TO Whom it May Concern.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Please allow
me space to say few things in ref
erence to the conduct of certain
bows of our town when in church.
The young men, / am gratified to
say, conduct themselves as young
gentleman should and it is pleasure
to have them worship with us on all
occasions. There are, however,
some boys who do not seem to have
any conception of propriety, respect
for themselves, their parents, their
God or His house. They have been
reproved several times, seemingly
with no lasting effect. They are a
nuisance and a disgrace to the town.
/ desire to hereby give them warn
ing, through your paper that they
must behave when in my church or |
shall report them to the grand jury.
Patience, in this case, has ceased to
be virtue. Ny church is neither
spittoon nor social hall. / pre-
fer that these ill-mannered and, APP
parentlv, ill-tutored ''kids'' would
stay away from the Methodist church
until they learn how to behave.
They must stay away or behave,
else / shall make it little hotter
for them than they have ever had it

Mr.. Lee Holmes died on Fri
day morning of last week at his
home near Hickory Valley of mala-
rial fever. For sometime past he
had been engaged in selling fruit
trees in Arkansas and did not leave
that State until after he was taken
sick. He was taken just after merg-
ing into manhood, being % years
old at the time of his death.
We return thanks to J. NJ.
Avent, of Hickory Valley, for an
invitation to a dinner given by him
last Tuesday. A fox chase was ar
ranged for Tuesday night for the
enjoyment of the invited guest who
delighted in that kind of sport. As
Mr.. Avent does nothing by halves,
the occasion was no doubt very en-
joyable one.
The ice cream supper given
last Friday evening by the ladies of
the G. P. church was a financial sue
cess. About $50. were taken in.
Miss Birdie Warren deserves spe-
cial mention for her interesting
and instructive collection of rare
specimens as displayed in the cart
Gallery" The sLiving Curiosity"
was especially enjoyed. The "fish
pond" was a source of pleasure to
the youngsters as well as of profit to
the church.
J. B. Casselberry and Miss In
dia V. Morrison were united in mar
riage at the home of the bride in
Fayette county on the 18th of this
month. After the marriage the
young couple and invited guests
REPAIRED to the home of the groom's
father, w. w. Casselberry, where
bountiful supper had been pre-
pared for the occasion. The bride
is an estimable yonng lady, beloved
by large circle of friends and adj
mirers, and the groom is a young
man of sterling worth, who is en-
gagged in the laudable occupation OF
farming. May their brightest an
ticipations be fully realized.
On last Monday evening a crowd
Of ladies and gentlemen went in a
body to the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Durrett, Jr,, for the pur.
pose of administering to them a

keeping. So well was the surprise

knew nothing of it until the first
foot falls were heard on the walk.
Thus has been put to naught the

old saying that woman could never
keep a secret. The "China Paint
ing Glass" presented Mrs. Durrett
with a plate on which each member
had painted tiny spray or flower.
The gilt vine around the edge was
made up of the combined initials of
all the class. This piece of artistic
work was the result of Mrs. Miller's
inventive genius added by her deft
fingers. The evening was passed
pleasantly in playing games and par
taking of the refreshments carried.
Who will be the next victims?
"A story is going the rounds of the
press about Frenchman who resides
in Tennessee. He dreamed that he
died, went to the pearly gates and
knocked for admission. st. Peter
said 'Ewho art thou" The French
man replied, ''Dont you know me?
l am the Frenchman who joined the
Baptist Church in Tennessee, six
teen years ago. l have asked the
blessing before / ate, have read the
Bible and prayed daily and have
contributed literally to the church. !"
St. Peter said, ''you have lived
faithful and ought to be admitted
inside the gate, but two years sub
scription you beat the editor of your
home paper out of, will prevent you
from being admitted" The French
man then he awoke, the thoughts of
his owing the editor two dollars on
the subscription weighed on his mind
all day and the following morning
he went straight to the printing Office
settled his bill in full to date, and
planked down five dollar-bill for
five years subscription in advance.
He made up his mind that if a sub
scription account would prevent him
from going to heaven that he would
never take such chances again. Elk.

ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT.
JAMES G. FIELD.
Gordonsville, Va.

The country was plainly told by
those who spoke for the banks and the
mouey power that the people needed
an obj ct lesson so that they might be
induced to support the views of those
who advocated a sound" currency;and
the boarding of money by the banks
was declared to be part of that object
lesson.
The country was told that after the
repeal of the Sherman law there would
be reaction. This advice was taken
and we now have what the money
power calls sound" currency. What
is the result? What is the character
of the reaction? The object lesson
which the banks undertook to give
the people was in reality an attack on
the business interests of the country,
and we are now beginning to see the
results.-Atlanta Constitution.

