THE GAZETTE publishes communication

the author thereof rightly says, that 1t Is q
characteristic of the paper to admit the e1

radically differing from its own; but 1t con-
fesses that in doing 30 in the present in
stance it strained it5 complaisance to the
utmost limit and was almost compelled to
break its rule out of its high personal re-
gard for the correspondent t; for what Will
the intelligent reader think ola man who
eays he has "worn the grey and held MIR.
Davis's commission" who approves the &C.
ton of another man who has attempted to
put public disgrace upon the memory he
so Loyalty honors," and whose only as
signed reason for his approval is that had
the flag been lowered to halfmast the north
ern South haters, whom no amount OF for
giving and forgetting for the last quarter of
q century has succeeded in placating, and
never will, would have howled snd ragged
at the South, her cause and her loved and
venerated leader? Why. the abuse of such
men, TO those who have no apologies to
make for the part they took in the war, and
10 their sons, is better relished than their
praise would be- for by them 1t is deemed
the compliment hate end malice pay to
moral superiority.

TsAT THE failure to hold Davis memorial
services here last Wednesday, as recon
mended by the Governor aud Mayor, was
the result of misunderstanding, was de-
III onstrated at the Opera House last night
wheu every inch of available space 10 that
house was occupied by men whose tenderest
emotions we're excited by the memory OF
Mr.. Davis. and in whose hearts every EN-
blem and mourning on the walls and every
allusion made by the distinguished speakers
10 the life and character of the late Confed
eracy's only President, struck responsive
chord. Alexandria was the first city In the
South that was taken from the Confedsracy.
Judged by the evidence educed last night,
it will be one OF the last that will fail to do
honor to the memory OF the man who was
the soul of that Confederacy.

better goods for the money than
other merchants, because we are
cash buyers and cash sellers, and
cash has the call in every mar

we buy we buy direct from first
hands, from headquarters, from
the very point of production.

gone the engine started to run at terrific
speed and three large air fans, used 10
drive air through the works, revolved at
rapid rate, and the dense smoke and
