Reunion Of StOneWall Survivors.

The executive committee of the
survivors of the famous Stonewall
Brigade Of the Confederate Army
has issued call for the annual re-
union, which will take place in
Stonewall Jackson Camp Hall at
Stanton, Thursday, October %.
The meeting will be called to order
at II O'Clock in the morning by
the vice-president of the Associa-
ton, Comrade T. NJ. Smiley, in
the absence of Col. William r.
Poague, president.
The committee has issued the
following call, which will be of in
terest to the survivors of the First.
or Stonewall Brigade:
Owing to their being so scat
tered over the country, little pro-
gress has been made toward secur-
ing permanent roll of survivors
with present addresses. It's hoped
that those who see this notice will
feel sufficient pride in their MEM
bership to make report by postal
to Thomas ID. Woodward, secre-
tary, of Stanton, mentioning req
iment and company. And that all
newspapers of the valley and of
southwestern counties which fur
nlshed troops to the First Brigade
VIII give publicity to this call. At
this, which will be a business
meeting, the suggestion of. chang
ing our annual reunions so as to
correspond in time and place with
those of the Grand Camp of Con-
federate Veterans of Virginia will
be considered.
For the past four or five years
the reunions of the StonewaU Rri-
gade survivors have been held in
Staunton and it is the desire of the
executive committee to select some
other place of meeting for 1905
which will be convenient for the
old soldiers.

Russian Insanity.

The Russian navy has given
another exhibition of its rottenness
in firing on a fleet of English fish
ing boats early last Saturday morn
ing. y number of the fishermen
were killed and some of the boats
sunk. The Russian navy and army
in It's war with Japan has shown
the rankest kind of control and
ability, but there is no parallel in
the worlds history for the murder
of unarmed and innocent fisher
men. England has demanded a
full apology and payment of money
TO the families of the murdered
men. If full apology and com
plete reparatiOn is not Immediately
forthcoming, Russia will have
another war on her hands quick.
The only explanation that can be
made of the affair is that the Rus
sian warships thought the fishing
boats were japanese torpedo craft.
but how any sane human being
could mistake fishing smack for
a torpedo boat is more than any
person in the United States can
imagine. The Russian officers
were probably so nervous that the
sight of anything floating on the
water threw them into fright and
they began firing.
