large standard MILL with all appliances
and with the first in liberal prices with
Staunton quotations for wheat. L. w
| Kciner is the man of business there.
He is very fond of calls from producers.
ALI these mills are local wheat markets
and are on the Shenandoah division
| railroad.
The proprietor of two mills near We
suvius station on the Shenandoah di-
vision and Raphine Oh the Valley rail-
] road we learn are also buyers Of wheat
with growing prospects in the shipping
trade.
The new and superbly established
mill at Buena Vista has just entered
into business, with rapidly increasing
custom, will soon enter into the trade
fully, where localmarket must rapidly
come into existence.
The establishments along the ohen-
andoah division of the earliest dates
have already established n good trade
south AS far out as Salem Winston and
beyond.
We are not fully posted in reference
to the custom of other mills in the
county which have secured the new
process for making flour. There are
the Rockbridge Mills, of Jacob Beard
near Lexington, the old and well known
establishment on Timber Ridge, owned
by our estimable friend and popular
Sheriff, Thomas A. Sterrett, and near
Brownsburg the long known mills of
Meetings., who are strong wheat buyers.
Had these latter named gentlemen the
facilities of their brother millers on the
Norfolk and Western line and thus hav-
ing daily opportunity of taking place
in the supply of the country south where
tobacco and cotton are the staple crops,
new trade in the exchange of commodi- |
flies of different ATTITUDES would stir |
le W power through the fine farming
country of Hays Greek. This is an |
elegant section of Rockbridge and de-
rrves modern and well established lines |
If communication to the markets of the |
country.
This section of country is several
niles from the Valley railroad from
which there is another and different
inc before reaching the Shenandoah
livision at Buena Vista.
Not only in flour but also in com
neal there are large markets at Rich
nond, Martinsville, Salem Winston and
he smaller commercial centers on this |
ne along the valleys of the Pigg, MayoIi
ninth and Dan rivers Of Virginia and
IOrth Carolina in which it would be

1cClung Mills have O share.

Gen. Lew Wallace has been chal-
lenged to fight duel. 1t comes about
because the General, while entertaining
friends at Lincoln banquet, said that
President Lincoln when about to leave
for Harrison's landing said to Wallace
81 must go there to keep Mcclellan
from surrendering the army" 1t was
after the seven days battle and the
leader OF the great army was retreating
before the great confe1erates. IN
thirty minutes Lincoln was on board the
boat, speeding away on his mission, i" said
General Wallace. THE next | heard
OF Lincoln he was at Harrison's Land
ing and the Union army was not sur
rendered" Geo. E Oakes of Indianapo-
lis, served as private under Mcclellan
in company K, First Michigan Infantry,
and Genounces the charge as, false,
and wants to fight Gen. Wallace with
anything from Drawn to bowie knives.
He insists that the honor of the branch
of the army commanded by Mcclellan
has been assailed, and since the General
is dead the attack upon his courage by
General Wallace, can only be atoned
for by the spilling of the iatters blood.

The action of the Centennial Com
mission is not in accord with the wishes
of the people OF the State of Ohio, and
should not be given any consideration.
The Commission recommended the
building of library building in Colum-
bus to be Centennial memorial build
ing. When it is made known that
Columbus will not even offer the
ground for the building nor contribute
one dollar towards its erection, and
that the Commission recommends an
expenditure of one million, one hum
dred aud ten thousand dollars for that
purpose, only to beautify Columbus, it
would seem that the Commission Tor
the four members who originated the
scheme) have a very narrow view OF
the proper celebration Of the Centen-
nial of the grandest State OF the Union.
How such a thing would add lustre to
the fair name OF Ohio! How the mil.
lions of people would flock to Columbus
to view the grand and imposing monu-
ment to the lofty ideas of those -four
peanut patriots who were the majority
of the Commission! What grand ideas
OF the progressiveness OF this grea
State would fill the minds OF the peo,
pie of the country! 1t certainly woult
not require bushel to hide the ligh
OF progression and enterprise tina
characterized the action of those fou
members OF the Commission. Hoy
they must love Ohio! How proud the.
must be that they live in such a glor
ious State! What broad ideas the,
must have of its greatnessl Toled,

house TO these children.

