MARSHALL, Feb. 90, 1S96.-Tbe
numerous friends of DR.. Bedford
Brown in Fauquier rejoice to learn
that by copartnership with DR.. NC,
CURE, jra., this eminent physician and
late surgeon of the Southern army will
have some help amid his arduous
duties. His professional brethren have
long regarded the doctor as most
worthy in name and accomplishments
to perpetuate ell ofthe memories, social
and medical, of DIR. Gustavus Brown, OF
Revolutionary fame. and to have
splendid mention made of him, slorg
with fine likeness, in volume luet
published. physicians and Surgeons OF
America" and also in another publica..
ton, eminent Men of the DislrlcS OF
Columbia and of Alexandria"
Apart from brief spells of cold
weather and The orthodox three freezes,
the record of the present season is that
our present winter is exceptionally mild.
The good church folks are at work
for the Mas er. There is at Marshall
prosperous Epw orth League and prayer
meeting: next Tuesday and Wednesday
an oyster festival will be held to raise
flu DIS in behalf of the Baptist Church,
8 d every Friday afternoon Lenten
5 rvices are held at the Episcopal
Church.
Frogs and English sparrows and the
mole have lately put in an appearance
as if to be the harbipgers of an early
spring.
In the way of literature and
news we have been kindly favor.
ed by friends with copies OF
volume 2, of official records of the
Union and Confederate navies in the
late war, report of the commissioner
of education for 1928, register OF
the navy and also report of the Surgeon
General DIR. James r. Tryop, all con.
tanning q deal of most interesting and
instructive reading.
A friend writing of Cuban affairs,
says: "The insurgents have destroyed all
the cane fields on the sugar plantations
in the vicinity Of Santiago and of Gaun-
tanamo, and no crop wiz be made this
year; at Los Canos, magnificent estate,
there is not cane standing and every
employee of the place has been dis
charged" The late proclamation of the
new Captain-General, the writer adds,
has caused thousands of Cubans to leave
the island, as the majority have broth
ers or sons among the insurgents, but
we have to bow with humble submis-
sion and say, Que ia volonte Sc passe,
mon Dieu ]"
The average small boy who is attend
ing our public and other schools in
Marshall, declares that he would pre-
fer to trudge through the snow rather
than the mud, though with gum boots,
he seems to make Roadway.

"And fitting was it that the speaker,

tion, should be the representative OF South
Carolina. Thrice now has South Carol'na
spoken for secession-when it passed, in
1882, the nullfcation ordinance when in
1861, it fired on Fort Sumter; when in
1896, it cries out: "A sectional issue and

The war OF class against class is upon

this can be given to the appeals to the

This is what the Tribune says. The OF.
ficers Of the Rutland railroad company,
upon the other hand, say that they never
applied o the Tribune for advertising space
upon any terms, but that May 12 very soon
after taking possession Of the road, they
received letter signed, "E. Thomas,
Editor and Manager Vermont Tribune" as
follows:
1.-The Central Vermont has Just ordered
the publication of the railroad time discon-
tinued. Do you wish the same published
in exchange for an annual pass over the
road? If SO please let us know what
changes you wish made"
The railroad officers say that they did
not grant this application but suggested
another arrangement, that negotiations con-
tinued for some months with no agreement
reached, and that meantime they sent "trip
passes" to Mr.. Thomas upon his applica
ton covering cash fares to the amount o.
almost $25; and that that is all they know
about the matter.
