TWO CHRISTMAS WEDDINGS, AND THE MASTERS BETROTHAL IN FAR GONE SLAVERY DAYS IN VIRGINIA.-ELLA F. MOSBY IN THE SPRINGFIELD SUN DAY REPUBLICAN,.
The Newtown bee., 1904-12-23

The week before Christmas Richard rode up to the Willows. This time Sally and Polly met him, their eyes dancing with mischief. "Alice is alone in the library,' they whispered, and taking off their high-heeled slippers, they stole silently upstairs, Sally way ing her slipper as a signal of good wishes, before she disappeared.
 As Richard entered, Alice sprang up to leave, but Richard stood squarely closed behind him. The windows were high above the ground.
 At last she spoke, "Mr Cabell, kindly let me pass"
 She looked at Richard. Perhaps it was unintentional, but it was effective.
 "Oh, Alice, dearest, tell me what is the matter. 1 know it is one of Paget's lies-but what did hurt your feelings So?''
 The last expression was malicious and Alice'S lips Quivered and her eyt S were overbrimmed with tears.
 In another moment she was seated beside Richard sobbing on his shoul- der. Before 10 minutes had passed, come to the negroes yearly Christmas eve dance at the Willows which meant -ah, before Richard could prove the logical consequence, Sally had called out jOyOusly from the top stair, "Alice! come quick, and, Richard, aunt says you may come, too, to her chamber! Quick Quick"
 They ran lightly upstairs and on bed, lounge, cushioned chair and table were spread fluttering ribbons, brea dths of lustrous silks made into snares and 6eg%MemsntS" men isnas feathers eat jeweed texture-'.A few trif1es," wrote Madame La Tour, ''from the Paris box her friends had just sent to her in Williamsburg" For the judges warn- ing had proved correct. A settlement on Clinch mountain was impossible. Some of the party had gone home. Two of them had bought land on James river-one wealthy proprietor had given his new friend from France a small farm that he might continue his games of chess,-the La Tours were to settle near Williamsburg. Madame had promised to write soon to her dear young friends at the Willows and these gifts accompanied her letter.
 Alas, Judge WymstOne, attracted by the laughter and gay voices, entered his sisters room and as he looked and heard, his brow grew dark.

President John s. Mitchell, OF the

F. L. Robbins made the following
demand for the operators:
That the condition of the times and
the necessity OF meeting competition
and conditions already demand and
require reduction of 15 per cent

President Mitchell spoke for the mi

presented. Robbins replied, and dur
ing his argument, said:
I'VE have been criticised for dealins
with labor as unit, but we have con,
tinued in the hope that you men would
