Last week will long be notable in the I iiiualH of Staunton and as furnishing three days ot such i continuous attractions as have nut been known in Staunton before, drawing such successive crowds as the best judges aud oldest citizens say they never saw here before, affording a larger number of line speeches aud addresses, than were ever heard here in tbe same length of time, and closing with tbe largest and best street parade that has ever been seen in Staunton. The committees of Stonewall Jackson camp, who had charge of the preparation and entertainment of the visitors confess that their largest estimates were surpassed, and the visiting guests, some of whom have attended the twelve meetings of the Grand Camp, say that in many respects this was the most successful ever held, that at no time, save in Richmond, in 1897, when the corner stone of the Jeff Davis monument was laid, was there so large a crowd, and never so many good speeches, and that tbe sons of veterans meeting on Thursday night was tbe best of the kind they ever attended. Several causes combined to bring about these unusual results. Tbe Grand Camp of irginia always brings together many of the most prominent and active Confederates in the State. In addition to this there was the long talked of reunion of the Stonewall Brigade, which, occurring in the centre of tbe Valley where more of those veterans live than any where else, brought together more of them than have yet assembled; again there was tbe reunion of tbe Ist Va.

cavalry and remnants of the 14th the 15th Va. and other regiments, bringing another large element of veterans not especially assembled before, while the presence of 21 sponsors and maids ot honor from every congressional district in Virginia, selected for their special fitness in every respect, brought a large following. Then too, such speakers as Attorney General Montague, Senator Daniel, Fitz Lee and Hon. Jas. Mann, expected from abroad, and from home Mayor Landes, Capt.

Upie, Messrs. W. A. Pratt and S. D.

Timberlake, drew their thousands, while the attendance in full ranks, kindled with enthusiasm, of the teachers and pupils of the Mary Baldwin Seminary, the Virginia Female Institute, and Dunsmore 's Business College, over 300 altogether, lent unusual attractions to the occasion. Taking all this, with tbe fact that this meeting was held in the great historic Valley of Virginia. and iv the county where at least 1,000 Southern veterans still are living and their children, grandchildren and friends are numbered by the thousands, it is not surprising that about 2,000 veterans came to the reunion and some 5,000 of their friends followed them, attended their meetings to applaud, welcomed them on the streets and in their homes, joined iv their parade or crowded the streets to cheer them as they passed. Resuming our report of the proceedings of the Grand Camp where we left off last week: Quartermaster General Washington Taylor reported with a balance in the treasury of $235 and showed that there were still a number of camps delinquent in their dues. Inspector General T.

C. Morton presented his report, which is given in another column. A rather exciting episode occurred here, Gen. Rosser insisting that the clause should be stricken out at the beginning of the report which suggested that the trraud Camp consider the matter of disbanding such camps as were prac tically inert and reorganizing new ones in the same territory. An explanation was made by tbe Inspector General which seemed to satisfy every one but Gen.

who continued to harangue his apparently unwilling listeners, notwithstanding the rule of referring this report, with others, to the usual committee was insisted on and finally ordered by the Grand Commander. Shortly after, Gen. Rosser again arose and interrupted tbe proceedings by an appeal in behalf of the "old soldier who could not pay bis dues, and appealed from the decision of the chair ruling him out of order. The Grand Camp, however, by a unanimous vote disposed of the matter and of Geo Rosser, who immediately left the hall and did not again take part in the proceedings. No regret was expressed and no appeal was made, as has been stated, for him to return.

Tbe report was afterwards taken up and after a strong commendation of it by Judge Christian and Col. Kean, was unanimously adopted. The feature of this days session was tbe report of the History committee. It is an exceedingly able paper, and among other things the chairman said: "As showing that the north took the first steps in belligeracy, cited dispatches from Seward to Judge Campbell, telling the Southerners that troops would be removed at once from Fort Sumter, and yet the military authori ties were then sending out to southern waters, under sealed orders, sailors, ships, men, munitions of war, and the means of landing them. These acts were real overt acts of war, making the Federals the active and first aggressors.

It quoted freely from New York, Boston and other northern papers that declared that the South had already gone tbe limit in its ability for pacification. It quoted facts tending to show Lincoln's double dealing and duplicity. Ida Tar bell's life of Lincoln is quoted, where Miss Tarbell tells the tale of how Joe Medill, the Chicago editor, and others, attempted to dissuade Lincoln from enforcing the draft of troops in tbe West, when Lincoln said Boston and Chicago had clamored for war and brought it on, now go home and raise your allotment of men. Tbe report condemns the errors hostile to a fair statement of tbe Confederate cause, as found in John Fiske's and Estill's histories, and urges Virginians to teach their children, not southern history, not northern histo ry, but true tale of truth having no habitation or name other than the living truth." Upon the conclusion of tbe report, which was adopted without a dissenting voice, Commander Mcllbanv took the chair, and Rev. Dr.

