BLACKsBURG, October "a The
special vestibuled train over the South
ern railroad, bearing President Cleve-
land and his party to Atlanta, passed
through here on Tuesday, the 22nd
instant at 1O.47 o'clock. The party
consisted of Mr.. Cleveland Secretary
and Mrs. Carlisle; Postmaster General
and Mrs. Wilson; Secretary Herbert
and Mrs. Micou, his daughter; Secre-
tary Hoke Smith; Secretary Morton
and Miss Morton, his sister; Secretary
and Mrs. Lamont; Mrs. Harmon, wife
of the Attorney General and Private
Secretary Thurber. The presidential
train was in charge of w. A. Turk, the
general passenger agent of the South
ern railway, and is said to be one of the
handsomest that has ever been run out
of Washington. 1t consisted of the
private car "Wildwood," which is the
car used by President Pullman when
his own car is in the shops, and com
prises very large state room, dining
room, and large compartment at the
rear, suitable for observation and max
ing speeches the compartment car
"Columbia," which contains II state
rooms opening into each other and is
one of the finest of the kind made by
the Pullman company. Besides these
were baggage and parlor car COM
bined.
The Wildwood was occupied by the
president and was the rear car of the
the train. When it stopped Mr.. Cleve-
land with several members of his cab
met were standing on the observation
platform. Several hundred of our
citizens, including nearly 200 school
children had gathered at the Southern
depot and gave the distinguished party
their first welcome upon South Carroll
na soil. The president acknowledged
the patriotic greeting of our people
with smiles, pleasant words and hearty
handshakes. TO the children was he
especially kind and gracious, and SEEM
ed anxious to shake hands with as
many of the little tots as could be held
up to him. He appeared to be in ex-
cellent spirits and in splendid health,
and impressed one as being a man OF
temperance, moderation, good judg-
ment and great firmness, and, after the
stop of 10 minutes the train moved on,
he continued to respond to the enthu-
siasm of his loyal admirers. l Thought
that the affairs of any people could be
safely trusted to Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. w. A. Baber, who has been
farming near Grover this year, moved
back yesterday to Blacksburg and will
occupy his residence on Carolina street.
