up here was one OF indescribable gor
row, accompanied with considerabl
gnashing Of teeth.
We LETT Wilmington on the steame

never more disconeolate than was thai
SAT- River crowd that cold November
morning, never to be forgotten.
VIC never found such ready and
good use for our bandannas as We
found that morning and they were
saturated with our tears. Il was a
sorry time ! tell you. In our great

Of being of one mind and heart. and al

We Just had TO pass along with our
bandannas to our eyes and never

condition better than those we used
before that memorable 9Th Of Novem.
ber You may have seen some of
them as we marched down to Fourth
street wharf TO take the boat. You
know that one OF them read, "Too
much free trade did IT," Another
said "SaCkviile West did It." Another
one said, TOO much Solid South. 50

was more truth than poetry IN the
motto that 1.-THE Texas Mills ground
