We have the most complete ccal yards

enough to keep all our coal supply thor

coal yards are supplied with the only
coal dump used for such purpose in the

unload our coal with shovels, and thus
cause the Jumps to fracture and soon
disintegrate to slack, but on the con-
trary it is preserved in solid Jumps and
thus delivered to the consumers. Our ar
rangcments for storing, handling, pro-

a COOL RECEPTION.

Capt. John ii. Wright, the high priest
of the goldbugs, left yesterday on Il cam
paign tour through Bedford county He
was billed to speak ut Montvalc in the
afternoon, and on his arrival there went
into Williams store, and asked the pro-
prictor who the gold men are at that
place. Mr.. Williamson told him that If
there were any i'll that section he did not
know it. The captain then informed sew
eral by. ISLANDERS that he was going to
make IL gold speech and invited them to
walk over to the hotel porch, from
which he would speak. He was informed
that they were not anxious to hear the
question discussed from that standpoint
rs they had already made up their minds.
At last one McKinlcyite was found who
consented to give him a respectful hear
ing, but the others would not bulge an
inch The captain was not at all ut home
among Bedford turner's, who had posted
themselves on the political situation and
who were at this time doing their own
thinking, so he, in company with another
gentleman, got into their buggy and
drove off in the direction of Thaxtons,
amid loud cheering for Bryan, where it is
supposed he spoke last night 1t is to be
hoped for the captains peace of mind
that he may get Il few hearers out to
his speechS, hut the people of the rural
districts are not at all in sympathy with
such a movement. The ''horny- handed"
tillers Of the soil know that the gold
standard is not to their interests. While
many of them think, doubtless, the cleo
ton of Mckinley will best subscrvc the
interests of the nation and will vote that
way, they are honest in it, but the great
masses will vote for Bryan and free sill
yer. One thing is sure, they want no
dccoy business, and the advocates of the
dccoy ticket will soon find it out in the
country districts
