AGnllsnt Son Of Virginia.

The reader viii 6ud below article taken from Har-
pcrs Weekly relative to brave officer, worthy gentle
man, and true son Of the Old Dominion. 1t has been
the fortune of Col Cooke to win his way upwards in the
service Of hi. country by the toll rather than the glory
of soldiers life Since 1921 he has been in the army
and almost always on active and ofentimes most arduous
duty Throughout this long period he has borne him
self with that iufeSbe courage that skill andEpatience
which we seldom look for and find apart from the
modest gentleman We heartily concur with neigh
Dor of the dsz" in hoping that Col Cooke will receive
at the hands OF his native State some suitable testimonial
OF his gallant and efficient services through long militia
~ career At time like the present it is eminently fit
that Virginia should recognize the gaantry of her sons
and secure to herself the love and duty of every veteran
oser whose birthplace is and whose birh-right in
her soil, now and heucefoyh to be guarded jealousy
from the polutiag footsteps of the invader;

The Louisville journal peruenty and lorcbly remarks

of "a signcr of the Declaration Of independence and

Northern men OF their political stripe who repre-

party is always ueacherous Southern interests, and
faithful to nothing but its own selfinierest.

the cheat of the day instead of catching by chance
