CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
The Sixth Annual Reunion Will Be
Held at Richmond, Virginia,
Next July.

To the United Confederate Veterans Every
where:
RICHMOND, VA, March %, 1885,
Your Sixth Annual Reunion will be
held at Richmond, Virginia, on the
30th of June, 1st and End days of July
next.
Widely scattered since the war by
the ties of family and old-time fire.
sides, by the demands of business, by
your natural energies, and by the ne
cessities OF life, you are coming home
home to the city which is yours by
the supreme tests of the rain of fire
through which you went, and of the
sea of blood through which you pass
ed, on the mission of her and the
common defence. You have been no
prodigal sons, for you inherited only
the remnants of rapacious ravage
that was rampant everywhere in your
land; because you had nothing left
but the manhood from which you
were inseparable. But the fatted calf
shall be killed for you, and We shall be
merry together, not because of pity
for your sins, but because pride in
your fame demands.
You shall traverse again the streets
which thrilled to the tread of your
legions while they were passing to the
ranks of the best army that the world
ever knew.
You shall be confronted by the Vir-
ginians who were the comrades of
your immortal glory and who are your
brothers forever.
You shall see again the women who
nursed you back to vigor from the
feebleness of wounds and want, from
the wretched woe of your losses, and
who pointed the dying gaze of your
fellows to the heaven which stopped
to enfold them.
Your eyes shall behold for them
selves the city which proudly wrap
ped herself in your patriotic flames,
from which she has emerged thing
of beauty and a Joy for always.
You shall revisit the battlefields
which have been consecrated by your
blood, and where, if you lost your
country, you found a fame that fills the
world.
Heartily helped by our city and her
citizens, we are building for you a
place of reunion in which ten thous-
and OF you may make the welkin ring
to the music of Dixie and to the cho-
rus of the Rebel yell.
On some appropriate day of the Re-
union you shall be part and parcel of
the rearing of that monument which
shall be to Jefferson Davis, not merely
because he was your President and
dwelt as such in the capital of your
Confederacy, but because he was the
unspeakable type of that ineffable
manhood which made the armies of
| the South.
| During your stay here there will be
many a bivouac, where, not in brav-
ado or disloyalty, but for sweet mem
ory's sake, will be sung over again
the old songs, told over again the old
tales, fought over the old fights, yell
ed again the old yell, and raised again
the old flag.
| Come, then. Come TO our hearts
and homes and to these bivouacs. Be-
fore we pass the great beyond we
ought to have one more bout and
toast together. The toast shall be to
our own memories and to our Confed-
crate comrades wherever they may
be; but it shall carry along with it a
brave blessing for our fellow citizens
everywhere, a determined devotion
to the safety, honor and welfare OF
the entire country.
PEYToN WISE,
Chairman.

Was It a PODulIst2

''During the last campaign one
day." said Howard, the Populist mem
ber of Alabama, 81 went up to the top
of considerable mountain to see a
hunter by the name of Bill Sanders to
secure his vote. Bill was not at home
but his wife was, a tall, lean, bony
woman, with dusky black hair, hollow,
colorless cheeks and sunken eyes,
large mouth, large feet and yellow
hands. In one hand she held box of
snuff, in the other tooth brush, and
she was splitting amberique."
"Good morning, madam L said.
"How are you, stranger?'' said
she.
sis your husband at home, my good
woman"
"No, he haint. He went down in
Coon Holler this mornin' before day
and haint lookin' for him back until
toward midnight"
"Well," madam, continued, 81 am
a candidate for Congress and hope you
will use your influence to get your
husband to vote for me. 1 know that
a woman of your intellect, your beau
tiful eyes that shine like the dew drops
on the mountain top, when the light
of the morning sun first strikes it;
your fresh rosy cheeks which the gods
would kiss as nectar, and your entire
charming personality say woman
endowed by nature would have a
great influence over her husband, for
he was indeed fortunate to secure you
for wife,
''Law me, now, stranger" ex-
claimed the woman, ':when you comes
talkin' that way, and bein' as how 1
likes your looks anyway, l guess if
Bill Sanders don't vote for you he
needn't never expect to roost around
these diggins' no more"
l was much pleased with my pro-
gress and l ventured to put the ques-
ton of most Importance to me. care
there any Populists in this vicinity?"
asked.
"Dear me, stranger" she answered
s'you are a little mite too hard for me
this time. You see, don't pay much
attention to them things, but Bill is
mighty pert hunter and has killed and
skun almost all kinds of varments in
these mountains, but whether he ever
coch one O. them air, what do you call
it, stanger? Populist varmints-it's
more'n I know. II you'll just step
around to the backside of this house
where he's got all his pelts hangin' up
dryin', you may find one o. them
things, for yesterday he killed one of
the dodgastedest critters l ever see.
1t had long legs and Dandy shanks, was
long haired and cross eyed, and jest
bet pound of home made tobacker
it was a populist, though | never
hearn tell O. one before.'

IT is an old saying that you have to
go away from home to get the news
and the following from Centralia, Mo,
to the st. Louis Republic will be news
to the readers of the LEDGER:
CENTRALIA, Mo-, March 29. a
school district few miles north of
Centralia in Audrain County has been
canvassed and the surprising fact is
ascertained that only three voters in
the entire district are willing to par
ticipate in the Democratic primaries
to be held in Audrain County. The
farmers say they propose to stand
aloof from any party and to be free to
vote as they may deem to their best
interests at the general election.

offering at the primary. Every Dem
ocrat in the county should vote for
the best men for office. When vi
vote for nominees for county offices
we very often vote for people we
would not entrust to look after our
own business. A public officer is a
servant of the people and is paid a
salary for his work. No Democrat
should vote for man to hold public
office that he wouldn't trust to look
after his own private interests. Don't
entrust county or State business to a
man you wouldn't trust to keep your
own books or attend to your own pri-
yate business.
