He ALWAYS DID HIS DUTY
SPEECH OF THE DUKE OF CAM
BRIDGE CAUSES 4 SENSATION.

He Denied the Charge That He Had OPP
posed All Changes That Had Been Sug-
gested In Connection With the Army-He
Filled the Position He Held to the Best
of His Ability.
London, Sept. 26.-The Duke of Cam
bridge. whoseretirementa as the command
er-in-chief of the forces was recently
announced, and who was succeeded by
Lord Wolesey, made long speech at
a luncheon given in his honor to-day in
Edinburgh. He began by referring to
the charge that he had opposed ali
changes that had been suggested in
connection with the army. This charge
he denied, maintaining that he had al
ways led in making changes that tend
ed to add to the efficiency of the Brit
ish troops. He said he regretted to
have seen latterly that a strong notion
family was not suited to the chief COM
mand Of the army. He held that a
royal person could be placed without
considering his degree in any position
for which he might be found to be fit
ted. He would not say that he was par
ticularly fitted for the position he had
filled for thirty-nine years. He filled
it as best he could, and had got more
than his share of the criticism that al
ways fell to great public officials.
When a member of the royal family
was found fit for his position, he con-
tinued, the public ought to be delighted
to see him so placed. If he had gone
about for thirty-nine years tWirling his
fingers and smoking cigarettes in the
streets of London the people would not
have thought much of him. He could
have gone on much longer working at
his post, but it had been thought advis-
able that others should follow him.
He only hoped that his successors would
end their careers feeling as much sentl-
ment toward their office as he exper-
ienced at that moment. He mad been
consoled by the knowledge that ne
had done his duty in such way that
the army and the whole country had
been satisfied A feature of the mon
archical principle was that those in the
highest positions besides doing their
duty to the state were bound to be use
full members of society. In accordance
with this rule he had never neglected
the civil duties falling to person in
his position.
The Duke of Cambridge was frequently
interrupted with cheers, and his speech
has caused sensation as an outspoken
valedictory.

BY TIE FOOT GUARDs.
Escort rendered to President Cleveland
The Atlanta Trip.

AHe fALiduth
Major Brown and the members Of the
Second Company of Governors Foot
Guards generally, are daily expecting a
letter from President Grover Cleveland
in reply to communication which was
addressed to him by the major.
October 21st is Connecticut day at At
will be there in all their glory. The
Wednesday following has been desig-
mated as Presidents Day." and Presi-
dent Cleveland has already signified his
intention to be there He Is expected
to leave Atlanta either on Wednesday
or Thursday after the exercises have
been completed.
Taking into consideration this fact,
Major Brown wrote letter last Sat
urday to President Cleveland which
was addressed to Gray Gables, tender
ing to him the services of the Second
Company of Governors Foot Guard as
an escort on his return from Atlanta to
Washington either on Wednesday or
Thursday.
That it will be eminently proper for
the president to have such an escort
is apparent and as far as can be learn
ed, no other company of uniformed men
have offered their services.
Major Brown stated in his letter that
the company could have their special
cars attached directly to the presidents 5
train or else they could follow in a
separate section. Either way would
be agreeable to the company.

FRIDAY: APR. IL. 1895.
WHY is 1T?

The people Of PowelPs Fort feel
very indignant towards the Post
Office Department on account OF
the neglect of their interest.
Dilbeck Is Post Office in the Fort
Valley about ~ miles from Wood
stock, the county seat. Residents
of that section complain that 1t
takes as long as six days for a
letter to reach Woodstock from
that Office. The mail from DilOeck
10 the county seat now goes to
Water Lick iu Warren Co., thence
on the Great Southern K. X. TO
Strssburg, thence by B. & o. K H.
to Woodstock . distance of about
- miles. Why it should so Often
be delayed on this route we are not
able to explain.
There are Ave post offices IN the
Fort Valley viz: E 18th, It. ID Ivids.
Carmel, Seven Fountains and
Dnbeck. Edith aud st. DAvids
are supplied from Edinburg, Seven
Fountains and Carmel from Wool
stock, and Dilbsck from Water
Lick. All these points could be
better supplied from Woodstock
The mail could be sent from Wood
stock to Gross Roads and thence
up aud down the Valley, and mai
matter could be sent to and re-
ceIved from Woodstock by all the
Offices IN ono day. One great ad
vantage is that the mail could no
be delayed by high water, as W.
have an excellent bridge on the road
from Woodstock to Seven FOln
tains. Petitions have been sent tC
the department and letters have
been sent to our representa- tive IL
Congress, but no attention scent
10 have been paid them.
