question of reinstating ex-police-

Democrats were signing a petition

who have sense of justice enough
to make reparation to a good and
efficient officer, who has been most
shamefully wronged.

ADMISSION oF PrpILs


Moved by Mr.. Maltz, supported by Mr..
Morse that,
WHEREAS, our school rooms are
crowded 10 their utmost capacity, all
the available desk room being occupied
and some children OF lawful age being
scarcely able to get comfortable school
accommodation, and,
WHEREAS, the fact is TO be attributed
largely to the intense interest manifest
ed by our citizens in the cause of edu-
cation, and perhaps in a small degree to
the fact that n considerable room is oc-
cupied by children who are under age,
aud,
WHEREAS, it is universally acknow-
lodged by educators of undOubted abil-
ity, that the age of five years is early
enough for children to attend school
and experience proves that the absence
OF such young children allows the elder
classes to be taught with less Interrupt
ton and greater success, therefore,
RcsoiCed, that the Superintendent he
and is hereby instructed TO allow no
children to attend our public schools
who are under five years OF age. Ayes

a friend handed us q small pamphlet on u.
W. Barnett's process of curing tobacco" 1t is
made up of certificates voluntarily given him
by growers Of the weed in Montgomery, his
native county, Roanoke, Floyd, and some Of
our native Thinkers. His tobacco took the pre-
MUM at Lynchburg four years consecutively.
John W. Carroll, Staunton man, and who has
attained not only worldwide reputation for
Lone jack and his other brands of fine to-
bacco, but fortune besides, was the purchaser
of lot of it at $3.50 per pound, the highest
price ever obtained in that market. On this
fine tobacco of Barnett's, the Grand medal
awarded Carroll at the Paris Exposition was
based. This process cures GU tobacco uniform
color and tough, and bright, yellow, and brown
Or dark ad ibitun. It economies room in the
barn, time and fuel, and preserves the oil, gum
and weight over the old process, and creates
the silky, buckskin feel and appearance. 1t
will add immensely to the value Of the crop
everywhere. This being SO, why cannot our
farmers in the Valley diversity their crops and
make tobacco a part of it. II Connecticut and
Pennsylvania, SO much farther north, can grow
it, and make SO much money out of 1t, why
can't Augusta? We learn that Mr.. Geo. W.
Swoope made nine hogsheads year ago, and
was well satisfied with the experiment. Wealso
learn that one or more of the Messrs. Hamilton
will grow it on Christians creek this summer.
A friend, who is well informed. says those slate
lands will grow fine quality of tobacco. We
will take very great pleasure in heraldng the
success OF any of our farmers in this direction,
satisfied, as we are, that in farming, as in any
other pursuit, tits we'll not to carry all of our

Mr.. Gooch called attention to the small
amount estimated for the fire department as
being Inadequate, basing his remarks on the
amount necessarily expended this and the past
year, and being far below what he, as chair
man of the committee OF fire. had applied for,
and while he accepted the amount provided
for him, lac entered his protest against such
small appropriation, and objected to asking
hereafter for an additional sum in case of an
emergency in the department.
Mr.. Evans assured hiRa that no committee
had received the amount called for, and prom
ised assistance when emergency required an
additional sum.
MIR. Byers, chairman of the water committee,
moved to make the water appropriation $3.50
instead of 81, 500, as the last named amount is
insufficient to run tho department and lay the
new pipe already ordered on Fayette, Fillmore
Kalorsraa, from Virginia Hotel to railroad
bridge at gas house, and round Sears hill, on
Coalter. Green and Frederick Streets which
alone will require over $4,000, Of which he has
on hand near 8, 500 of material. Some of these
streets should be supplied forthwith; for in
