1t has been determined that Staunton
is to furnish the orator for the 4th of
July, Captain James Bumgardner being
the man who will address the crowd. The
Capt. is one of Staunton's rising young
men, and we have no doubt but that he
will do justice to the great OCCASION
Rockingham Register.
As Capt. Bumgardner has filled one of
the most important offices for several years
by the popular vote of Augusta, is one of
her most prominent men and has received
strong evidences of her desire that he
should represent her in the halls of con-
grtss, we should call him risen young
man. The Register is quite correct in
it's opinion that he will do justice to the
occasion, or to any other occasion he may
be called upon to meet.
