The Picayune brings the good news
that the Crescent City is initiating Rich
mond. It says:
New Orleans has thrown off It's swad-
ding clothes in the matter of finance. and
is rapidly developing into vigorous man
hood. In word, the city Is becoming
q, great financial as well as commercial
emporium. and in order to meet the sit

day and generation, he would nave hau

The South Boston News wants to see
Confederate monument in its county. 1t
says:
1--WE are confident that Halifax IS able
and willing to contribute CT her substance
for the purpose OF erecting monument
to her Confederate dead. ana we preoi ic,
that ere long she will have memorial
that will compare favorably with those

The Franklin Graphic sees work ahead

The Staunton News says:
.'Why fear a commission to codlfy the

There Is no reason why 1t should not
again be So"
The Norfolk virginian-Pilot vigorously
condemns the Loudoun county lynching
in a long editorial. In conclusion 1t says:
"A lynching never occurred in which the
leaders at least, are not known. and in
tn, majority of cases every man in the
mob is known to some one who did not
participate in the crime. Inere IS no
greater absurdity. no greater traVesty on
the law, than tbs usual verdict OF the
coroner's jury. that the victim came to
his death by the hands of unknown par
ties. If the parties are unknown. it is
t,e fault of the jury. The bald fact is
that the average coroner's jury shuts it's
eyes to keep from knowing the guilty
parties in case Of a lynching
'.And the probabilities are that this is
true of the Loudoun affair"
The Virginia Gazette-does not like for
Williamsburg to be called Ancient Vii
lage," "Aaoss-Covered Town" etc. It
says:

educational advantages. compare them al
so. Fer neat, clean. commodious houses.

The Orange Observer advises the young
man about town who is out of job. 1t
says:
..Plowing behind mule will give him

weakness out Of his legs, the corns off
his toes and give him good appetite, an
honest living and sight Of heaven"
