The petition for the establishment
of post office at Reeves, says the

In the pamphlet entitled "Nevada
and her Resources" printed for dis
tribution on Nevada day at the Mid
winter Fair, we find an engraving,
taken from photograph, entitled
cath of July at Taylor" which we
readily recognize. A photograph
taken from the same standpoint to-
day would show up but one solitary
man to lend life to the picture. The
mines are still there-have MT got
away-have MT been worked out
then why this desolation in town
that but few years ago teemed with
life? A Nevada gold bug would say
it is because -because-er-er.
w. L. Davis and family left
Wednesday last for their new and
future home in HOLSTER, San Benito
county, California, and take with
them the best wishes of this COM
munity and of the entire county.
Mr.. Davis has resided in White Pine
county for 10 years and more. He
came to the county flying light,
and obtained employment in the
office of the News, then published at
Hamilton by A. Skillman, now of the
Sentinel. Mr.. Skillman finally con-
cluded to pay his undivided attention
to the Sentinel and left Mr..
Davis in full charge of the News for
several years. The subject of this
sketch then took trip up to the
Yankee Fork country, and upon his
return associated himself with w. R.
Forrest and purchased the NEWS ma
terial in 1880. Later on he became
sole proprietor of the paper, and
managed it so well that at the time
of his retirement from business here
he was one of the best "fxed men
in the county, an unheard-of standing
for newspaper man in any commu-
nifty. In business matters Mr.. Davis
word has at all times been as good as
his check is now.

BREoKINRIDaE,s DEFEAT.

Representative w. @. P. Breckenridge
will not succeed himself in the next
Congress- In spite of valiant efforts by
his friends the voters at Saturdays
primary election in the so-called Ash
land district in Kentucky trampled on
Mr.. Breckinridge's aspirations with a
severity that left no doubt as to the at.
titude of the majority in that district
toward the silver tongued orator of the
blne grass region.
q The result was due, OF course, to the
charges brought against him and proven
by Madeline Pollard, but one of the
strongest points scored against MIN was
his own testimony, which showed him
to hold views on morality repugnant to
most people. The verdict rendered
Saturday at the Kentucky primaries
will be approved by nine tenths of the
people of the country.

VOTE FOR OrEY.

With our universities, schools and op-
portunities for education; our advanced
civilization, for which Virginia and Vir.
ginians have ever been proud, would 1t
not seem q travesty for us to send man
to Congress who Is bound by his plat
form to adhere to Populistic views?
Either ne would be untrue to his party,
false to his pledge, or else he would fol-
low the leadership of the great sage Of
Populism, Whiskered PETER, Of Kansas.
To follow the latter would be to vote
that all taxes should be derived from
real estate, and were we to send such a
representative the people at Washing
ton-sy and of the entire country
would ask: "Is is possible that the homo
of John Randolph, the great Sixth dis
trict of Virginia, no longer maintains
schools or has within its borders a
thinking populace?"
Do not let us make the great error Of
foolishness by sending an erratic. aero
batic crank to Congress, nor let US cast
vote for him that will subtract one
from Major O.ey thereby. throwing it
away and giving chance for the cleo
ton OF Hoge who represents protectio
Tiews antagonistic to our interests.

SENATOR JONES. of Nevada, is not
having very happy time just at pres
emit. He recently Topped from the Re
publican party into the arms OF the
Populists for the sole reason OF insuring
his seat in the Senate for another term.
Now the Republican committee has
written him a long letter requesting his
resignation from the very position he is
trying so hard to save. Jones reply has
not yet been received but it is safe to
say that he will decline to vacate. 1t
would certainly be hard on him If the
straight out Republicans captured the
next legislature. Our venerable free
silver friend should have had string
attached to his flop.

MAJOR OrEY yesterday in his speech
said that protection could be illustrated
this wise: Presume that Roanoke
county raises wheat at fifty cents
bushel. a toll gate ia placed at every
entrance to mark that nothing could
enter without the payment of toll. A
farmer takes bushel Of wheat to an
adjoining county and exchanges it for
Ave pounds OF tobacco at ten cents per
pound. When he returns with his
tobacco the toll man demands that
duty or tax or protection" of ten cents
per pound be paid. Can any wise man
argue himself into the belief that the
foreigner pays the tax?

convention will be composed of 40 votes
as follows: Hamblen, 9; Hawkins, II,
and Sullivan, Unnecessary to choice,
20. AS Sullivan county has instructed

to cover. The room traders also bought
and the combined purchases caused an ad-
vance of per cent TO 60 per cent. When
The stock had reached this point. there
were rumors that the directors meeting
would go over until tomorrow and the
price sagged OF a fraction. Soon after
noon. the announcement that a dividend
OF 1z@l per cent had been declared reached
the exchange and a final determined as
sault was made on the shares. The buyers
OF the morning threw their stock on the

shorts. A steady, and at times sharp, de-
cline resulted, which continued up 10 the
