southern soldier which causes the heart
to throb with patriotic emotion when
americas interests are at stake, or
Americas honor assniled. The policies
aud purposes of united country would
be defended by him with the courage
for which he was greatly distinguished
in the past, and should hostile bayo-
net, by land or sea, be pointed at the
country's breast, three million men,
if necessary, would spring to arms and
to victory. The Southern, or rebel con-
tingent if you please (for rather like
the term), the sons and grandsons of
the veterans of to-day would be
found battling in the foremost ranks,
pouring out their blood for the repub-
lie as freely and as courageously as
their fathers fought to make two re-
publics grow on this continent where
one grew before" Speaking of the
unrest in this country, Consul General
Lee said EVERY thoughtful observer
of the public events must see the ma
tional disquiet which has assumed more
imposing proportions than ever before
in the country's history. The United
States should not march around with q
chip on the shoulder challenging all
comers to knock it off, The bugle
that sounds the trumpet note of war
will be welcomed by thousands of the
unemployed, by those who expect to
make money out of war, and by many
who hope that amid the fire and smoke
OF the carnage of bloody battlefields, in
some way, not clearly comprehended,
some relief or some change will be
made in their future conditions. The
public man VINO makes war of words
loudest and fiercest is not the real hero
and statesman who should be wrapped
closest to their hearts"

1t is a waste of time to talk
about these Waists, and we
wouldn't have a word to say if
you would know of their pres
ence here without.
We can't tell half the story.
The Waists are better than
words and more convincing.
You will agree with us when
you see them.
If you want the sweetest
Waists in town see these. A
distinction and a difference
Our Shirt Waists are distinctly
different from Shirt Waists as
you commonly meet them; a
trif1e finer, a little neater, a
slight difference in tile form,
sleeves hang a little better,
collar fits a little better. All
of these differences are in our
favor. Each a trihe in itself,
makes a big difference in the
waists, however.
You will admit it when you
purchase one of ours at 49c,
74c, SOC or CSC. We have al
so a nice line of all kinds Of
Silk in waist patterns from 55c
per yard upwards.
Don't forget about the

LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette.
BUSH HILL, April 30.-The regular
monthly meeting of the mite society
connected with the Pohick Episcopal
Church, came off last Friday evening,
and owing to the threatening rain, the at
tendance was not as large as on a
former meeting. The social part is es-
pecially a pleasing feature of these
gatherings from time to time, while 81
select programme adds greatly TO its
interest. We regret our inability to be
present but thank those for what is here
given.
At historic and veperated Pobck
Church, celebrated as the place where
Washington worshipped, and yes
try of which he was member, was
gathered large concourse Of people on
Sunday evening last, the occasion being
that of the preaching of the anniyer-
sary sermon to Accoiink and Crescent
Lodges, l. o. o. F., of Accotink and
Lorton. The members of the two
lodges formed outside the church,
and entering in body were greeted
with an appropriate selection by the
cnoir as they filed up the aisles aud oc.
cupied the seats which had been re-
served for them, Miss Agnes Kloman,
the orgauist, presided with her accus
toned Skill. Rev. S. A. Wallis, of the
Theological Seminary, former rector OF
the church, and member of Crescent
Lodge, officiated in the pulpit and de
livered an instructive and appropriate
address from the words, "To do good
and to communicate forget not, for with
such sacrifices God is well pleased" :"
1t was an impressive scene, especially
to stranger and Virginian. This
fraterna gathering of the neighbors OF
Washington, the earnest words and
tones of the minister, the sprightly
spirit stirring music, together with the
hallowed associations which cling TO
this sacred old building, dear to every
American, all combined to produce upon
the mind an effect not soon TO be tor
gotten. May the old church prosper
as also the brethren Of the two traterni-
ties, and may your correspondent be
present at their next anniversary meet
ing. $50 mote it be-"
On Tuesday evening week, the 18th
of May, there will be given at the pub
lie school building at Franconia an
elaborate and beautiful May cantata,
in which IS or 0young ladies will take
part, giving an ideal reality of how
charming each one will appear deslg-
mated by the name of some lovely
flower. Some famed one of the num-
Der will be crowned as queen. We
learn from one of the young ladies that
this cantata will occupy at least two
hours in its rendition and all will be
well repaid by giving it their presence.
The admission is placed at low figure,
and it should be greeted by large
audience, as the proceeds are for the
benefit of Olivet Episcopal Church.
They may probably repeat it later at
Hearst Hall, near Pohick Church, and
we bespeak for them the generous pa
tronago of those in that vicinity.
