I'VE have made no decision a
bout the tidewa,er terminus, and
will not do 50 until we have con-
ferred with your people. as stated
to Won in my telegram. Our angi-
neer corps mast be getting pretty
well down to your county by tins
time.
NO one has or had authority to
speak for us as tother route, because
none has been decided On, and we
could not have given out to the
world a route when we didn't know
it ourselves. We are working with
might and main to get our line
across the Valley and into West
Virginia, because there is good
business over there awaiting us
and no railroad there-at least in
the section we will serve.

The happiest man in our com
munitv last week was Commodore
0. II. p. Cornell, chief engineer OF
the c. & w. railroad. The occa-
sion justified it. for his wife and
family arrived and took up their
residence in our midst. With two
talented sons in the engineer cores.
and two lovely daughters to bless
his household. we predict and be-
speak for himself and his entire
family popularity III keeping
with their acknowledged deserts.
Mr.. Cornell stands at the very
head Of his profession, not because
he is the son of bon. Ezra Cornell
who founded the great Cornell Uni
5ut upon his merits alone,
and lie has the satisfaction OF
that his sons command
the confidence and respect Of bus
mess people who estimate them at
their true worth. The Free Press
welcomes them all into oar com
munity and assures them that NJ
better people on earth can be found
than in Rockingham county.

WHY THEY STRUCK.

~erRHnen Who Objected to Sitting Around
and Doing Nothing.
1t has been customary for many peo-
pie to consider the southern laborer as
SLOW, lazy and shiftless, yet writer In
engineering Magasine says that no
stranger could enter one of the mills
or pass day in the pine-timbcr woods
without being surprised by the vigor
with which work Is performed.
Work has become an instinct, the
laborer knows but four conditions
eating, sleeping, working and, after
Pay DAY, carousal, or absolute idle
ness.
A curious story of strife is told at
one OF the mills. The hours of labor
are long-from dawn to twilight. In
the winter the hours are fewer, but In
summer the saws are buzzing and the
whole community alive and at work
oeforethe sun has touched the tree tons.
northern foreman of philanthropic
principles took charge of certain
mill, and sorrowed within his heart for
the poor fellows wearing out their lives
with the cant-hook and saw. So he de-
creed that from seven o'clock in the
morning to six In the afternoon should
constitute the labor of day.
There was murmur In the camp,
and in two days there was general
strike. Called upon for reasons, tho
spokesman stated the case of the men,
We all JUS doan like dis var gwine
ter wuk at seben o'clock Wha's de
use OBJ sittin' aroun' fer two hours In the
mawnin' TO gwine to wuk? We JUS
ain gwine to stan 1t, OATS all"
so the strike was declared OFF by the
superintendent agreeing to allow all
hands to go to work at dawn and keep
at it IA long as they could see.

He Was Z Pluribus Unum Sort of n
Fellow.
1t would be we'll If oil jokes were as
innocent us one played by railroad
con ductor upon commercial traveller,
and related by tho traveller himself in
the Yankee Blade. He had left the
train ut little station, junction, on o
western branch road, where he was to
walt several hours for train going in
another direction. There was no one
In sight, and he was looking about in
homesick fashion, when the conduc-
tor spoke to him.
Dull place, amt it?" said the con-
ductor.
RATHER" answered the commercial
traveller, especially if you've got to
stay here four hours"
"Oh, well, you won't be without com
pany."
But I don't see my. Who are
they?"
WELL" said the conductor, speaking
slowly, as If he were reckoning them up
by process of recollection, there's
the telegraph operator, the booking
clerk, the cloak-room clerk, the signal
man, the storekeeper, the accident in
ouiohcc dSeh1, Inc postmaster, and one
or two other officials. You'll find 'em
inside the station"
THAT isn't so bad" the traveller
thought, and as the train started he en-
tered the door. The station was dimly
lighted. with no one In sight but a
sandy-haired man at the telegraph in
strument
where arc tho others?" asked the
traveller.
What othcrs?" answered the tele-
graph operator.
why, the cloalS-room man, the book
ing clerk, the postmaster and the rest. /"
The man began to grin.
oh, 1t is that conductor again." he
said.
We'll, where are theya' repeated the
traveller, with some asperity.
The sandy-haired man tapped him
self on the chest.
"Them's me-" he said. Come In and
sit with u.s."
And the traveller, apprcciating the
1oke-s sort Of pluribus unum re-
versed accepted tho invitation, and
found himself in pretty good company.

Tho Japanese Bathing Hon,

In Germany at one o'clock oil the
world Is taking an after-dinner smoke
or an after-dinner nap, and business,
even banking, Is suspended. In Japan
the bathing hour is before supper, and
between five and six o'clock every liv-
ing being is nude. The public baths
are crowded. at home children, Young
people and old people are in the tub,
getting in or getting out of the tub,
which is placed In the garden, in court
yards, shops or on the piazza, without
the least apology of q screen. If u Gus
toner appears the bather talks bust
ness over the water, and in private
families callers are neither abashed nor
embarrassing. In the humble quarters
the tubs are set on the threshold, and
neighbors on opposite sides of the street
gossip, chatter and exchange the most
amiablo greetings. The national towel
Is naniSin blue.
