We regret TO announce that Dir. VIM. S. Nc

| titled of his condition, and DR.. Newton Nc

| The Anderson CIV. va) Statesman of the 18th
| says new. W. hOS0DTO, Vi LGWlSUUIS
preached most feeling and excellent sermon
at the Presbyterian church last sunday morn
| ing. His discourse was on Christening love-
and his remarks were rendered peculiarly pa
| thetic, because he had, himself three days be-
| fore, buried tender little bud of promise. In
| the afternoon he addressed the members of the
Y. M. G. A., at the Methodist church, much to
| their enjoyment and edifcation.'
We call attention to the card of Mr.. Hugh
M. McIIhany announcing the sale of his hard
ware business to Major A. G. Woods & Co. Mr..
| McIlhany has for ten years conducted most
successful business IN this city, and only with
draws because of the fact that his position as
Secretary of the Staunton Life Association of
Virginia, which has grown so rapidly, requires
his whole time and attention We are glad to
know that in this change Stanton does not
lose these her progressive and pushing bust
siness men, but that they are only to be trans
| ferred from one business to another.
| There is no use to send work to the job Off
ces in the larger cities when 1t can be done as
| well and cheap at the SPECTATOR office.
"SIGHT UNsEEN."-This phrase, so familiar
| to boys in their early trades, may well be ap-
piled to the Stereopticon Exhibition of a
| "Trip Around the World" announced to take
place at the Opera House last Friday night
A small, but select, set of anxious voyagers
| assembled and patiently awaited the sound of
the "fog-horn" to announce their start; but
there was something wrong; either the engine
was not steamed up enough or the pilot was
| steamed mp too much anyhow haste was
made slowly, and they had scarcely started
over the ocean blue' when the machinery
entirely gave out and putting iuto shore, the
trip SO badly begun was brought to- an abrupt
end, and many wondered "if it was SO soon to
be done for, what it had ever been begun for,
In justice to the Knights of Pythias, we must
say they were greatly deceived in the man
| they engaged, and when it was found that he
was in no condition to give an exhibition, the
audience was dismissed. and Mr.. Charles L.
Cooke. representing the Pythians. refunded
| their money at the door.

Valley Railroad at the Junction near Waynes-
boro was arrested last week by Capt. Waters

clares that he has been in no was guilty of the
charge, and had the parties given him the OPP
portnnity, he could explain everything salts
factorily. He has borne good character in
Waynesboro' since his residence here, and has
made many warm friends. His wife wanted
to go west with him, but was lodged by the
Ohio officer, and had to follow on the next
