worthy gentleman came to Farmville in
1859 with his family from England. has

until now has enjoyed the confidence and
esteem, Of those IN the town and coun-
try. He is a man OF. marked personality:
firm and fixed in opinions and absolutely
fearless when he has taken position.
From the time that Nr. Bryan was first
nominated for the presidency, Mr. Bugs,
who had all the while been a consistent
Democrat, has taken a decided position
against the Nehraskan, and has all the
while been recognized as persistent
t'golchug." He represented the few Of
that faith in a convention which met in
Richmond during the last presidential
fight which ar. Bryan made. and has
never warered III his faith. 1t will be
remembered that prior to the Christmas

such has been the continued and persist

been lively interest manifested by Re
pnblicans here, and many names of Re
publicans have been sent in for consider

OF Colonel ". w. Forbes, e,s-postmaster
Of Richmond. During this time the name
OF Mr.. Bugg had been quietly sent on to
Washington with local endorsements of

and he will bestow upon his new duties
elI the faithfulness and integrity Which
nave made him a prominent man in the
business circ.es of Farmville for the
last quarter OF a century. Mr.. Bugg has

General Fitzhugh Lee arrived In the

stopped on his way here at Fredericks.a
burg, to see his brother. Bob Lee. who Is
very sick there, and not expected to live.
General Lee is staying at Mrs. Duval's,

and said last night that he is. very much
encouraged by the way subscriptions to
the stock Of the Tercentenary Exposition
Company IS coming in.
The idea of the great naval display in
Hampton Roads proves to be a popular
one in this sense Owing to our geogra-
p1lical position, any future wars in which
we may become engaged will be fought by
the navy. It is impossible that any ma
ton should ever again invade US by land.
We could raise an army of million fight
ing men in twenty-four hours, and no ma
ton could ever transport a million men
with the necessary accessories across the
water to invade US.
And, then. the navy will become the
feature Of our war establishment of the
future, because of our colonial possessions
which it will be necessary to guard We
are going to havesa great display of the
nations y ar vessels, and bring the peo-
pie from The interior and the West here

In Office to the Spanish abuses in Cuba,
General Lee said that he was only par X

President Cleveland did not respond to
his reports of conditions in Cuba, yet that
the President was conservative: that he
had other reports, and other views, to
consider, and he wos actuated by indispo-
sition to precipitate a war.
The newspapers had cut out this part
Of his address at the time. and given only
that part which criticised Mr.. Cleveland.
