Valley Railroad it is proposed to have
another vote in the County On subscrip-
ton of 5000, 900. If this is so we shall be
much pleased, but we do not want Staunton
to have anything to do with this vote. We
were opposed to her voting with the County
before. She has done well by herself, and,
if the County desires TO subscribe and secure
this road let her do it, but let US keep hands
off. It will be good thing for the County,

take the initiatory steps and do her voting
without any melting thereto by Stauntonians.

Mr.. Editor In looking over the papers
find one candidate announced for Congress
in this district, and, if my information from
other parts of the district is correct, we shall
have many more. There are quite num-
Der Of gentlemen, who arc willing and anx.
ious to serve US in that capacity. Such be-
ing the fact think it is the duty of the
Conservative party to hold District Con-
vention and nominate candidate Such a
course think would be greatly to the in
terest of the party. This is no time for
free fights and scrambles before the people,
between friends for position. II we allow
all the candidates that are spoken of to run,
the Radical party will get possession of the

that the conservative party hold Conven-

FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1870.

The failure of the County of Augusta to
subscribe $1,000 to the stock of the
Valley Railroad rendered it necessary. that,
If we would secure this valuable road to this
county, some other feasible plan must be
adopted at once and vigorously pushed to
successful conclusion.
It is believed that the counties and towns
along the line will increase their subscrlp-
tons sufficiently to make up tho amount
necessary to be subscribed by counties ana
to,vns. and that the balance Of the stock
subscription will be readily taken by individ.
uals. Staunton has proposed, as will be
seen BY her ordinance elsewhere, to add tc
her subscription. Lexington has done the
same thing and Rookbridge, it isbelieved, will
also add to her already large subscription
With this hope, the Directors of the Valley
Railroad held meeting a few nights since
and determined to solicit individual subscrip-
tons. They have had prepared and put in
circulation urge number OF subscription
papers. AS the heading Of these papers
sets forth the terms and conditions very
concisely, we copy it below for the informa-
ton of our readers
"WuEREAs, the County of Augusta, in hel
corporate capacity, has declined to subscribe
the sum of $500, 900 to the Valley.Railroad,
and WHEREAS it appears evident that unless
tn said amount Of subscription be not OBJ
tanned from some reliable source, the con-
struction of the Road will have to be
abandoned
THEREFORE,, We, the subscribers, citizens
Of Augusta county, hereby promise and
bind ourselves, our heirs. &C., to take the
number of shares, opposite our names, OF
the stock of the Valley Railroad Company,
at 800 per share, and pay ~ per cent
Of the sum as soon as called upon after the
Let of October, 1870, and the remainder in
;nstallnents of one and two years"
Many, who voted against the County
subscription, are anxious to secure this road /,
and have professod their willingness and de-
termination 70 subscribe to the stock. They
can now have the opportunity. 1t behooves
all such. az we'll as those who have labored
SO earnestly in the past to secure this road,
to take the question Of individual subscrlp-
ton in hand and push it energetlcally.-
What is to DO done should be done at once
Hunt up the subscription papers and sub
scribe as literally as you can. Ii you can't
take twenty shares take ten. Ii ten is too
much take five, three, two or one. At all
events take something. Every little will
help to secure this great enterprise. A few
energetic men in each section Of the county
can readily obtain the individual subscrip-
ton necessary. We beg that few such
will take hold of the subscription papers and
work with a will for the next few weeks
The end to be secured will be Of great and
lasting advantage to all of our people, and
will amply compensate for the sacrifice and
labor of securing the subscriptions as we'll
as advantage additionally those who sub
scribe.
Put the ball in motion vigorously and let
us secure the Valley Railroad and have it
put under contract and commence deriving
advantages therefrom this Fall.
