PUBLIC SPEAKING.
Mr.. Beverly Davis of Franklin County
Spoke on Court Day.

On account of the bad weather on
Tuesday there was the smallest crowd in
town we have seen at a county court in
the past two years. On Monday a tele-
gram was received stating that Hon. Bev-
erly Davis, of Franklin county, would be
here to speak for the Republicans. The
trains were all late and as a result Mr..
Davis did not arrive until after 9 o'clock
and good many persons had already left
town. At about $50 o'clock it was an
nounced he would speak in the town hall
and crowd of about one hundred persons
assembled.
Mr.. Davis was introduced by VIM. c..
Pendleton and he spoke for about one
hour. His remarks were CHIEFLY address
ed to the Importance of electing General
Walker as our next representative in Con-
gress. He showed that it would be a
great mistake for the people of the Ninth
District to turn down as efficient represen-
tative as General Walker and send such q
man as Rhea to Congress, who would only
strive to play the part of an obstructionist
and do everything he could to embarrass
the Administration. He denounced in
vehement terms the character Of campaign
that Rhea is making, the discussion of
General Walkers individual political re-
cord, rather than discussion of the issues
that divide the two parties.
Mr.. Davis was very severe in condem
nation of the Virginia election law. He
knows how the Democrats in the Fifth
District have utilized the opportunities af-
forded by the Walton law to count Re-
publican candidates out. He told his
hearers how the Democrats in that dis
trict referred to the Republican party as
the negro party when they knew that the
five white counties in the district were car
ried by the Republicans, and the county
of Piitsylvania, with thirteen hundred
negro majority, was counted for Bryan and
Swanson by majority of about sixteen
hundred
Mr. Davis is advertised to speak to-day
at Cove Greek and tomorrow at Bailey's
on Bluestone. He is very earnest Re-
publican and most worthy gentleman.

Hansbarger-Peery,

A pretty wedding was solemnized on
Oct. 18th, in Wartburg Chapel, at Gra-
ham, Va, when Mr.. William Henry
Hansberger and Miss Anna Salome PeeiY
were made man and wife. The chapel
was tastefully decorated with evergreens
and frightened by potted and cut flowers.
While Mendlesshon's Wedding March was
heing rendered by Miss Jessie Groseclose,
of Ceres, the bridal party entered, pie.
ceded by two little girls, Misses Sallie
Peery, sister of the bride, and Henrietta
Peery, niece of the bride. They were at
tired IN white with pink and blue sashes;
and, after marching up the main aisle,
separated in front of the altar and, going
to the right and left, held open gates
formed Of evergreens, underneath arches
of the same.
Then came the bridal party as follows;
Messrs. ]. w. Crockett and w. NJ. Frazier
followed by j. G. Peery and the maid of
honor, Miss Rose Hansbarger, attired in
blue cloth suit, carrying lovely bunch
of Brides maid Roses. Then came the
bride. in beautiful blue and white travel
ing suit, leaning on the arm of her father,
Capt. Thos. Peery; and carrying an ex-
quisite boquet of Brides Roses. Entering
from the opposite side of the chapel, came
the bridegroom and his best man, MIR.
Charles j. Hansbarger. The bridal party
formed group underneath large arch at
the center of the altar, where Rev. G. w.
CasselI, the brides cousin, and also her
pastor, performed the sacred ordinance,
using the beautiful and solemn marriage
service of the Lutheran Church.
When the last of the bridal party had
reached the altar the Music changed to
"The Sweetest Story Ever Told" which
was played during the entire service, and
was changed again to the wedding march
when the benediction was pronounced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hansbarger were then ac-
companied to the station by large num-
Der of friends, where they boarded the
eastbound train for northern cities, fol-
lowed by showers of rice and the best
wishes of many friends.
The high esteem in which the couple is
held by their many friends was shown by
the large number of beautiful and valuable
presents received; consisting of much costly
silverware, lamps, rugs, pictures, china
ware, furniture, etc.

HEAVY WIND STORM.
Much Damage Done In a Few Hours.

On Monday afternoon wind storm
from the southeast began to blow, and by
dark it had grown quite severe, increasing
in intensity during the night. 1t is a rare
thing for the people of Tazewel to hear
the wind blow as it did on Monday night.
1t howled and beat upon the houses with a
fury that dispelled all inclination to sleep
by those who are of nervous constitu-
ton. When daylight came it was found
that the tops of trees had been blown off,
but no buildings in town were damaged.
Out in the country the farmers had suffered
damage by having their hay stacks blown
down and the shocks of corn blown down
and scattered Tuesday but very little
could be done by the farmers to repair the
damage, but on Wednesday they were

Make Honest Money Secure.

