Not to Have wines

The annual supper and infallation Of
officers OF Shockoe Council. NJ. SOS, Royal
Arcanum, viii occur on next friday night.
on which occasion the grand officers will
be present in their official casaclty. This
council fully maintained It's good record
during the year now drawing TO a close,
Notwithstanding the fact thf: the strin-
gency of the times operate3as a draw
back to all orders OF thif character.
There was held a meeting on each stated
meeting night during the 3ear-neither
heat nor cold operating to prevent quo
runs attendance.
At the last meeting OF this council. when
the supper menu was being discussed,
Regent w. NJ. Bicker vacated the chair
and argued that al wines and liquors
be omitted, as he did not thii;k this social
custom conducive to the wifare Of hui
mainly, and that it WAS espSIally incon-
gruous for an order of the principles and
aims Of the Arcanum to sasction GUS
tom which. generally speaking, contrlbut-
ed to the distress Of men. OthC:s spoke, and
1t was finally decided to have hnly a couple
OF gallons of wine. ThereupoY the Regent
stated that while he dsclaimed any in
tentlon to be contrary or factlous, yet
IL was Hldtler Oh principle with MIN.
and 1t was due the council - state that
he could not be present on The occasion.
Then 1t was unanimously resolved 10 re-
consider the action OF the colnctl and to
omit the wine from the n{eru. After
speeches dlsclalming any desire or lnten-
ton to act out of harmony With thu Re-
gents wishes. and an unwtlingness to
have the supper unless the Regent could
be present. the question was put by Vice
Regent ellis, end the Regent expressed
his high appreciation OF what he termed
handsome act on the part OF council
he dearly loved, many of the members
OF which were his intimate, personal
friends" and again stated that his posi-
ton was purely a matter .of principle.
The greatest harmony prevailed through
out the discussion and further evinced
the fact the Shockoe Is a harmonious
band OF brothers. into which factional
feuds never enter.
Regent BIcker is a grand officer of the
Good Templars.
The death OF Mr.. II. Bloomberg Zone
OF the charter members) a few days ago
makes the third death in Shockoe's ranks
since its organization. some twelve years
ago. Several representatives from Shockoe
were present at Mr.. Bloomberg'S obse-
quies, each wearing his appropriate jewel.

1n,us,,oe to Appomattox People.

The Stanton vindicator. which ever
aims TO be fair and Is nearly always we'll
,nformsA n.d level-headed. in discussing
the chsnge Of the name Of Appomattox.
SAYS that "in view of the dense cloud OF
n apprehension that has covered this
matter It must state that 1.-The first
and very Objectionable change was made
by the department at the suggestion Of
the postmaster. or patrons. or both. Of the
old post-ofiice."
This statement Is erroneous and cruelty
unjust to the people OF old Appomatsox.
They have never wanted to give UP the
name Of Appomattox. The idea Of q
change was conceived by others. The first
thing that the Appomattox post-ofilce peo-
Die heard about the change was that the
postmaster had been informed by the de-
partment that the people Of Appomattox
post-ofice would have to give up that
nams--that the people Of another place
wanted II.
Mind you. here was the very first step.
step that aid not originate with the
people Of Appomattox but with the de-
partmeht

Art thou waiting. my Hollywood.

While my soul so softly whispers,

Why waitest thou, my Hollywood,
With arm outstretched 70 me,
While / tread along thy grassy slopes,
And yearn and sign for thee2
Shall hasten, then, my Hollywood,
And flee 10 thee for rest,
And lay my burden on the Rock.
Ny head on thy cold breast?
No. no: not yet, my Hollywood.
My burden yet I'll bear.
Till roses bloom and songsterS sing
The songs OF a coming year.
Till then, farewell. my Hollywood,
Till roses adorn thy crest;
And songsters hymn their lays OF love
Where lie the sleeping best.

And tomb OF my one loved best:
And under the sod OF my Hollywood

Department. the postmaster ana patrons
Of the old Appomattox once began to
canvass various names that were pro-
posed. Then II was that they hit upon
surrender" and forwarded II to the de-
partmcnt.
These. we believe. are the facts. They
come to us from an Official source, and,
though repeatedly published by US. have
never been contradicted. We therefore
ask the vindicator TO do the people OF
old Appomattox post-ofice the justice TO
publish those facts.
These noble people have suffered morti-
ficasion enough already. without being
called upon to endure the odium Of hay
ing originated the idea Of giving up the
name OF Appomattox.

The Carlisle Bill,

In his speech in the House Of Repre-
sentatives last week, Mr.. Walker Re-
publican). of Massachusetts, said Of Mr..
Carlisle and his currency bill:
II do not believt that any gentleman
constituted as / believe he is, or any
other patriot, could have had any other
motive in presenting the bill than the
high desire to serve his country" ZAP
plause)
Mr.. Warner. Of New York. said:
with the exceptions Of Mr.. st. John
and Mr.. A. J. Warner of Ohio (who
were in favor Of no bank-note currency
along any line, and. least OF all, along
any line suggested by the gentleman from
Indiana), the other banking experts, with
probably one exception, came before the
committee advocating the principles upon
which the Carlisle bill Is based, and to a
large extent approving OF its very de-
tails"
So the Carlisle bill Is not destitute Of
friends.
