held their Memorial Day exercises
at the cemetery of New Hope Church.
This was the first time the day has

good deal larger than had been antic
ipated. The cemetery in which are
buried a score or more Confederate
dead had been splendidly cared for
and presented a beautiful appearance.
Snall Confederate flags marked the
graves of the veerar.s. The exer
cises were in the hands of the Rev.
Mr. Parkinson and consisted of sorgs,
declamations and recitations, all of
which were especially well rendeadU.
Prayer was offerred by the Rev. 1r.
Parkir.son and a paper was read by

speakers from Chester who could not
be present. The only other speaker
for the occasion was Mr. Thomas M.
Seawell editor of fthe News and Her

eulogistic lines in memory of the sol
diers of the lost cause. The speaker
made a strong plea to the young men
of today that in the present str-.gale
they acquit themselves with the same
bravery hat characterized their f:>re
fathers who wore the grey. After
this address a book and garlands of
flowers were presented to the surviv
ing veterans who were present and
the schol children placed flowers on
the graves of the dead of the Southern
