A Monument to cornoraI RYAN.

There was meeting in the law office
of Ker & Kerr last week of number
of citizens and members of Co. K. End
Va Regiment at which they agreed to
make an effort to. erect monument to
Corporal Chas. w. Ryan who died at
Camp Cuba Libre and who was the
only member of the company to die
during the time the company was in
service. 1t is the intention of those
who have taken active charge of this
enterprise to make personal solicitation
for subscriptions and to ask the public
generally to voluntarily contribute.
The object is such meritous one that
it readily appeals to all of the people of
the community, and there is no doubt
that it will be heartily responded to. If
possible the monument will be erected
at once, and when the company returns
to Richmond on the 22nd of October to
be mustered out, it will be marched by
the grave and under military burial
rule fire salute over the grave of their
dead eomrade. 1t is therefore desired
that all contributions come in prompt
ly Captain R. 5. Ker and Sergeant
Dennis Brown will re csive personally
these contributions, unless others
should be subsequently appointed, and
to prevent imposition their names will
be announced through the press. Per-
sons wishing to contribute can also
leave their contributions at the store of
WITT, Burke & Co. and R. N. Blackford
& Co., who are the authorized agents of
the committee. AS no very great length
of time remains in which to select the
monument and put it in place before
the company leave, it is the hope of the
committee that contributions will be
promptly aud quickly made.

DAUGHTER OF Confed racv.

Atlanta, &c., Sept. % 1T was with
some surprise that the claims OF Mis-
Lucy Lee Hill to the title of the
Daughter of the Confed'rary was
read here, where Miss Caroline Gordon
daughter of Gen. John b. Gordon. COM
mander-in-chief of the United Confed-
crate Veterans, was suppose to be one
in line. Miss Gordon's friends will
antagOnize the claim of Miss Hill.
The title went to Miss Winnie Davis
upon the initiative OF Gen. John B.
Gordon, because she was born amid the
wreck OF the COnfederacy. A kindred
claim was set up for Miss Gordon that
she was born 1877. when troops were
withdrawn from the South and a new
Ella of peace begun. Her name was
conferred upon her by the South Caro-
lima Democrats in recognition OF her
father having acted in the United
States Senate as their spokesman.

A telegram from Bryan, Texas, an
nounce the death of Colonel Briscow
| G1rard Baldwin.
Colonel Baldwin was gallant soldier
in the Confederate army, and served
through the war as chief of ordnance
on General r. E. Lees personal staff.
He was originally an officer in the Uni
| ted States army, and for some time
prior to the ar was stationed off the
| Pacific coast He, however, resigned
his commission when Virginia-his ma
tive State-seceded from the Union,
and cast his lot with the South
Deceased was born in StauntOn about
70 years ago, and prior to his departure
for Texas was very well known here.
He went to the Lone Star State not
very long after the surrender and was
occupied there as civil engineer until
some years ago his health failed him,
and since that time he has been engag-
ed in no business.
Colonel Baldwin never married, but
he Was brother of Colonel John B.
Baldwin and Mrs. Alexander H. FL.
Stuart, and is survived by three nieces
-Mesdames Hunter Mcclure, robert
A. Gibson, and Alexander Robinson.
1t had not been decided last night
whether his body would be brought here
or not.
Colonel Baldwin was desperately
wounded in the Peninsula campaign,
and at times suffered terribly from the
effects of his wound. He was man of
the most generous impulses and of the
highest sense of honor. Old United
States army officers will remember that
while Colonel Baldwin was stationed on
the Pacific Slope lie became involved in
difficulty with John Phoenix, the
trouble growing out of one of the lat
ter's ridiculous sketches, in Which the
humorous writer made Colonel Baldwin
figure, though not by name. The mat
ter was settled by mutual friends
but there came very near icing d duel.
Colonel Baldwin in his maturer years
used to laugh heartily over the whole
affair, and declare that Phoenix's pic
ture was not OVerdrawn.

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati rice-Current OF last
Thursday says
| The conditions att. Iding autumn SOW
ing of wheat have continued favorable
In some districts in the central regions
excessive moisture has temporarily re
tarded seeding operations, but for the
most of the area the work is far advanc-
ed, and much of the crop has germipat-
ed nd is markings good start in growth.
There is some fear that the recent
warmth may be promOtive of insect life
to the detriment of the wheat plant, but
this is condition not yet really reached.
A decided gain IN area is assured. To
some extent seeding has evidently been
done with poor quality of grain, and
this may prove unfortunate in results.
1t is difficult as yet to calculate the ex-
tent of such conditions.
Nothing has occurred to disturb the
situation of the corn crop. A large part
of the crop is not only mature but cut
with view to seeding the ground to
wheat OF to securing the stalks for fod-
der. or both. No appreciable influence
of an unfavOrable nature to the crop can
now result from frost OF freezings. The
reasonable Interpretation to be given to
available evidence with regard to Yield
of this grain makes itappear likely that
the government data are suggestive of a
lrrger production than final results will
justify.
