Veterans Reunion in Roanoke

Communicated
TIMBER RIDGE, October 30, 1906.
Last week we spent in Roanoke at
tending the Veterans Reunion, and
while we have been taking them all in
for several years past, and find them
all vielng with eech other in extending
their hospitality 20 that honored band
of veterans, we are forced to the con-
clusion that Roanoke takes the cake"
The ealaboose during this festive occa
sion was closed, the keys thrown away,
as we were informed, and the freedom
of the city extended to the jolly boys.
On Friday the street cars were
placed at their disposal to ride where
they pleased over all the lines ad libi-
tum, and at night a grand ball was led
by these nimble youngsters, between
the ages Of sixty and seventy-fve, in
the large and commodious skating
link. in an old Virginia reel, at the re-
quest OF the Sons of Veterans, who
showed us every courtesy.
Don't think, Mr.. Editor, that this
was an exclusive ancient stag dance :
for the youth and beauty Of the land
were there to lend inspiration to the
occasion and cheer and rejuvenate the
hearts of this little band of relicts OF by
gone days. We remember Of landing
Ia Winchester In April, '6l, and were
DELIGHTFULLY."- entertained by those noble,
patriotic young ladies, the flower Of the
lower Valley of Virginia, in dance at
the Taylor House. Today those maid
ems who yet survive are the staid, but
no less enthusiastic mothers OF Vir-
GINA. while others, whose bosoms
throb with immortal patriotic enthus
iasm, step forward to cheer and rejuven-
ate the lives OF this little remnant OF
that noble army OF the Lost Cause'
who yet liDger upon the shores OF time.
Our last breath shall breathe bene-
diction upon these noble spirits, the
dear women of the South. who have
shed halo of JOY around the sunset Of
our life. VET.

This Years Great Corn Crop

Some figures that have been prepared
by the Sapta Fe railroad, relating tc the
corn crop this year. are interesting to
business men in general. The figures
are as follows:
"The years. crop is estimated at p
730, 900, 900 bushels. II weighed it would
amount to neurly $4,000, 900 TOYS. II 1t
were shucked and thrown in piles to
form pyramids. it would make rs OF
them, each 451 feet high and $50 feet at
the base. II shelled and sent to the
elevators, it would tax TO the utmost
the full capacity of Dc centers Of dis
tributlon, each as great as Chicago.
"If put into cars, each containing l.
600 bushels, the corn would require
SO 900 trains Of thirty. cars each to carry
IL to market. Putting two trains to
mile, they would stretch fifteen times
across the continent, or twice around
the globe at the Kansas parallel.
There is enough Of this corn to sup.
ply every living person Ia the world
with two bushels. Even after this coun-
try's own vast consumption has been
fully provided for there will be enough
left to give every person in Russia S
vast empire one bushel. At present
market prices this crop would be worth
81, $40, 400, 900. Allowing a decline OF
10 cents bushel In the price when the
market becomes glutted, the value OF
the crop at the decline would be ST.
092. 900. 900, an amount big enough, il
equally distributed,to give every man,

SYNOD TABOOES TITLES

The action of the Synod OF Vir-
GINA in adopting resolution sup
pressing honorary titles in it's Of
fetal minutes is understood to be
one step in an effort being made to
secure the abolition of all honor
airy titles, such as Doctor OF Div
unity, etc. The advocates of this
measure claim that such distinc-
tions as are implied by the possess
ion of these titles are not in keep
ing with the simple lite demanded
of ministers of the Gospel. These
honors are not conferred by
ecclesiastical bodies, but by colleges
and universities. The honors are
frequently conferred on men whose
work or attachments in no way en-
titles them to such distinction, and
often is given from influences that
are accidental rather than other
wise.
Persons in close touch with the
colleges of the country know how
frequently efforts are made ant
wire-working done to have these
honors go to some friend. In fact
the governing boards of many Of
our institutions are appealed to
for such titles and in some in
stances offers of money are made
for these coveted honors.

President Issues Thanksgiving
Proclamation

President Roosevelt has issued his
annual thanksgiving proclamation,
designating Thursday, November Goth,
as the day. Following ls.the text of the
proclamation:
The time of year has come when, In
accordance with the wise custom of
our forefathers, it becomes my duty to
set aside a special day Of thanksgiving
and praise of the Almighty because OF
the blessings we have recel Ved, and of
prayer that these blessings may be con-
tinued, Yer another year Of wide
spread wellbeing has past. Never be-
fore in our history or in the history of
any other nation has people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than is ours; a prosperity so great
that 1t should arouse In us no spirit OF
reckless pride, and least OF all spirit
of needless disregard of our response.
bilities; but all rather sober sense Of
our many blessings and resolute pur-
pose, under providence, not to forfeit
them by any action of our own.
Material well being, indispensable
though 1t is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. II we build
nothing upon this foundation, then our
national life will be as meaningless and
empty as house where only the foun-
dalton has been laid. Upon our material
we'll being must be built superstruc-
ture of individual and national life
lived in accordance with the laws OF the
highest morality, or else our prosperity
itself will in the long run turn out a
curse instead of blessing.
We should be both reverently thank
full for what we have received, end
earnestly. bent upon turning it into a
means Of grace and rot Of destruction.
Accordingly hereby set apart Thurs
day, the twenty-nlnth of November,
next, as a day of thanksgiving and sup
plication, on which the people shall
meet In their homes or churches, devout-
ly acknowledge all that had been give n
them and TO pray that they may in
addition receive the power to use
these gifts Alright.

ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY

Next Tuesday, November 9th, is
election day. Reports from various
sections of Rockbridge indicate
that Democratic voters are taking
very little interest in politics this
wear. 1t is important that every
voter should turn out and cast his
ballot for the Democratic nominee,
Hon. H. D. Flood, whose record In
Congress is a good one. He has
ever held himself Ieady to defend
the interests of his constituents,
and has always been prompt and
obliging in looking after the pri-
vate interests of the people of his
district, regardless of party afilia-
tions. A vote cast for Mr.. Flood
will be vote rightly cast.
Virginia is expected to elect a
solid Democratic delegation with
the possible exception of the Ninth
District which will doubtless re-
turn Col. Campbell Slemp. With
in the past few days several OF the
best Democratic stumpers in the
State have been in that district,
among them Hon. H. st. Geo.
Tucker and Judge:W. H. Mann, but
notwithstanding this, the Repub-
licans will probably carry the dis
trict by a reduced majority. In the
other districts the Republicans
have no show at all.
