Major Mckinley correctly argues that q
law which closes our shops and factories
and makes labor idle reduces home con-
sumption Of farm products and naturally
reduces prices Mr.. Edward Atkinson, q

agrees IN this. He ssys=

The inspiring and unconquerable senti-
ment of this campaign is country first,
country last and country with stainless
honor all the time. The voice of the mis-
guided partisan is not needed. The voice
of patriotism strikes the one responsive
chord this year. The voice of prejudice
and hate is lost in the grand chorus of
peace and good win, national unity and
national integrity.

was completed last evening, and only

De added to make 1t ready for the open
ing.
The club was organized last March.
me plan, which was first proposed by
Mr.. a. Fl. CRANKY, sprung at nee into
favor. The membership limit of $50 has
been reached, almost as many more
applications are now before the board
OF governors. Ladies as well as gentle
men are admitted, and u proposition en-
towering the board of governors ITO ex-
tend the membership limit will shortly
be voted on by the club.
The new quarters of the organizati ton
are located directly on Hampton Roads,
three miles from the city. The club
house sets back from the B%owdoin's
Ferry road about one-half mile. and
a beautifully shaded driveway and cycle
path connects the house and roadway.
The building was erected by Messrs.
Meyers Il Company, after plans fur
nished by the club.
1t is a large single-story building,
l0ox100 feet. The front is built in the
shape OF a horseshoe, and u curved YER
anda runs around It. Inside Is u large
apartment which can be used as a ball
room. Around his apartment runs a
balcony for spectators. and thus the
entire floor can be devoted entirely to
dancing.
Stables and bicycle racks will be add
ed shortly, and in the lovely grove in
front of the house will be placed a fine
tennis court. A bowling alley will also
be an attractive feature.
There are several reception, lounEing
and dressing rooms where members can
make themselves comfortable, and feel
entirely at home. and around the big
open fireplace in winters to come will be
told many a merry Jest.
There is a windmill on Ihe premises,
and an abundance of excellent water.
Later on, 1t Is expected that a small
wharf will be built for the convenience
of the nautically inclined among the
members. The club will then be a de.
lightful objective point for q ride, a sail
or a row
The building Will probably be opened
during the first week In October. and a
dance will probably be given there on
he opening night.
The officers are as follows: Mr.. A. H.
Grandy, president; Mrs. Caldwell Har-
dy. first vice-president; MIR. John Ora
ham, second vice-president; Mrs. A. r.

A Successful Furniture Dealer.

Among the successful furniture deal
ers OF Norfolk is Mr.. John Willis, Jr.,
whose place of business is Nos. 1873. 1876
and LAT Church street. opposite st. Paul's
p. f. Church. Mr.. Willis has not been
in this city a very great while, but there
is one thing that can be said about
him. and that Is he has been successful
from he start. The secret of this is thai
he handles all classes of goods in his
line. is attentive to business, sells at n
living profit and hat lie Is surrounded
by polite and accommodating clerks.
His establishment IS one of the most
attractive in the city-the building is
three stories and every floor is filed
with goods selected with great care
and his elegant plate glass windows
never fail TO attract the attention of
all who pass that way. He carries every
thing usually found in a first-class fur
niture house. and it is doubtful if any
house in the State carries a better line.
In carpets, rugs. mating his assort-
ment is something fine, and the prices
are within the reach of all.
The fact is Mr.. Willis is building up
a fine business, and those who buy OF
bin once invariably continue patrons.
III you want a carpet or a suite of fur
ntture or a baby carriage just look over
his stock before purchasing. He will be
pleased 10 show o nat he has wheth-
er you buy or not, and II you do buy
he'll save you money. He is Offering
