One of the evidences of business life here
Is the sight of many new buildings going
up, both for residences and Tor business
purposes; and frequent sales of lots, in
and near town, for immediate building
upon; which keeps mechanics employed.
1t Is pleasant to see a mountain stream
running through the heart of the city; it
has refreshing effect, besides furnishing
good drainage facilities; it also furnishes
water-pewer and mill privileges, some of
which ale employed by flour and grist
mills. There are two foundries and ma
chine shops.
The prospect Of having the Valley rail-
road opened and running from Harrison
burg to this place. during the season, is
Cheering anticipation to the people. Also
the line to Salem is now under contract,
to be soon pushed forward
MIR. Burke informs me that the Augusta
county agricultural society has purchased
new and handsome grounds for the fairs.
having sold their old location to the Valley
railroad for $25, 900; the new purchase
consists of thirty-three acres, bought for
$4,000; and they are proceeding with Law
ing out and building in fine style; and have
arranged to hold fair on the place the
18th of October next. lie informs me that
the society is in a tlourishing condition. and
expects to get up a splendid fair. The
farms, orchards and stock will doubtless
make a splendid show of their various pro-
duets.
More manufacturing is needed here. par
hcularly of agricultural implements there
Is plenty OF iron and good timber and
should capital, with skilled industry. come
and engage in that business, they would
unquestionably be amply rewarded with
very good profits. Other factories could
also do well.
As before remarked, the social advanta-
ges here are superior, there being plenty of
churches, Of the several denominations
while most of them are represented by
hrst-class female seminaries, which bring
annually several hundred young ladies and
misses to this place, adding to the revenues
as well as the pleasures of the community
and society.
