Little Allie had just completed the
course OF lessons at Sunday school about
Joseph and his brethren. and her mother
reviewed the subject with her to find out

all the questions correctly until she came

besitated.

For the SPECTATOR.
"chiidren's Day" at P Ieasant Grove
Church.,

Sunday eve. June Goth, was Children s
Dav''-may we not call it "Children's Eve?'
at Pleasant Grove Quite large crowd had
assembled ere our rotary orb rotated US east
ward to the point in the long June days.
where it behooves all well-regulated clocks to
strike lust three strokes. If anyone in that
assemblage of so many intelligent persons
were YOU there?-was not highly pleased and
benefited by their soul-stirring declarations
and speeches, twas not the fault of those
who so prayerfully arranged the program
l have heard none express aught but praise.
The declamations were faultlessly rendered.
which is saying much-by the following
young ladies'
Misses Annie Yount, Trannie Tutwiler,
Bette Crickenberger Ida Lambert, Matte
Pearson, Pearle Pearson, Gertrude Shumate,
Gertrude Hogshead Siddie Myers, and others
whom we cannot recall at present 1t is very
difficult for young folks ''to speak in public
on the stage" but it is more SO for them to
speak before their teachers andlparents, who,
they feel, are viewing them with critic
eye" The rendering of the ''Ten Virgins"
was very impressive While the choir sang,
Bringing in the Sheaves,' the children
marched in, each bearing golden sheaf OF
wheat-very small, of course.
All may well know the musical treat, ENJOY
ed by all present, when we state that Prof.
James Clarke of Mount Scion was organlst
on this occasion. He is an accomplished ar
fist, ct yara a0is. The choir sang with much
life, and the voices blended harmoniously
with the organ, and made the air vibrate
with melodious strains of chaste music.
1t is only our aim to praise that which well
merited praise, and, in so doing, we know all
were as much enthused as was your reporter

DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION
MEEfINC

large open-air meeting of the Democrats
OF this city to ratify the nominations of Grover
Cleveland for President and Adlai E. Steven
son for Vice-President, was held in the Court
house yard last night Capt. John N. Opie
acted as Chairman and when he called the
meeting to order, he made some stirring re-
marks showing the Importance of this cam
paign and the necessity of Union, and then
introduced successfully the following speakers
who all made able and eloquent speeches.
Hon. JAS L. Gordon, of Albemarle; George
NJ. Harrison, Esq; Hon. Ed Echols; Hon. H.
st. G. Tucker Gen. John Echols; and J. L.
Bumgardner, Esq. Each of these speakers
presented in forcible manner the issues in
this canvass and the dangers which are now
impending over our institutions and the liber-
ties of the people, and the duty of every man
to go to the polls and to vote for the nominees
OF the Democratic party-that the question
was not that OF free silver or free trade, but of
free people.
The election of Harrison meant the passage
of the Force Bill and the destruction of re-
critics of the people.
We regret that we cannot give some report
Of these excellent speeches, but the meeting
was not concluded till the hour of putting
our paper to press, leaving us neither time nor
space to do So These speeches should be re
ported. for they would do a great deal of good
if read by the people generally.
How any man, who understands the situa-
ton, can vote for any other than the Demo-
l.
strange for to vote for any other ticket is prac-
tically to vote for the Force Bill and the loss
of freedom, though il may not be so intended

much admired young lady of the community,
to Prof JAS. S. CALLIsoN, late Principal of

sinking to rest and shedding glory over the
whole EARTH the bridal party entered the

plished organist, was at the organ.

i've manner with the same lovely flowers.

with white ribbons and lace, and carried a
bouquet of Marechal Neil roses Mr.. R. w.

ing MANNER
Misses jamie Mcclure and Carrie Gilkeson.
Messrs John Sproul and A. P. Moore.
Misses Willie Humphreys and Margaret
Smith.
Messrs st. c. Hester and Clarence Wallace.

Experience Teaches.

The Mckinley bill has now been in
operation long enough for people to
judge of its merits by the test of expert
eIce. What have its advocates to
SOW for it? To what results can they
point in justification of its extraordi-
nary exactions? The democratic party
opposed its passage because they be
ieved that it would make the neces-
saries of life higher and make it hard
er for poor men to live. The republi-
cans declared that its effect would be
to give the laboring people more work
and better wages, whilst making the
necessaries of life cheaper Which par
ty, in the light of experience, was righty
The democrats can, in justification of
their opposition to the bill, point to
reduction of wages and threatened re-
duction in protected industries. They
can point to strikes and discomfort and
turmoil and unrest among the labor
ing people. They can show advance
in the price of food and clothing and
other necessary articles of daily life.
They can point to the formation of
trusts and the choking of competition
Can the republicans show to the pub
lie any protected industries which have
wages in consequence of the
Mckinley bill? Ifthey can they should
lose no time in doing so.-BGltinaofe

