TappahannocK.Wedneaday, August 25, will be re-

membered and recorded as a red-letterday in the history of this Rappahannocksection. for, possibly without exception,the most interesting event of our timeoccurred at Tappahannock, when thehandaome granite shaft, surmountedwith a heroic figure of the Confederateprivate, was unveiled to the admiringgaze of four thousand onlookera.

people driving from the aurroundingcounties when the acreams of ateamlaunches began to be heard and throngsbegan pouring in from down the river.About 9:30 a. m. the "CommodoreMaury" arrived, having on board Gen.C. C. Vaughan, Major C. L. Wrightand Major Waring, of Norfolk, andCompany B., Captain Gale, command-ing; ;also Mrs. J. Griff Edwarda andfifteen of her uniformed choir girls, theMorattico band, and many other ladiesand gentlemen. The appearance of thesoldiers in khaki uniform, marching upthe street and drilling, was greetedwith cheers, to be graced a momentlater by the doffing of all hata to thachoir in grey.A cannon and caisson had been sent

from Norfolk, accompanied by Lieuten-ant Shaw and a detail of five men.At 11 a. m., a boom from this gun,which shattered windows near by, theveterans fell into line. followed by theConfederate choir, the militia and the.artillery, and marched to the shaft infront of the courthouse; then to thestand behind the courthouse, fromwhich Hon. J. N. Stubbs, the eloquentveteran, and Judge T. R. B. Wright, inbecoming modesty, addressed thepeople. Hon. Wm. Campbell was direc-tor of ceremoniea. Between talks thechoir ladies' sang Bonnie Blue Flag andTenting Tonight. At thia juncture ahand aome gold-headed cane was pre-sented Commander T. R. B. Wrightby his camp, comintr aa a surpriae.About 1 p. m. all asaembled around

the shaft, and as the veil waa pulleda volley went up from the ruatygunaofthe old vets. followed by a regular rat-tle of rifle in salute from the military,21 guns from the great cannon and asalute from the Hotchkiss of the Com¬modore Maury down at the pier. Mrs.Edwards led olf with her choir in theaoul-atirring strains of Dixie. TheMorattico band also struck up Dixie.After dinner, which was served gratis

on the green, a number of addresseawere made, among the speakers beingGovernor Noel, of Miaaissippi, ex Gov-ernor Montague and Congresaman Jones.The afttrnoon waa warm and the crowdknocked around for shade and cooldrinks and many a handshake renewedacquaintance after the lapse of years.The succesa andenjoyment of a gloriousday was topped off at night by a hall inthe town hall.

SWANSON'S FUTURE.Governor Swanson will soon have to

atep down and out and the politicalprophets are busy guessing what hewill do. He ia too young a man to es-chew politics, indeed politics has beenhis meat and bread for the last twelveor more years. The Jamestown exhi-bilion and other public functious hasgiven him rare opivortunities to appearbefore the public, he has not failed toavail himaelf of these opportunities.He is a tluent speaker and as such hasbeen frequently in demand and has ac-

quitted himself well on all public occa-sions. It ia reasonable to suppose thathe will not long remain in retirementbut may feel conatrained to try to save

the Fifth district to the democruts whichwas nearly lost by Judge Saunders.Bedford Democrat.
