The names marked with double asterisk
81 were on, both tickets, and were elected.
Those in romans marked with single were
on the primary ticket and not on the Citizens
ticket, and were elected. Those in italics
marked with an were on the Citizens ticket
and not on the primary ticket, and were elected
The contest cannot be said to have had any
political significance. 1t was simply the pro-
test of the citizens of the Second Ward against
ring rule, and the conduct of those who had
undertaken to accomplish by means of pri-
mary what they knew could not be accomp-
lished by the free ballots of the voters To
make this protest as pronounced and emphatic
as it could be made, Col. Bumgardner, the
only gentleman who had been substituted for
an old councilman, was defeated; Capt. F. B.
Berkeley, who led the ticket in the primary,
escaped defeat by only four votes, and Mr. P
ii. Trout, who came near being thrown out in
the primary-being the lowest successful can
didate-was placed at the head of the list.
thus reversing the whole programme as laid
out by the primary leaders. No special fight
was made against Capt. Berkeley, who is per-
sonally one of the most deservedly popu-
lar citizens of Stanton. His name was omit
ted from the "Citizen's" ticket, we suppose,
simply to show that the leading candidate of
the primary, although a gentleman whom
everyone liked, would find it difficult to Sc
cure the endorsement of the voters of his ward
if it were designed to defeat him.
Nor would it be fair to guage Col Bum
gardeners personal popularity by the result of
the election Tuesday. Men voted and worked
against him that day WHO, under other cir
cumstances, would have been glad to show
their friendship for him. As we stated before.
he was regarded as peculiarly the representa-
tive of the primary, and it was against the
primary and the influences which brought it
about, that the earnest and effective protest
was made.
MIR. Evans did not desire to re-enter the
council, where, for many years, he was one of
the most active members He allowed the use
OF his name on the "Citzen's" ticket because
he was opposed to the primary and all it rep
resented

AN OUTRAGE IN ROCKINaHAM.-On We'd
nesday last at the residence of Maj. Arch.
Taylor, near Keezletown. Rockingham coun-
ty, an outrage was perpetrated on a young
lady named Ada Black. aged about eighteen
years (whose father was violently killed a few
years ago), the particulars of which are as fol-
lows: Two men and a woman, supposed to
be gypsies, visited maj. Taylor's, the two men
going inside apd the woman remaining on the
outside of the dwelling. While the diabolical
act was committed one of the Wretches held
the victim. There were none OF Maj. Tayl0rs
family at home, and no one near enough to
give the alarm. Miss Black described the men
as dark complicated, of youthful appearance
enc with moustache and the other clean
shaved. She was struck in the side and head,
and partially disabled before the hellish act
was committed. Fhe country around Keezle-
town is ablaze with indignant people who are
on the search for the criminals, and who, if
caught, will be very apt to meet with swift
retribution. The Governor on Saturday Of
fered reward of 800 for the arrest of the
two men and the woman, the proclamation of
which will be found in another column.

Local Optton-Thursday last our citizen:
had the opportunity of expressing their pref
erence for or against the sale of intoxicating
liquors within one mile of the corporate lin
its of our town. At the close of the poles on
that evening, it was found there were 1913 votes
against license to 10 for it. The majority OF
the colored voters cast their votes against IL
cense. Since the list of May, when the bar
rooms were all closed by the expiration of
their license, our town has gone through a
considerable change. Everything is quiet, and
1t IS rather getting to be q novelty to see
man "half seas over" now. Some predict
that the closing of the saloons will be disad-
vantage to our town; others predict that it
will ultimately rebound to its credit But, as
IN everything else, slime will tell" The vote
on this question is the largest that was ever
cast in this borough, and is attributable to the
fact that the law gave voters living within one
mile OF the corporation the privilege of voting
on'this question.
- -1osom Cou''ciI.-The following persons were
elected councilmen to serve for the next yea
from July 1st. 1882: Messrs. Geo. A. Bruce, j.
a. Patterson, T. Fl. Antrim, c. r. Haines Jas.
A. Fishburne, Drs A. @. Fox and w. ]. Jones.
1he 1aeao RoQd Blu did not meet with much
favor from farmers hereabouts. Nearly every
one that heard express an opinion was op-
posed to it, and if it met with no more favor
in other sections of the county than it did
here, it must certainly haye been defeated. 1t
had nothing torecommend it, and many things
that were Objectionable, and if It had become
a law, which hope it has not, many years
will pass by before its unjust pr DIVISIONS are
repealed.