G. VV. Finley introduced Senator Daniel in a handsome manner, and he arose amidst the applause of tbe largest audience tbat ever assembled in Columbian Hall, no less than being present. The eloquent speech of tbe senior Senator from Virginia has been referred to. In tbe afternoon Gen.

Fitz Lee was met at the train by a crowd of three or four thousand and preceeded by the band was conducted to the ball where tbe reunion meeting of tbe old Stone wall Brigade was just closing a large and most interesting session, Col. H. J. Williams presiding. Capt.

S. H. Walker presiding, Gen. Lee was introduced and made a stirring cavalryman's war talk, which elicited peals of laughter and shouts of applause throughout the hour that he spoke. He was followed by two distinguished" cavalry veterans, Gen.

Payne, of Warrenton, and Gen. Munford, of Lvnchburg, the rest of the afternoon being given up to the cavalry, who, laughing and cheering and decorated with their yellow badges, were everywhere to be seen during the rest of the evening and as far into tbe night as any one walked the streets. The night session was prolonged until nearly midnight and much routine business disposed of, among which was the consideration and adoption of the Grand Commander's report with all of its recommendations, and tbe adoption of a rule requiring the recalling of a camps charter when more than a year in arrears, but that a camp may reinstate itself by paying one years dues. Tbe third and last day'- program was begun by a visit to the Va. School for the Deaf and the Blind, where tht efficient principal, Prof.

W. A. Bowles, had prepared a treat for the veterans, 1 consisting of an exhibition of the mode ot teaching the children. The entertainment was enjoyed by every one, i especially the rendition of "Nearer My God" in the sign language. A bright, pretty, blind girl, Miss Pearl Clarke, of Lynchburg, read from raised type an account of tbe visit of the Grand Camp to Staunton, which delighted tbe visitors and elicited a very feeling response on behalf of the camp from Rev.

J. P. Hyde, a delegate from Winchester. The Inspector-General afterwards presented Miss Clarke, on behalf of the camp, with a delegate's badge, as a souvenler of tbe in teresting occasion. At 11:30 the camp was called to order by Grand Commander Stitb Boiling, prayer was offered by Rev.

J. P. Hyde and reports of various committees were heard. Rev. J.

P. Hyde, chairman of tbe committee on resolutions on death of past grand commanders, reported tbe death of Past Grand Commander John J. Williams, of Winchester, and Thomas D. Brauder. Resolutions were adopted by a rising vote.

The following officer's were then elected for the ensuing year: Grand E. Maury, of Richmond. First Lieutenant Grand Commander W. Smitn, of Suffolk. Second Lieutenant Grand Macgill, of Pulaski.

Third Lieutenant Grand Commander D. Ranson, of Staunton. Inspector C. Morton, of Staunton. Quartermaster General Washington Taylor, of Norfolk.

Chaplain J. P. Hyde, of Winchester. Surgeon General John S. Powell, of Occoquan.

Adjutant Ellet, of Richmond. Tbe Chaplain General and the Third Lieutenant Grand Commander were the only new men elected, the rest be- ing either promoted or re-elected. Past Grand Commander Boiling on retiring made a handsome speech, thanking his comrades for their co- operation, and asked the same loyalty to his successor. On the invitation of Comrade Roper, Petersburg, was selected as the next place of meeting. Comrade Featherstone, of Lynchburg, asked for the meeting of 1902.

Comrade Smith spoke at some length about the Jeff Davis monument. With the usual vote of thanks for hospitality, the camp adjourned With the benediction from the new chaplain, after the assembly had joined in singing "In the sweet, bye and bye," being led by F. W. Cunningham, of Richmond. Some figures with regard to the entertainment of this large number of visitors will be interesting.

The prin- cipal Hotels, Eakleton, Palmer House, Kalorama, Hoover.and Porter report that they entertained during Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 324 persons; the three principal restau- rants, Cohen's, Kivlighan's and Crog han's fed 3,330 and roomed 30. There were about 50 boarding houses and private families who provided board- ing for 225 persons at $1.00 per day and a great many other hospitable citizens entertained their friends of whom there is a list of 82 families. There are many more of whom there is no record but doubtless more than are recorded. I Over 300 old soldiers, who were not able to provide for themselves, were lodged by the committee of entertain- ment who provided them with cots and i fed them, also furnishing some 2.000 meals to veterans only, who applied for them at the ladies' lunch house, where a faithful few assisted by Mr. Wm.

