a LTHOUGH the other candidates in the

doubt we'll known locally and are highly
esteemed by their fellow citizens, the gen.

qnence, and laughed with him in the hours
when his irrcpressble wit and humor have
dspelled the lowering clouds.

Confederate dead, 10 rejoice in the new

more important than that. Nirginians have
observed and highly appraised the contri-