The Citv Election.

Last Thursday was held one of the quietest
and vet most hotly contested elections ever
known in Staunton. Both parties eoncentra-
ted their forces in the Second Ward, and from
sun up to shutdown men were working like
beavers tor their candidates. In the primary
election held the Tuesday previous, Mr. Geo.
w. Nav, one of the most active and efficient
members of the Council. had been defeated by
Col. VIM. L. Bumgardner With this excep-
ton the old Council in the Second Ward was
renominated, Capt F. B. Berkeley leading the
ticket and Mr. p H. Trout, who had never
favored the primary, being the lowest man. ;
We do not beieye that single member OF
the old Council was in sympathy with the
primary in its inception. They were gradual
ly dragged into il, however, and finally all con-
sented to submit their claims in the prelimi-
nary contest. AS stated above, Mr.. May was
defeated in the Second Ward, and Maj. Elder,
one of the most valuable of the old members,
was defeated in the First Ward by Mr. Jno.
Burns In the same ward Mr.. Isaac Witt was
chosen to succeed Mr. j. A. Cochran, who was
nominated for Mayor
Only one day interviewed between the pri-
mary and the general election. 1t was thought
by the leaders of the primary that the
time allowed was too short to get up form-
dable combination against their scheme. Their
idea was to carry the thing with rush, but,
as heretofore, they were mistaken in the temper
of the men with whom they had to deal.
i Wepublished in our last issue the ticket as
nominated by the primary. On election day
an opposition ticket headed "Ctizen's Demo
craticY was brought cut. For the offices Of
Mayor, Attorney, Treasurer, Clerk, Sergeant
and Constable, it bore the same names as the
primary ticket. The changes made in the
First Ward were the substitution of Mai. T.
c. Elder and Mr.. G. l.. Weller for Mr. John
Burns and j. ID. Crowle, for cOuncilmen, and
Col. Thos. A. Gordon for Col. w. D. Ander-
son as magistrate.
In the Second Ward, DR.. N Wayt and Mr.
J. B. Evans were substituted for Col. w. L.
Bumgardner and Capt. f. B. Berkeley for
councilmen, and Mr.. +. M. Young and DR.. w.
Ii. Goode for magistrates in place of B. F.
Terry and j. l.. Tmberlake. With these ex-
ceptions the two tickets were the same
On the day of election there was little il
any contest in the First Ward Early in the
morning Maj. Elder published card declar-
ing that he would not serve if elected, mas
much as he had submitted his claims to the
primary and been defeated. In the Second
Ward, however. a different scene was present
ed. Each side was putting in its best ticks
Col. W. l.. Bumgardner was regarded as the
special representative of the primary, and his
election or defeat was understood to be the en-
dorsement or condemnation of the course of
those who had brought about and managed
the primary. The result of the election was
as follows:

A BIG. SUCCESS Calling at the office of the
Valley Mutual Life Association on yesterday,
we were informed by the Secretary Mr. G. L.
Cooke, that for the month of May policies had
been issued to the amount of hut a nilla0la Of
dollars.
We have always taken great pleasure in
noting the rapid advancement of this Associ-
alton, chartered not quite four years ago. It
has steadily increased in popularity and
strength, until at this date they have policies
outstanding aggregating the sum of eight mil
lions OF dollars. During this four years they
nave made but Is assessments, and at the same
slme have paid eleven deaths without calling
upon their members for one cent. III ~.
The benefits of this association haye been
seen and ielt in our community, and we could
mention thousands of dollars which have been
PAID to the families of deceased policy holders
IN Staunton and Augusta county.
This Association differs widely from the Or
binary assessment companies in thot it has
81 guarantee fund for the protection of policy
holders, and each policy issued by them in the
male department. is guaranteed for its full face
value. ...
The Valley Mutual is an institution Of which
| our people should be justly proud, and ought
to be literally patronized by every husband
and father. tf
