New Application Of Water Power.

The VINDICATOR which our subscribers
receive this morning is worked off on a.
press run bywater power. The water is
applied by a machine called the "Backus
Water Motor, which is small iron box
not larger than a cheese box and much the
same appearance, standing on a light
frame something like a sewing machine.
This contains wheel and upon the cir
conference of the wheel is turned stream
of water not larger than lead pencil. This
simple but wonderful affair turns with
ease both of the VINDIDAToR presses at
the most rapid rate and as steadily as clock
work.
A large number of our citizens were in
the office last night, to see the novelty
start. The connections to the street pipe
were made by Mr.. Geo. W. Eyler, one of
our first machinists, assisted by Messrs.
The. Long, Charles Trayer, Jack Hilbert,
Arch. Long, Capt. Michael Cox, and
others. Our citizens. who desire to witness
this novel machine in operation, can Call
at the office any time during the day and
see it. We purchased it through Messrs'
w. H. II. Lynn and Geo. W. Eyler, who
are the agents here for it.
The LAWN PARTY AT WAYNEsBoRo.-
The Waynesboro Tribune" says that the
lawn party for the benefit of the Metho-
dist church there on the night of the 4th
inst, yielded $175 and adds.
The feature of the evening was the pre-
senting of a handsome cake to the pretti-
est lady present. Parties from Staunton
nominated Miss Katie Cushing, and some
of the young gentlemen of this section
nominated Miss Mamie Hanger, near
Fishersville. The voting was lively and
was kept up until the StauntOn folks had
to leave for home, at which time the polls
were closed, and it was found that Miss
Cushing had a majority Of ten. The Way
nesboro boys asked for another minute to
vote; which was granted, but before the
vote was cast the StauntonianS had the
cake on their way to the depot. The
Waynesboro boys gave the votes, which, if
fair, put Miss Hanger ahead, but we deci-
dedly incline to the opinion that Miss
Gushing was fairly elected, inasmuch as
when the judges closed the polls they had
no right to reopen them, especially since
the StauntOn people were compelled to
hurry off before the other voting could be
done. Miss Hangers friends stood up
manfully for her, and after the prize cake
had been taken by Staunton they gener-,
ously presented her with another very
beautiful one.
Among the visitors present were the
Stonewall Brigade Band, a part of the
West Augusta Guards and Staunton Al
tillery, besides a large number of persons
from Staunton. The receipts at the door
were 81. AS the admission fee was only
ten cents we may safely say there were six
hundred persons present. The ''Interna-
tional'' was decidedly the most successful
entertainment held in Waynesboro for
many day.

3,349 barrels of extra, 279 barrels of family,

The inspections are small, owing to the
fact that the farmers are holding back for
better prices.

sweetest dream of her life, and to
know that by her own folly she had
lost it all.
Before she went to bed she took the
letter and enclosed 1t to Dora. She
wrote only q few lines:
Professor Lee left letter for you
one day when you were not at home,
and I did not give it to you. found
it to-day, and send it to you. / have
read it. and know how near happiness
came to me-
She could not bring herself to con-
fess In plain words, why it never had
been given. But her heart accused
her bitterly enough, and she slept up
on pillow wet with tears of sorrow
and repentance. Hard, indeed, was
the punishment of her wrong-doing.
n
1t was peaceful Sabbath day. The
air was sweet with scents of new
mown grass and clover, and the birds
sang in the elms outside the open
windows of the little church, and all
the world seemed In Sabbath mood.
Lucia Dare heard little ripple of
surprise run over the congregation
just before the sermon began, and
raised her head to see, coming down
the aisle-Professor Lee.
He came straight to her pew. She
made room for him, while her heart
was in wild fiutter of hope and love
and gladness, and he sat down beside
her, reaching out his hand in a word
less greeting, which held a powerful
eloquence in its long, close clasp.
Lucia heard not word of the SER
mon. Her heart was too full of many
emotions for that. She was glad when
it ended.
When the benediction was over he
turned to her.
i have come to ask you a question ]
should have asked long ago. May ]
walk home with you and tell you
what 1t is?'
At last they were free from the
crowd of old friends who clamored
for hand-shake with the professor,
and he drew her hand within his
arm.
L received letter from your sister
two or three days ago, and the few
words she wrote sent me here he
said, when they were out In the
pleasant street alone. You know
now what the question is / have come
to ask
Let me tell you what I did, she
said while her eyes filled with tears of
shame and her cheeks burnt; and
then she confessed the disgraceful
deed which had kept them apart SO
long.
You have had your punishment
he answered, gravely. If what you
did was for love of me, 1 am sure that
I may hope you will not say No when
1 ask you to be my wife. That is the
question that l have come to ask.
What answer have you to give meT
What her answer was, you know,
o reader, as well as if 1 were to tell
you.
