Rev. Edwards in his uddre.-s
eulogized General Lee for h;S
unswerving fidelity to what he
thought was right, and spoke of
his noble character ss a man
and a Christian. He recited
many little incidents in Lee's

From one- end of the Union to

it is the paramount question of
the hour. Either all classes of
labor will ha\ e to have an in

gambling in food stuffs, coupled | , ,t
with the recent revision of the
