Relief Committee has undertaken again
to minister TO the suffering poor OF our
city, and solicit subscriptions, no matter

can rest assured that their contributions

But while we are willing to undertake

do not propose 20 cultivate tramps who
come here from other cities. Therefore.
we have, after careful investigation and

Ho4ORS FOR GEN WHEELER

One of the men who has come out Of
the war with a good title to favor
is Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama,
Of ex- contederate fame. Gen. Wheeler
was one of the valiant fighters at San
tiago and at all times he has mani
tested a keen interest in the welfare
of the soldiers under his command.
The people of The entire nation are
glad to do honor 10 Gen. Wheeler and
all will rejoice at the esteem in which
he is held by the voters Of his state.
At the Democratic convention Of the
9Th congressional district of Alabama
on Saturday Gen. Wneeler was IMAM
imouslv nominated for congress for
the ninth term OF service. The uomi-
nation is equivalent TO an election.
but as a special honor to Gen. Wheeler
the Republicans and Populists OF the
district will decline to pat nominees
in the field in order that the Santiago
warrior NAV have the unanimous vO' <
OF his district. This is a graceful and
well deserved tribute to a good con-
gresham AMI a brave and efficient
commanding officer.

If by law the chief uses for which

pounds Of copper mined last year

Of silver that have been mined si"Ce

base metal: silver is a precious metal.
Its chief use for thousands of years
was for money. 1t is needed for that
purpose now more than ever before
