A short time since Cincinnati paper
stated that Major General Wheeler. of the
late Confederate army, had applied at
the station house in that city for lodging;
that he claimed to be harmless, friend
less and moueyiess; that he was on his
way to his Old home at CuIpepper Court
house Va, where he wanted to die"
and that he had walked all the way from
Ind annapolis. 1t was further said that he
graduated at West Point in the class of
81, and that his son was killed at the bat
tie of Shiloh. All the newspapers copied
this story, and although it was contradict
ted soon after, comparatively few of the
newspapers published the contradiction
The man who appeared at Cincinnati
was not the Maj. Gen. Wheeler of Cons
fsderate cavalry fame, who is not homes
less, friendless nor moneyless and if he
graduated at West Point in 1892 he must
have entered as "A student there several
years before he was born. At the time Of
the battle of Shiloh he was scarcely more

then an unmarried man, the probability

How completely do The figures of the

Allen de eat was due to the currency

Thursday says:
Since 1872 we have gained So, 600 votes
in Ohio over Presidential vote and have
reduced a Republican majority of 81 600
to OOi, in round numbers. We gave
William Allen nearly IS 900 more votes
than we gave him two years ago. We
have almosr $1,000 more friends in Ohio
than We had one year ago, one-tenth of

The Centennial.

Gen Hawley, President fthe National
Centennial Commission, Ex-Mayor Fox,
of Philadelphia, and Gen. J. T. Wilder,
of East Tennessee, made addresses tx
Nashville last Friday, We quote a few
words from Hawley's speech:
Tennessee should be we'll represented.
The whole commercial world will be there
to examine. The whole world was COM
ing to the grand Exposition-the rich and
poor of the whole land. They were COM
ing singly and in bodies. Associations
were coming; the Masons, the Odd Eel
lows, the Methodists, the Baptists, the
CUugregatinnalistS-all were coming. and
more, too. The military companies would
be there-the Louisiana Tigers and the
Charleston soldiers. Tremendous an
plause.l If Tennessee did not come, the
iron frame of JaC kson would rattlesin the
coffin.
AS he came up to the Capitol the band
was playing the Star Spangled Banner
and he thought that perhaps many there
considered that a Yankee song. II was
written by brave Southern soldier after
the repulse of British attack on a Sontb>
ern fort in a Southern city. The South
should no more give up the Star Span
gled Banner than the North would rive
up Dixie which the South had a Yam
kee to write for her. We were all mixed
up, and we must mix up more than ever
at Philadelphia next year to get STRAIGHT
again; Richard Henry Lee, a Virginian,
moved that the colonies be made free
Adams, from Massachusetts, seconded he

the Declaration, and Washington, a third

It. Could Virginia stay away from the

EnU Feeding.

The foraging season IS new over ana
the poultry will require more feed
than they did while roaming over the
farm in search of insects during the
summer months. Unless they get
liberal supply of feed now, they Will
not grow and thrive profitably. The
Young poultry have enormous appe-
tites now, and it will not do to stint
them if we wish to market them at a
profit.
They need not, and should not, have
as much grain as they will eat, or they
will soon ''eat their heads oil. A cheap
and good food for them is boiled pota'
toes mashed and mixed with sour milk
and wheat bran. This will keep them
growing finely, with little grain in
the evening.
We know not how it may be in
other sections, but in ours there is a
larger percentage than usual OF small
unmarketable potatoes this year, ow-
ing to the drouth and bugs. There
is no better way of disposing of this
sort than by boiling them and feed
ing them to the pigs and chickens
Wherever the supply is sufficient the
fowls should have all of it they can
eat.
This food will keep them growing
and thriving, and if corn meal, er corn
and oats chopped together, be substitu-
ted for the wheat bIan it will fatten
them cheaply and rapidly.

The friends of the parties killed or
injured by the collision between the
dummy engine and one of the Penn
sylvania Railroad locomotives, in
Philadelphia, have made arrangements
for bringing suit against the Company
for damages. The guardians of the
Braitsch children have put in claim
for $50, ,000, agreeing to settle for that
sum; the Company think it too much
The case will, therefore, probably be
settled only by litigation. If all Of
the injured parties ask for as heavy
compensation for injuries, the Com
pany will be brought to the conclusion
that it don't pay to employ unreliable
engineers, at any price.
