The last sad rites were paid to General Sher-
idan at Washington Saturday, when his re-
mains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Ar
iington, where lies ga vast silent army, 1G 400
strong. Their graves lie behind him, marked
by long lines of white headstones, line after
line, column after column, like regiments and
brigades at rest. Sheridans grave is still at the
front, but it is not the battlefield of life-it is
the bvouac Of the dead.'' The burial service
was very impressive.

That is what the mugwump is here for. Tell

Hon. !. {. Libby, of Burnham. was the
choice of many Of the delegates to the recent
Republican county convention for Senator all
though on account of the pressure of business
he had instructed the delegation from his town
to announce that it would be impossible for
him TO accept Of any political position. Not
with>tanding this delegates came to II. W..
Rogers. Esq, and requested that ballots for
Mr.. Libby be printed, but Mr.. Rogers had
been advised to discouEtenance any NOV ment
in this direction and accordingly did so. That
Mr.. Libby would have made a strong candidate
goes without the saying. That he will give his
hearty support to the ticket nominated in Bel
fast last Thursday no one who knows him, as
Republican and as the friend of the farmer, will
doubt. Indeed. Mr.. Libby assures his many
friends that the Republican vote of Northern
Waldo will exceed all former records, as the
farmers in his section are fully aware Of the
danger threatening them in taking off the duty
on wool. hay, lumber and potatoes, which
would bring them to the level of their poverty.

In your paper OF this date S. in reply

recollection until about 1913 or 1874. or
possibly year or more earlier or later,
the regular run of the daily stage
line was from Richmond and lynch
burg to Raines's Tavern, where the
passengers got splendid supper and a

The True Policy.
tWytheyiIIe Enterprise.

We have no patience with that cold
blooded and perfectly selfish spirit which
induces some men TO buy whatever they
may need from aliens and strangers be-
cause it costs trifle less than their
friends and neighbors can afford to fur
nish it. 1t is mistake in principle, a
blunder in business, and stab at proper
local preferences and associations.
But still we see Virginians who boast
OF their nativity and take pride in assert
ing their provincialism constantly en-
gagged in doing this very thing. No
matter how good thing may be, nor
how reasonable the price affixed thereon,
it is too often rejected simply because it
did not come from some point beyond
our State line. Our merchants go to
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York
to purchase stock Of goods that the
Lynchburg or Richmond wholesale
dealers would gladly duplicate in
both price and quality. Our farm
ers purchase their groceries, seeds,
and fertilizers from firms whose men,
bers are entirely unknown to them per
sonally, or who, if known, are not in
sympathy socially or politically with
them, rather thsn patronize some enter
prising and deserving citizens OF their
own State, who could and would sell
them the same identical articles at the
same prices paid the non-residents. The
honest work of our own mechanics and
artisans Of all kinds is sighted and pre-
ference given to the shoddy products of
some so-called cheap manufacturing es-
Enlistment in Massachusetts or Con-
necticut.
If we have anything to sell it is too
frequently the same case. The certd'a-
~ OF fairly liberal home market is re-
jected for the possibility of getting
better offer from some remote purchaser,
and even when obtained it is found most
generally that in the end we have sacri-
feed the substance to the shadow.
In the realms of fancy it may he time
that distance lends enchantment to the
view" but IN the common.sense and
commonplace laws of barter and trade
it should read, nearness lends enchant-
ment to the change.
The only true. sensible, and-we may
Justly add-patriotic policy is to encour-
age the merchants, manufacturers, and
artisans of our own vicinity and State.
Local independence cannot be reached
through any other channel, and general
prosperity and success can never be at
tanned until our Virginit people learn to
help each other-to patronize their own
friends and neighbors rather than seek
to enrich the strangers who are outside
OF our gates. We must buy and sell in
Lynchburg, Richmond, and Norfolk
rather than in Boston. Pittsburgh. or
Chicago When this is done We shall
have community OF interests and an
increase Of profits, benefiting alike all
classes and conditions-the consumer as
well as the producer, the buyer as well
as the seller.
