Tribute 10 General PhilliDs.

All Of the friends of Virgnid's new
Brieadier-Generdl AlonZo l.. Phillips do
not live IN Richmond. About eight years
ago Lee Camp visited New England. and
a that time General Phillips was the
commander of the camp. The camp spent
four days in Boston and Lynn. Mass,
and in both cities they were royalty en-
teItained. \ dinner was rendered The
camp in Lynn, in an enormous tent, and
covers were laid for 1850 people. On jhat
trip, among the frian1s Commander Phil
lips made were editor John l.. Parker
of the Lynn Item, and Mr.. n. q. Shep-
herd, of the same city.
Mr. Shepherd is now the superinten-
dent Of the Davis Boot and Shoe Com
parry. in this city. and whe1 General
Phillips sketch and picture were publish
ed IN The Times last Sunday he sent a
copy to Editor Parker. That accounts
for the following editorial. which appear
ed a few days ago in The Item:
Many of our citizens will remember
Alonzo l.. Phillips, the Commander OF
r. H. Lee Camp, G. ", on their visit TO
Lynn several years ago. We notice In
a recent number of the Richmond Times
that he has been elected a Brigadier Cen
eral of the Virginia Militia. He was a
Captain in the militia when he visited
Lynn. General Phillips is every inch a
soldier and cannot fail TO be the pride
of his brigade. His friends in Lynn will
be pleased TO know of his well merlted
promotion.

been before.
The committee entrusted with the work
OF securing a place for the sales-room are

the Did method Of selling on the premises
in the mud, rain, cold, or heat, or what
ever else the miserable conditions might
be.
one agent said that the very life of the

more modern methods were adopted he
would leave the business.
The agents say there is almost nothing
doing In real estate now, but that the
