Gated, and returning to Mann's house, slap
ped his (Mann's) mother and two of his

went up home, and on reaching there found
the door fastened. Price being inside, re-
fused to admit him, whcreupon Mann went
behind the house, raised a window, and fired
at Price three times The first ball failed
of its aim; the second took effect in the alb

THE PROSPECTS OF THE SoUTn. The New

follows:
The outlook for the year to come is brigh-

We have endeavored to enlist the active
interest of the people Of Staunton, Augusta
and adjoining counties ia-the effort to Sc
cure the work and repair shops of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railroad Company, by
calling attention to some of the advantages,
of the location here, to one and all of our
people, We have also endeayored to pre-
sent some Of the many advantages to the
company of the location of their shops at
this place, in the hope that, even before any
particular steps are taken in that direction,
the attention of the directory might be called
to it and tho subject meet with a merited
consideration on their part. From the ad-
vantsges already mentioned and others which
must suggest themselves to railroad-men,
we believe that Staunton will be one of the
tcao places, the merits and dement's of which
will be discussed when the subject Of the
location of their shops comes properly before
them. We also believe, that. if our people
will exhibit that interest which this matter
seems to US to demand at their hands, and
make an united effort, both in exhibiting all
the advantages which this place offers, and
in plainly offering inducements, which our
interests directly call upon us to offer, the
directory will unhesitatingly locate their
shops here.
The repair shops Of she Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad were located at Grafton,
when that place was nothing but name,
and the mere location of them there has
built up a population Of from 1000 to 5000.
That population is well sustained and Graf
ton is. now one of the thriving towns of West
Virginia, and all within few years. May
We not look for an equal addition to pop.
ulation here from the location of the shops
of a road which will, in few years, be the
great through route from the Atlantic tt
the Pacific. and On which, perhaps, three Oh
four times Is many trains must run daily al
now run oyer the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road |? Will not such an increase of tratfi
necessitate more repairs and greater mum
Der of workmeu here, than is required a
Grafton, and consequently greater popu
iation than has been brought TO Grafton
With such prospective advantages to tow,
and country, does it not merit more interes
than it receives at the hands OF our people
Ought we not to push this matter and ieav
not stone unturned to secure their location
here, by donating the grounds, reIieyin,
from taxation &c, &c? We believe tha
not one Of the many readers of this papc
but will agree that it merits an effort. Con
slider this subject, consult together, and lie
us take the necessary steps to secure thi
good to our community. By merely wish
ing we may lose it, where an active effor
may secure it. We will have competition
Sor the location, therefore. let las put til,
hall IN motion and keep it moving till th.
end is secured. s.sas. T. ss......1.

GEN ROBERT b. LEE-This gentleman
sailed from Savannah last week to visit the
grave of his father, General Harry Lee,
("Light Horse Harry,'') situated at Dunge-
ness. Cumberland Island, on the coast of
Georgia The Savannah Republican says
General Henry Lee was during the win
ter of 1918, at the West Indies for his
health. He sailed from Nassau on the ship
'Betsey,' for Savannah on the 10Th of Feb
ruary, 1878 Instead of landing at Savan-
nah he only reached Cumberland Island
where he was received by Mrs Shaw, the
daughter Of General Greene, at the last
house Of his beloved commander and friend.
He died soon after his arrival, on the 25th
OF March, 1918. It was doubtless ccnso-
lation to him, as he could not ress:i. his
home, to have his last hours soothed " the
tender care Of the daughter Of one :. much
revered, and to know that bis ren:anis would
be placed by the side of his comrade in arms.
Dungeaess is now the property Of Mr.. VIM,
Nightingale, grandson of General Greene.
and whose guest General Lee is at the pres
ent timo.'
