AN ASSEMBLY COMMISSIONERS ON
SrAuNToS. MIR. W. Marshall, OF Hen.

to tho General Assembly here thus
writes home TO his county paper his i'm.
prcssions of Staunton: Take all the bic
hills around Henderson, set them M on
edge. aud pile the little bills on top Of
them, and the result woult. be a mode
rately undu,a.ing location as compared
with the situation here. Tho town is
built on. around anil between bills, from
800 to 600 feet high. No wonder the
air is pure and tho people healthy, for
they have plenty OF exercise il thcy at
tempt to go out, and, as suppose walk.
ing up bill would call into reauisition
one set OF muscles and walking down
hill another, i should think by the
time one made tho circuit or the
town every muscle in the body would
have been fully and sufficiently cxercis.

loot streets and 16 foot sidewalks, 40
1907 streets, with . foot sidewalks, scems
10 say the least, fearfully iuconvenient.
10 say nothing of tho countryman who
happens To como TO town and must nc =
cessarty drive around square or two
TO get his wagon turned homcwartls a
gain; just think of fellow who nigh;
be promenadiny the street with his girl,
and every couple he met he should have
to break ranks and take il Indiun file or
take the gutter. But. after all, Staun-
ton is nice old town and the people
hero OF tue best il the land. The la
dies arc very handsome and dress " ith

worthy descendants of our dear old Vir-

it can be readily disposed Of before it
