NEOROES HONOR QEN. JACKSON.
Unveil Handsome Alcmorial Window in
Church at Roanokc.
Roanokc Va., July 29.- A handsome
memorial window of Gen. Thomas
("Stonewall") Jackson was unveiled in
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church
(negro), to-day. The window was
erected by the pastor, the Rev. I,. 1..
Downing, the money for its purchase
coining wholly from the negroes. The
exercises were largely attended by both
races, the Confederate camps of Roa
noke and Salem, and the chapters of
the Daughters of the Confederacy of
the same place being well represented.
The chief addresses were by leading
white citizens of Roanoke. Downing's
father and mother were members of a
Sunday-class of negro slave-, taught by
Jackson at Lexington before the war,
and to-day's exercises marked thejreal
I ization of an ambition Downing has
i had since boyhood to pay fitting tribute
to the Confederate commander. The
picture presented on the window is that
of an army camping on the banks of a
stream, the inscription underneath be
ing Jackr>on's last words: "Let us cross
over the river and rest in the shade of
the trees."
