Perhaps the little bit of pleasantly
thrown out by Mr.. C. B. Rouss at the
Winchester Fair caused Gov. Beaver
to imagine the 'rebeIs" were after

federate monuments at Gettysburg.
If so he may quiet his fears. The
great New York millionaire merchant
and his fellow followers of jackson

Interested in the peaceful pursuits of
