It is a duty incumbent upon Christ?

where their dead are buried. The old J
portion of the east end cemetery is not i
in proper condition. It is overgrown with '
\ weeds, briars and all kinds of plants.
Steps should be taken to put it in proper !
condition. Several gentlemen have an?
nounced their willingness to subscribe
liberally to a fund for that purpose. Let
those who have friends buried in the
cemetery see that it is put in order
and kept iu that condition.

A Splendid Show by CJeyer Circus People
in the Largest Tent oh Earth.
The Wallace circus is decidedly more
satisfying in an amusement sense than the
Syndicate show which recently visited this
city, and is also much more extensive. A
completely equipped menagerie, new
tents, new animal cages, ami well cared
lor stock add to its attractiveness. The
show carries oOU horses, and has a force
of 800 people. The latter, with the ex?
ception ol the performers practically live
on the grounds, sleeping tents, dining
tents, and the best of accommodations
being provided. The main tent, with a
seating capacity of nearly 12,000, is one
of the largest tents ever brought here fo
a circus. The usual parade without which
any circu? is incomplete, occurred at noon
to-day, aud was witnessed by thousands
on the crowd-lined sidewalks. The parade
was much more interesting than is usually
offered by rircus managers, and an
evidence of promising things to occur
under the big tent.?Denver Times.

The meeting was organized by selecting

meet separately and each meeting report
to tie mass meeting tome gentleman as its
choice to be voted for by the meeting for
nomination as the candidate of the party
for the House of Delegates, also to select
delegates to the Senatorial and State con?
ventions, to select members of the county
committees, etc.
The committee on resolutions reported
the following which was adopted unani?
mously:
'' We.the Kepu! ?licans of Tazewell county,
in mass meeting assembled, do hereby
proclaim our unalterable devotion to and
confidence in the principles of the national
Republican party, and express our hearty
approval of the administration of President
McKinley and the course pursued by our
Congressman, Gen. Jas. A. Walker. But
believing the real issue is whether or not
we shall have fair elections in Virginia, we
hereby pledge oureelves to use ail honora?
ble means in our power to have such laws
enacted for the preservation of this the
most sacred right of citizenship and f-o on
forced as that confidence in the ballot box
may be restored.
"Resolved further, That we favor the
holding of a State convention, to nominate
a State ticket.
"Resolved further, That we are in favor
of such legislation as will secure better
roads for our county and State."

and W. W. Brennaman were selected by
their respective diytriate as members of the

Bailey as its choice to be brought before the
mass meeting for nomination for the House
of Delegates, Jeffersonville district reported
j in favor of J. S. Moss and Clear Fork dis
J trici. for W. B. Spratt.
Jt was deemed best for the citizens of
the three districts to meet again separately
and report, Thifi was done, reports were
made and they retired a third time. The
third tinro Maiden Spring and Clear Fork
districts reported in favor of W. B; Spratf
and Jeffersonville district for Shields Harr
man. There was a good deal of contention
as to how the question should be settled as
to-the manner of determining between
these two gentlemen. Mr. Spratt settled
it by coming forward and saying that he
wanted the thing settled by a majority
vote of the mass meeting. On motion the
chairman directed the vote to be so taken,
and those favorable to Spratt were requested
to gather on the west side of the court
room and those for Harman on the east
side. It was soon apparent that a majority
of those present were for Spratt, and Mr.
Jos. Gillespie moved that Spratt be nomi?
nated by acclamation, which was done.
Mr. Spratt was called for and in a short,
neat epeach accepted the nomination,
pledging that he would do all in his power
to make a successful fight for his parly and
calling upon all the Republicans of the
county to fetend faithfully for him in the
fight.
On motion the meeting, which at one
time promised to be a stormy one, ad?
journed in peace and harmony.

was witnessed by thousands of people.
The parade was a mile in length and the
usual stringing-out was not indulged in. It

A reception supper was given at the

MUST REPEL INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE
On Such a Declaration National Dem?

