the largest ever raised in that State, amount:

pounds. The crop last year was only 81 2o''
barrels the year before $4,000, and in 1879
only 10000 Comment is unnecessary to
show the condition Of the labor element OF
that State. These figures speak for thsms

account of a sale Of blooded stock in Ken

seemed TO surprise some of our readers, and

We desire te express our appreciation of the
liberal patronage bestowed upon us during the
last two years by generous public. Our bust
pess firm being made up principally Of strang-
ers, from distance, we had no reason
to expect the. patronage of the community Of
our adoption. except so far as It was founded
upon determination to make work compare
favorably, in price and quality, with that of first
class city shops, and conviction that, by do.
ing, we would merit and obtain large share Of
that class Of work, which has not heretofore been
undertaken in this section. but which. had to be
brought from the CITIES The result has proved
the reasonableness of our expectations, and en-
courages us to press forward with renewed ener-
gv, and with ever increasing and enlarging IA
cilities
We invite an inspection of our shops by those
contemplating the purchase of machinery.
We endeayor to make all our purchases for
cash, and having o limited amount of capital, we
are consequently compelled to require cash or
negotiable note, st short time, for all work.
For the quality of our work, we take the lib
erty of referring to the following gentlemen
among the many from whom we have received
orders.

A SAVING CLAUsE.-The Republicans of
Virginia placed clause in the State peasti-
tuition forhiddiug the Legislature from in
creasing the State debt, or lending the State
credit to works Of internal mprovements.-
This is monument to its wisdom and sagac-
ity which outweighs all the appeals about
South Carolina and Louisiana. This pro-
hibitory clause has saved millions to the peo-
pie, for if we are to judge by the fifty mil
lions of debt created by the class Of men
now seeking to control the State, and the
reckless extravaganza and waste that have
sigua!ized Conservative legislation sinpe the
Constitution was adopted, it would be almost
impossible to estimate the amount that would
have been gwen away to railroad corpora
tons, but for this prohibition.
