Grants First Dollar.

General Wilson told the story of
how General Grant earned his first
dollar. He was little chap living
in Mount Pleasant, O., when the
circus came to town. Like every
other boy that could raise quarter,
he went to the show. One of the at
fractions was a trick mule, and 81
was offered to any one who could
ride the mule around the ring with
out being thrown. After all the
other volunteers had failed Grant
tried, with the same result. "'I want
to try again." he insisted. Cali
right, sonny" said the circus man,
and this time the boy reversed his
position and held on by the mules
tail, which so astonished the animal
that it failed to rid itself Of its bur-
den, and young Grant won the dol

stood among it's silent graves. The Ut
tie graveyard sloped gently toward the
setting sun, and from it one could see'
far on every side, the fields OF gram
and meadowland that wandered OH
over softly undulating hills to meet the
maple woods at the horizon, DARK
green and cool. Here and there Wnlte
farmhouses, with great barns standing
near, looked out from clustering or
chards.
Up the grass grown walk ana
through the crowding mounds, over
which waves uncut the long, tangl1ng
grass, we bear our friend and let him
gently down into the kindly bosom OF Z
Mother Earth, dark, moist and warm.
The sound Of distant cowbell mingles
with the voice Of the last prayer; the
clods drop heavily with heart startling
echo; the mound is heaped and shaped
by kindly friends, sharing with one
another the task; the long, rough sods
are laid over and patted into place; the
old minister takes farewell in a few
words of gentle sympathy; the brother
and sister, with lingering looks at the
two graves side by side, the old and
the new, step into the farmers car
riage and drive away; the sexton locks
the gate and goes home, and we are
left outside alone.
Then we went back and stood by
Nelson's grave.
After long silence Graeme spoke.
"Connor, he did not grudge his life to "
me, and Think" and here the words
came slowly, II understand now what
that means, who loved me and gave
himself for me-"
Then, taking off his hat, he said rev.
erently:
"By Gods help, Nelson's life shall
not end, but shall go on. Yes, old
man." looking down upon the grave,
"I'm with you" and, lifting up his face
to the calm Sky, GOD help me to be
truev'
Then he turned and walked briskly"
away, as one might who had pressing
business or as soldiers march from a
comrades grave to a merry tune, not
that they have forgotten, but they
have still to fight.
And this was the way old man Nell
son came home.

Sept. 18th. The Board of Registrars
for Walkers Greek District, composed
OF Messrs. Deacon, Wade and Wood, have
just concluded their labor OF enrolling ali
the voters of this precinct, who are
entitled to suffrage under the provisions
OF the new Constitution. On the old

The new registration reduced the
number to 100; only three OF these are
negroes, who were accepted under the
tax-paylng clause. There were only three
white men rejected for ignorance. Every
one, regardless OF party, seemed united
in the opinion that the registrars were
fair to all. Many Democrats have
expressed complimentary remarks about
Mr. Deacon, the Republican member. In

Democratic leaders are not
pleased with the light registration
on the part of the white voters in
Virginia. They want the name of
every white man on the poll books,
and judging from the apathy and
Indifference manifested in some
sections where registration is com.
pleted, it does not seem that their
idea WILDE successful. In Rock
bridge some effort should be made
to get the Democratic voters out.
The Republicans are straining
every nerve, as evidenced by the
publication of a circular last week

the County Committee, calling
upon the Republicans not to let |
this opportunity pass by them.