The platform is a political anachronism
which relates more to nntional issues of
180(1 than to the vital questions of Virginia
State policy in 1S'.>7 and the four succeed
j ing years. It preaches a gospel of dis
I content and despair which is in onoma
I lous contrast with the inspiring and hope
[ fill signs of reviving prosperity all about us.
j It deals with no great question of industrial
! growth and progress in the State at a time
when other States are alert
to the advancement of thes.> interests,
subordinating partisan and sectional con?
siderations to them. It is a platform which
must repel from Virginia Immigration and
industrial enterprise,and upon which the
national Democracy will never regain con?
trol of the federal government. The Repub?
licans need ask no belter guarantee of their
continuence in power than the. adoption of
such a platform by the national Democracy

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as a
private in Company A, 107th Pennsylva- tariff
nia Volunteers, I contracted chronic diar?
rhoea. It has given me a great deal of
trouble ever since. I have tried a doz>;n
different medicines and several prominent
doctors without any pel manent relief. Not
long ago a friend sent me a sample bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar?
rhoea Remedy, and after that I bought and
took a 50-cent bottle; and now I can say
that I am entirely cured. I cannot be
thankful enough to you for this great rem- : is pitiful to
edy, and recommend it to all suffering vet?
erans. If in doubt wiite me. Yours

J. Hi, Gill!'.?tie
T. A. McGuire, }? Com
S. H. L.ukd,
What will the gold Democrats in Vir?
ginia do? Will they swallow the Chicago
dose which the Roanoke convention has
made even more nauseating or will they
refuse it? The Richmond Times declines
to swallow.
Not a word in the Roanoke platform
about honest elections in Virginia. The
Democrats don't want them.
Tue Virginia Democratic Convention
has ratified the doctrines of Altgeld and
Till man as enunciated in the Chicago
platform.
Ocr Democratic friends are very much
inclined to treat the "General" rudely.
They have expressed great anxiety for his
arrival, but as he approaches they turn
their heads and refuse to speak to him
They say Providence has sent prosperity
and they don't seem to want it that way.
The so-called Democracy wishes to force
the fight again on a debased currency, low
and socialistic doctrines. Why
should the Republicans of Virginia fail to
confront them at every point?
A great many men in Virginia will sup
port the Roanoke ticket and platform
under constraint. They are heartily op
posed to the popocratic principles, but for
business reasons are afraid to make their
opposition known. The political coward
behold. Some Democratic
; papers in the State are in that condition.
The Cuban insurgents seem to be having
their own way again. The threatened
revolution in Spain will be of great assis?
tance to them, and it is to be hoped that
they will soon be able to throw of the
[ Spanish yoke.
Tyler, Echols and Montague make a
J ticket that will sweep the State by one of
the late Senator Barbour's majorities.?
Alexandria Gazette.
And by one of Taylor Kllyson's majori?
ties the Democrats think. Those majori?
ties are obtained in the same way, by
manipulation of the ballots.
It looks very much like Senator Stewart
of Nevada is preparing to leave the ranks.
He has been one of the most intense sup?
porters of the Populist delusion. In a re?
cent interview he gave utterance to the
following views:
"There is no room for pessimism ic. ? this
country No one can be a'bear' in the |
face of the wheat famine in Argentina,
Russia, Hungary, and India. In view of I
this condition abroad, I should not be sur?
prised to see silver sell as low ae 25 cents I
and wheat as high as $1. There is nothing |
in talking silver at the present time and my
fall
advice to my friends in the West is to fall
into line with the forces of prosperity and
De sent to the iazewell j progress, and receive their due share of the
ml V1"!1.- i!tyf-?th! 1 regard. The time has paesed for the old
issues. We must turn to face new issues
and new conditions."
Boise, Coxey, Debs and Stewart have |
deserted the Populists. Who next ?
