GOODBYE 'MEL1sH !'-Peirpoint's s.bob-
tair' melish has been disbandcd by the Mill
tary Bill, much to the joy Of all old soldiers of
the Confederacy. We suppose all fines for
non-attendence at muster, are RENTED by
the order. We suggest that out Of courtesy
every one continue to salute the officers, so
suddenly decapitated. Don'tlaugh at the poor
fellows
THE WHITE SULPHUR SpR1kcs.-George L.
Peyton & Co. have leased this celebrated wa
tering place for three years. Steps will be at
once taken by this enterpising company to put
the Springs in thorough repair and furnish
them in style. Pey; on will have charge,
a sure guarantee that the Springs will be kept
well. The Virginia will also be kept up to its
present high standard. We look for big
travel in the Mountains
VERY BAD.-A correspondent informs us
that John D. White, lately doing business for
J. Litten; since then heavy in the poultry
line, has been engaged in some very sharp
practice during the late snow. His victims
were the citizens of Pointsville. He dried
snow and sold it to them for salt. John had
better quit his sharp tricks or the law will
take him in hand.
SupERsEDEAs GRAsTKD.-In the case of
Woodson Us. Sebert and others, a verdict Of 1888
damages having been awarded the plaintiff
at the February term of the County Court, a
supersedeas has been granted by Judge Shelley,
returnable to the next term of the Circuit
Court of Rockingham county. The question
will then be argued upon the merits of the
exceptions taken by the council for defendant
at the recent trial
The SpR1NGs.-We want big travel next
season, and we are glad to notice that the
proprietors of the various watering places :.
the Railroads and Stage Companies are max
ing every arrangement to meet the wants of
the public. The Rockbridge Baths will be
opened in style; the Rockbridge Alum, ditto
The Hot; the Warm All Healing, Stribling,
&C., will also be open. Persons desiring to
visit our mountains, are assured Of warm
welcome and kind treatment, whether from
North or South.
THE THEspIANs.-In spite of the bad wealth
er, last Friday night, good house rewarded
our Thespians for their efforts to afford place
of amusement to our people. s.The 9th act of
Richard the ILL.,. was rendered successfully,
Mr.. Harry Langdon doing credit to himself by
his acting. In the "Swiss Cottage" Mr.. 7.
N. Norwood, late 'sSolon Single" surpassed
himself as "Natz Tick" and in t.Paddy Miles
Boy" our bewitching little Irish crathur, Miss
Jenny Forester, made the house resound with
shouts of laughter. The music was unusually
good, and that's saying a great deal. The
scenery would have done credit to q frst-class
city Theatre, and all parties show marked i'm
provement in acting their parts. Judges of
good acting pronounce it the best performance
yet given by the Thespians, but we know the
next will be better. Our citizens should libe-
rally encourage this Institution and the talent
it is developing; and we will soon be inde-
pendent of Mr.. s.Yank' in this line Of business
and Measure
