U,o THE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY.

has been custom, long indulged in, of using the
Court house the county court days for the pur

meetings and discussions Therefore, we would
suggest that meeting Of the citizens of the county
be had on the 10th day of September, at P. A. Bay

them on the subject, and to devise means. If posi-

Cincinnati Exposition.
Special to the YIRGINiAN.
INCINNATI Aup 90


CINCINNATI, Aug, 80.
The preparations for the Exposition are
rapidly approaching completion and each
davis work but adds to the certainty of a
great success. Over one hundred thousand
dollars worth of pictures will be on exhi-
bition in the Fine Arts Department,
many of them the production of artists
who have a worldwide ,eputat ion. 1t is
doubtful if so fine a collection, represent
ing soymany different schools of art, has
everbeen seen in this country.
The pageant is swelling in proportions
as the day draws near. Everybody wants
to take hand, and the way the thing
booms is astonishing. 1t promises to be the
grandest parade eyer witnessed in this city,
and strangers are being attracted from all
directions. Already large parties from
New Orleans have secured hotel accom- mo-
dations, and citizens of other cities are do
ing the same. The day has been declared
a holiday and a Il business will be suspended.

Death of Judge MOncure.

We publish elsewhere brief sketch O
the life and public service of Judge r. G
L. Moncure, whose death occurred at his
home near Fredericksburg, on Friday last
The announcement, though long expected
will carry sorrow to every section of the
State. This Commonwealth has never pro.
duced purer man, a more sincere Chris
tian or ADLER jurist than Judge Moncure. He
gave his life to the State His conscien-
tious, unselfish devotion to the duties of his
high position, was an example to all who as
pire to public trusts. .fPhat devotion was re-
paid by an affection and vcneration such as
few characters evoke. Great as his talents
unquestionably were, it was the rarity of his
moral grandeur. the severeness of his simple
ity, the beauty of his Christian worth, that
drew to him the tribute of peoples love.
The years of his life were many. His hair
grew white and his step feeble in the service of
his State, but throughout that long career the
ermine that he wore received no spot nor
stain, and now dcscends unsullied by a
thought, much less deed

To restore the Bourbons to power again,

Winfield Scott, Esq, Was nominated by
the Coalition Convention in the Fifth Dis
trct, for Congress. on the oath, after an ex-
citing contest. Col. w. E. Sims, whose
manly letter we published last week, re-
nouncing Bourbonism, addressed the Con-
vention in elaboration of his views, and
fully identified himself with the Liberal
Party and movement in Virginia. The
Wing refers to Mr.. Scott's nomination as a
good one, and predicts his election over Mr..
Cabell, the Democratic incumbent. The
duty of all who are opposed to Bourbonism
is now to unite upon the nominee and give
him an earnest and active support. The
Liberals ought to carry the Fifth District.
and they will do it if there is the right kind
of spirit prevailing. Let them bury all
differences for the sake of the cause.

DIR. Bliss thinks he ought to be paid $4,000
for his professional services TO the late Presi-

amounted to 81, 500 per week, and health re-

PRESIDENT illness, were assigned as reason
in justification of the claim.

Dedication at Lacev SPRINGS.

Sabbath, August 9th, 1882, was a good day
| for the United Brethren Church in this great
| Shenandoah Valley. 1t was the occasion OF
| the opening. at Lacey Springs, of one of the
| most beautiful and commOdiOus houses OF
worship in the Valley. The church is brick
structure, about 40x60 feet, with lower story
for lecture or Sunday school and other uses,
the second story being the main audience
room. The excellent architecture in approved
and modern-church style; the stained win
| dows; the trcscoing pulpit furnishing light
ing by means Of a reflector from the centre ;
all make it q very pleasing audience room, in
deed. 1t is credit and blessing to the church,
and an honor to those who built it. 1t was
erected at q cost of about $500, but under
ordinary circumstances would have cost
So 900.
On Sabbath morning, Rev. j. W. Holt, D.
d., of Dayton, Ohio-editor of the Religious
Telescope, preached an excellent sermon to a
densely packed audience and then asked them
naming on the building, saying that 81 $685.
49, would be required to free the house so that
it could be given to God. So large an amount
as this required a ''protracted effort" but on
Monday morning the amount was secured
Quite number Of ministers were present on
the occasion among them the pastor, Rev A.
HooYer; the presiding elder, Rev. j. w. Funk;
Revs. j. w. Howe, j. r. Holt and A. Z. Funk
hOuSer.
While a number of the citizens and friends
did nObly in contributions to the good cause
some who should have embraced the privilege
of giving 800 each, satisfied themselves with
giving $3.50 or IS. But while they have
their money the community have the church
May neither be disappointed in their treasures
The principal work and paying fell upon Mr.
A. q. Long, who cheerfully shouldered the re-
sponsibility and became the head of the build
ing committee, and in the end, gave 81 400 to
complete the enterprise. How the world
needs men with large, warm hearts! The
earncstness and zeal with which the United
Brethren church is pushing its work. and en-
bracing the opportunities open to 1t, is
telling greatly in its increased success
Never were the prospects SO bright for this
vigorous denomination as now "The fields
are ripe" and they are entering to reap.
