Watkins Writes From North ern Virginia. Park Hotel, Fredericksburg, Va., April 27. Editor Danbury Reporter: I will give you a little sketch of my trip over here. When I boarded the train at Walnut Cove, I found Dr. R. L. Flippin carrying his father, Mr. James Flippin, to Baltimore to have an operation performed. I hope Mr. Flippin came out alright. I havent heard. We traveled to gether to Lynchburg. I stopped over night; next morning I went to Pittsburg and stopped over a while. From there I went to Rich mond and stopped again. The J next trip brought me to the old historic town of Fredericksburg,. j Landed here (5:30, taking the bus |to the City Park Hotel. This is ' | a very old looking town, broad; chimneys, *■ They run some very large boats up here. Driving over this coun- j try makes me think of the old grey headed soldiers. I often see things I that I have heard them talk about. I I stayed over night with a gentle-1 man Friday night that lived in a house that Lee qsed for a hospital. He said that the floors are bloody get, but I did not see it. The i floors were all carpeted. Tl e house has been remodeled, but has the same floors. I took dinner the next day where Grant had his Grant's tent was right nt his chimney. He had a large feed barn, said the floor up stairs is bloody where they laid the wounded. If this does not its way to the wastebasket, I may tell the old soldiers how this country looks. I see lots of monument and breast works. J Started last Sunday evening to Chanoellorsville, where Gen. Jackson was killed, but it got so late we turned back at the burnt house. I passed the Sedge wick monument yesterday. I will close for this time hoping . that the people up there are get- I ting interested in the electrio line by this time, : D. 8. WATKINS.

A WORD PROM CAPT. JAMES A. LEAK URGES FARMERS, DOCTORS, MERCHANTS AND MECHANICS TO HELP FIGHT THE TRUST. Peter's Creek, Va., Route 1, April 30. Mr. Editor : On the 26th of this month there was one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the farmers at Francis co that ever met there. Speeches were made by State Lecturers J. O. W. Gravely, G. O. Key and Dr. Tom Smith to a determined band of horny handed farmers who have become tired of the combinations aud Trust getting on the throne and pricing their produot. So after the object of the meeting was fully explained and the results of such organization shown, 83 farmers, doctors and merchants at once enlisted in the grand cause with a determination from this time on to price their own produce. While the writer waa not there my whole heart was with them ! and I intend to be one of them the ! first opportunity. There is uoth i ing does me more good than to see the farmers of this oounty rising in their might and demand ,ing their rights, which will soon be accomplished if they will hang together and I believe they will do it; while the prospect is good iin old Stokes for other improve -1 ments it is still brighter for the 1 farmer. Now, farmers, let's stand as a bahd of brothers and tbe victory is ours, and we can have the privil ege of pricing a«r own tobacco in stead of R. J, R. and others doing u, Now in conclusion, let me say to the farmers, doctors merchants and mechanics of old Stokes. Come join us in this noble cause- It will do us good. Let us hold up our heads for onr redemption draweth nigh. You want a profit on your tobacco, you want to have a say so when it is sold. So come i help us make the fight. JAMES A. LEAK.
