The TELEPHONE was placed in full op-
Grafton last Monday and since then lively
business has been done. A number have
already found it of great convenience, and
ere long it will be regarded as an absolute
necessity. There are between forty and
fifty takers among the business men. and
the use of the phone is found of no little
value in facilitating their transactions. A
serious draw back is experienced by the
lack of enterprise manifested by the rail-
road companies. The lines connect with
neither of the depots, and for this reason
one of the first expectations of the sub
scribers has failed to be realized. Both
depots are more or less remote from the
central part of the town, the Valley being
especially so. There is scarcely business
man in Staunton who has not occasion to
send to one or both of the places almost
daily and the inconvenience is magnified
now that easy means of communication
are within reach. The company that first
places phone in it's depot will not lose by
the operation.
The telephone is not confined to the
transmission of business messages. 1t has
It's esthetic advantagesa as well. The other
night number of our male vocalists as
sembled in Kayser, Shirley & Taylor's
store, and to the accompaniment of the
guitar and cornet gave vocal concert
Thirteen phones were connected and as
many families enjoyed the music at their
homes.

Rheumatism or Neuralgia. About six years ago,
1 had a severe sickness from bowel disorder, and
treated by him he informed me that he had dis
covered symptoms of Kidney Disease, but he
gave me no medicine for it, and l suffered on
from the aches and pains which were increasing
constantly, and for which applied plasters and
liniments in unlimited quantities, but obtained
no permanent relief
About three months since was complaining
to friend of my aches, pains and troubles, and
he urged me to try Hunts Remedy, as he knew
of some remarkable cures of Kidney Diseases
effected by its use. decided to try it, and began
to take it, having but very little faith that it
would relieve me, as am in my SEVENTEEN year,
but to my great delight before 1 had taken the
contents of the first bottle my lame back was

THE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS PROP
ERTY.-We were in error last week in
stating that Judge Jackson had decided
the White Sulphur Springs case in favor
of the receivership of Mr.. Boulware The
information was received latel Wednes-
day evening, and we regarded it as thor
oughly reliable. 1t has since proved to be
incorrect. Judge Jackson took the case
under adyisement. The Marshal of his
district has the property in possession
Gov. Mathews has resigned the presidency
OF the company, and Mr.. A. f. Mathews
has resigned as amember of the Directory.
Messrs. Gordon and Darlington, of Rich
mond, counsel for the company, have re-
tired from the case, and Judge Robertson
has succeeded them

PRESBYTERY NOTEs.-Our excellent
Messy Greek correspondent gives sue
cinct report of the proceedings of Lexing-
ton Presbytery held in the Messy Creek
church. There were some interesting ques-
tions acted upon. Among them an over
ture from Concord Presbytery proposing a
change in the Confession of Faith. The
Presbytery of Concord, Synod of North
Carolina, sent up an overture to the Gen
eral Assembly some time ago asking the
assembly to eliminate from the Confession
of Faith the following words 1.-THE man
may not marry any of his wife's kindred
nearer in blood than his own, nor the
woman of her husbands kindred nearer in
blood than her own" Conf. Faith, chap.
"a, sec. A. In answer to this overture of
Concord Presbytery, the General Assembly
sent down to the presbyteries the ques-
ton as to whether the above sentence
should OF should not be eliminated. The
answer OF Lexington Presbytery was as
follows:
"Res0lred, That the Presbytery of Lex
ington concur with the Presbytery of Con-
cord in regard to the disturbances of ex-
punging this clause from the Confession
Of Faith, and would overture the assembly
to meet i'll Lexington, KY. in May, 1888,
to take the steps necessary for eliminating
this clause from our Book
From the report of the Committee on
Domestic Missions for the year ending
April lSt it appeared that there are seven
ministers laboring in missionary fields
under the care of this presbytery. Four
OF these are laboring in West Virginia, in
the counties of Randolph, Barbour. Tucker,
Harrison and Pendleton two are laboring
in Rockingham county, Va, and one in
Bath county. Va. The Iabors of these
ministers have been blessed to an encour-
aging degree. After the reading of the
report the Presbytery listened to an address
of Rev. DR.. McIlwaine on the subject of
home missions, and subsequently adopted
aresolutionrequesting Rev. DR.. McIlwaine
to withdraw his acceptance of the Pres
idency of Iiampden Sydney College and
continue in his present position.
The following are the commissioners
representing Lexington Presbytery in the
General Assembly which meets to-day !:

great value to the business men, farmers

a guaranty of their accuracy. 1t is an en-
terprise that we feel assured will commend
itself to our people when they examine the

HANDSOME WORK.-FrOm the shops of
Messrs. Clinedinst 4 Bodell, last Friday,
MI Enos OFT, of this county, took one of
the handsomest specimens of carriage work
ever put up in this city, and for that mat
ter in the State. 1t was large siX-seat
heavy family carriage. every part of which
was a model of superior workmanship.
The painting and vanishing were es-
pecially noticeable, being as handsome a
piece of work as we ever remember to have
seen in that line. The trimmings inside
We're of heavy blue broadcloth, with mount
ings equally rich. For style, finish, mate
rial and get-up generally, this job would
pass muster before the most exacting crit
les. Several of the most competent judges
OF Staunton have pronounced it as near
perfection as can well be reached
Besides this carriage are a number of
other fine specimens of skill ready to go
out from the shops of Messrs. Clinedinst
& Bodell. One is a handsome extension
top phpton for gentleman in Lexington !;
another is light, graceful Thinker spring
buggy for Thornburg's livery, and there
are variety of other styles, each of which
would be creditable to any frst-class estab-
lishment in the country. Persons wanting
the best of vehicles should send their orders
direct to Staunton.

Mr.. Lecky, formerly teacher of the Staunton
High School, and later principal ola school
in Mississippi, has purchased the Seminary
at Huntsville, Ala, for many years under
the control of Mrs. Ross, wife of DR.. Ross,
of the Presbyterian Church. The recent
death OF her husband led Mrs, Ross to re-
linquish the responsibility attending the
supervision of the school and she disposed
of the property, goodwill, ETC.. to Mr..
Lecky, for the sum of 81 500, he to take
charge of the school. Huntsville is a
charming little city, surrounded by noun
tains, and blessed with pure air, good wa
ter, and quite as many advantages rs q
town of 5000 people has right to expect.
The Methodists have a seminary located
there, but no other denomination is repre-
scented, SO that the two have broad field.
The buildings purchased by Mr.. T.. are
quite like amonastery in appearance, little
turrets and towers rising above the gray
roof in q very suggestive manner j the
grounds are ample, and the outlook from
the place charming. We doubt if in all the
South could be found a more picturesque
scene than the Valley about Huntsville af-
fOrdS.
