us to exempt any kind Of property what

be said that the advantage OF having

sets the cost of the fire protection we

Fun ia Richmond.

Down in Richmond they are having
lively canvass for the mayoraity. Inc
candidates are taking the stump and tell
ing the voters what is wrong and what
they intend to do when they are elected.
The World doubts the wisdom OF such
campaigns. but some time people should
vote for no candidate who does not put
himself on record. Roanoke has reached
a point in her history when the Mayor
can do much for her, and the people
should see that one is elected who does

of Colorado owns the inkstand which was
used at AppomattoX. Va, on April 3,
1865. on the occasion of Lees surrender
to Grant The inkstand was owned by
General Sheridan when he was a cadet
at West Point, and was carried by him
through the war. 1t is made of gutta-
percha, is two inches in diameter and one
and one-half inches high. On one side is
a large lump, or blister, by which it was
subsequently identified by its owner. Ac-
cordinE to the story, on this memorable
occasion Generals Grant and Lee asked
surrender, and General Sheridan brought
forth his own inkstand. which was used.
General Sheridan afterwards carried the
inkstand to his home, in Ohio. and in 1874
it was presented to Colonel Cecil a.
Deane, curator Of the War Museum at
Denver, by Colonel john J.. Sheridan
brother of the General. Many Efforts
says the Post, have been made to get
possession of the interesting relic, and
one offer of $1,000 was made by a Pllla-
