ted on the Valley Pike and Railroad, almost
within the angle formed by the confluence of
Stony Creek with the North Branch Of the
Shenandoah, and has the finest water facili-

villages in the State. The trade at his place
is considerable. The principal iron works Of
this county ship their iron from this point.
