which position he occupied for two and a
half years. His duties there interfered SO
much with his practice as an Attorney. that
he gave IL up and returned to Law. (We
have III Clarksville, Tennessee, Judge j.
N. Quarles and Gen. Quarles an exc Con-
federate, who are Virginians, and dstin-
guished, too, in our section.)
Judge Quarles of this place is native of
Caroline county, and educated at the Uni
yerslty OF Virginia was admitted to the
Select IN the Fall Off and elected Judge
OF the county Court, Dec. 1879, which Of
ice he nHed to the entire satisfaction of the
people, VINO regret to give him up. He is
SO qule1 IN his manner and so gentlemanly,
too that one could hardly resist lilxinc him
personally.
The brightest smartest, and one of the
pest educated young gentleman at the
Staunton Bar, is the elegant
CITY. ATTORNEY, EDWARD EoHoLs,
a young gentleman with acute perceptiye
powers-a quick and fluent tongue, and a
ready adaptability to the exigencies of the
occasion. Mr.. Echols graduated at the
University of Virginia in 1878, and was adj
mitteo to the Bar in 1874. For three years
he has -Pen the Attorney for the Common
wealth and City "A ttorney. The son OF so
distinguished a gentleman as Gen. Echols
could hardly fail to succeed in ANYTHING he
undertook and the writer wishes him ali the
good fortune that could come to anyone.
CAPT. G. NJ. COCHRAN
is one of the most eminent lawyers in the
State of Virginia. He has practieed law
for twenty some odd years, and has won
considerable distinction in the law. Capt.
Cochran is graduate of the University of
Va. His reputation in the Court of Ap-
peals is second to none in the country.-
Success is an infallible test of a mans char
acter. Keen, shrewd, practical, his subtle
elucidation of principles, and analysis of
authorities prove his to be a mind eminent
ly analytical in its tendency. Capt. Coch-
ran is brother-in-law of Y. Howe Peyton of
Texas-lawyer, poet, and orator-and be-
longs to a family noted for its wealth and
social distinction.
DR.. S. H. HENKEL.
One of the most successful Dentists and ell
egant gentleman that it has been nv good
fortune to meet in Staunton, is the above
gentleman, who has practiced dentistry for
fourteen years. DR.. Henkel received his
Dental education at the Baltimore Dental
College in 1867 In the pres
ent family there are seven physicians. His
ancestor away back yonder was Court
preacher of a German Province, who came
to Philadelphia as one of the first of the
Lutheran ministers. DR.. Henkels native
place is New Market in the Shenandoah
Valley. DR.. Henkel has in his handsome
office quite collection of curiosities-a
cabinet of minerals, stuffed birds, &c. He
is something of a genius himself, having
some excellent specimens of modelling in
clay. DR.. Henkel was courier for Ashby
during the war.
Staunton, believe, has four or five Den
fists.
DIR. E. f. WAYMAN
was especially interesting to me on account
OF his having belonged to Mosby's celebra-
ted cavalry. 1t used to send a thrill through
me to read of the 'border frays' and raids
and romances of Mosby's men-whom John
Esten Cooke has forever made famous.
was introduced to Gen. Mosby at Richmond
several years ago. think looked at him
with more curiosity than any one I ever
saw. He had keen, resolute blue eye,
and could well believe him capable of do
ing the "blue bonnets from over the bor-
DER all the harm attributed to him.
DR.. Wayman is a native of Culpeper-
was educated at Philadelphia--gr graduated
both in 1nsdieine and Dentisty. The en-
cellence of his work has won for himself
splendid reputation. At the same time his
location is both popular and accessible.
THE VIRGINIA HOTEL
If there is one thing that the way-faring
traveller feels devoutly grateful to the gods |
for, it is for the comfort of stopping at de-
cent Hotel
My stay in Staunton has been exceeding
ly pleasant for several reasons-one of
which is that have been domiciled in the |
Virginia Hotel, with the prince of Hotel
men for a landlord, Mr. Crowle, and a |
smiling, handsome clerk, Mr.. Feller to
"make things pleasant for you. The Vir- |
ginia House, easily accessible from the De- |
pot, was built nearly forty years ago The |
walls are very thick, and the rooms de-
lightfully cool and comfortable Elegant |
moss mattresses and exquisitely clean beds |
add greatly to the travellers comfort The |
Hotel has capacity of trife over two |
hundred guests, and is well patronized.-
During the last week two hundred and |
seventy-six guests have been registered
Scrupulously clean napkins and table cloths, |
and every variety of food is palatably |
cooked and elegantly served.

la Hotel for eleven years and has become
noted Hotel keeper. For his elegant cour-
tesies to myself, and also to Mr.. Mauzy,
