PICNIC TO LEXINGTON.

The excursion which was run to Lex
ington September..2nd, over tho Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway, under the
auspices of the sunday school of ot.
Pauls church, was n grand success.
Every seat in the train was taken, and
at least four hundred persons were in
the party: At o'clock the train pulled
out OF the Union station, and at 9:I5 it
reached Lexington. The trip up the
James and North rivers were delight
ful, the morning being bright and
beautiful, and, despite the heat, an
ideal day for the outing.
Everyone spent a charming day at
Lexington, viewing the various places
of interest, including the V. NJ. and
W. & L. u, the recumbent statue of
Lee, General Jackson's statue, General
Lees private room, and many other
points that are known and talked Of
throughout the South. The beautiful
campus of Washington and Lee Uni
versity, with its scores of large, shady
trees, proved splendid spot for the
together of the picnickers,
and at about midday bountiful lunch
enough for the children of the school
md for outsiders, was spread upon the
grass. Lemonade, cool and refresh
ng was served.
The start tor home was made at 4
o'clock IN the afternoon, and at $40,
he train drew into the depot

TRUSTS FORMING.

The formation Of gigantic trus,
which, If formed, will lay a tax on every
mouthful Of bread eaten in the United
States. 1t is to be known as the flour
trust and will if completed, draw
under its dominion every barrel of
Hour going out Of our mills. 1t is
possible that the millers might feel
kindly to such trust, as the price Of
hour would be more uniform and DOS
siblly higher, but where trusts make
their money is in buying the supply.
For instance, they grind the tobacco
producer to earth with low prices; they
force the man who digs the coal to dig
at starving wages, and they will force
the farmer to sell bis wheat at Just
what price the trus. puts on it, as they
now do the sugar growers. We invite
the careful attention Of our readers to
inns dangerous monopoly now raising
its horrid form in Wall street.

presence OF such associations no ap-
peals should be made to prejudice or
passion, but all questions should be
discussed on the high plane OF STATES
manship aud patriotism.
Let us see what the real issue is.
Talk about free silver and tariff. They
don't apply to the election in this dis
trict at all. The tariff is a law on the
statute books. How could a represen-
tative from this district change that
law? The Republican party has been
accused of robbing the C untry of it's
double standard of money. How was
that possible when the United States
never had any double standard?" He
then stated his position as believing in
the single gold standard, in the pro-
tective tariff, aud in the policy of the
present administration. In reply to
1 lie charges by the yellow Journals"
of mistreatment of our soldiers, he paid
c high compliment to gallant Joe
Wheeler who claimed that there had
been no complaint from the private
soldier who seemed to be perfectly
satisfied with the treatment of our
government both in camp and in hos
pital.
Concluding Col. Hubbard repeated
his endorsement of the policy of the
Republican party and that of President
and his administration in the |
the conduct Of the Spanish-American |
war, declaring that to their wise and
patriotic management are we indebted |
Tor the glorious success of American
arms.
Judge Quarles closed the discussion
n a speech Of fifteen minutes. There
we're present Col. r. R. Fauntleroy, Of
and Col. j. A. Lyons, Of
Buckingham, who were here to partici-
ate in the discussion on the Republi-
an side, but the joint debate prevent
d it. Hon. James W. Marshall, Ii
Cyclone JIM" OF Craig City, was in
he audience and was called upon for
speech but he declined. II

ROB NOT THE POOR BECAUSE
HE Is POOR"
PROVERBS.

The good effects of the war belong
to the Republicans, the evil effects
must be charged to the Democrats, at
least that will be attempted; indeed, we
have heard the entire war charged to
the Democrats and yellow journalism,
just as If there were no such thing as a
Republican party. As the war has be an
the most important and interesting
episode since Mr.. Mckinley was in
augurated his party ought to shoulder
the responsibility or admit that they
were failure and were whipped into
it by influences outside of Republican,
ism, which they were unable TO with
stand, that is, that the Democracy and
yellow journalism won tie day, and
the Republican party had TO surren-
der.
But the war will soon be odious, pre-
vided the taxes remain as they are. I
may not be generally known, but the
present tax is more far reaching and
oppressive than when the civil war was |
going on, and nearly two million men |
we're in the field. The present internal
revenue measure is the most permeat-
ng measure ever devised, and enters
he most remote hovel. But there is
10 reason for this enormous tax now
nd as soon as Congress meets steps
hould be taken to relieve the country
t the burden. The Dingley bill un-
'ss SO mebody has lied ought to pay al
lebts, dues and demands in times of
eace. Let the Republican party re.
nember that che who oppresseth the
oor to increase his riches, and he that s
lveth to the rich, shall surely come to t
ant. "-Staunton Spectator. il

Hon. X. T. HUBBARD, Republican
nominee for Congress, addressed the
voters Of Buena Vista on the issues of
the campaign at the Opera House on
Monday night. His audience was small,
and his address did not seem to create
any enthusiasm. He stated in the be
ginning that he was states-richt
Democrat before the war and a solder
IN the Con federate army, but Joined the
Republican party, because its principles
were those OF the old Wing party, and
that VIC needed protective tariff, be-
cause it would put money in the peck |
cts OF the manufacturers. He also
charged that the Democratic party was
in favor of DISTINGUISHING the negro |
and keeping him in ignorance, while :
the Republican party was endeavoring |
to elevate and educate him, and make |
him an intelligent citizen, but failed to |
mention the fact that the public school |
system was inaugurated in virSinia by
the Democrats.
This is the first gun fred here in |
the campaign, and it seemed to be |
shooting blank cartridges.

WEDDINGS IN BRITTANY.
There Is No Limit to the Guests Bid
den and No stint TO the Feast
ing or the Frolic.

The Bretons are most sentimental
people. Their wooings and their we'd
dings are most picturesque. Some of
the prettiest things that have ever
been said about women have been said
in Brittany by Breton men. Some of
the very finest saws imaginable about
marriage and love are Breton prov
cribs.
A Breton bride must wear a silken
girdle or sash, so tied that it falls, not
in single ends, but in long double loops.
When the wedding party has formed
into procession, and is about to walk
to church, it is arrested by the brides
mother, who cuts the loops of her
child's sash, embraces her, blesses
her, and says: The tie which has so
long united us, my child, is hencefor-
ward rent asunder and | am forced
| to yield TO another 'the authority
which God gave me over thee. If thou
art happy-and may God ever grant it
this will be no longer thy home; but
should misfortune visit thee, mother
| is still n mother, and her arms are
ever open to her children. Like thee, |
quilted my mothers side to follow a
husband. Thy children will also, in
their turn, leave thee. When the birds
are grown, the maternal nest cannot
hold them. May God bless thee, my
