EDlXDuRG, July I'd, 1872


My communieation in last
weeks Herald, was like lady's lcIt.r, the
whole gist of the thing left to IT, expressed
in postscript. forgot to mention the fact
that the price levied upon the salt by the
county court was intended 10 pay The ex
penses Of getting il here and distributing it !.
The price laid upon tliat portion furnished
by Stewart, Buchanan & Co. was fixed At
5 cts per pound, while shat purchased Of
Col. Clarkson, was raised TO IL cts. | rec
collect Of remsrking to the court. that l
thought less amount, say about cts
would be amply sufficient 30 pay for tle salt
and cover all contingent expenses, but as
prices were rapidly advancing, it was deem
ed best TO pu: the price at 10 cents.
The expenses of getting the salt from the
saltworks to this county amounted 10 up
wards of $50, 600 including the amount paid
Col. Clarkson and comm ssioners for dis
tributing Sc.
paid Messrs. Mcdaniel s. .Irby, Lyn CHI
burg. for freight from the salt&orks to Char-
louisville, commission &C.. $9,926.62 To
the Agent at Staunton, $l,70o 90, for haul"
ing from 5tannton So 909.30.
Could the court have had the advantage
which you enjoy, and which We all now
have, Of looking rstrospsctively upon .the
past ten years, they might possibly have
modified their course to some extent: Salt
must be had, and it had to be procured up
on such terms as the Legislature had provi-
ded. The salt might haye been furnished at
a somewhat lower figure, could they have
foretold just to dot, what tho expenses
would bs,
There was considerable surplus left
over, and the court deemed it best to invest
- l..
those bonds are not very valuable.
There are few men, I presume who passed
through the late war without making spme
Investments, or making some business trans
actions which viewed from. our present
aged. which proves the truth Of Bell Apps
wise saying shat. "Our foresight is rorss than

ored as agent for the county, 10 carry out

q word in their defence. The people Of

who have mads up their minds that there
was acknowledgement, and who stick to it

Mr.. Editor:
We have, but few days
since, visited Orkney Springs the "place Of
pleasure" There being about, according TO
our estimation, tive hundred persons there.
The place presents quite a lively scene and
all ssem TO be enjoying themselves finely. A
small number of the "Valley's fairsst
daughters" are among the company whilst
other portions of tho county it is anticipate
ed, will soon be represented. Messrs.
Bradford & Cootes have improved their
buildings, which will, no Doubt present
creator attractions, this season, than ever
heretofore.
Mr.. Jonas Basye, living at Powder
Springs" has fine field of corn and antlci-
paies it to yield rs much to the acre as any
in the Valley of Virginia.
The recent eopious rains have had quite q
charming effect on corn and late vegetation.
Tie oldest citizens kere regard the late
drought as ihe longest and most disastrous
for many years. The streams we think
the Valley than at present.
Some Of our farmers have threshed, .heir
crops of wheat and find it to yield q great
deal more than was anticipated.
MIR. Wm. j. Moffett, the agent OF the
station, is very clever and accommodating
young man. May he live long to enjoy the
occupation of Depot agent.
In conclusion we will say that the people
are exceedingly healthy in this community
Money is almost out of the question, but
there is one consoling reflection in this case,
every body is in the sa3e fix.
