STAUNToN LIGHTNING ROD WORKS.
muNsoN's TUBULAR
COPPER LIGHTNING ROD,
WITH SPIRAL FLANGES.
This Celebrated Lightning Conductor, owing to the
material OF which 1t is made, and the manner of its
constructions the most complete protection against
disaster by lightning ever invented. This is con-
clusively shown by practical test Of over twenty
four years. during which time it has been in con-
slant use, being erected upon many thousands of
private and public buildings, in all sections of the
country and although there have fallen upon it, il
numerous instances, most terrific discharges of
electricity yet instance has it failed to conduct
them harmlessy to the earth, thus saving many
lives and property of almost incalculable value.
kY-It Has Never Been Overcharged It has
Never Failed.
The experience of one hundred years has shown
that where all necessary rules are observed pro-
lection Is perfect.
At the present day no one will deny the necessity
and duty resting upon us to vaccnate our children,
and thus protect them from the fearful rayages Of
small pox, in fact. can there be found in any COM
muntty an Intelligent man who will not acknowledge
an imperative duty resting upon every one to not
only use means, but the very best means of protec
ton to them and theirs against all dangers arising
from any source whatever. A few dollars judicious
y expended in lightning rods will securely protect
all the buildings that almost any possesses and
II life property is sacrificed in consequence of
neglecting such protection, can We hold ourselves
blameless, will not the dead cry out of the ground
against us? VIII not the living censure for OPP
portuntties neglected The feeling alone that man
has done all in his power to make his family and
property safe from the destructive effects of light
mig IL worth far more than the cost of all the
lightning rods necessary to such protection.

miles in this State, and for this great enter.
prise the Stato hus never paid single cent
Our old towns through which tho road
passes have nearly doubled their population,
nnd their trade has been moro than doubled.
New towns with stores, churches aud schools
have sprung up all along tho road. The
daily mail has been put at the very doors Of
hundreds of pooplo who, before the build
ing of the Air Line, never saw daily
paper. Tho fact is, this same Air Line
Road, tho SO called commercial enemy Of
the State, is civlizing the backwools pcoplc,
these up country crackers, so long o
subject Of dcrision Coz the more refined Of

rectors of this same Road have induced
many families to move in and settle upon
our unoccupied lands; and now they arc
starting out an itinerant land Agent, who
will visit overy depot, and take list of all
real estate for sae and they will advertise
these lands, and in this way they will grad
ually increase our population. This same
