The Roanoke World of November 26th. says
of the performance
Little Nugget" as rendered last night by the
Cawthorn Brothers, was undoubtedly the
best play OF the comic character ever seen on
the Roanoke stage. The house was not as
crowded as 1t would have been had the people
only known what a lightful, funny, side
splitting play would be rende9 ed 1t was such

propriety, carry a lady. for assuredly there was
nothing last night that could have invoked the
censure OF the most fastidious. The two come
dams, H j. Cawtnorn. brought down the
mouse often by the able rendition of their
parts. Undoubtedly they are two of the best
comedians who have ever visited our city.
Miss Gilmore, as Little Nugget" played her
part to perfection. She was just the mage of
4 merry, fun-loving mischievous lassie."

Cupid's Climax.
"she Is mine own;

"She Is mine own;
And as rich in having such Jewel
AS twenty seas If all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
1t was our privilege, yesterday afternoon,
to witness one of the most interesting So
cial events that has occurred in our qnies,
little town for many day, it being the oc.
casion of the marriage of Miss Callie, eldest
daughter of our townsman, Major John w.
Harris, to Mr.. VIM. b. Parrish, of Rich
mond, Va. The residence of Major Harris
was brilliantly lighted for the occasion and
many of the relatives and friends of the
contracting parties we're present to witness
the ceremony. Promptly at 5 O'Clock the
bridal party entered the parlor to the music
of the wedding march, rendered by Miss
Baillie, and was formed In graceful position
within the space enclosed by the white rib
bons held by the two little sisters of the
bride. Rev. r, l.. Telford performed the
ceremony, using the Episcopal form, the
bride and groom standing undera large and
beautiful floral bell.
The attendants were Misses Mary Csld
well and Adde Austin, Dora Mcpherson
and Halle Patton, Christie Mauzy and Ruth
Mason. and Mae Best and Joe Mathews,
with Miss Minnie Austin as maid Of honor
and Mr.. Geo. Gibson az best man.
The bride was beautifully attired Ia a
handsome white brocaded silk en- train Nth
tulle veil pinned with natural flowers, and
carried in her hand q magnificent bouquet
of Nephesos roses. The groom wore full
dress suit. He was evidently proud of his
fair young bride and happy in the realiza-
ton of loves young dream.
After the usual congratulations, among
which were a number of congrstulatory
kilograms from friends of the groom in
Richmond, the dining-rooms were thrown
open and all partook of a sumptuous re-
past. The bridal presents were numerous
and unusually costly and handsome-many
of them coming from friends 10 Richmond.
At O'Clock Mr.. Parrish left with his bride
for Ronceverte where they took the train
for an extended bridal tour to New York,
and other Northern cities. He was accom-
panied here by his friends, Messrs. George
Gibson, Walter Scott, George Cunningham
and his brother, Kirk Parrish, all of Rich
mond.

On Friday, in the United States Senate,
Mr.. Dolph, Of Oregon, having charged that
certain States denied the right of free suf-
frage to some of their acknowledgements,
to-Wit-Mr. Vest, of Missouri, proceeded to
read documentary evidence showing that in
Mr.. Dolph's own State negroes were denied
the right to work upon a bridget Can
ning's knife-grinder is at once recalled to
mind by these facts. What cares negro
for the right to vose-in State where he is
not allowed the right to work? 1t is worse
than a Barmecide feast, to be invited to
vote and at the same time scourged from
the workshop. Oregon will soon have no
negroes within her borders if she persists
in denying to them the right to earn an
honest living. When will these Republican
hypocrites let the South aloue?-Richmond

of Staunton members of the Board of Directors.
There were also other parties who were stock
holders. The business was opened in rooms
over Wayts Drug Store. 1t appears that the
officers, other than Mr. Howard, had very lit
tie II anything to do with the business. Last
Monday, the 18th. was appointed for a stock
holders meeting. When q number of them
repaired to the Office they found a card on the
door informing them that the meeting had
been postponed till 18th January. In the NEAR.
time. a note from Mr. Howard to some, and
perhans all the Directors, Informed them that
their designations as such were desired.
The persons who called at the office were not
satisfied with the matters as:Mr. Howard had
arranged them, and before leaving the prem
ises discovered him within an adjoining
room with the door locked, denying them ad
mittance and refusing to discuss the affairs of
the Exchange Mr.. Howard finally came out,
locked the door after him, and passed out to
the street. The room was then forcIbly enter

papers accessible to them. They had Howard
arrested, and the case came up before the May

