To-day, the subscription list will be
presented by responsible gentlemen, to our
citizens generally. 1t is earnestly desired
that all our people shall take stock, no mat
ter if it be but one share. 1t is the first
thing that has ever been started that has a
department in which the honest working
girls of Staunton have chance to earn a
living. 1t is but duty the community
owes that class Of it, to help this enterprise
along. 1t is the first, too, that has been
started in which the Industrious boys Of the
city will have an opening for work.
The profit of such a manufacture is too
well conceded to be argued. The million
aires Of New England were made such by
shoe factories, and the Savings Banks of New
England are filled with the earnings of The
working men and women employed i'll shoe
factories.
The business names at the head Of the
enterprise in Staunton are enough to give
our people a guarantee that it is one OF
solid merit, and will be advantageous tc
both the city and the stockholders.
Let our people rally to the support of this
the second Of our home industries as they did
to the Furniture Factory, the work whis-
tie of which will soon wake them from
their slumbers.

On Monday last, Mr.. 7. II. Sickles of
Philadelphia, who has had a lifelong expe-
rience as manager of shoe factories, visited
a special meeting of the Staunton I'm
proyement Company Directors, and laid
before them his plan for starting and ope-
rating shoe factory here. He also gave
satisfactory evidence Of his responsibility.
The following is the plan:
To start shoe factory here which will
employ 100 hands, of whom 40 would be
girls on upper-stitching, so would be men
and boys, and 10 would be expert workmen,
foremen, &c.
The output to be from $4,000 to 900
worth of goods per annum, and the market
for them to be found in the Valley, the
South and the Southwest.
The subscriptions to beput at $25 a shale
and the capital to be $4,000. The machi-
merry for the work to cost $4,000.
The meeting heard from Mr.. Sickles full
and satisfactory setting forth of the plans
He said that in addition to himself, his
wife and daughter and a young man Of the
family, were all experts in shoe factory
work. With the exception of about 10
expert hands, who will be brought here, all

Of ministers-Rey. Francis Mcfarland,
who was pastor for 43 years, lies there with
his wife; Rev. David c. Humphreys, son of
Samuel L. Humphreys, and Rev. Eusebias
Logan, son of John Logan. The two last
named died soon after they were licensed
by Lexington Presbytery. Sixteen Elders
of the church also lie buried there. Another
grave is that of the wife of Rev. Mr.. Lam
beth Of the NJ. E. Church, South.
The ground on which the graveyard is
located was bought from Waddell and wife
with the understanding that there was to
be no graveyard put thereon, and there was
none until 1905, when DR.. McPheeters
wife died. Dr.. McP. applied to Mr.. Jacob
Bumgardner and wife (Mrs. Bumgardner
being a daughter Of MI. Waddell) for their
consent to bury her there. They gave their
consent and the first graves were those of Dr.

next interment there was that of Miss Jane
Douglas who came from Pennsylvania.

tachment OF Hoods forces coming towards
him. The crest Of q hill was l o ween
them. Harrison saw instantly that IL would
not do TO wait ana receive this attack AT the
foot of the hill. Without an order he as
sumed the responsibility OF charging his
reserves up the hill 10 meet the rebels half
way. This was done with So much impetu-
osity and courage that the rebels were
sharply repulsed. 10 was for this that
Gen. Joe Hooker roared out 10 Harrison,
after II was over. "By G., sir, / will have
you made brigadier general for this" Gen.
Harrison was elected court reporter OF
Indiana while he was In the army,
but did not leave the service
until the war was over. After peaf 0
had been declared he resumed practice
Of the law, and In 1875 was the republican
nominee for governor Of Indiana, but was
defeated by 'Blue Jeans" Williams, al
though he polled 1000 more than the aver
age Of bis ticket In 1880, a. usual, be
took an active part IN the campaign, and
when II was found the republicans had
carried the legislature he became at once
the leading candidate for United States
senator. His nomination was plainly fore
shadowed before the legislature convened,
and before the caucus met all other names
had been withdrawn. During Gen. Harri-
sons service OF six years In the senate he
grew rapidly In public estimation and
proved himself fully equal TO the require
ments of the place and the expectation OF
his friends. His Dakota report and
speeches, and his speech on the Edmunds
resolution regarding civil service reform In
general and on the presidents appoint
ments In Indiana, are especially remem-
bered.
His senatorial term expired March 4,
1857, and the legislature 10 choose his sue
cessor was 10 be elected ln the fall of 1885.
The history Of that campaign is still fresh
In the public mind. 1t was In large de
gree Gen. Harrison's campaign. The re-
suit attested Gen. Harrison's wisdom and
his work. The republicans carried the
state and came within hairs breadth OF
carrying the legislature.
With the expiration OF bis senatorial
term Gen. Harrison returned 10 the prac-
tlce OF his profession. He Is preeminently
q lawyer. Politics is side Issue with him,
but when he practices politics be practices

politics was as delegate tO the republican
national convention which nominated John
@. Fremont for the presidency. In 1855
Two years later be was elected 10 the
lower branch Of the Maine legislature, OF
which he remained a member for six years,
and the last term was speaker. He was
for twenty consecutive years chairman Of
the state republican committee. In 1862
Mr.. Blaine was elected 10 the national
house OF representatives, In which capacity
he served until 1876, when be was appoint
ed senator to succeed Mr.. Morrill,. who had
resigned 10 accept the secretaryship OF the
treasury. At the republican national con
ventIon OF 1876 Mr.. Blaine was a strong
candidate for the presidential nomination,
which finally went 10 Rutherford Is. Hayes.
In congress Mr.. Blaine was an advocate
OF bi metallic currency and used bis utmost
endeavors 10 secure subsidies for American
ocean steamship lines, especially those
running 10 South American ports. When
the Chinese question came up In 1879 he
declared In favor OF exclusion. The ma
