The tribute of tho peopla of Rich
mo mi to their distinguished citizen
und eminent divine, the Rev. Dr.
MoseB D. Ilogo, ou tho occasion of
his golden Jubilee year, was au evi?
dence of how great is tho impress
upon a community and beyond the
the .seme, of the life of a really good
man, For half a coutury Dr, Hogu
has been a faithful, eiucere, earnest
minister of God. His life has been
an open book and its pages are gold -
en in the precepts presented, dem
onstrating that a life well spent
brings sweet rewards?rewards that
as the days aud the years crowd on?
ward to a finish repay, oh, so rich?
ly, all tho trials and sorrows, tho
misgivings aud heartaches, tbe
shadows and gloom, aud the almost
darkness whioh at times appallingly
beset its roadway.
It was very appropriate that tho
people of Richmond should ir?
respective of oreed, have testified iu
the conspicuous manner they did,
their affectionate regard and esteem
for Dr, H?ge, It was a deserved
demonstration, aud it will be treas
tired as an epooh iu tbe history of
onr beautiful Capital City, Nor was
the tribnte confined to the good
people of Riohmoud. Kind messages
of congratulation came from other
cities aud other seotions of our com?
mon country, and from lauds across
the sea, from Catholic and Protes?
tant, from Jew and Gentile alike.
May many yeara yot be spared Dr.
H?ge.

In alluding to tho fact that the
General Assembly of Teuut;6Beo has
pnssed as act making an uppropria
tion for having copios made from
the Confederate records in the War
Department of the rolls of l'enuesHed
soldiers, aud of tho list of TeuneB j
seeaus who were prisoners of war,
the Riobmond Dispatch expiesses
the hope that Virginia will do like?
wise, No man, remarks our oon
temporary, now knows how many
soldiers Virginia fnrnished to the
Oonfedernoy. Virginia, it considers,
lurnished as many troops as nny
Slate did, but can't prove it. Nor
has the State records of what was
tho army rank ot this, that, or tho
?taer Virginia officer, or of the tteld
Borvico of any particular roan. Yet
all of this lufnrmat on wo may bttvo
by Bending olerks to Washiugtou to
copy tho rolls which uro on rooord
there. These rolls are original mus?
ter, iospeotion ami pay rolls, which
i wero capture! at Uicbmoud, Dau
villo uuil otbur places nt the closo of
the war. They aro not copies, but
originals.
Thb YinaiNUN thoroughly eu
dorses tho views of tho Diepatob.
It truly rouiarks that Virginia has
let nearly thirty yoara pass without
inuking any serious effort to gnther
Dp tho rolls of her Confederate sol?
diers. This should not be the cose.
The rolls aro iu existence in Wash
ingtou and aro accessible to any
ngeut or agents Virginia may ap
poiut to copy Ihoin. Tho Uouoral
Assembly, at its nest esssion, shoold
make au appropriation to have them
copied and, aftor thoy aro copiud
and brought to Richmond, arrange

Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston,
Idaho, says: "I was all run down,
weak, nervous and irritable thro'
overwork. 1 suffered from brain
fatigue, mental depression, etc. I
became so weak and nervous that
I could not sleep; would arise t ired
discouraged, blue. I begau taking
Dr. Miles' Nervine
and now everything is changed. I
sleep soundly; feel bright, active
and ambitious. I can do more in
one day now than I used to do in
a week. For this great good 1 give
Dr. Miles' Nervine the sole credit.

After one week's earnest reilection what
to do with the remainder of our WINTER
STOCK, at this advanced stage of the season, I
we find there's but one alternative to prevent \
carrying them over until next season, and
that is SELL THEM, without any considera
i tion of cost, but positively SELL THEM.
Evervbody who has ever heard of Burk
m & Co., know what we say is straight, and
|j when we say we must sell these goods we ,.
a mean it, no matter what the SACRIFICE may Egg
gj be. We shall hear the burden ol a heavy -'
ig loss rather than carry anything like a SUR*

pi In order to facilitate making rapid pro
^ gross in disposing- of our Heavy We ght
of our Heavy
Garments before the season is over we have
MADE ANOTHER CUT IN PRICES in order
to rush these goods off as rapidly as the
emergency demands.
Buyers, who study economy, and those
who seek to obtain the BEST VALUES for
their money will appreciate the LOW 6$gt
3 PRICES we've marked on goods in every
department, and will be well repaid for the Bs&i
time occupied and their trouble in making
^ an investigation of FACTS which must re- jfipaj
suit to their own interests, at least to the temp]
