The weather continues unsettled and
we.have had more or less rain every day
since our last report. A heavy thunder
and rain storm visited this section this
morning. We fear we are having too
much rain Tor the good OF the growing
crops.
The market generally speaking
has undergone no change, and
business is dull. There is very
little doing in the Flour, Hay or Oats
market. Corn is little more active, and
and the demand is iair, though transac.
tons have been light owing to the light
receipts. The tobacco market holds up
well, and the sale to-day was Que Of the
best for several weeks. The number Of
hogsheads offered was forty.one. and u
considerable portion OF them were of u
superior quality OF tobacco. 1t Is evil
dent, after looking the market
over, that the bulk OF
the better quality of tobacco
have not yet been marketed. The pr,ces

Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1877-03-01

THE Legislature is about passing a
law under the provisions Of which, no
member of town council or office of an
incorporated town can contract for any
work or furnish any article for the use
Of the corporation under penalty o.
not less than five hundred dollars. This
law may prove beneficial in large cities,
where corporation jobs are controlled
to considerable extent by rings, but
in small towns, the effect will be to ex-
clude the business men from corpora
ton Offices. If we understand the law,
Mr.. Gillock would be liable to fine for
sharpening drill for the use Of the cor
poration road-master, or Mr.. Schmitt
for selling q pound of rock powder to be
used IN blasting rocks on the public high
ways. As members Of our town coun-
Gil do not receive pay, it is question
whether business men will be willing
to hold an Office which affords no profit
and interferes with their legitimate
business.
