Town improvements.

Mr.. EDIToR.-In common with all
our citizens, I hail the rising STAR of
Stephens City with pride and pleasure.
| hope it will date q new era in the
history and progress in our town.
One of the chief difficulties we labor
under here, and which retards the
growth and prosperity of the place, is
the want of better sidewalks on our
streets, and the need of a good walk
ing way to the Railroad Depot. Can
you not give the aid of your vigorous
pen to these pressing and important
objects? Now is the season to do such
work before the winter sets in There
is an abundant and most convenient
supply of black slate rock on and adj
joining the town cemetery lot, which
would make excellent sidewalks in the
town and to the depot.
Let the attention of the citizens and
the town authorities be drawn and
kept presiste7atly to the subject till the
good work is done.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

Twelve Reasons Why.

Twelve reasons why our farmers
should buy Steele & Bros. King Phos-
phate in preference to any other brand
in the market
1st. Because it is the best article in
the market for the price at which 1t IS
sold.
2nd. Because it is manufactured
expressly for us, and there is not two
or three agents profits upon it, you
thereby save from 5 to s dollars upon
each ton you buy.
Sd. Because it produces as good or
better results upon wheat than other
brands sold at much higher price.
4th. Because it stands almost with
out rival as Grass Producer, as
many of our best farmers will attest.
9Th. Because it is dry and fine and
in good drilling condition, any not
found so will be cheerfully exchanged.
9th. Because you can save from . to
8 dollars on each ton you buy, and
get as good or better yield of wheat,
and good stand of grass.
7th. Because you will not have to
sell your whole crop to pay your Fer
tilizer bill, as some Of our farmers did
last week, 1--WE admit last season was
a very severe one for fertilizers).
Sth. Because our leading farmers
use it, and recommend it as the cheap
est and best in the market.
9th. Because it has been sold for
three successive years and each season
grows more popular.
10th. Because it has q Slaughter
House Bone Stock base and contains
no dirt or sand to simply make bulk
18th. Because it is manufactured by
the well-known and reliable firm o.
Baugh g. Sons, who have had 25 years
of experience in the Fertilizer bust
ness. The analysis and proper me-
chanical condition Of every article or
their list is fully warranted. Guar
ranteed Pure" means on their part
legal binding obligation which they
assume. Their estimated wealth il
100000 dollars.
10Th. Because Mr.. Thos. S. Sangs
ter knows it to be the best article of
fered to the public, and has the testl
mony Of our best farmers in regard t.
its great efficiency for wheat, grass an'
corn, besides he would not solicit Gus
, tom for anything but good and trie'
article.

Tho officers of the Methodist Sun
day School deserve great credit for
the completeness of the arrangements
made for the holiday last Saturday.
What with swings and ball and Gro
quet, and the many games of rye olden
times the young America seemed
always in merry round Of excitement.
Whilst stirring strains of music from
the violin and cornet served to enter
tain the older citizens in their lapse
of convivality. And again must the
man of STARS" thank the good people
for all of those substantial dinners of
which he partook-the Lord only
knows how many.

Several large, black OMNIBUS clouds
put in their appearance last Sunday
evening, and we have no doubt that
they were destined to give us good old
time soaking. But whether they were
pursuaded of our unworthiness, or
lust left for short season to tease the
many wistful expressioned, and smile
begrimed bare heads that stood on the
balconies, and porches, and observa-
tories, and house yards to welcome these
dispensers CT rain. We are inclined
to the latter opinion. We think they
were a little too anxious; but we
know one good it did anyway.
A certain yong man of this thriving
city, who had taken his departure
from the dusty metropolis to wander
through Meadows Green" beat a
hasty retreat, and added one more
soul to the congregation which had
assembled for divine worship-what
he might have done in the absence Of
these foreboding clouds we blush to
explain.

"Why is it that G. +. Mayors succeeds
in distributing such large amount Of
merchandise among the people each
year." We append the following as
our answer
1st. His purchases are made in a
large measure direct from manufac-
turers or their agents, thus saving to
his customers the usual lobbers' profit.
I'd. From his large and varied stock
probably the heaviest carried by any
one establishment in the county,, you
can always be sure of getting just
what you want, and not be compelled
to substitute something else.
Sd. The prices at which he marks
his goods are fully ten per cent. lower
than other houses, depending for his
income rather upon the quantity han
died than high rate of profit.
4th. The prices he allows for pro-
duce in exchange for goods will al
ways be found to be shade higher
than the current market rates.
4th. His modest but pointed adver
tisement is always found in the col
umns of the Star, the statements con
tanned in which are fully corroboratec
by visit to his establishment. Ala
