The Twenty.second.

This should be amemorable day for Augusta,
not only on account of its being the birthday
Of Washington, but because on Feb 22d, ITS
-9S years ago next Saturday, the Freeholders
of this county met and passed resolutions up
holding the colonies, in their resistance to Eng
fish tyranny and pedging their lives, fortunes
and honor in defence OF liberty. These resolu-
tons were drawn up by Rev. Mr. Balmaine, the
Episcopal Clergyman for the Valley, and were
sent to our Delegates to Congress by Thomas
Lewis and Captain Sam'l McDonal, that day
elected to State Convention to meet in Rich
mond. They followed after the famous Meek
Ienburg resolutions, and contained the idea,
more fully developed in the Declaration Of In
dependence, by Jefferson.
Should we not, then, as a people, celebrate
this day in some suitable manner? The time
is short but let it not be said that Old Augusta
and Stanton are behind the rest of the coun-
try in honoring Virginia's great son and, at
the same time, their fathers and the fathers Of
liberty on this continent
AN ARCADIAN VILLAGE-In the Staunton
Eagle, Of September 10Th, 1907, Charles and
Thomas Clarke give Harrisonburg the follow

School for boys. They say In point of NOR
ais it is supposed that Harrisonburg can vie
with any little village Of the same magnitude
in the universe. It has been SO marked for ex-
emplary piety, and the proprlety of its internal
police that it is hoped no doubt will be entertain
ed in these respects" Though its papers give
quite different picture of the 'Old Free
Town" nova, days,we cannot forbear the pious
hope that she may still grow in grace, as the
years roll on, under the elevating labors Of

Love-making and Blasting-pow.

& festive youth, who performs his
daily avocation in the mines of Ian
der Hill. thought he would take home
a little blasting powder the other day
it might come handy to split an OBJ
stinate log he had at home. When
be started for his humble cabin in
the evening he wrapped a few ounces
carefully in several thicknesses Of pa
per, and placed it in his pocket.
when he got home he began think
ing how long it would be before he
was likely to get a crushing; and
then he thought what a nice perfume
the handkerchief extract that he
boughtlast Saturday night had, and
he said within himself that a miners
life is hard and uncertain. Then he
thought he ought to call on that
Smit6ers girl tonight. He thought
of everything but that powder in the
pocket Of his coat.
After supper he concluded to drop
in and see that Smithers girl. He
got his necktie in proper shape; his
handkerchief was perfumed like unto
a new-blown rose; one oiled lock
hung gracefully down on his forehead,
and he started for the domicil of his
sweetness. This young man is color
ing meerschaum, but his girl de-
tests the horrid smoke; so when he
got to the door he knocked the bowl
Of the meerschaum on his manly heel
and put it in his pocket. Of course
he didn't intend to put it in the same
pocket with the powder. His afini-
ty met him at the door with a sweet
smile on her beauteous countenance,
welcomed him to the paternal man
sion, and invited him into the parlor
and to a seat on the sofa. They got
engaged in conversation. He asked
her II it wasn't beautiful evening,
and then she Inquired how he liked
the dress Miss Brown wore at church
last Sunday. He said he didn't like
it abit, and she remarked that Miss
Brown was stuck-up thing anyhow;
and all The time that pipe was insid-
ioualy burning its way through that

maybe he'd strike lie pretty soon, and
then you'd see who'd wear plug hats.
She TOLD him that she thought plug
hats so becoming, and then he was
goingto tell her he adored her; that
she wasthe darling of his soul, and
that all his happiness was centered in
her No. z boots. But he was inter
