The honor OF having a man-of-war
named after ones native or adopted city
is considered by the residents OF that
city as highly desirable and they have
Invariably shown their appreciation by
presenting to the craft bearing its name
handsome silver service or other
appropriate testimonial. This shows
not only the interest taken in the new
ship, the assuming ot sort of God
fathership as IL w're, but links more
closely those who reside between the
walls Of wood and those Of stoIe aud
brick.
The Navy Department. has decided to
name one of the new gunboats to be
built at Newport News after this city,

the good people OF this city should take
