There also were in the parly General Nelson A Miles his chief a'de, Colonel Mllcher, General Joseph Wheeler, farmer Adju? tant General Buggies, who was <olonel of t.he president's old regiment during the war, and the Marine Hand. The train was met at Quantico by a reception committee from Fredericks? burg, consisting of Hon. Horace F. Crisman, Major T. P. Morris and Post? master John M Griffin, who accom? panied the Presidential party to Fre? dericksburg, where Ihey were turned over to the hospitalities of the local committee. The procession formed at the depot and beaded by the Marine Hand moved at once to the courthouse, Where th'- nubile exerclsrs wero held and an official welcome delivered by St. George H. Fitzhugh and the response was made by General Martin T. E. Mc Mahon. The oration .if the day was then delivered by General Daniel E. Sickles, who said in conclusion: SOUTH'S DEVELOPMENT. "I/et us spend a few moments, before I leave you, in a glance at the South of the future, l.et us assume that popu? lar education and the systematic sup? port of philanthropic, benevolent and educational undertakings shall have moved forward on lines not essentially different from those established in the North. In this direction; the recent edu? cational convention at Hampton, in Virginia, is a notable Incident. Popular education will quadruple the resources of the new South. The strength of the North Is found in Its schools for boys and girls of till races; they have creat? ed the most intelligent mass of work? ers in the world. Educated labor is the most inspiring resource of the new South. It will regenerate all her industries. It will double her untold reserve power. Let us assume that her demonstrated Capacity for manufactures shall keep ivace with her advance In that path dur? ing the last ten years.' Let us assume that Southern agriculture, profiting by Its recognized advantages of climate and soil, improved 'by scientific meth? ods, and expanded 'by a widened range of products already visible, shall pro? ceed in the ratio already gained since the employment of free labor began. Let us assume that Southern means of communication?roads, rivers, railways and harbors?shall be Improved accord? ing to tho requirements of her produc? tion and traffic. Let Us assume that the surplus capital of the North, always Beeking employment in profitable fields of Investment, shall be drawn to the new South iby awakened enterprise, pushed by Southern emulation of Northern success. Let us assume that your laboring population, no longer con? fined to tile African race by tradition or prejudice, shall he doubled by emigra? tion from Europe and Asia. With these reasonable assumptions, all of them jus? tified by recent experlmence, nothing is hazarded in the declaration that the "census of 1910-1920 will reveal to the world a new South, rivaling the North in all the elements of progress and power, and challenging competition In nil channels of industrial progress?In education, commerce, manufactures, mining and agriculture." Mil. FITZHUGH'S ORATION. Mr. Fltzhugh's oration was a striking (piece of oratorical work, lie paid the highest tribute to the Army of the Po? tomac and to their Confederate oppon? ents, saying that lo erase tin: names of the Spotlsylvanla batUo-flclds from the history of the American army would be to rob it of half its glory. The same blood shed on the Fredericksburg Heids, he said, still flowed in the veins of the American soldiers. Wherever the American arms might be in the future, ?whether those who bore them were ex Federals or ex-Confederates, or de? scendants of the two, they would stand Shoulder to shoulder, and their record WOUld be one that would take no lus? tre from the glory won by the Stars ?uid S rlpes on the bloody battle-fields of Virginia. President McKinley ami his cabinet Officers applauded this sentiment heart? ily, and the speaker was lustily cheered toy the audience which packed the house. The exercises at the court house were followed by a luncheon served In the opera house to the members of the so? ciety, the ladles and invited guests.

Spring Humors It doesn't mako any difference whether you believe in tho modern theory and speak of tho cause of dis? eases as referable to germs, microbes or bacilli, or whethor you use the old? er and better understood terms of "humors" and "blood diseases"? Hood's Sai-6nj).irilla cures them oil JUST THE SAME. It cures those ernptions, boils and pimples which are so likely to appear in tho Spring; cures scrofula diseases in their most tenacious forms: cures salt rheum or eczema and rolieves the itching and burning; adapts ittsolf equally well to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles duo to generally woak condition and thin, aiifcrnic blood; cures nervous troubles, which, in nine cases out of ton, exist bccan.se tlie impure blood cannot supply prop? er nervo food; cures debility and that tired feeling, which just as surely indicate that the blood is lucking in vitality and tho elements of health. This is not merely modern theory hut it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hood's Sarsaparilla has had such remarkable success along these lines that it is not too much to say it is tho best Spring Medicine, blood purifier, stomach and nerve tonic that money can buy. lire Doors aha Winfl^ws LOOK !