Hartford "Courant" (Rep)l
An epidemic Of apathy among the Re
publican voters this Fall might easily
mean the election of a Democratic House
of Representatives. Suppose that calam-
ity occurs. Europe will jump at once to
the conclusion that the American people
have changed their minds about the war
and have condemned and repudiated the
policy of President Mckinley. Spain will
rejoice and take courage. Every illwisher
of the country, every secret enemy, will
be emboldened. Our peace commissioners
at Paris will notice a sudden and chilling
change in the atmosphere. Their mission
will become vastly more difficult, if not
impossible. Here at home we may look
for a renewal of the efforts for vicious
financial legislation, fresh disturbance of
public confidence and another long paraly-
sis of business. Nothing of all this is
necessary. No calamity will befall US II
the voters throughout the country who be-
lieve in President Mckinley and the main
tenance of the gold standard 60 to the
polls on election day. One Of the old
Scotch families took for its motto, 81
make secure" That is good motto for
every Connecticut Republican, and for
every other Republican, this Fall. He
NAV think that his vote isn't needed and
wouldn't be missed, but to the extent OF
that one vote he can do his part toward
making secure.

MADRID KNEW.

BY those who are in position to know,
it is asserted that the Madrid government
was aware when it asked for peace and
when negotiations were opened that it was
useless to ask that the Cuban debt he
taken into consideration by any commits
sion, and that it is only since the reports
of the bad condition of the United States
army have reached Madrid that the ques-
ton has been raised
Another matter that causes grave con-
sideration in the War Department is the
temper of the Spaniards in Cuba and the
fear that the impression which now pre-
walls there may lead them to regard the
American troops of not much account and
act accordingly after the occupancy by the
United States. The matter has been dis
cussed in the War Department and it is
probable that when the troops are sent to
Cuba, there will be g force of such size
and character as to give the islanders a
different impression of United States SOL
diers than they nuw entertain.
"The impression among the Spaniards
in Cuba" said an officer in position to
know what is going on, "is that the Amer
ican soldiers are weak and incapable OF
withstanding hardship, and whom it will
be an easy matter to vanquish. This feel
ing may make it difficult for the Amer
leans at first. This impression is due to
the charges that have been made against
the War Department with such virulence
and insistence during the past few
months"

Washington, October l7.-Informaton
has reached the War Department that a
high officer of the Spanish army very re-
Gently made a statement that had the
Spaniards been aware of the condition OF
the American army, its inability to with
stand the hardship Of campaign, its
lack of medical and other supplies and
general inefiiciency as told in the Ameri-
can papers, the Spaniards would not have
given up but would have continued fight
ing for a long time to come, fully believing
that they would have been able to prevent
the capture of Cuba by American arms.
This statement is known to have been
made to the American officers in Cuba
and causes some uneasiness in official
circles, as it may mean that the Spaniards
are not yet ready to yield the island under
the terms Of the protocol.
1t is believed by officials in Washington
that had it not been for the outcry made
regarding the army and the conduct of the
war, there never would have been any
question raised by the Spanish peace COM
missioners regarding the Cuban debt. 1t
is pointed out that under the protocol, the
sole question left for the commission was
the settlement of the Philippines, and that
nothing was said about the Cuban debt or
any other Cuban question.

THE CEREMONY.
BROOKE.

San Juan, Porto Rico, October l8.-
Promptly at noon today the American
flag was raised over San Juan. The cere-
mony was quiet and dignilied, unmarried
by disorder of any kind.
The Eleventh Regular Infantry, with
two batteries of the Fifth Artillery, landed
this morning. The latter proceeded to
the forts, while the infantry lined up on
the docks. 1t was holiday for San Juan,
and there were many people on the
streets.
Rear Admiral Schley and General Cor
doe, accompanied by their staffs, pro-
ceeda to the palace in carriages. The
Eleventh Infantry Regiment and band,
with Troop H, of the Sixth United States
Cavalry, was then marched through the
streets and formed in the square opposite
the palace.
At II. 40 a. NJ, General Brooke, Ad-
miral Schley and General Gordon, the
United States evacuation commissioners,
came out Of the palace with many naval
officers and folmed on the right side of
the square. The streets behind the SOL
diers were thronged with people, who
stood waiting in dead silence. At last the
city clock struck the hour of y, and the
crowds, almost breathless and with eyes
fixed on the hagpole, watched for develop
ments.
At the sound of the first gun from Fort
Moro, Major Dean and Lieutenant Castle,
of General Brooke's staff, hoisted the stars
and stripes, while the band played the

GUESTS OF THE RED GROSS

There is no day of rest for the ladies of the Red Cross. Visiting hospitals, comforting the sick and supplying the many wants of the boys in blue in these busy war times gives them very little time for recreation. Yesterday 1500 sol diers, representing Camp Merritt and Presidio, visited the ferry hospitality rooms of the society and were refreshed with delicious coffee, sandwiches and fruit. Many occupied the long tables penning letters to loved ones at home, and many read of their comrades already in the field. Letters left with the ladies were properly stamped and sent on to their destination.
 The committee has prepared cheer for the 450 Washington volunteers who are expected in to-day. Mrs. I. Lowenberg, chairman of the hospitality committee, asks that generous hearted people send bread, butter, coffee and sugar to the ferry, as many hundred soldiers visit the rooms daily and are the guests of the society.
