TIE article by Merchant" in the
TRIBUNE two weeks ago, and that
by "a star n of the grain buyers in
the last Democrat in general opinion
are merely the productions of grum-
bling, disconnected, never-sa satisfied
parties. That each, in their minds,
are right is evident in the efforts
put forth, but it will be admitted by
any one who chooses to ascertain the
facts Of the matter in question, that
both writers are imbued with the
wrong spirit, only entertaining per-
S0naI welfare. Mineral Points busi.
ness men, are as honest, fair deal
ing and Industrious as those Of any
town or city in the state, and we feel
proud Of the fact, bat there is exhibit
ed IN the articles published lack OF
harmony, which, if continued, viii
prove detrimental to themselves as
well as the city. 1t can be seen by
comparison that the prices paid for
grain and ores, and the prices asked
for dry goods, groceries, and all
essentials OF everyday life will show
favorably, from one end of the year
to the other, with any well regulated,
successful market of ahe country.
Some farmers may and probably do
growl little, but the large majority
are ready to concede that on the
whole Mineral Point is reliable
market, and place where just and
honorable dealings are rigidiy exer-
cised. The welfare demands har-
mony among the business men. They
should fall in the ranks and keep
step in the grand march DER the
path that leads to prosperity, then
all of US will be the gamers, individ-
ually and collectively.

substantial members, the society
is sure OF great success in the future,
notwithstanding the contrary opin-
ions of outsiders. Its fairs have all
been par excellence - inferior to
none in the state, and is bound to
continue as such.

[Fron Dr. Holmes Phillips Academy Poem.]
Time works strange marvels, since troo the
green
And swung the gates, what wonders nave seen
But come what will-the Sky itself may fall
As things Of course the boy accepts them all
The prophets chariot, drawn by steeds OF flame,
For daily use our travelling millions claim;
The face we love, sunbeam makes our own;
No more the surgeon hears the sufferers groan
What unwrit histories wrapped in darkness lay
Till shoyeling Schlieman barred them to the day!
Your Richelieu says it is well, my Lord
The pen is (sometime) mightier than the sword
Great is the goosequil, say we all amen!
Sometimes the spade is mightier than the pen;
1t shows where Babels terraced walls were raised
The slabs that cracked when Nimrods palace
blazed,
Unearths Mycen@, re-discovers Troy
Calmly he listens, that immortal boy.
A new Prometheus tips our wands with fire,
mightier Orpheus strains the whispering WIRE
Whose lightning thrills the lazy winds out-run
And hold the hours as Joshua stayed the sun
So swift, in truth, we hardly find place.
For those dim fictions known as time and space
Still anew miracle each year supplies
See at his work the chemists OF the Skies
Who questionsSirius in tortured rays
And steals the secret OF the solar blaze.
Hush! while the window-rattling bugles play
| The nations airs hundred miles away
That wicked photograph bark! how it swears
Turn it again and make it say its prayers
And was it true, then, what the story said
OF Oxford's frar and his brazen head?
While wandering science hands, herself perplexef
At each days miracle, and asks "what next ?"

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1879-09-11

PROSTATE state Of Virginia which now affords
this exceptional opportunity to acquire cuti-
waited land at a price which has no parallel
in the history of any country. The cultiya-
ton of land is at all times, and everywhere
the foundation and source of wealth.
The climate in Virginia much resembles
our own. The rain fall is greater than here,
but the number of dry days is there also
very much greater. The great Valley OF
Virginia called the Shenandoah Valley has
an average altitude of 1890 feet above the
sea. Shenandoah in the expressive language
OF the red man signifies s'the River of the
beautiful daughter Of the Stars" 1t lies be-
tween the Blue Ridge mountains and the
Allegheny which run northeast and south
west through the entire length OF the state.
In consequences of Its altitude the Valley
climate is much milder than the climate
in Eastern Virginia, and also owing to
its mountains there is greater rainfall.
In Virginia the people, climate, laws, reli-
gion, institutions and social habits are thor
oughly English.
The Valley of Virginia was first visited by
lily in 1716. The Lewises came from the
County of Londonderry in Ireland and at the
present day the great bulk Of the Valley
people are either North Of Ireland people or
descendants OF people from the North of Ire
land. The lands in the Valley are much
more fertile and productive than the lands
in Eastern Virginia. George Washington
in his report to Sir John Sinclair in 1896,
writes ''The western parts OF Virginia more
especially above the Blue mountains in my
opinion will be considered, il not considered
so already,a s the "garden Of Americas for
asmuch as it lies between the two extremes
of heat and cold, partaking in degree OF
the advantages of both, without feeling much
the Inconvenience Of either, and with truth
it may be said, is among the most fertile
lands in America east Of the Appalachian
Mountains In another place he writes
ssThe Valley lands are the richest we have"
In 1870 Burrit writes "This Valley is one OF
the most beautiful, fertile and delightful re-
glons on the American Continent"
To investors in Ian the present prices in
Virginia are most tempting; large tracts may
be purchased, and ii retained in hand for a
short time would quadruple in value. But
apart from the land itself, it is important to
observe that mineral wealth lies beneath,
which some day will yield ducal revenue
to those who have the foresight to become
owners thereof. The mineral resources OF
Virginia are exceedingly valuable. In this
respect she is the richest state east OF the
Rocky Mountains; yet till now the mining
operations in Virginia have with few excep-
tiosn been confined to what may be called
mere scratching.
