Shall We Neglect Our Duty ?

vIRGINIA's WELFARE DEMANDS THE PRES
ENcE OF EVERY EDITOR AT THE NORFOLK
CONVENTION.
The November issue of the Iron Belt, Of
Roanoke, Va, will contain the following
editorial
An adjourned meeting of the Worlds
F air Convention, which met at Pulaski in
J July, will be held in Norfolk on the 25th
inst, and will doubtless be one of the
largest gatherings of representative men
ever held in Virginia.
Its object, as is we'll known, is to awaken
the people to the importance of having q
creditable exhibit at the Worlds Fair at
Chicago, next year.
1t is expected that 1900 representatives
from different sections of the State will be
present, including the Pulaski delegates;
Eve from each county, three from each
business association in the cities and towns
of the State, the judges of courts, mayors
of cities, Virginia members of Congress,
and the members of the Legislature of the
State, and every Virginia editor; and it is
in regard to this latter class that we wish
to speak.
The interests of Virginia at this time de-
mand that every editor from Norfolk to
Bristol, from Alexandria to Danville, be
present at Norfolk on the 25th.
1t is first duty that We owe the btate,
one that cannot be lightly put aside, and
the newspaper men that have the welfare
of the Old Dominion at heart, will see it at
a glance.
The Virginia Press Association will meet
In Bristol on the 18th inst. An excursion
to Dallas, Texas, has been arranged by
rhrn r., n
after adjournment. This trip cannot be
made in less than twelve days, which will
make the excursion last until December
LIST, and consequently prevent the men,
bers who participate, from being present at
Norfolk.
President PHgh has been rendered free
transportation for the Association over the
Louisville g. Nashville Railroad from Big
Stone Gap to Cincinnati, Ohio, through
Louisville, KY, which trip will consume
not over four days and allow the editors
ample time to get home for the Norfolk
Convention.
Another thing to be considered, is the
fact that Virginia does not receive far
thing from Texas in any way whatever,
while the States of Kentucky and Ohio are
tributary, and an excursion will result in
untold benefit in innumerabe ways.
This is an important matter and we urge
the Importance of considering well the re-
suits before getting on the East Tennessee
train on the 10Th inst.
Vice. President Fitzhugh has expended
considerable effort in securing transporta-
ton, etc., for this excursion, but that his
labor has been in very bad cause, at this
time, every right-thinking man will admit,
and we sincerely hope that the men who
compose the Virginia Press Association,
will show their patriotism by going from
Bristol, not to Texas but to Norfolk, and
assist in the grand work there to be done.
Virginia Editors, do your duty Sacri-
fee little pleasure for the welfare of the
State.

TANNING THE EMBERs OF SECTIONAL
IsM.-The order just issued by the COM
mander.in chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic urging that there shall 'be no
further participation in any demonstration
or parade where the emblem of treason is
carried or displayed" is one of those ebulli-
tions Of sectional fsnaticism which moder-
ate men of all shades of opinion cannot fail
to deplore. The ''emblem of treason re-.
ferred to is the Confederate flag, which is
said to have been carried in the parade at
the Grady monument exercises at Atlanta.
There was no significance in its presence
save that of sentiment. If Confederate
veterans were permitted in the parade, why
should they not carry the banner which
they followed in battle? It typiied, for
them. not ''treason" or rebellion" but
the glorious memories of hard-fought con-
ficts, of sacrifices and heroism on behalf Of
what they believed to be right. They are
all the better Americans and patriots be-
cause they are not ashamed to cherish a
relic stained with the blood of brave men.

PHILOPENE.

In playful mood he placed his black straw hat
On top of Madge's curly. bronze brown hair,
And thought in all his life he'd never seen
A maiden half so ravishingly fair
Her blue eyes sparkling in rogush way.
Her dimpled cheeks just red enough to show
The cherry ripeness Of her luscious lips
Just fetched him, and of course he wasn't
slow
To seize the opportunity, likewise
The half resisting Madge, and plant kiss
Or two, or more. just where they'd do most
good.
His aim was true-he never made miss.
He thought she might be angry, but his fears
All vanished as he reached the hall door mat
She said, Next time you come be sure to veal
That tricky-mean-old-lov black straw
hat.n

He cried, "Yo no! love you so!'
And vowed he'd never fail her.
He talked of star and compass true,
The glories of the ocean.
And from the way he sang, they say

Then Cupid, puzzled in his mind.
Discarded his DISCUSSES:

Gov. Campbell of Ohio, explaining the
reason Of his recent defeat, says:
"The Farmers Alliance, it has now de-
veloped, was an organization of democratic
farmers in democratic counties. Where
ever it may have existed in the republican
districts it melted away, and its members
supported their old party ticket without ,
break. In one township in Seneca county,
in which there is not q republican vote,
this third party cast vote of 1875. every
mothers son of them democrats. We got
it right between the eyes in every rock-rib
bed democratic community in the same
style"
Yes, in Ohio the democratic members of
the Alliance voted the Alliance ticket, but
the republican members did lot. On the
contrary, they voted the republican ticket,
and thereby, to the extent of their power,
prevented the adoption of any of the meas
ures for which the Alliance is contending.

LoNGFELLOw's POETIC DESCRIPTION OF A
FAvORITE SEASON.
1t is the Indian summer. The rising SUD
blazes through the misty air like a con-
fagration. A yellowish, smoky haze flls
the atmosphere.
And filmy mist
Lies like silver lining on the sky.
The wind is soft and low. 1t watts to
us the odor of forest leaves, that hang wilt
ed on the dripping branches or drop into
the stream. Their gorgeous tints are gone,
as if the autumnal rains bad washed them
out. Orange, yellow and scarlet, all are
changed to one melancholy russell hue. The
birds, too, have taken wing, and have left
their roofless dwellings. Not the. whistle
of robin, not the twitter of an eavesdrop-
ping swallow, not the carol of one sweet
familiar voice. All gone. Only the dismal
cawing of crow, as lie sits and curses that
the harvest is over, or the chit-chat of an
idle squirrel, the noisy denizen of hollow
tree, the mendicant friar of large parish,
the absolute monarch of dozen acorns.

We were having very pleasant time,
but still no one seemed sorry when Miss
Kate announced that supper was ready
and invited US to the dining.room where
ample justice was done to the good
things spread before US. After supper
all hands were engaged in the difficult
task of repairing the donkey.
The time passed so pleasantly that no
one seemed to realize that the old year
was dying 90 rapidly.
As the clock struck twelve the bells
rang out the old, rang in the new.
