The Sunbeam Society of the Baptist
Sunday-school gave public entertain
ment last Sunday afternoon at O'Clock
The entertainment consisted of songs
and recitations by the small children
who had been trained for the occasion
by Mrs. S. w. MOrrisett and Miss Ma
~ Lawrence. The exercises lasted
something like an hour and did great
credit both to the managers and the
children. There was not hitch or a
halt from the first to the last.
A good audience was present and all
were highly pleased with the exercises.
The collection amounted to $40 OF
which the Little Sunbeams" contrib
uted $3.50 in envelopes. The amount
was forwarded to the Mission Board
The Roanoke Union of the Tar Riv-
er Association will be held at Tlllery,

Eastern Republicans.

Topeka, (Kans.), June 6.-The
largest Republican Convention in the
Stato's history met at noon to-day.
The situation was simplified as far as
the head of the ticket is concerned by
the withdrawal of E. w. Hotch from
the race for Governor.
Elk Congressman S. B. Peters was
elected temporary chairman, Mr..
Peters made a twenty minnie speech,
attributing the business troubles to
Democracy and Populism.
COLUMBUS, tOhio,), June 6,-The
Republican State Convention re con-
vened at 10 o'clock. Ex-Secretary
Charles Foster, the permanent chair

demonstration. He arraigned the
Cleveland administration and the
Democratic Congress as the cause of
the present hard times.
The platform endorses the "honest.
able and efficient administration" of
Governor Mckinley; commends John
Sherman and the Mckinley tariff; de-
nounces the Wilson bill and the Sen
ate substitute; denounces the ATTEMPT
10 destroy reciprocity; demands pro-
tectlon; calls Cleveland's Hawaiian
policy "National disgrace;" de-
mands Law to prevent the immipra-
"on OF criminals; favors bi-metallism

Low Bids.

W,s,1,xt;ToS. June c. The extra
ordinary depression which exists in
the industrial world has just received
q very forcible illustration in the
opening bids for the erection OF the
steel suDerstructure of the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth stories Of the
United States postoffice building in
this city. ....
This building, which is to be one
of the largest in the United States
covers an acre of ground.
The four floors for which the bids
have just been opened, represent a
total of 10000 feet or nearly four
acres.
For erecting this immense super
structure there were thirteen bids,
and when they were opened IN the
Supervising Architects Office OF the
Treasury this week the men who had
to pass upon them fairly gasped, for
the highest of the bids was only ST.
$40, and the lowest was So9,533, the
successful bidders beingthe Brown
Ketchunl Works of Indianapolis, who
get out their work in the Chicago
Rolling Mills.
This bid is % per cent lower than
any bid which could have been secur-
ed year ago, and when it is compar-
oil with the cost Of such work before
Cleveland prices and Cleveland wages
became the rule, the contrast is even
more startling. S..
The original estimates for this sec
ton, which are kept secret, were near
the two hundred thousand mark, and
when the building was planned this
was the sum the Government expect
to pay for this work.

Memorial Day at Mound Valley.

May Both was observed with ap-
exercises by Miss Ella
Crosson's school in the Mound school
house, with the assistance of friends.
The room being handsomely deco
rated with flowers and national flags,
the guests. some sixteen in number,
assembled, and at 2 o'clock u very
entertaining programme, of which
the following is only portion opened
with an address by Permelia Henry,
followed by a song by the school,
each bearing boquets, entitled "Deco-
ration Day."
The patriotic recitations: "Star
Spangled Battle Flag" by Minnie
Clayton and "Our Flag" by Jay Hen
ry, were excellent, "What she said"
was becomingly recited by Florence
Moody. "Drafted,"a pathetic recita-
ton by Miss Crosson was well rem
dered and quite suitable to the oc-
casion.
Charlie Clayton's humorous reci-
tation, "That Keg of Butter" brought
down the house. Hearty cheers
greeted Miss Mamie Carville's re-
ctial of @You put no flowers on my
papa's grave"
The dialogue, "Just as our mothers
do" by Misses Carville, Chick and
Henry, was clever take off on Cos
siping neighbors.
Next came the beautiful song, en-
titled: somebody's Darling" by Miss
Carville, aided by her mother.
"The flowers" charming dialogue
with Matte Chick crowned Queen of
May. Joe Henry and Ted Carville's
dialogue: "They meant business"
caused much merriment. Grown
men could not have acted it truer to
life.
"The Blue and the Gray" recited
by Matte Chick, while others deco
rated grave in the background was
impressive.
The closing address, entitled; 1.-THE
Origin of our Flag" by Miss Carville
followed with song by the school,
ended the programme.
At the request of our hostess, Miss
Alice Decker and Miss Anna Toyn
contributed their favorite recitations
which were enthusiastically received.
After the literary exercises, boun-
teous repast was set before us, which
we all enjoyed to our utmost capaci-
ty. The entertainment was voted a
grand success by all.

for their horses. 1t was treat to see
them, for they could not have carried
themselves better if they had belonged
to my own brigade. We rode together
until in the early morning we saw
the lights of Senlis. A peasant was
coming along with a cart, and from him
welearned how things were going there
His information was certain, for his
brother was the mayors coachman and
he had spoken with him late the night
before. There was single squadron
of Cossacks-or a. polk as they call 1t i'm
their fTghtful ianguage-quartered
upon the mayors house, which stands
at the corner of the market place, and
is the largest building in the town. A
whole division of Prussian infantry
was encamped in the woods to the
north, but only the Cossacks were in
Senlis. All! what a chance to avenge
ourselves upon these barbarians, whose
cruelty to our poor country folk was
the talk at every camp fire. We We're
into the town like a torrent, hacked
down the Nedettes, rode over the guard
and were smashing in the doors of the
mayors house before they understood
that there was a Frenchman within
twenty miles of them. We saw horrid
heads at the windows, heads bearded
to the temples, with tangled hair and
sheepskin caps, and silly gaping
mouths. "Hourra! Hourrav they
shrieked, and fired with their carbines,
but our fellows were into the house
and at their throats before they had
wiped the sleep out of their eyes. 1t
was dreadful to see how the Poles flung
themselves upon them, like starving
wolves upon herd of fat bucks-for,
as you know, the Poles have q blood
feud against the Cossacks The most
were killed in the upper rooms, whittier