The moral effect OF the election in
Virginia and elsewhere is favorable to
the populists. 1t is condemnatory OF
Clevelandism.
In Virginia we haze against us the
federal and state administrations with
their patronage actively used. They
have the press and corporations, the
professions and large commercial
houses, the officeholders and money
influence, the political speakers and
rings, and yet in the face of all taese,
with nothing on our SIDE but the truth
and the power of onviction, we polled
more than one-third of the vote. Nc
party ever made so gallant fight or
secured such remarkable results.
Now as to the future. Weare neither
disheartened nor cast down. We are
sin the middle of the road"-march-
ing along; and we be ieve marching
to victory. If Cleveland secures, as l
believe he desires, the formation of a
new party upon the basis of protection
to gold and manufacturers or in
other words, upon The gold standard
of finance, and protection to manu-
facturers in the raising OF revenue,
then we upon tire free coinage
and an undiscriminating tariff,
will beat his political spawn. If he
fails in this and the republicans put
up their ticket, then in my opinion
the populists of the south will beat
both Clevelandism and republicanism.
And it will be TO- you of the west and
northwest to turn the balance in our
favor or against us. Our republican
party here in Virginia will have to
cease its denunciation of unjust cleo
ton laws and of election frauds. We
pledged them non-partisan laws and a
free ballot and fair count, and the
party as a party voted with
the author Of their political wrongs.
In the future we wi / say, cease
your complaints or reform Your
votes; as you have spurned our
aid, you may help yourselves as
best you can. For the future we are
resting on our arms We ask your
sympathy and support in our great
fight. Especially we ask you of the
northwest to hold the lines in your
own front. The fate Of parties in the
Union will depend on the elections of
'9I and '9G. Our party will go on har-
monious and united. We will deserve
success. l think we will win it if
every man will do his duty. The dem
ocratic administration viii be an utter
failure, and the question will be
whether the republicans sha'l be re-
turned to power or whether the peo-
Piles party shall be intrusted with the
responsibilities Of government. Let
our watchwords be, go forward, for
we are full able TO overcome the sons
of the political Anan."

The full vote of the last election on
the gubernatorial ticket is not yet re-
ported, but enough is known to in
sure the election of Col. O'Ferrall.
The vote in some respects has been
disappointing. 1t may be misleading,
unless certain facts are remem bered.
When these facts are known and duly
appreciated the result in its moral in
tiuence will be decidedly with the
populist party. We are anxious thaS
our friends outside of the state shall
understand the surroundings in order
that 1t may appear that we have fully
sustained ourselves so far as our party
in Virginia is concerned. When we
organized for the fight in our Lynch
burg convention we recognized GER
tain facts on which the success of our
party in the state depended. We knew
full well that the populist party did
not contain majority of all the votes
in the state; we knew our growth had
been phenomenal, yet not sufficient in
itself to secure the election of our
til yet We recognized two facts: First,
If he republican party organized and
put up ticket we would probably
not elect ours, and our fight would .e
for position. Second, if the republi-
can party failed TO put up a ticket,
and the democrats succeeded in secur-
ing the republican vote, or the larger
portion OF II, we would be defeated in
the election.
When the election was over what
were the facts discovered? They are
as follows: l. That the peoples
party polled every vote 10 which it
was entitled by virtue of its organiza-
tioa. .. That the democratic candi-
date had filled to poll the democratic
vote by some So, 900 as compared with
the vote of 1892. 3. That the demo
cratic party had succeeded in polling
the bulk of the republican vote. Col.
pFerrell is governor By virtue of this
vote.
Now as to the practical results cut
side of the mere election: /. The peo-
pies party in the person of its candi-
date, Capt Coche, has increased its
vote since 1892 about 700 per cent and
fiienced as m'nY votes as it polled. ?.
Col 0'Ferrell thus if elected has lost
$4,000 votes as compared with the
election Of last fall. 3. The repub.
lican vote, instead of being cast for
our ticket, as we reasonab expected,
was cast against us. The white, in
telligent republicans voted with us,
but the great bulk OF the party was
secured against US Hence the result.
Now as to the lessons to be drawn.
First, the peoples party is party of
growth. Al other parties has fallen
on but the peoples party has ad-
.vanced at the rate of hundreds per
cent. in Virginia we have established
ourselves with about $4,000 unpur-
chased votes, cast by men who have
never bowel the knee to the political
,Baal nor worshiped the golden calf.
Second, 0'Ferrell beiLg recognized as
the Cleveland candidate, the falling
of in the democratic vote is telling
zebuke to the Cleveland administra-
ton. Third, that Clevelands comb.
nation with the republicans in con-
gress and in his cabinet has been
brought into Virginia in order to de.

Now the Cleveland army of despoila-
ton has met the Sherman army of
contraction and they are marching
side by side, pretending to give relief
by the same old tariff sham battle,
while here and there an honest cor
porai or private demurs and tries to
draw the attention of those in COM
mand to the dangers ahead. Their
squirt-gun efforts are unheeded, how
ever, and they conclude to keep in
line" and convert the whole shooting
match, leaders, armies and all. Now
and then goodly portion of the rank
and file, weary and dlsheartened, and
with the expectation of finding
marching easier, desert the army OF
contraction and join the army of
despoilation, and vice versa, but with
out finding the hoped for relief. Away
over there on the edge Of the horizon a
few snail armies are beginning to
loom up, composed mainly Of men who
believe conditions have changed and a
new day is dawning which requires a
readjustment Of societv-men who are
dissatisfied with the everlasting same
ness of continually marching around
in clrcuitous route while b-igands
and guerillas ply their nefarious voca-
lions. The smaller organizations.
differing slightly in details, have not
yet consolidated, but are headed
