We desire to express our appreciation Of the
liberal patronage bestowed upon us during the
last two years by generous public. Our nusl-
ness firm being made up principally Of strang-
crs. from distance, had no reason
to expect the patronage of the community of
our adoption. except so far as It was founded
upon determination-to make our work compare
favorably, in price and quality. with that of first
class city shops. and a conviction that by SO 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 ana en-
csurages us to press forward with renewed ener-
~, and with ever increasing and charging IA
cilities
We invite an inspection of our shops by those
contemplating the purchase of machinery.
We endeavor to make all our purchases for
cash, and having a limited amount of capital, we
are consequently compelled to require cash or
negotiable note, at 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.

The Warren Sentinel furnishes US the
information that there is not school in
that county for the colored children. IF
this be SO, and we have no reason to doubt
it, it is shame aud an outrage Through
out all the rural districts, the facilities for
learning the colored children to read and
write, are very inadequate, but in other
counties they make the preteuse Of having
schools for this class. In Warren they are
more honest-they do not even pretend to
look after the ful6lment of the law in this
respect. DR.. Rufoer, the State Superin-
tendent, should pay some attention to the
county Superintendent for Warren. A few
more instances of this kind, will be argu-
ments strong enough to force through the
Civil RightsBill, with all its obnoxious faa-
lures attached.
There are at tao precinct Of Front Roy
al, the county seat Of Front Royal, 22l reg
istered cofored voters. In the recent cleo
ton for Governor, Col. Hughes received
only 80 votes in the whole county. Judging
from the action of the people of that coun-
ty in the matter of colorod schools, we may
reasonably infer that all thruthtful informa-
ton was suppressed, and the negroes Kept
! ia utter ignorance as to who were the caadi
dates, and hence the result there.

One of the Richmond papers recently 81
luded to Hon. j. e. Platte, member o.

doubt, very much, whether more active
efficient and influential member could hav4

is certainly out Of place, and in very ba'
