tB-"That corrupt Ring deliberately
forms and dominates ticket, intrigues for
it, forces its nomination and presses its
election, without expecting to make some
thing by its success, is too absurd to think
of-unless, indeed, the people are pastoral
enough to believe that the Ring has alb
dicted its sceptre in fit of virtue, and
lain down to sinless dreams.'

CONTESTED WILLs.-At the coming
March term of the Circuit Court Of Au-
gusta, there are four disputed will cases.
The first is that of the late James Harvey
Koiner, who died near Fishersville, leav-
ing an estate valued at between $50 900
and $4,000. The will gives the widow
small amount and disinherits one Of the
children, and the widow renounces her
rights under it and claims her thirds, and
the disinherited child contests it on the
ground that the testator was not in his
right mind when it was made. The will
OF Mrs. Elizabeth Goodnight, in which she
leaves $40 each to her grandchildren and
the remainder elsewhere, is assailed by
Mr.. G. A. East on the ground of incapa-
city of the testator and undue influence.
The will of VIM. Thompson is contested
on the ground of incapacity and undue
influence, and the will of the late Reuben
D. Hill on the ground of it's being an olo-
graph will.

A UCTION GOODS
FOR CASH!
BUY RIGHT AND MONEY is ALREADY
SAVED

We buy our Goods at Auction Houses and
who has ever attended these auctions will notice
how prices fuctuate, and will mark the steady
downward tendency, sale after sale and day af-
ter day, straight through the season, affording
to real judges of good capital chances 10 under
quote the regular market by at least 20 to 35 per
cent, and to sell to the public. and to men to
retail, at less thsn the case price ct the mill.
An importer, hard up, will offer goods at cost
to raise money, but when a note is due to.mor-
row and money must De had, he tumbles his
goods into the auction rooms where cost or no
cost, they must 60. We buy them at nearly our
own price.
Money is tip-top thing, but brains is the
master. We buy our goods CHEAP and our pro-
fits are already saved and made, giving us the
double advantage Of selling at prices that must
crush the opposition, who will at once start the
cry that our goods are stolen, or that we are
| about to fail, getting up reputation for us,
without the expense of adyertising-so by iu.
dicious management we may easily turn the
enemy's guns upon his retreating line or put
him in harness upon double duty.
To-day wooden mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displayed in the auction room and
sold for half its value. Next day Hosiery
house fails, their stock goes to the same place
and sold at an immense sacrifice So, day after
day. through dozen auction houses, these
bursted merchants and these moonshine million
| aires go crushing through at prices that would
bewilder both buyer and seller, only to prove
that, in this advanced age of stubborn and un-
yielding fighting, it is your duty to make every
edge cut, and to take advantage fevery chance
these giant engines afford.
We do not pretend, nor do we wish to lead
the public to believe that we keep full or reg
ular assortment of Goods. We buy every thing at
auction, if we get it below its value without
regard to getting up an assortment-but what
we have got will be sold at astonishingly low
prices.
Our present stock consists principally of Gem
tlemens Undergarments, Clothing, Cassi meres,
Cloths, Cassinets, Hats and Caps, Notions and
all kinds of Boots and Shoes, Ladies' Shawls,
a large assortment of Furs, principally Misses
and Children.
Our auction sales will continue as heret ofore.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, to commence
at O'Clock in the evening. except at the month.
ly courts, when we will have our auction sales
in the day time, and commence at 10 O'Clock in
the morning.

SKETCH OF A STAUNTONION.-Ap or-
trait and sketch by Frank Smythe appears
in the "Chimney Corner" OF our towns
man, Maj. Ed. Mcmahon. The sketch
states that he was born in Kildare co., Ire
land in 1924 and began life as stone cut
ter. He came to New York in 1s47 and
then became superintendent Of masonry
in the construction Of the James River &
Kanawha canal. After completing his
contract on the canal he became con-
tractor on the q. & O. r. R. He built the
Red Hill Tunnel on that road, pronounc.
ed by Gen'ls Lee and Beauregard to be "a
most difficult and dangerous undertaking. y
He is a gentleman of great wealth, largely
interested in banking and manufacturing
companies in Virginia, and fourth owner
of the White Sulphur Springs. The sketch
concludes with the true remark that
Crank in his manners, genial in his ma.
ture, his breast full of sympathy for the
sufferings OF misfortunes of others, hospi-
table and generous with his means, it is
not strange that he should be universally
popular with all those with whom he is
brought into contact, either in the business
or social relations Of life.''
