A NOTED IRON PROPERTY REACHED
BY RAIL AFTER NEARLY HALF CEN
ruRY.--Last week the locomotive on the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad. ran up to
the famous old Vesuvius furnac which
was put in blast as long ago as 1927. The
iron there has furnished many cannon to
the U. S. Government in its time and will
now that civilization has tapped the de-
posit furnish many more. The old eve
suvius'' furnace was put in blast in 1927
by Thomas Mayberry, a citizen Of Phila-
delphia, whose partner. VIM. Weaver who
came with him, afterwards started the
Etna furnace near Buchanan. Botetourt,
name. For twenty seven years the old
Vesuvius never went out of blast. The
name was selected by Mr.. Mayberry's step
daughter, Mrs. Margaretta Weir (mother-
in-law of Hugh F. Lyle, Esq and it is
rather remarkable that committee now
applying to the Post Master General for a
post Office there, has found that there is
not another among the many thousands in
the Union, OF a similar name. The depot
of the railroad is to be located on a part
| of the old Vesuvius tract of eight thou
sand acres. This property, with the ex
ception of one thousand acres owned by
W. S. Bryan, was purchased by Echols,
Bell & Catlett some time ago. The whole
property was bought by Mr.. Bryan's father
from Mr.. Mayberry. in 1910, the latter es
tablishing place to make the iron into
bars and Bryan to pay for the place by fur
nishing SO much iron weekly. 1t was
thought at the time that Bryan could ney;
er clear the property by that means but he
was man of such untiring energy that he
not only paid. for the property by Its pro.
duets but brought the former owner in
| debt to him. In 1854 Vesuvius furnace
went out of blast for the first time and has
since gone to ruins. The land was bought
| in conjunction with the late Capt. W. A.
Donald by Schuyler Bradley WHO had been
partner of Bryan in pillow making, but
subsequently sold out his interest in the
land to Capt. D. and in the pillow foundry
| to Mr.. H. F. Lyle. The property is situa-
| tt d jist on the Rockbridge and Augusta
line little to the left of Midway, and is
considered one of the most valuable iron
properties in the State,

A PETITION FULL OF DANeER.-The

ton to the city Council Tuesday night,
asking the privilege of running their track
under the arch bridge near the W. l.. Asy

This seems'to US to be ASKING great deal
as it virtually amounts to an approprla-
ton of the road at that point. The petit
ton was referred to the Committee on
Streets, which it is to be hoped will be
unanimous in reporting adversely. The
route of the road was to cross the G. q o.

the corner of the Asylum garden, and the
Company should be made to adhere to it.

Crop Notes.

Wheat in most parts of Missouri
is reported an abundant crop. Corn
is backward in most parts of Illinois,
but with favorable weather there
now, there would be fair yield in
many places. Wheat in Illinois is
estimated as the greatest yield ever
known. In Dakota, Spring wheat
10 of small acreage, but excellent,
while corn is good-mosty on sod
oats are excellent, and potatoes
have fine prospect; hay was never
better. Reports from ninety-six
counties in Iowa show the average
condition of corn to be 699 per cent.
The average condition of Spring
wheat in ninety flour counties of the
same.state is 81 per cent. Oats will
be u magnificent yield. The condi
ton of potatoes is So per cent.
In Wisconsin all crops, excepting
corn, are remarkably promising, and
corn, with suitable weather from now
on, will far exceed promises of two
or three weeks ago.

buncomb in it. That Green county
has claims upon the Sd District will
generally be admitted, and that she
may elect a delegation for some
fay rite son of her own withou,
reference to the gentlemen from
Dane or Grant is among the contin.
gencies. From Grant county come
limitations that Senator Ryland will
contest for that delegation in the
faith that with it at his back his
chance for nomination is fair. His
friends argue that the Senator would
receive support from Iowa and Green
equal to what Mr.. Hazelton hopes
for from Lafayette, and that to del
egates from Dane, he would be
quite as acceptable as any other
Grant county man.
From all which, it can only be
safely predicted that there is going
to be music throughout the district
before a nomination is made, and
that no pole is yet surely ofesufficient
length to reach the persimmon.

The Prohibition Victory.

1t is pretty generally known by
all ere this that the prohibition
amendment was adopted by an en-
phatic majority in Iowa. Such re-
salt was anticipated. While in the
rural districts, composed principally
of farmers, the sentiment was over
whelmingly favorable to the amend
ment. in the cities there was strong
opposition Thus it will be seen
that most of the voting for prohibi-
ton is done where there's no saloons
and little drinking, which facts lead us
to believe that the most difficult task
that of enforcing the law-re-
mains yet to be done by the prohibit
tionists. 1t has the disadvantage of
being q law adopted by one constit-
uency and imposed on another which
has voted to reject it. 1t is evident
that the amendment does not ''image
the convictions of the people of
towns like Dubuque, Davenport and
Burlington, and it will require great
ingenuity to devise a prohibitory law
which will have any appreciable in
huence upon such communities. "Of
all the states in the Union," says the
Des Moines Register, "Iowa is the
best field of hope in which to try
and prove the theory of prohibition.
The experiment, therefore, is to be
made under the most favorable con-
ditions and will be watched with in.
terest by all students of social con
ditiuns and progress. The large
majority cast for the amendment
will stimulate the advocates of pro-
hibiton everywhere and excite in
them the ambition to emulate the
example of Iowa
