Representative, was present, and the con-

unanimously in favor of cooperation
with the Democrats in elections next fall,
looking to II general cooperation in the
presidential election of 1900 There was
no opposition manifested to the plan
which was proposed and adopted This
plan is for the three parties to co-onerate
in support OF the candidates of each for

There was also unanimous eA preston

We have felt sure all our lives that
there was something wrong IN the YER
diet that attributed ugly tempers to red
headed people Our own observation
never warranted the &C mel usion, and now
that the occult science of palmistry is
b.ing superseded by that of hair study
in estimating character, we are glad TO
find that in all the manifold shadinrs
there is meme that ranks so nigh as that
OF red. Constancy, intellectually, sweet.
ness of disposition, and fxeduess of pur.
pose are few of the many attributes
gwen the fortunate possessor of red hnIr
1t makes Que sad to think of those who
have gone to their graves, misunderstood
all their lives, on account of the false
idea that has always obtaiscd regarding
red-beaded people. Next to this favored
color comes that of lead black, but all
virtue is lost should it not be inclined to
''crimpiness."

No class of men is subjected to more
danger than those who compose our city

face danger and death with more hero

fatally injured, is only another item in Il
long list of such fatalities. It is only in

From the small number of votes polled
at Saturday nights primary one might
very well conclude that Roanokers were
thinking of anything else rather than
local politics. 1t seems hard Tor people to
