his faith that grand old Virginia,
which has probably contributed more
TO the historic grandeur of this coun-
try than all her sister states combin-
ed. would measure up to the fun stand
ard of her sublime duty in this mo-
mentous hour.
The speaker closed his inspiring ad-
dress with a graceful tribute to the
army Y. NJ c. A. work.

The ordinance requires the street 10
be kept clear OF such vehicles during
tina period from / 10 4 o'clock every
afternoon, thus giving the street
cleaning department and the men EN-
ployed by the city to take care of the
market. the opportunity Of cleaning
the streets. and keeping them in a
sanitary condition.
There is no hght on the hucksters,
said member OF the board. The
ordinance is a good one, as any man
can see II he will think for r moment.
The streets must be kept clean, and
this ordinance simply requires the
owners of all teams 70 remove them
from Marshall street, between Fourth
and Seventh streets between the hours
mentioned. There ia very little goinG
on in the market at that time, and
can see no reason for opposition to the
operation of the ordinance. which is
