VOL. XI., NO. 127. SISTEESVILLE, W. VA., WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY. 31, 1905. PBICE, ONE CENT.
MEMORIAL DAY FIT
TINGLY OBSERVED
ftiness was generally suspen
in this city Memorial Day and
classes of people enjoyed the
rest ami recreation. It is doubt
I there has been a similar oc
loi) in a generotion that was]
generally observed in Sisters
lc as the Memorial Day of ves-!
Ferday. But few of the small
tlnces of busines were open at
!! during the entire day, and all
he general stores, banks, oil ex
change and many of the machine
Whops and other industries were
.Iciosed all during the day. The
j !09t office observed the usual holi
day hours, and the clerical force
liad the greater portion of the day
for rest and recreation..
Memorial Day, set aside as a
day on which the nation may hon-j
or its defenders who have entered
into the eternal sleep, but owing
to the fact of its being a holiday
many people took advantage of
the occasion yesterday and enjoy- j
W an outing or a private picnic.
. ?n various parts of the country. I
i7he leading event of the day was
f^Vdec orating with flowers of the
at Oakwood cemetery of
wJfr graves of departed heroes.
TOarly in the morning children and
Adults were to be seen upon the
fitret* going hither and thither
ith baskets and beautiful bou
ets of flowers, most of them di
ting their footsteps toward the
dquarters of A. D. Work Post
A. R., on Brown Betty St ret.
ere great heaps of flowers were
tyirnered to be taken to Oakwood
?meterv in the afternoon, where
he main services of the day were j
eld.
K The parade formed on lirown
'Setty street promptly at 1 :30 p. j
\a.. and headed by Prof. Kejrer's
[Military Hand, which consisted of
forty members, marched west on
hharles street t?? Wells street, j
whence np Wells to the cemetery. 1
immediately in the rear of the!
'?and came the members of the |
i\
Grand Army of the Republic,
Company A acting as an escort
to the old veterans. Next and
last in the procession came the
members of the I. 0. 0. F. order.
Rev. Kelly, pastor of the Baptist
church of this city, couducted the
ceremonies at the cemetery, which
were of a very solemn narturel
Each and every dead heroe's grave
in the cemetery was strewn with
beautiful flowers. Many private
graves were also decorated with a
handsome bouquet of flowers by
relatives and friends. At the con
clusion of the services at the ceme
tery the beautiful burial ground
had ever}' appearance of a real
flower garden in full bloom.
The programe previously arran
ged by the G.A. R. veterans was
carried out to the letter. The pa
rade w;t.? a highly ere litnbio one.
the music rendered by Prof. Rog
er's Military l-tand was highly ap
propriate. and very much enjoyed !
by all.
The decoration of places of busi
nes and private residences in all
sections of th? i?ty Memorial Day
were highly commendable to the
people of SistersvlMe. On most
every business house and private
residence Old Glory could be seen
floating to the breeze. The City
Building, however, did not have
the stars and stripes hoisted dur
ing Memorial Day. The absence
of the flag from the city's seat of
government, was of course, an
oversight. Taken all, in all, the
celebration of Memorial Day 1905,
in Sistersville, will long be remem
bered by those who participated
in the ceremonies, with pleasant
recollections. The day was show
ery, but jus*t after the noon hour
the sky cleared for a time, and the
sun came out bright. The inclem
ent weather, however, which pre
vailed most all day, naturally kept
many strangers away from the
city. Numerous showers of rain
fell during the day and evening.

ordinary efforts are being taken

except the reactionary press, in
light of what is known, say Rus
sia has had enough of the war and
urge peace.
The papers take the gfound that
the Beureaucratic way and not
the nation has suffered defeat. In
government circles, the most amaz

either to their villages or specta
tors at the theatres.

brought to bear upon Russia will
seek to have Washington selected

gotiations.

The Tradesman's review of new
industries established in jthe {
southern states for the week end
ing to-day is herewith presented,
showing the new concerns that |
have embarked upon the sea of
trade, and their apportionment to
the several states. In spite of the
fact that the summer season ap
proaches, usually indicative of a!
cessation of strenuous activities,
the list is quite a lengthy one.
and many of the miscellaneous
new industsrie are not listed. The j
importanee of those given in thoj
list may be appreciated by a
glance at the amount of capitali
zation, running from $:H)0,000 to
smaller figures, a larire propor
tion being: over the .$100, 000 mark.
A striking feature of the list in
the variety of new industries nnd
tlu'ir peeuliar adaption to the lo
calities from which they are re
ported. Oil, lumber, coal and iron
come in for a large part of the
fresh development, and a number
of notably important investment
companies are in the list.
Following is a list of new indus
tries for West Virginia.
Clarksburg ?$50,000 gas and
carbon company.
Williamson? 4*25,000 land com
pany.
Gauley Bridge ? $.">0,000 coal
mining company.
Grafton ? $25,000 COal mining

Benjamin Xavlor, died about mid

She was 65 years of age and had
been siek for some months, but
her ailment only increased in vio
lence near the end.
Mrs. Nailer was born in Xew
York State. Imt had been a resi

years. She was a member of the
Presbyterian church, and an ac
tive worker in the W. (\ T. I'.

of right ami truth.
Mrs. Xavlor leoves besides her
husband. throe brothers and three
sisters residing iu various sections
of the country.
Short funeral services were held
at her late residence on Ilenton
street, on Monday evening at 5
o'clock, conducted by her pastor,
Kev. T. A. Anderson.
The hody. accompanied by her
husband and friends was taken

V., where it will be laid to rest."
Thus another home is broken
and our sympathy goes out to the
bereaved, but with the assurance
that "All is well, and the Lord
does what is best."
Windjammers Win Initial
Game Of The Season
Yesterday some young men from
Ben wood W. Va., who had an idea
that they knew how to play ball,
eame to this city and appeared on
t he local diamond all triced up
in beautiful dark blue base ball
suits, and they certainly did look
fine. Living only four miles south
of the metropolis of West Virgin
ia. they had formed an idea in
their era ni urns that they were real
base ball players and then have
a great deal of pleasure defeat
ing the 44 yaps," of Sistersville.
That, however, was before the
game was played. Later on- they
could walk just like ordinary peo
ple. The color of those dark blue
suits changed to a ghastly black.
I Tli.* score was 5 f? ?r the would
:l>e Hen wood exports, to 15 for the
J Windjammers, of this city. The
score would have been larger hut
?our home hovs pot weary of run
ning around and around. .The
principal amusement the camp af
forded was to watch the hoys slip
and slide around after the rain
storm. The crowd was a very
( large one eonsi.lerintjHhe fact that
a heavy rain storm came up just
as the game was called and con
tinued to rain until after five
o'clock in the evening. Saturday,
| we understand the "Bloomer
Oirls" will cross hats with the
Windjamers on the local hall
I grounds.
