BARTROLpI'g STATUE or "LIBEE
cloud of battle bsasn to roll away
from thi. then greatly stricken coun-
try. Peace began to dawn and the
first glimners Of the sun Of reconcllia-
ton WAS seen in the horizon. To-day
the people, having forsaken the fatal
errors Of the past, are striving toward
i common end of progress.
During those years what wonderful
changes have taken place! How much
has '.been accomplished Our people
look back upon the sad spring time
which saw the surrender at Appomat-
tox, upon the ruined dwellings and
desolate fields, upon the sad and
gloomy prospects then surrounding
them, and they are thrilled with feel
inGs they never expected to realize !.
In the language of one who has pass
ed through it all, over these scared
and broken hcarthstones we have
reared new homes those blood-stained
burrows now smile With gracious har-
vests; in new and fairer shlines we
have placed our lares and peuotes. We
are better people, stronger, manlier,
animated BY nobIcr purposes and
guided by clearer lights than we were
on the day We threw down our arms
and thought ourselves ensIaved.
As was to be expected, the work Of
rehabilitation WAS tardy in beginning
and its progress, for a time, was slow,
but the work of genuine and sabstan-
tial dpvei0l1nlellt once starfpl went
forward, gaining III energy and forcs,
with gratifying results, as the years
have advanced. New ideas have TAX
en-. the place of the superstitions of the
old, and the practical methods of pro-
gress are being substituted for the
routine of the ante-bellum era. 4 new
lesson has bean learned that of in
dustry, and our people have found out
that they possess vast resources which
only require tjudicions aud intelligent
utilizing to make this section rank in
prosperity with 2nr In the Union.

Capital is always first in its grief for
the Nations departed patriots. IF cos
mopoIitans fail to celebrate, no lack
Of grief Is visible The Fourth of July
1926, was day of sorrow Two Of
such events must have, iDJa measure,
cast gloom over the anniversary.
But, worse was in store. On
July 4TH, 1881,
ex-President Monroe breathed his last.
Jxmes Monroe had been out of the
White House, where he had served
from 1877 to 1925, only six years.
Memory was still green. He was the
third Of the three Yirginians and
Soatherners who had consecutiyely oc-
cupied The Presidential Chair twenty
four years Jefferson was dead, but
Madison still lived. So we might give
other instances of the Fourth being 3
day Of sorrow rather than celebration.

ed. In many counties it is reported
that there is scarcely enough for seed
and bread, is distributed, 1t will re-
quire 3,5o0,0Co bushels for seed, and l.
100000 fer bread, until September 1st.
Many farmers who expected TO hold
their grain for much higher figuges
than have yet prevailed this year sold
on the advance in january. The wealth
er since March LIST, has been very fine,
and there is considerable wheat being
sown, and much more could be il farm
ers desired to, but many think it better
to wait awhile, fearing that q hard
freeze may yet come. There will be
but little wheat marketed until after
seeding, when the farmers will sell
what little they have to spare. 1t is

The correspondence which Gov.
Pierce receives regarding his veto Of

but it is Of interestrather forthe differ
ences of views expressed than for it's
size. The city Of Boston contributes
the largest proportion OF letters, the
question being very lively issue there.
and the contents range from almost
blacsl3 uarli5m to the most cordial
thankfulness for the action which he
took. There is a lesson taught by this
variety Of expression, which is that
opinions Of those living in localities
where suffrage IS permitted are Of no
greater force than the judgment Of
