at least, is the realization that
the Sons Of Veterans who wore the
blue and the gray have kept the faith
of the fathers and went across the
seas and over the top in the fields
OF France and finally brought the ar
rogant Hun to his knees. God bless
our returned manned soldiers and the
rest, and keep them fit for home be-
yond the stars.
May the day soon dawn when all ma :
tions and peoples Of the earth will
erect an altar and lay not thereon the
trophies Of war but the fruits Of an
enduring peace.
An Old Confederate.

stolen the preposterous clock, and was
now on the club steps offering to set

gent on a fifty-flfty basis.

enterprising Spectator in theft when he
was confronted by two persons in one
namely, Mr.. r. II. Randolph, lessee
of Car No. 1893, and Mr.. X. II. Ran

The game ended, as do all titanic
battles, In absolute silence. Mr.. Ran
dolph sorted. stacked. tabulated his
winnings, and stuffed them into all the
pockets on his person. He then noted
the hour-eleven o'clock Of a bright
Thursday morning-and, proceeding to
the nearest telephone booth, called up
Mr.. William Verries of Verries 4 Cat,

Slim Hervey's intention to watt this
precious pair to some bOsky retreat,
cover them with leaves, and hold them
for ransom, but such was not the case.
He desired nothing from these two
potentates among a race Of lucre
giants beyond what might come to him
through his ever-open speaking slot.

Not another word, but, as It hap
pened. Il was enough to start Mr.. Ran
dolph honking uptown the moment he
had dropped his laconic fares at their
next board meeting. No one had to
tell him who Lewisfader was; he had
been TO college with that financler's
son, and II there was one thing above
all others that said offspring was good
at, 1t was blowing his fathers horn.
Lewisfader was this and Lewisfader
was that, but principally and especial
ly he was the central rock In the money

had seen the great light and grasped
his bunch beyond any thought of look

what worried him now was the amount
of ways and means in his pocket. BY
thinking very hard, he added up his
capital without bringing 1t forth to the
light Of day. The exact sum was six
ty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
No sooner had he passed the test In
