A New Staunton Enterprise.

On Main street, the firm of Cotton &
McCue have opened factory for the man.
ufacture of soap. They have supplied it
with the latest machinery and are making
every sort of soap from the common laun-
dry up to the perfumed toilet cake. Mr..
Cotton is an old and respected English
resident, who has had half century's ex-
perience in Canada and the United States
n,this business, and is familiar with the
latest modes for the cheapest and most
rapid production of soap. The article
they turn out is made of pure material
and eontains no resin. the use of which is
strictly prohibited in the factory. Mr..
McCue is young business man of energy
and popularity and will not fail to extend
the field of this new enterprise. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are sent
North from Virginia for the single article
of soap every year, and there IS no good
reason, judging from the price and quail
ty of tie samples submitted to our inspec-
ton by the Staunton factory. why large
portion of this expenditure should not be
made in Stanton.

THE VIRGINIA FEMALE INSTITUTE -
The following is the mention made by
Bishop Whittle to the Diocesan Council at
Richmond, of this admirable female col
lege:
"March and 10 I attended meetings of
the trustees of the Virginia Female Insti-
tute in Stanton. Though the patronage
of this diocesan school for girls is consid-
erably more than it was last year it is deeply
to be regretted that it is not much larger
than it is. l can d. no more than repeat
my unqualified communication of the ar
rangements and management of the school
in every particular. am satisfied that les
principal. Mrs. Stuart, and her accomplish
ed and faithful associates are thoroughly
worthy to be entrusted with the instruc-
ton and the mental, moral and religious
training of as many of our daughters as
may be committed to their care"
The report OF the Committee on the Vir-
ginia Female Institute was read to the
Council by Maj. T. G. Elder, of Stanton.
The report showed that the school was in
fine condition. and it also awarded high
praise to Mrs. Stuart, the principal of the
school. Mrs. Stuart is the widow of Gen.
j. E. B. Stuart. Mr.. D. B. Tenant. of
Petersburg, and Mr.. Old were elected trus-
tees in place of Colonel Walter H. Taylor
and Mr.. George Newton, both of Norfolk,
resigned.
