FOR UNION pRINCIpLEs.

At Il well.attendeu meeting on Sunday
afternoon Il temporary organization was
effected of the Southwest Virginia Trade
and Labor Council. Six labor unions
We're represented and the followin" tenn
porary officers were elected: G. +. Gray,
Typographical Union, president; Mr..
Mccormick, Machinists' Union, vice.
president; Mr. Bell. Firemen's Union.
treasurer; Il. a. Nunan, Typographical
Union. guard. a committee was APP
pointed to inform other unions of the
existence of the council and have them
elect delegates to the same. perma-
nent organization Of the council will be
effected Mt n meeting to be held on the
last Sunday of this month, the 31st. Six
unions were represented Mt the Sunday
meeting, as follows: Typographical,
Dlacksmiths, Boiler Makers, Firemen's,
Machinists' and Iron Moulders. The OBJ
ject of this council is two. fold, viz: Pro-
lection to the members Of the various
labor unions and protection to the mer-
chants and all concerns who handle eXclu
sively union made goods and who employ
union labor. A systematic, legal cam
paign will be waged against non union
concerns, stores, corporations, etc, and
as the delegates composing this council
will be representatives of about 1900
men, it is expected that much good will
result To those who will promise to han
die union goods alone. Especially will
the fight be urged against all employees of
pom union labor. The council confidently
expects to make its.inhuence felt in every
avenue of trade. No bull doing tactics
will he employed, and every step taken
will be fully within the law. The entire
secret of the power Of the council and the
men it will represent will be this one
point: That no union man will patroniZe
any merchant, concern or corporation
who will not handle union made goods or
employ exclusively union labor In con-
nection with this movement the Circle
Check" will he inaugurateh and pushed
10 II successful issue. This system will
not only help the merchants wEo adopt
it, hut it will also help the various unions
of the city. 1t is said that those mer-
chants who refuse to adopt it will lose the
trade of the large body of union men rep
resented by this council

A Richland subscriber requests us
to reproduce in our columns the fol-
lowing incident which appeared orig
inally in the New Orleans Pcnyune,
uuder the above caption:
"The Drinkers" group of well
dressed young men with plenty. Of
money, were standing at the bar, when
II poor, miserable specimen OF tramp
pushed open the swinging doors, and,
with bleAred eyes, looked 1T them
appealingly. They ordered drink for
him, paid for it and then bOisterOusly
demanded that he make d speech.
After swallowing the liquor, the tramp
gazed on them for an instant, and then,
with q dignity and eloquence that
showed how far he had fallen in the
social scale, he began 20 speak.
Gentlemen" he said, II look to-
night at you, and at myself, and 1t
seems to me, look upon the picture Of
my Lost manhood. This bloated face
was once as young and handsome as
yours. This shambling figure once

and ministered before it, and put out

tion reigned in its stead. had

broke and bruised their beautiful wings,
and at last strangled them that might

out home to call his own, man in
whom every good impulse is dead. All,
all swallowed up in the maelstrom Of
drink"
The tramp ceased speaking, the glass
fell from his nerveless fingers, and
shivered into thousand fragments on
the floor. The swinging doors pushed
open and shut to again, and when the
little group about the bar looked up,
the tramp had gone. He had gone out
into the dark December night to
wander, no doubt, till dawn, but he, an
outcast though he was, had made an
impression. They felt that they had

THE Texu Of Nosood.

My friends have you heard Of the town Of
NOgoOd,
On the banks OF the River Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair:
Where the SOmetimeOrother scents the air.
And the soft GOeasys grow?
1t lies In the valley Of Whatstheuse,
In the province Of Lotersiide;
That tired feeling Is native there.
It's the home Of the reckless IdOn tcare,
Where the Giveitups abide.
The town II as old rs the human race,
And 1t grows with the flight Of wears.
Il is wrapped In the fog Of ldlers' dreams.
Ito streets are paved with discarded schemes
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The C0llegebredfo0l and the Richman sheir
Are plentiful there, no doubt;
The rest Of It's Gro sd are a motley crew
With every class except one tn view
The fOOlkiller is barred out.
The town Of Nogood Is all hedged about
BY the Mountains Of Despair,
No sentinel stands on its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
My friends, from the dead-alive town Nog00d
IT you would keep far away,
just follow your duty through good and I'LL,
Take this for your motto, Il cam will
And live up to It each day New Hdren Regisftr.
