Rock Enon Springs, Va.

This is one of the most lonely spots
of our dear little mountain State, stu
ated as it is about seventeen miles
west of Winchester ON the western
slope of the Great North Mountain.
The scenery is grand and the eleva-
ton above sea level more than 1000
feet while some of the surrounding
mountain peaks reach the height of
2,400 feet above sea level. The tenn
perature of the atmosphere does not
reach far into eighties, and under the
bracing atmosphere and balcony skies,
mere existence is happiness alone.
Yet the guests here are not left to
fatten on air only. The bountiful
tables form marked contrast to that
which characteriZes summer resorts
in general, and the pleasant and obi
ging proprietor A. S. Pratt is always
ready to make your stay here seem as
if you are at home, in fact, we all
seem like one large family, as we
gather in one of the large rooms of
the hotel to meet in morning worship.
There are no drinking saloons within
nine miles of Rock EnOn, intoxicating
drinks with their attendant evils are
not seen the freedom thus secured
from vicious associations and tempta-
lions renders this place fit for the most
educated and refined. would like to
speak of the various springs and give
some of their medical properties but
space will not permit suffice to say,
that the charlybeate, sulphur white
and Dlue) aud alkaline waters taken
internally, while the copper spring
applied externally, pro-
duce results which physicians very
often find difficult or impossible to
obtain.
We also visited the renowned Capon
Springs, situated about nine miles
south of Rock Enon this is such an
old and well known friend to invalids
that it needs no description, there are
more than 400 guests there now. At
Capon, we had the pleasure of meet
ing DIR. White of the Louden Street
Church Winchester and Rev. Elem
ming of Woodstock, they were not
there however for the benefit of their
health but they are conducting
meeting in the neighbolhood and
came to pass the day. We find people
of the Presbyterian faith rather
scarce, out here but those of that de-
nomination who are here are good.
We stopped a few Sundays since at
Wardensville and while there was
very agreeably entertained by Mr..
Clegatt and his happy family. We
also listened to an excellent sermon
by Rev. VIM. Miller of Gerardstown.
We are so impressed with the grand
eur and richness ofour little mountain
State that we will say to those who
anticipate leaving her bosom-Don't
go you will not better your pros
poets. We have a State that is I'M
surpassed in its richness of minerals,
grandeur Of its scenery, Wilderness Of
its forests, and nobleness of it's people.

The rainstorm which began Sun.

rainfall was over three inches, but
there was qlllte an interval between
the successive rains, so that not
much damage was done. La the
counties it was different. A cyclone

mills, dams and county roads, was
heavy. Middletown Valley was Wis.

State School Fund Disappearing.

That the policy of the Democratic
party of West Virginia has been to
cripple our common school system
there can be no doubt. Every State
educational institution has felt the
whitening effect of bourbon rule and
had the people not been firmly we'd.
ded to the system, it is our oplnioa
that it would have been abolished
ere this by the Democratic bour-
bons.
The quiet, systematic scheme of
using the public school fund for
other purposes than it was intended
under the pretense, when exposure
came, that the State had borrowed
it, when there was no law or author
ity for borrowing, has long since
been shown up and acknowledged.
Now there is another matter that
the people will be anxious to under
stand.
For the year 1888, the total val.
uation OF real and personal property
for taxation was $144,146,5O1; for
the year 1884 it was S154,946,675,
making an increase of S10,SOO,173.
For the first of these years, the
school year ending June LIST, 'S4, the
apportionment to Taylor county of
the State fund, from all sources, was
S3,453,O5, less 5000 paid the county
Superintendent, or S4.153.O5. For
the School year ending 1885, the APP
portionment to Taylor County, less
the Chunty Superintendent's salary
OF $500, was S3,57S.17 being SG75.56
less than the preceding year, not
withstanding the fact that the in.
crease of taxable property in the
State for the same period was ten
millions eight hundred thousand, one
hundred and seventy three dollars

The Parkersburg correspondent OF
the Register says that ginseng is be-
coming one of the important articles
of export from West Virginia. He
asserts that, in many cases this sea-
son, the wolf has been kept from the
door by ginseng digging on the part
of those who had no other means OF
obtaining a livelihood. A pound OF
the root will often sell for more than
a bushel of potatoes. The State has
exported in the last ten years about
S470,000 worth. He suggests that
the root might be cultivated with
profit.