SENATOR CAMERON AGAINST THE FORCE
BILL.-The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Herald, under date Of Dec. 10th,
says
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, is re-
ported as saying to friend to-day:-'I will
vote against the Election bill whatever form
it may assume. am opposed to it in pfin-
ciple and in it's details. The South is now
resuming a quiet condition. Northern
capital has been fowiDg into the South in
great quantities; manufacturing establish
ments have been created and are now in
full operation and a community OF CONNER
cial interests is fast celebrating sectional
lines and will finally result, in tho not far
distant future, in forming one honogene
GUS mass of people, whether being in the
North, South, East or West. The Eiec-
ton law would disturb this desirable condi-
ton and produce ill-feeling between the
North and South. / am, therefore, oppos
ed to the bill, and shall assert ny indepen-
dence as Senator and cast my vote against
the measure"
am told by several Senators that Presi-
dent Harrison has taken it upon himself to
send for those republican Senators who are
supposed to be Weakened on the radical
proposition of the Force bill, and has used
his personal influence with those gentlemen
to streogthen their loyalty to the Force bill.
"One million people are holding up their
hands appsalingly for that bill" said the
President to gronp of Senator'S what

1t DOESN'T ADVANCE WAeEs.-The new
tariff put duties high on eatheE ware,
inseed oil, steel, iron, thread, wool and
woolens in order, it was said, to enable
employers in these industries to increase
wages. Prices have been increased, but
not wages. The Sun OF yesterday had dis
patches from many points indicating that
instead of being put up, wages are being
put down. The pottery bosses at Trenton,
for example, have given their employees
notice that wages will be reduced. Inc
American paint works at Fall River,
Massachusetts, will shut down for an in
definite period. The Oliver Iron and Steel
Mills of Pittsburg, Pa, we're closed yester.
day morning, throwing 5000 hands out of
employment, and the same number of hands
went on strike Wednesday at the Clark

What do these mishaps in Industries rely

The PURPOSE OF THE FORCE BILL
Senator Berry, in opposition to tho Force
Bill, made a speech in the Senate on Tues
day, the 9th instant, which, after showing
it's partisan character aud how corruptly it
would be used, concluded as follows:-
"He was slow to believe that q majority
of Senators who purported to be fair and
honest would vote for the passage of such
partisan measure. He entered his earnest
protes. against it as being bill not to
secure absolutely fair elections, but to
legalize fraud, and to euable men to be
counted and returned to Congress who we're
defeated at the polls"
The two main purposes of its advocates
are to rob the South CT its representation by
fraud, aud to paralyzs its industries.

Judge Thurman and the Farmers Alliance


In recent interview in reference to the
Farmers Alliance, Judge Thurman of Ohio,
is reported to have said:-
'sAs third party" said he, 81 hardly
believe that the Alliance will be more for
tunate than its many predecessors, although
they might completely change the condi-
tons in many of the States temporarily"
s'If the Alliance" said Judge Thurman,
"would in national convention adopt plat
form reciting the fact that the burdens of
taxation have become 80 burdensome as to
be no longer borne by the people, and that
these burdens are in large measure due to
the present high protective tariff, and de-
mand that nothing more than a tariff for
revenue be collected for the conduct of the
Government. economically administered,
and, regardless of party affiliations, vote
oniy for candidates representing their
views, do not think that many elections
would be held before the fact would be rec.
ognized that the people demanded an i'm
mediate reform Of the tariff. l refer to the
tariff simply because it is now the issue up
on which the two parties are divided. Let the
Farmers Alliance agree upon one of the
most Important measures and make it aa
issue, and mark my word they will not
speak 10 vain. Political parties recognize
the voice of the people, aud when we are
united we accomplish something. Unless
the Alliance unite upon one issue at time
must say that as political factor it will
accomplish little, and, like other organiza-
lions before it, will crumbIe to pieces"
