have these improved, and afford the people

The enterprise and indefutigsble industry

and admiration. Many large buildings in
this county, and the adjoining counties of
l.nudoun and Clarke, anu also Of Frederick,
in Virginia, and in Mary land built by him
during the past few years, attest his capa-
bilities- In the past twelve months in this
town and along the line of the i & o. and

The very incIement weather on Sunday
detained hundreds of people from attend
ancc upon the Methodist Conference q.
Front Royal. Every arrangement, however,
had been made by the S. V. r. r. authori.
ties for transporting hther the large crowd
that, with fair weather, would undoubtedly
have gone, and Messrs. CaSs Rust, of Front
Royal, and George G. Thomas of Borryviile,
had provided the most liberal accommoda-
tions for conveying passengers betBecn the
Winchester crossing, where tho trains
stopped, and Front Royal. We regret tina.
the enterprise of these gentlemen was not
better rewarded, but Providence ruled other
wise, and they are still us accommodating
and clever as ever.

that they will offer nothing but what they
know to be good article Mr.. S. S. Dalgarn
