Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1900-01-05

The Rev. DIR. Len G. Broughton,
pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, of
Atlanta, Ga, recently filled the pull
pit of the Rev. DIR. A. G.. Dixon, of
Brooklyn, and also preached in New
York churches. In his sermons he
warned his hearers to beware of the
burning hell of Cotton Mather and
Jonathan Edwards. He was criti-
cised as ignorant and superstitious.
He has now answered his critics,
and reaffirmed his faith IN everlast-
ing future punishment, particularly
for those who differ with him as to
what hades is like.
81 warned my New York congre-
gations," he sand, "to flee the tor
lures of hell. Many learned Eastern
gentlemen expressed surprise that
sensible New Workers would flock to
hear such ignorance. One particu-
larly vehement critic said that the

REvEL OF THE PLUTOCRA1s.

Here is a pretty good effusion from
our fredericksburg contemporary,
the Star: at is said that aboat n
billion of dollars is represented in
the United States Senate. 1t is q
very imperialism of money and head
quarters for all the trusts, combines
and monopolies of the country. The
railroad magnates are there in their
very highest estate. The monarchs
OF the mines strut down its aisles
with their pockets full of nuggets
of gold and face full of brass. The
plutocrats hold high carnival in its
halls and 'no poor man need apply"
is written over the doorway of the
upper chamber. 1t is the rich
mans club and the multi-million-
aires political goal. From the
South we send our impecunious pol
iticians, for rich men here are like
angels visit-very few and very far
between-but how long this condi-
tion will exist in this Southland we
cannot tell. 1t may be that as pros
perity washes gold over the bosom
of our section we may join the pro-
cesslon and serve up rich men to
revel in the luxury and glory of
legislating."

IRVINGTON, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY s. 1870

But what of the noble army who
are engaged in this great war of
Zion? The war with sin and eternal
death? In our own home land, in
America alone, We have a mighty
army of men and women laboring
zealously for Foreign Missions, and
even the little children are a tower
OF strength, dropping the pennies in
the great bank of Heaven for the
souls of the heatheu.
Our young people in the various
movements of young peoples work,
are not only becoming workers them
selves, but are supporting foreign
missionaries, and many are volunteers
for foreign service.
The highways are open, the op-
portunity is ours to take the world
for Christ, the outlook was never
brighter than today. The field is
ripe for harvesting, the workmen
are ready. The invitation is ours,
"Come over Christians if there be
and help US ere we die" "The
Heathen is promised as an inheri-
tance and the uttermost parts of the
EARTH" This promise God will
most surely keep and perform.
What more remains but to press on to
Zion's war, so pray without ceasing,
and in all things give thanks to Him
who will give the victory.
Now with these facts placed before
us, besides others which might be
mentioned, we no longer have cause
to feel, as some contend, that our
Golfers are emptied for naugbt, or
our labor used in vain, when we have
such evidence that more good is
being accomplished in this direction
than ever before, owing doubtless, to
the fact that greater efforts are being
used to this end, as each year glides
swiftly away into the distant past.
Then let us take renewed courage,
and press forward in this noble work,
send the precious message of Jesus
across the mighty deep, and brighten
up the darkened homes of our more
unfortunate sisters, pointing them to
the outstretched arms of a loving
Savior, and when we are called to
try the realities Of another world, we
shall receive crown of glory at the
hands of our Father in Heaven.
"Blest river of salvation
Pursue thine onward way;
Flow thou to every nation
Nor in thy richness stay
Stay not Till all the lowly,
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim the Lord Is comel"

WHY GROW HORNS.

Horns as head ornaments for bulls
are now considered useless and dan
gerous. The conditions existing in
their wild state which required them
for weapons of self-defense no longer
obtain, hence smooth poll is pre-
ferred, which can be obtained by use
of polled bull, or by use of stick
caustic potash applied to the embryo
horn when the calf is few days old
by first wetting the button or young
horn and then rubbing with potash
until burned sufficiently to kill it
that is kill the horn, not the calf.-

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, March 24.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say: Liverpool recovered from the de-
cline of Yesterday on American and con-
tnental buying based on expected light
'er receipts, the coming week. Our market
opened steady at the advance with buying
from the Mississippi valley on this. and
from Europe on arbtrage transactions on
the new crop. The South sold the new crop
deliveries, while the outside long interest
have been slow sellers all day, their Of
ferings closing the market barely steady.
Our local Trade are disposed to buy on
weak periods on the theory that the Of
ferings will be light because none care to
be short, and that rallies from depres-
sions are sure to come, unless the wealth
er changes for the better throughout the
cotton belt.
New York. March 24.-Murphy & Co.
say: Liverpool sent us unchanged quota
tons on spots with sales of 5000 bales,
which are fairly large for Saturday this
season of the year. Futures opened I'M
changed but closed to 5-64d higher. Our
room traders expected a lower market in
Liverpool to-day hence this market open
ed about points up for near, and points
on far months. The improvement in Liver
pool is attributed to the Chronicles week
ly weather from the South, and also TO
private kilograms, stating that farm work
is behind, owing to bad weather 1t is also
claimed that a scarcity of farm hands ex-
lists in Alabama owing to the great ac-
tivity in mining and manufacturing dis
triets. AS farmers can readily make con-
tracts for fall delivery cotton at seven
cents basis or about 115G2 cents per pound
above. previous seasons, every effort to
nut in and work cotton fields seems very
probable unless weather prevents, which
is unlikely. A hot and dry August is the
serious obstacle, and that is a long way
ahead The world will hustle for early
cotton and pay fairly good prices if trade
continues on present basis. Southerners
are selling new crop deliveries at cents
for winter months.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 2l.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady prices to 10 points
higher on near months and 3 to 5 points
higher on far months. this being a not al
together favorable response to a formid-
able array of bulsh influences. The lat
ter comprised strong Liverpool cables, a
bullisho review lby the Chronicle, wet
weather map rumors OF firmness in
Southern markets and a goodly number of
foreign buying orders. Shorts became
frightened on*the call, and purchased the
present crop deliveries hastily. But the
offerings of long cotton from outside
sources proved larger than bears had call
culated upon, and prices subsequently
dropped back several points. Sentiment
was sadly mixed with the confusion in
this respect increased by conflicting testi-
mony from the belt concerning the pres
ent standing of field work i'm general and
Texas i'm particular. The crop movement
was light with Indications pointing to

believed receipts will fall off from now on,

erably ahead of yesterdays.