Murder of Mr.. J. C. Leech.
PRO IINENT cITIzLN OF RocKBRIDGE ASS.
SINtTFD

SINATED
GOSHEN BRIDGE, July Al. Granville Leech,
of this place, was brutally murdered by par
| ty or parties unknown near his brothers Col
one Leechs) home four miles from here last
night, and it has been the sole topic of con-
versaton here to-day, and tonight Sheriff
| Witt and Commemorative attorney Moore
from Lexington, are here endeavoring to get
a clue.
The coffin was brought up on the afternoon
train and the burial is set for tomorrow. The
funeral will be a large one, as the deceased was
widely known and much liked.
No one witnessed the murder of course. 1t
was in lonely spot and pidst Egyptian dark
ness. Mr.. Leeeh left Goshen Sunday afternoon,
saying that he was going to his brothers,
where lis little motherless boy lives, and
| there spend the nsght and early in the morn
ing set off for Lexington to attend court.
About 8 o'clock he found he had left atGoshen
some important papers, and said he would go
back for them. Soon he set off and had been
gone five or ten minutes when several gun re-
ports, and a cry of murder startled those at
the house, and Colonel Leech and the boy
went out to the gate near the river, a consid-
cradle distance away, where they found the
unfortunate mans hat and umbrella and sub
sequently his horse where he was tied to a
stump some distance away Soon afterwards
some neighbors came upon the scene, and
search was made for the missing man. 1t
was unavailing, and a fire was built in the
road and kept burning all night. Just after
day break the body was found in the hay
field about four hundred yards distant. Each
side was shot through, evidently from behind
the thick gate post, and through the temple
and behind the ear-the wounds being made
by SO calibre cartridge in either rifle or
bulldog revolver, and thoss in the head were
evidently made after the victim had fallen,
and the weapon SO close that the hair was
singed and face burned by the powder The
alarm spread rapidly, and many went from
here to the scene. DR.. Vauner, the Coroner,
viewed the remains about ten o clock and sent
for the county sheriff.
The news at Lexington caused it is said, the
adjournment of the court.
Mr.. Leech was very popular citizen. He
frequently displayed money, and is said to
have seldom refused loan, and it is thought
that recent money affairs have caused some
one of his creditors to get him out of the way.
His watch and about twenty dollars were
found on his person, hence murder was APP
parently the sole aim of the assassin or as
sassins.
The funeral which takes place tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock will be largely attended.
Much sympathy is expressed for the orphan
child as well as the disconsolate brother The
deceased lost his wife and two children sew
eral years ago within month. Since then,
he has lived at the hotel here-his child with
his uncle's family. B.

Chamber Of Commerce,

A special meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Staunton Chamber of Commerce was
held in the Secretary's Office Yesterday even
ing to consider House Resolution 1896: ga bill l
Amendatory of AN act entitled an act to pro
vide for the taking of the eleventh census,
and the powers thereby proposed to be confer
red on the Secretary of the Interior" On
motion the following resolutions prepared by
President Ransom were unanin. ously adopt
ed =
RESOLVED, That the Staunton Chamber of
Commerce, through its Board # Directors,
earnestly protests against the passage by Con-
gress of the Bill, introduced by Mr. Wilcox
of Connecticut, known as House Resolution
1896, amendatory of the act entitled IAN Act
for the taking of the Eleventh Census" And
for these, among other reasons =
LIST, The only reason for proposing such
measure, namely to promote the productive
enterprises of the country, by the collection of
useful data, does not justify the sweeping re-
quirements of this Bill, nor its heavy penal
ties of fine and Imprisonment.
md, The Bill is contrary to the spirit of our
free institutions and of a free people. 1t is
an entering wedge for governmental espiOn-
age of and interference with the private bust
ness affairs of the citizen engaged in any kind
of productive industry whether conducted
3rd, 1t confers upon one man, the Secretary
of the Interior, absolute dictatorial powers as
to the subjects of inquiry, and constitutes a
number officials, the Superintendent of Cen
sus and his subordnlates special inquisitors,
with unlimited powers for prying into those
subjects We regard this as an outrageous
encroachment upon private rights, excused by
no statistical necessities, and susceptible of
the gravest abuses by these irresponsible, and
sometimes purchasable subordinates, in the
close competitions of business.
| 4th, 1t is more likely to prove discouraging
and hurtful, than helpful, to the productive
| industries of the nation, to be annoyed by a
set Of spies about their establishments nous
| ing into particulars of administration and de-
tails of business arrangements which prudent
operators might hesitate to confide to their
| closest friends, and unrestricted in their OPP
| portunities TO harass and injure them by
criminal prosecutions under such law.
WHEREAS it is ordered that copy of these
| resolutions be sent by the Secretary to each
member of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives from the State of Virginia, with
the request that they will use all proper eff
forts to defeat this Bill. And that the same
be also communicated to the other active
Chambers of Commerce in this State.
The application of Major Jed Hotchkiss for
membership in the Chamber was received
and accepted.

Wheat harvesting is well along in Ken

Nothing could more distinctly EN-

the fuss that has been raised by the
incorporation of the Force bill in the
