The recent death of Capt. G. r. Mason
reminds one that a monument of his war
work is yet plainly visible on the summit
which were thrown up for the Confederate
forces at that lofty point, can be distinctly
discerned by the traveller over the Park
ersburg Pike. The situation is one of
commanding advantage. Indeed, it would
be well-nigh impregnable if defended by
determined men. Approaching from the
east, as you rise to the top of the peak,
there stretches westward q vast expanse
of mountains beloved beneath you like
some grand ocean dashed by the tempest
and petritied in its fury. Range upon
range they are piled as far as the limit of
vision extends, and in the azqre distance,
the blue of the earth and the blue of the
sky blend in harmony that blots out all
line of demarkation and makes it impos-
sible to determine where the one ends or
the other begins. No grander mountain
scene in all the South than that from the top
of the Shenandoah. No situation could
have been better chosen to confront an ad-
vancing army. Where the line Of the breast
works was thrown the guns could have
swept the only possible avenue of approach
with the breath of humiliation. The road
winds III and out of the gorges, slowly
overcoming the grade of the incline as it
pursues it's circuitous course. On the one
side the mountain rises with the abrupt
ness of precipice on the other, you look
down upon the tops of trees fifty feet
high. In range of the breastworks is a
point only a few hundred yards distant as
the crow flies, but nearly mile by the
meanderings of the road. Here would
have been the death-trap had the Federal
forces attempted to brave Mason's forti-
fications. But they did not. Discretion
proved the better part of valor. The ex-
pected attack was never made, but the
grim furrow on the mountains brow yet
tells the tale of deadly preparation. and
for decades to come will continue a mon
ument to Mason s war work.

The most pressing need of Staunton to-
day is a first class hotel. The reputation
the city now enjoys among the travelling
public is not enviable. Complaints are
loud and numerous of insufficient accom-
mediation for visitors. and a general de-!
nland for improvement in this direction is
heard A tirst-class hotel located On
Main street, not too distant from the bus
mess centre and yet removed from The
railways. would prove good investment.
But it would have to be first-class in every
respect-a hotel that would attract people
to our city and furnish comforts that would
induce visitors to prolong their stay. Such
an establishment would command good
patronage from the start, and iii the sum
mer its capacity would be taxed to supply
accommodations for the many who would
like to make a sojourn here during part OF
the heated term The healthfulness OF
Staunton; its elevated situation; the nat
ural scenery which surrounds it its proX-
unity to the various mountain resorts,
all combine to make it peculiarly favor
able location for really good hotel. The
subject is now being discussed by some OF
our enterprising business men and We
hope it will continue to be agitated until
tangible results follow.

The DAILY SERVICES at the LIST Pres
byterian church continue to attract large
congregations. DR.. Dinwiddies work in
Staunton is certainly remarkable and it
may be said with truth that deeper re-
ligious feeling now pervades the city, in
consequence of his efforts, than was ever
known here before, Last Sunday night.
by request, he preached at the Methodist
church to one Of the largest congrega-
lions ever assembled there. On Sunday
next, the Sacrament of the Lords Supper
will be administered at the First Church
and there will doubtless be many additions
to the membership. The meetings still
continue with unabated interest and it is
earnestly hoped that DR.. Dinwidaie's stay
may be prolonged for weeks yet.

paper established on the ruins of the

Street Corner Notes.

The cultivation Of grapes should be
looked into little closer by our farmers.
Just east of the ridge many hillsldes are
covered with vineyards and the experiment
has proven profitable to those who have
given the matter close attention. There is
noreason why grapes could not be grown as
proltably here as east of the mountain.
In some States, notably California, grape
culture has become the most remunerative
of agricultural pursuits. After purchasing
land and starting with one-year-old vines,
the total expenses of u vineyard ID southern
California for raisin production IS S57.l0
per acre, and each year thereafter $zo.OO
per acre. The first TO be realized from the
vineyard is at the end of the third year,
when. with moderate success, the grower
should have fifty boxes to sell, worth $S0.
At the end of the sixth year he should
have $50 boxes, worth $780, This would
give an increase for six years OF 81 ,040 !:
an outlay Of $3.50, and net profits per acre
of $3.50. This is said to be an undertaken
than an over estimate.

that he is entirely at loss for an appropri-

the general character Of the article. And
this indecision often ends in no heading at

reminds us too that after all names are not
specially potential. Many things in this
world are not what they seem. Take for
instance persons who with OF without rea-
son ARE called great men," One often hears
of great statesmen, great jurists, and the
like. In nine cases out of ten they could be
more iittingly termed great frauds. To
sustain a reputation for greatness, the
modern statesman should keep himself as
far aloof from common people as possible.
Nothing so reduces these aiisged giants as
personal contact with those who at dis
lance look up to them with reverential awe.
The nearer one approaches the smaller

pleasant delusion that all is great that goes
by that name, should be careful to keep
aloof from so-called statesmen. Verify

AQUEsTIoN OF INTENTIoN.-The Su-

college students that the right to vote in

ponds upon the question of intention of
residence. If a student intends to re-
main in the place only until he completes
his studies he cannot claim residence
there such as will entitle him to vote.
But if he intends to make that his home
in the future, then he may be regarded as
permanent resident and q yotef.

TIE HOP MARKET.-A New York paper
dated August 4th says: Messrs. Herman
& Co., well-known hop firm of San Fran
cisco, received on July 23d the first bale of
new Pacifcs, grown by R. J. Merkeley, of
Sacramento. The quality of this bale is
pronounced superior to any grown in for
mer years on the coast. The same paper,
Emnlet Wells Circular, in speaking of the
New York hop market, says: Inactivity
is still the ruling feature. Brewers are well
supplied, and are buying only when real
bargains are offered. BY this we mean
to say, very good article must be offered
below ten cents or they will not purchase
Our quotations we continue without change.
1t is safe to say we will not see much lower
prices on good hops until after the new
crop comes in, and then values will be gov
erned almost wholly upon the chances of
an export demand from England" The
ruling prices in New York are: New
