Prof. R. L. Mitchell, of Alexandria, next
spoke on the Future of the Negro IN
Virginia." He emphasized the fact tha'
the colored people were part OF race
in this country numbering 7,OOO,0oo. ano
constituting more than one-sixth OF INT
entire population. So large an element
would have great weight for good or evl
in this country, and he believed it woulo

neither mixed schools nor mixed mar

that there was great future before thu

promised land.
The intervals between the addresses
we're filled, much to the satisfaction of the
audience, by readings humorous and othel
wise, by Miss A. M. Mason, a coloret
teacher from Washington City.
The choir singing during the evening
was excellent and so good that it received
the compliment of special praise from tn

Gong to Work for the Monument.

The Monument Committee of the Au-
gusta Memorial Association met on Sat
urlay and took practical step towards
building the monument over the Confed-
crate dead in Thornrose Cemetery. Ed.
s. Surber, the collecting agent, having
resigned his position and gone to Texas,
the committee exercised the best judg-
ment in selecting Capt. Thos. P. Eskridge
as his successor. Capt. Eskridge is we'll
and tavorably known all over the county,
and his fitness for the post is evidenced
by the fact that in the short time elapsing
since his election he has obtained subscrip-
tions to the monument fund of over $780,
He will not only canvass this county and
State but will go to every State whose
sons are buried in the Confederate Gene
terry here. The Monument Committee
have had several plans for the monument
submitted to them for their decision.
Capt. Eskridge will be in Staunton on
Monday next, court day, and give the peo-
pie an opportunity to subscribe to the
patriotic work. Capt. e. Julian Pratt
was elected Secretary of the Monument
Committee of the Association.

nifty by the death of Miss Mamie Grover.

makes a victim of one so young and en-
joying such perfect health, one SO unas-
Stunning and yet drawing around her the
respect and friendship of all-it is doubly
sad.
In the absence of her pastor, Rev. Mr..

Washington never made a speech.
In the zenith Of his fame he attempted
il, failed and gave !. up confused and
abashed. In framing the constitution
Of the United States, the labor was en-
tirely forgotten in committee Of
the whole Of which Washington was
chairman; he made two speeches dur

acknowledged the master spirit; and
historians affirm that, had IL not been
for his great popularity and the thirty
words Of his speech, pronouncing the
best that could be united upon, the
constitution would have been rejected
by the people. Thomas Jefferson
never made a speech. He couldn't
do it. Napolean, whose executive
ability is almost without parallel, said
that his greatest difficulty was in find
ing men Of deeds rather than words.
When asked how he maintained his
influence over his superiors in age and