Newman, a zealous old veteran, kept open house from early morn till late at night, dispensing the best of coffee, ham, beef, fowls, bread and fruit, never refusing a single veteran who presented himself. All this shows what Staunton can do withabig crowd when her heart is in it, and grateful thanks are returned to ten liberal citizens from the county who sent in supplies to aid their city friends in the large but pleasant entertainment they had undertaken. It is gratifying to them too to know that their guests, in every case, expressed themselves as delighted with their reception and entertainment, speaking in the highest terms of the hospitality of Staunton and Augusta. The proprietors of the hotels and boarding houses say they never had nicer crowds and better pay, and among the $1.50 is reported as not having been collected. One old fellow was "too full," it.was said, to know what he was doing, for sometimes even an old veteran can be tempted to take a dram when he gets among comrades and talks over oid times when there was nothing stimulating except powder and ball.

Capt. Perry with the West Augusta Guard, and Capt. Long, with the aitillery bonowed from the V. M. 1., attracted a crowd of some 2,000 people to the hill that night and the rapid aud continuous firing of the big gun with tbe crackle of small arms and the blaze and flash of rockets around the whole town gathered a great crowd on Main street during the continuance of tbis battle.

Among the courtesies of tbe reunion, was a supper given by the Sears' Hill Hose company to the Waynesboro Fire company, which was much appreciated by them as well as by the enter tainment committee of the camp. Good For Stannton. Rev. Dr. H.

H. Hawes, who visited Staunton two weeks ago, spending two Sabbaths and the interviewing days, was representing the cause of the Pres byterlan Home and School for the widows and children of missionaries and ministers. His friends will be glad to hear that he was quite successful and raised $360 here. It is gratifying to him that here where he lived.so long be should have secured more help than in any other city he visited, Baltimore excepted. MiddlekrMk Items.

To Establish Annual Reunions. While the reunion spirit is still burning, and since Lieut. S. H. Walker and Mr.

E. G. Fishburne have so kindly agreed to prepare a roster of Co. Ist Va. Cavalry, the president urgently requests each father to send without delay, the names and ages of all his suns to Sec.

H. G. Gilkeson, Mint Spring, Va. If the father is deceased, one of the sons will please at tend to the matter. Those who know of a survivor in another State, or another county of this State, will also notify the secretary, that be may correspond with them.

In this way a complete record may be secured, and the reunion movement of Co. assured. We hope all will attend to this and shower the letters upon our secretary now while the "iron is hot." W. L. Kerb, Prest.

Looking Into The Knitting Mill. On Monday evening there was a well attended meeting of citizens in tbe hustings court room to consider the proposition of establishing a knitting mill here. Messrs. J. J.

Bockee and J. P. Faure, of New York, who were i present, were introduced and explained the matter. Mr. Bockee said the plant would employ 200 people and have a pay-roll that would averags $900 a week.

After some discussion the chairman of the meeting appointed a committee consisting of Messrs. J. M. Spotts, W. P.

Tarns and H. W. Hilleary, to canvass for subscriptions to bonds of the plant. Some subscriptions were made at the meeting. It will be a great thing for our city to have a factory of this kind employing 200 people and paying out $900 every Saturday.

Our citizens should think twice before refusing to subscribe to the bonds of the new enterprise. A Bio Attraction. The largest popular-priced company on the road will open a week's engagement here next Monday night.

W. T. McCue, Chairman. Can Thin Trie It is reported that at a recent political gathering in Bath county, in the Tenth District, Congressman Quarles made a speech in which be failed to mention the name of Mr. Flood, who is the Democratic candidate for the seat now held by Judge Quarles.

Judge Quarles, it is said, was followed by Rivercomb, the Republican candidate, who called the attention of tbe audience to the omission, and further dramatically exclaimed: "This was done because Judge Quarles wants to see Flood defeated as much as I do, and he dare not contradict that statement." The report goes that Judge Quarles did not reply to this charge by Rivercomb. Colonel Joe Button said this morning that Chairman Ellyson had written to know if the report was true, and that if Judge Quarles was not disposed to endorse and speak for the entire Democratic ticket he would be asked to cancel his appointments under tbe State Committee assignments.

In most cases the eyes are never tested so hard at any time of life as during school years. At the same time tbey are never so delicate or so easily injured. If your children complain that their eyes hurt them when studying, or that they cannot ccc tbe blackboard distinctly, they should have professional attention without delay.

It is not fancy on the part of the child, but some strain or overwork is going on which will in time result in permanent injury. Have them wear glasses when they study anil they will have stronger eyes all through life. Ignoie tbe trouble now ami they will probably have to wear glasses constantly later on. I make a specialty of fitting the eyes of childreu. No charge for consultation.
