Address to Va. Confederate Camps

AppomattoX Times.)
To the Confederate Veteran Camps OF
Virginia:
The opposition on the part OF some
of the camps of Virginia to the establish
ment of a national park In this county
has surprised and mortified the Vete-
rams who have organized the Appomattox
National Park Association.
We feel aggrieved that our old COM
rades should suspect that we favor any
move intended to reflect upon the Army
of Northern Virginia.
At the time the first conscript-act of
the Confederate Congress went into eff
feet, there were but nineteen of our
citizens liable to military duty not al
ready enrolled for active service. and the
survivors Of these volunteers are as
Jealous OF the honor OF the South as our
people showed themselves to be in 1861.
We are in favor of the establishment
of a national park on the battlefield in
this county; first, because we believe
II II is inaugurated with a proper spirit,
1t will tend to encourage kind feelings
between the people of the North and the
people Of the South and, second. because
many northern and western men who
will be induced to visit Virginia will have
the great advantage of climate. soil.
etc, OF the State forced upon their at
tention. and so prove "a potent factor In
inducing immigration 70 our borders.
The camps opposing our wishes are
doubtless moved by the fear that the
South VIII not be properly treated. In
this connection II must b. remembered
that the General Government will not
undertake the work until the State has
coded her rights in the lands required,
and we may confidently believe that
Legislature OF Virginia viii never cede
rights TO be used as IA reflection upon her
honor and glory.
The veterans OF this county take pride
IN every act OF the Army OF Northern
Virginia and its chief. and In none more
than their appearance uFon the field OF
ApDomnttox.
Respectfully. II. Il. POORE,
President Appomattox National Park As
sOcation

HEIF'ERS is STEERS
4 s BEEF .iNI.M4

Certain grad IS Of cattle which gener-
ally 90 at wide discount under prices
paid for good to choice beef steers are
selling unusually close at present. This
is due largely to the indications Of a
positive sh ortage i'll the supply for the
spring and early summer markets.
Stock cattle and well-inished helfers
are among those which now bring re-
lativeIy good prices vet the last named,
weight for weight, even though well
finished and attractive to the eye, even
never command figures as high
as those obtained for steers which
are only equally well finished and same
in weight. American Agriculturist
readers who are engaged in the cattle
industry andplace heifers onthe market
at Buffalo, Pittsburg and further west
can never quite understand why this
is so. The butchers and big beef pack
ers have brought things to such fine
point that there discrimination in
making purchases is very marked. A
chief reason why hiefers will not sell
quite as high us steers is because they
will not dress us much net to gross
In other words, they make less beef in