Daring the late war of the rebe llion
OHIO troops were noted as being
among the most patriotic, fearless and
active. They responded to country g
call promptly and were among the
most heroic defenders of the flag.
That the same heroic spirit exists to-day
is manifested by the numerous letters
that are constantly being received by
Governor Bushnell from, Ohio men,
offering their services in case war is
declared with Spain. Private Sec
retary Rodgers says that fully half of
the entire correspondence of the Office
relates to this subject. The majority
OF the offers to enlist come from old
soldiers, Including even few veterans
of the Mexican war. That patriotism
still lives and thrives in Ohio. is
evidenced by these letters to the
Governor.

TALK OF WAR.

At no time in the history OF our
country has it been more advisable for
the Administrations to remember Dayy
Crockett's motto-"Be sure you're
right, then go ahead" For a long
time the deepest sympathy for the
down trodden Cubans has been work.
ing upon the feelings OF the Americans
until it needed but little offsnse to
cause many OF our people to break forth
in their wrath and demand that war
should be declared on Spain. The De-
Lone letter was the first offense, and
while our President cared naught for
the sentiment expressed therein as re-
gardtng himself, he acted promptly and
with u determination of purpose that
proved himself equal to the occasion
and in 10 manner lacking in courage
and patriotism. When the DeLome
affair was at its height, the Maine, one
of our finest battleships was blown up
and nearly 800 American sailors lost
their lives. The fire OF American
patriotism was famed into gigantic
flame. and thousands of our people are
now demanding that war be declared
Immediately, and are impatient with
the President because he does not eat a
few thousand Spaniards for breakfast
each morning. President Mckinley
went through one war, and learned by
experience that "war is hell" as Gen.
Sherman said, and while the Admins
tration is low making every prepara-
tion for war, by strengthening our
coast defenses and getting every pur-
tion of our army and navy in war like
array, he, with the good judgment that
has characterized his entire public SER
vice, will not precipitate this country
into long and bloody war, without first
thoroughly investigating the situation
and assuring himself that he is right
before he goes ahead. The people of
the United States can rest assured that
the President will know positively the
cause of the Names destruction, and
will know positively if the United
States has cause for war 18th Spain, and
if sufficient cause is shown then the
President will not hesitate any longer
than is necessary TO get the fighting
clothes upon the country before he
Issues the call to arms.

In speaking OF the prospects of war
with Spain General Wiley, who has an
enyiable war record himself, said this
evening: II venture the prediction
that if we should declare war on Spain
the old soldiers who would be physic-
ally able to 60 to the front would be
among the first to volunteer. In spite
of all OF It's hardships, there is a fascin-
alton about war. Time is kind and
wipes out recollecuons of the uDpleas-
ant events of a soldiers life, while the
pleasant memories linger. That is why
the old boys would be eager to so into
war against SPAIN"

swEETHEARTs ALWAYS.

II sweethearts were sweethearts always
Whether maid or wife,
No drop would be half SO pleasant
In the mingled draught of life;
But the sweetheart has smiles and bushes
While the wife has frowns and signs,
And the wife's have a wrathful glitter,
For the glow OF the sweetheart's eyes.
II lovers were lovers always.
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would chance for future OF Eden,
The joys Of this checkered life,
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And care ON the anxious brow.
Oft replaces the Sunshine that persisted,
With the word of the marriage VOW.
Happy is he whose sweetheart,
Is wife and sweetheart still,
Whose voice as of old can claim him,
Whose kiss as of old can thrill.
Who has plucked the rose to fiud ever,
Its beauty and fragrance increase,
AS the flush OF passion is mellowed,
In loves unmeasured peace.
