MOUNTAIN WHIsKY.-says the Richmond WAig
the finest whisky made in this country is thai
distilled from rye in the county of Augusta. Al
the late State Fair there were several samples OIL
exhibition, either of which could have been adopt
ed standard of purify and perfection, hu
the Judges, after much tasting and deliberation
| awarded the premium to Mr.. R. w. Burke, OF
| Staunton. 1t has been often suggested that thu
health of the people would be promoted by pro
hibting the sale of any whisky that did not equa
in quality the fine products of the Augusta stills
Yet if only whisky like Burkes could be obtain
ed, would not the temptation to imhide be large
ly increased 1t is because there is certain death
in most of the ''whisky" sold, that many persons
are forced to be cautious, if not temperate
| PAPER MILL.-One Of the most profitable ane

not only in Virginia and West Virginia. but fur

would pay better. 1t is cash business, which il

operations We have the water power; now LEI
some of our of means and push take hold Of
the matter and bring it to successful consumma
ton. We will have something to say hereafter OF
this sntject.
