Will be remembered by the readers
of tho News that the President in
April 1899, in respones to the piteous
calls from tho women np& children
OF nm outraged and downtrodden
nation, issued % call for volunteers.
and at this time the national firmn.
mont, from zenith to horizon, was
black with righteous Indignation,
and in response to His Maiesties
call, from Maine to California, from
tho mountains to tho sea shore, tho
young manhood camo to the front
and laid themselves on their coun.
try's altar. Old Virginia, tho
grnndest old state in the union, was
roady, as sho always is to do her
part, and this lovely southwestern
part of the grandost old state in the
union, was ready, as she always ia,
TO do her part, and this lovely south
western part of tho grand old State,
"her Eden" her garden spot, sent
her horny handed soma OF toll to do
battle for her country's honor, and
Drawer, truer, moro loyal set of bows.
and boys of better grit, never trod
Cuban soil. This reception was
granp and perfect success, but at
tho same time, it was but feeble
effort to express the appreciation in
which we held our boys.
All praise to the Giver of all good.
that mono OF our boys were left to
sleep in Cuban soil.
Tho chairman of tho committee OF
b""o"oa, W. w. Df0nuQman,
40 well understood his business that
he handled tho immense crowd with,
out jar. The first speaker on tho
programme was our highly esteemed
townsman, Col. jas. S Browning,
who can always secure tho closest
0tlcntion, when it is known he il tn
speak, did ample justice to his sub
lect and often was enthusiasm tho
Widest. Ho was followed by tho
writer, in few remarks of welcome
to tho boys, then followed Rev. @.
D. Jones, the pastor of the Baptist
Church of this place. in an eloquent
and pathetic address of welcome.
Then followed our well known
townsman and attorney, M. Il.
Browning, who in his usually good
humeredly way won his why to the
hearts of all who heard him. Then
the occasion closed with n splendid
address from Capt. Preston. who
had charge of Company M" giving
minute account OF his company.
from the day he took charge of them
no their commanding officer, {, tie
present, and closed his address with
an earnest appeal to them, that il
they were never called to arms apnin
that when tue final roll wns cnlled
they might hear the Captain OF their
salvation say, come into the lows
of thy Lord"

LOCAL POLITICS.

Several Complications Up at the City Hall
Have Come TO Light.
1t was stated yesterday, from several
sources, and with collateral assurances
of authenticity, that things were liable
to happen in regard to the City Clerk
ship, anent Mr.. Watkins reported in
tention to resign.
The story goes, that yesterday Mr..
Watkins announced his intention to
hold on to the Office. while accepting
an outside position, and friend of the
genial official stated in his behalf that
he would not leave the position to
which he had been elected by the peo-
pie unless he was allowed to designate
his successor. This news. it is re-
ported, was quickly spread among a
number of the Republican members of
Council, and as result a resolution
was written out, for presentation at to-
nights special meeting, requiring the
City Clerk to devote all his time to the
business of the city. Late last night it
was stated that this resolution would be
offered by prominent Republican mem
Der, and that it would pass. If the re-
port is true-and it is well vouched
fora very interesting and anomalous
condition of affairs will result AS was
explained by a leading member of the
Council, last night, the situation is
this: If Mr.. Watkins resigns. Mr..
O'Brien will get his place. This is not
satisfactory, and hence the resignation
is held off, and the resolution referred
to follows, directed against the Clerk.
City politicians were very much exer-
cised about the matter last night, and
a number of interesting rumors were
in the air

Yesterday afternoon about one

while proceeding across the B. & o.

time
A number of limestones were placed
on the track east of Schad's crossing
some time during Wednesday night.
They were removed by the street car
men early yesterday morning.
