THIS WEEKS V1RGlN1AN. - This issue of
the Virgnian is rather expensive to the proprie-
tor, as it is printed on book paper. We had made
arrangements, we thought, with the Richmond
paper company to supply our demands. Our or
der went il, and at the eleventh hour, were in
formed that it impossible to have it filed, in
consequence of scarcity of water power. We in
santly telegraphed to Baltimore for three bun
dies Of newspaper-enough for two issues. We
! received by express Saturday evening three
bundles of book paper We had no alternative
but to use enough for this issue, as our outside
| form should have been printed off Saturday.
| Well as the paper looks SO white and neat, we
| hope the fresh appearance and the fact that it
costs about double the ordinary issues. will slim
ulate our delinquent friends to come forward
promptly and pay what they owe. If they will
do this, the regret for the necessity that has
caused the additional expense shall be short
lived
| LUMBER AND CoAL.-We direct attention to the
card of H. L.. Powell, dealer in lumber and COAL
He has opened lumber and coal yard for the
accommodation of our citizens and should be
literally encouraged. He means to make these
two branches of business speclalites. Each is
essential of city, and we claim to be
such, we hope Mr.. Powell's energy and pluck in
| inaugurating them specialIties, will receive
popular favor. Towns in the West, where we
have Travelled, of half the population of Staun-
| ton, support two or three large lumber yards.
They are public conveniences, and the people
will find this one to be such after a little cxpe.

Mr.. Powell has invested heavily in ground as
site for his Coal Depot, and by the time that the
necessary preparations are made to receive and
disburse COAL the expense will have been heavy.
Let dealers to it that it at least pays him
for his trouble and venture. Besides, there is
not more deserving gentleman enterprising
citizen in our midst
PAPER MILI.-The necessity for a paper mill in
this portion of the Valley sapparent. Since the
destruction by fire of the alossy Creek Mills, the
newspapers of the Valley and paper dealers gen
orally have had difficulty in getting supplies
There are plenty of eligible sites in the county

the city, near the bridge on main street. On

by the Messrs. Hundly, of Richmond, presents
very desirable SITE 1t speculiary suited for
paper mill there is always ample supply of
pure fresh water. The building is already up,
and ali that would be necessary would be the ma
chinery and some immaterial alteration in the
structure We hope steps will be taken to init

could be no better paying investment, and the
demand would be equal to the most enlarged

ne throw out the suggestion this week, in the
hope that the attention Of some of our enterpris
ing capitalists will be attracted by it. A paper
mill OF enlarged dimensions would be a source of
great revenue to the proprietors and great ben
