Reunion at Union.

The Confederate Veterans Of Camp
Mike Foster, Monroe county, are max
ing preparations for another grand re-
union Of the Confederate veterans of
Monroe and adjoining counties at Union
on Saturday, the 3lst inst. The Watch
man announces Gen. John b. Gordon,
Of Georgia, as the orator Of the occa-
sion, and states positively that he will
be present and will deliver his famous
lecture" The Last Days of the Con-
federacy." In urging a full attend
ance of the veterans our contemporary
says:
1T is earnestly desired to make this
occasion magnificent love-feast.-
Every Confederate soldier in Monroe
and her sister counties of both w est
Virginia and Virginia is most cordi-
ally invited to attend and participate.
A special invitation is extended to
Camp David S. Creigh, of Greenbrler
The johnny Rebs' Of Monroe expect
to join in Camp CreIgh's reunion on
Sept. 25th, and their Greenbrier CON-
rades must unite with them in their
feast Of good fellowship here on Aug.
3lst. Systematic arrangements will be
made for the reception and entertain
ment of all. There will be hearty
wecome, too, for every good soldier
who wore the blue.
Excellent cornet bands will be in at
tendance and a grand procession will be
formed. The meeting will be held III
the same grove of kingly naples where
five thousand people gathered year ago.
Well did Monroe county hospitality rise
to the emergencies of that memorable
occasion, and now this year we ask cuT
good people to again sustain the high
reputation they have at all times en-
loved IN this respect. Let everybody
bring bountiful dinner-baskets, filled az
only the Incompatible housewives of
Monroe know how.
General Gordon is pledged to be here
and address his old comrades and Gen
John Echols and Maj. Henry L. Stan

the delightful experiences of last year
There is also hope that Senator John w
Daniel, of Virginia, will attend and ado
his gifted eloquence to the attractions
of the day. AS for General Gordon
everybody knows of the gallant Geor
gian, now Senator of the United
States, who bears upon his body thu
scars of five wounds received in battle
and whose fame is the heritage of tn,
whole country. His lecture on "Th,

FOUR MEN KILLED.
BLOODY RIOT AMONG RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTION MEN.
Two Men Get Into a Row About
Some Trivial Matter and Fire
Several Shots Mt Each Other, Both
Being Fatally Wounded.

Little Rock, Ark, April IA. Re-
ports of a serious riot at Sloan
Springs reached here to-day. Four
men were killed outright and others
were seriously hurt. For some
months past trouble has been brewing
among the men engaged in the rail-
way construction work near the
springs, they being made up Of for
eign born and native citizens. Two
or three weeks ago there was row
which for time threatened bloodshed
but which was finally qlelled by the
officers without the loss of life. Last
night two men, Glendenning and
Fleming, got into quarrel about
some trivial matter. They drew pis-
tolls, and before they could be re-
strained, fired several shots at each
other, both being fatally wounded.
The encounter brought together all
the men in the camps, and when the
disputants fell the pent-up excitement
burst, precipitating a riot, the men
fighting each other like tigers. Shot
after shot was fired, and knives and
clubs were used. Deputy United
States Marshal Proctor fastened to
the scene and ordered the men to dis
perse. He was attacked by three or
four persons, and in self-defense, was
compelled to kill two of his assail-
ants. He was seriously wounded, but
his action stopped the fight Several
arrests were made, but good many
OF those who engaged in the fight esA
capped.

Irish POlftenesS.

A clerical traveller in Cavan not long
ago asked a peasant how far it was to
a certain village, and he answered,
''Two miles," "What! Only two
miles?' said the traveller, who had be-

a long road. "Well, your reverence"
answered the peasant, ut is two miles

somewhat similar story is told by one

The Editors Woodpile.

We were engaged the other day in
piling wood in the cellar, and our
thoughts ran in the direction of the
amount of labor expended in cutting,
preparing, hauling and getting the
wood to the stove or fireplace. First.
the trees are felled in the forest, then
the trunk and limbs are cut into four
foot lengths and split and piled; then
hauled out to the roadside or Slid
down the mountain; then hauled Off
to market; then delivered at the
houses of customers; then thrown into
the cellar or woodshed; then sawed
and split; then piled; then carried into
the house and placed in the wood
box and then burned Eleven times
at least the wood is handled and re-
handled, about half of which labor
falls upon the seller, and the other
half upon the consumer. It is about
the same with COAL The original ar
ticle is of less value than the labor
required to get it into practical use by
the consumer. And so it is largely
with almost everything that goes into
general consumption. Labor is the
great element of cost in human exist
ence.-Northampton Gazette.
