DIR HOME FIGHT,

It Is hardly of use to say word to a
legislative ticket nominated. Every gen.
tleman on it is as well known to him in
public life as his next door neighbor is in
social life. They bring three records un-
spotted by any sort of Flemish. Each one
has time and again held in his care the
trust of the people of his county and re-
turned it to them again untarnished. 1t
is ticket notably representative of the
Augusta PEOPLE. their peculiar character
istics, their mode of thought, their virtues
and their tastes.
Maj. Koiner is just fresh from long
public course distinguished by conserva-
tive, upright, frank action on all public
questions, and yet with that liberation for
opposing views which is the result of true
conservative thought.
Maj. Hanger is gentleman whose po-
litical course has been run on high plane
and kept free from all time serving and
the warp of expediency. OF him may be
said what we wish could be truthfully said
of more men in our public affairs, that
there are no questions upon which his con-
stituents do not know exactly where they
can put their finger on him.
Col Skinner has for many.years been out
of the, public service. as the term goes.
though in those years we expect he has
done more real service both to his people
aud his party than nine-tenths of those
who have been in more active political
lite. He is gentleman of the highest
ability, with delicate sense Of right that
is the essence OF chivalric honor, and with
perfection of oratory that will be inval
liable in the halls of legislation.
Taking it all in all we think we may
safely assure our people that from the one
hundred counties to be represented
in the legislature this winter, no delega-
tion will come which will have more in
tellectual and moral weight than that from
old Augusta.

A LADY in thH Matter.

That woman s wit is often superior to
man IS WISDOM" was co1vincingly proved
in circumstance that occurred in this
city recently. 1t appears that Mr.. Lud-
wig Schwarzler, a widely known Grocer on
Station Road, suffered with very pain
full rheumatic headache to such degree,
that he was obliged to seek the aid of a
physician. All medicines he used were of
no avail. This induced Mrs. Schwarzler
to buy St. Jacobs Oil. She procured a
bottle for her husband. With the second
application he found relief. The pain left
him, and he is as we'll as ever again. A
remedy acting as promptly as this certainly
deserves universal patronage.

GOSHEN, VA, Oct, 5, 81.
The operations of the great English
Company at Victoria furnace, three quar-
ters OF a mile from this place, and through
out the eleven miles of railroad to the
mines have changed things very much in
this locality, Capt. VIM. N. Page. the
Superintendent, is pushing the work with
great energy and has the assistance of
competent and efficient men who have not
gotten old enough to be slow.
The foundation of the furnace, heavy
work in itself has been laid far below and
brought up to the surface, and also eight
or ten feet of heavy stone masonry for the
main building, built. Nearly six hundred
hands are now engaged on the work and
in few DAYS Mason & Hoge will bring
200 conyicts additional. A double track
Will be laid from this place to the furnace
and single one from there to the mines,
ten miles further. The stack will be 22O
feet high and the furnace greatly larger
than any ever built in the Virginas. Il will
be of double the capacity of Low Moor.
A number of large two story dwellings for
the superior class of employees are In con-
struction upon the wooded ridge TO the
right of the Lexington pike. These alone
will make handsome village; at a
convenient DISTANCE will be built the com
missary, Office, mess hall, and ether build
ings and in the neighDorhood OF the mines
a town of smaller houses for the opera
tives and miners. To complete all the
york contemplated before the furnace
goes iGto operation will require at least
eighteen months, and five millions OF prick,
and | don't know how many hundred
thousand feet of lumber will be used.
There are two immense brick yards turn
ing out about 10000 brick per day and
even at that rate twill take five months
to get enough brick made. The hauling
for this big work is done by 80 four-horse
