Large Gatherings at the Cemeteries,
. Where the GravesiJWere Profusely

Closing Exercises Held.
It is certainly the wish of all honest
and peace loving people In this country
that feelings of political enmity, con
nected with the war, be entirely wiped
out, and no better way to harmonize nil
past differences could be conceived than
the general observance of Decoration Day.
Each succeeding year finds the people
more ready and more willing to strew
flowers upon tho sod which covers the
bosoms of our fallen braves. Shenan
doah never saw a more attractive proces
sion than that which marched to the
cemetery this morning to do homage to
the virtues of the soldiers who left their
homes never to return, in order that this
country might remain a nation for all
time to come. It is pleasant to contem
plate the fact that in our busy American
life we can stop and give one day In each
of the few fleeting years of our sojourn
ment here to the remembrance of those
who died fighting for their homes and for
national liberty. The committee of
Wntkin Waters Post, Grand Army of the
Republic, who attended to the details
connected with a proper observance of
Decoration Day, did their work well this
year. . They must have spent a great deal
of their time in planning for so complete a
realization of their hopes. The observ
ance indicates that ns a national holiday
it still stands ns prominently as any in
the calendar. It Is right that it should
be so. All the collieries are idle and con
sequently the streets present a bright and
animated appearance. The societies that
responded favorably to the call for the
parade were on hand at the appointed
hour decorated with their many colored
regalia and the procession moved in the
following order :

The procession moved in Its entirety
along East Oak, White, Coal, Jnrdln,
West Oak, Chestnut, Cherry and Main
streets, and theu up to the cemetery and
presented a handsome appearance. Wat'
kin Wnters Post turned out strong in
proportion to the surviving members.
The "vets" knew how to keep time while
marching and tho music from the bands
no doubt stirred the blood in their veins,
reviving memories of the days when they
marched to the tune of "John Brown's
body lies a mouldering In the grave."
Several people in line carried fragrant
flowers intended for those who sleep side
by side, covered with scars, received on
the battle field. The P, O. S. of A. aud
Jr. O. U. A. M. threw their colors to the
breeze, and no doubt felt proud of the
honor of participating in the ceremonies
on such a hallowed occasion. The the
laddies looked handsome and fresh.
The procession Anally reached the I. O,
O. F. cemetery, where the ceremonies
Incident to strewing the graves witu
flowers took place. The soldiers' monu
ment was encircled by the spectators.
Inside assembled thoie who were more
immediately .connected with .the ceraaio
nles. Several members of the Post went
forward and deposited wreaths of flowers
on the soldiers' graves. The oration of
the day was delivered by Rev. J. F.
Meredith, pastor of the Methodist Episco
pal church. Every word that fell from
his. Hps was alive with the spirit of
patriotism and was uttered in honor of
those who were slain in freedom's battle.

STILL UNVANQUISHED.
The Spartans Show the Students Tricks.
on the Diamond.
A very interesting game of base ball
(overlooking the errors) was played at the
Trotting park yesterday between the
Spartans and the Students nud the former
were victorious. The Students are young
men who have made n study ot base ball
at the various colleges of the countey
and have had the benefit of points from "
players who have led the Yale, Princeton,
Harvard and such college teams to victory..
The Spartans are worklngmen who are
busy every day earning their livelihood at
desks, behind counters, at weigh Bcales
and in other positions of arduous labor
and have been obliged to glean what
they know about the national game
during the limited hours intervening
between the expiration of their working
time and nightfall. They have not had
the advantages of college training which
their opponents of yesterday enjoyed, yet
they have successfully competed with all
comers and remain the unvanquished
champions.
The score was a close one and tb
Spartans had to hustle to retain their
championship, but they say that had they
deemed it necessary a different complex
ion could havo been put on the game.
There were times when they played quite
yellow, more to spare the ambitious
Students a humiliating defeat than any
thing else, and the champions say that if
the brainy young again venture to assert
their superiority they will be snowed
under.
