AN ACTIVE cAMPAIeN.-If the signs of
the times may be trusted, Virginia is going
to be lively Commonwealth during the
next three months. Never since General
Malone started in the path which has led
him into the Republican party have the
Democrats of Virginia been, SO early in
the campaign, as buoyant, active, and ag-
gressive as now. We hear favorable news
from almost every quarter of the State.
The Democratic clans are mastering. They
are in earnest. Again and again have they
been defeated, as a result of THAR awn
apathy. Even last year, when congress-
men were elected, fewer than twothousand
votes were cast, out of a voting population
OF 334, 900, according to the census of 1880.

The secret of the universal success of
Browns Iron Bitters is owing to the fact
that it is the very best iron preparation
made. By thorough and rapid assimila-
tion with the blood It reaches every part of
the body, giving health, strength and en-
durance to every portion. Thus beginning
at the foundation it builds up and restores
lost health. 1t does not contain whiskey or

Slate roofing is very costly, all things being
considered. Slate roofing will crack by freeZ-
ing and thawing, and from heat of adjacent
fires will crumble and slide, and will blow off.
Six or seven times heavy iron, it requires
strong and expensive structure TO bear 1t up,
and an extreme pitch, which makes large

to settle out of shape, and the rule OF measure
ment is always greater than iron roofing. Slate

people say they want no more slate roof. and
many architects advise customers not to have
slate roof.

THE CANvAss.-There are a few primary
things to be done in the Democratic party,
which, if done enthusiastically, will insure
success. Select candidates thai are desired
by so large majority of the people that
opposition will be prevented in the party.
Patriotism and true party fealty will secure
this.
Let there be an earnest, enthusiastic,
thorough organization at every precinct. Let
it be like old Jackson's ''air tight picket"
so that none can pass without the knowl-
edge of the chief. Every Democrat must
vote-therefOre prepare him legally to vote
and let every precinct chairman know
exactly how many Democrats will be sure
to vote at that precinct. Get a precinct
chairman who will take pride in finding out
exactly what the Coalition is doing at his
precinct. This time watch The Counties,
never mind the State. Get a Democratic
paper-the one the voter wants-and put it in
his hands, and if he is not able or willing
to subscribe let him have it. Let the work
be done IN the precinc3s; furnish the am
munition and supplies at this point-make
the work perfect here.-Lynchbug Id

We have frequently been asked how long our

every person knows that as long as iron does
not rust it will last and it is kept painted it
will not rust. There is never any wear on the
under side 10 wear the paint off and il the up
per side is painted every ten twelve years,
we do not see any reason to prevent it's lasting
one hundred years.
Our roofing is all made in the factory and put

both sides cleats and paint enough to give it
one heavy coat afte. the roof is laid.

IRON ROOFING

IRON ROOFING
has been used in many places in Europe and
the United States for more than fifty years, ana
would be almost universally used If it could
have been afforded heretofore at as low cost
as now, and had as good material and perfect
mode of construction been known and used,
ing and Paint.
NONE BUT THE VERY BEST REFINED
IRON IS USED
in our roofing. This iron we have manufac-
tured especially for our own use, and all imper-
feet sheets are thrown out. The iron is paint
ed on both sides with
IRON-CLAD PAINT.
This paint has proved to be the best roofing
paint in the world. 1t has an established 1epu-
tation of fifteen years standing throughout the
United States. 1t is especially adapted as
protection to iron, tin or wood We apply the
third coat after the roof is put on, and it will
last for years without deterioration.
ITS ADVANTAGES OVER SHINGLES.
Shingles were once made of the best selected
timber and lasted longer than now; they are
now made mostly of limbs, odd cuttings and
such timber as cannot be made into anything
elsa and are short-lived at best, and frequent
ly leak rain or fine snow. The average life of
shingle roofs is twelve years, and IN towns
where coal is Use only ten years. Shingles sre
old-fashioned and have seen their best days.
NINE-TENTHS OF THE FIRES OUCUR ON

A Striking Contrast.

The Abingdon Viyginian draws COM
parison between the railroad record of Mr..
Barbour and General Mahole which is not
very favorable to the little general. The
Vugtn50n very justly remarks that it would
be well for the friends of Malone to keep
quiet on the subject of railroad kings -
That subject, it asserts, ought to be very
sore one to them. They should recollect
that their party is headed and bossed by the
RAILROAD lshmaelite," as Governor Came
ron once called him, VIM. Malone, whose
policy was to run the A, NJ. & o. Railroad
as political machine and who wrecked the
same by his tyrannical usurpation of all
power to himself and subordinated the
same for the personal and political aggran-
dizement of himself.
Mr.. Barbour, says the Viginian, in the
management OF his road has made it sue
cess. He never has been charged with hav-
ing in his pocket $196, 900 of the company's
money Tor services never rendered. He
never had adecree to go down in the courts
in order to deceive and cover up the trans
action when he got four or five times the
amount. He never was charged with, as
president, attempting to form copartner-
ships secretly in order to speculate in (and
make money for his private use) the securi-
ties of the road.
He never has been held up before the
country and the business centres as Colin
son did your railroad magnate. Oh, yes,
Mr. Barbour is the successful president of
a railroad; he is gentleman and has the
confidence of all honorable men both in
political and business circles.
Mr.. Barbour has never been guilty of
making present to the r. & D. R. r. Co..
Of some $500, 900 of the peoples money for
the aggrandizement of party. Mr.. Bar
bour has never threatened ruin and destruc-
tion to railroad because its officers refused
to turn out two or three gentlemen because
they were politically and personally opposed
to him. He never advocated that railroad
bill of last session of the Legislature that
put the rights of all the railroads in the
grasp and control Of Vim. Malone to be
used for his political schemes.
