A very pleasant entertainment WAS given
last Thursday night by the young people of
the North parish in aid of the fund for re-
pairing their church. The exercises con-
sisted of singing, charsdes, tableaux and
r.citstions and all the parts were exceed
ingly we'll performed. The little church was
crowded to its utmost capacity, both by the
neighbors. and many other friends of the
enterprise, including a score who went up
from the city. 1t is a pleasure to add that
the entertainment was no less successful
financially than socially. netting more than
s26 dollars for the work. The people of the
North parish are deserving of great credit for
their energy and public spirit, and we shall
all be glad to see the old meeting house re-
doomed from the power of the weather.

Our schools opened Monday with a very
good attendance of scholars Of the younger
classes. The favorable weather for farm
work will detain most of the larger
scholars for some tine yet.
Our immense crop Of apples is q source
Of much p erplexity to the farmers. The
still-houses are oyerrun with fruit for dis
tillation. The ground in the orchards is
covered with the falling fruit, and the
trees are bending under their burden.
The glut in the malket has reduced the
price SO much that it scarcely affords re-
numeration to gather the crop. Some OF
the farmers threw open their orchards to
their neighbors and the villagers, and gave
free access to the fallen fruit, being un
able to utilize it themselves they were I'M
willing to see it decaying upon the ground.
The wheat-felds, under the viyifying in
fnelce of the late copious rains, are put
ting on healthy green appearance. Oar
agricultural friends, who have been SO
much embarrassed by their unpaid bills
for fertilizers. are putting out more wheat
than usual, without the use Of the manu-
featured stimulants to their crops, de
pending more upon manures of domestic
make-a line of economy that ought to
have been practiced more than has been
for many years past.
In political matters we have but few en-
thusiasts among US Of either party. A
wandering politician appears among us
and ripples the waters occasionally, but
they soon subside into their usual happy
serenity.
We had very able sermon by the Rev.
Mr.. Lynch, of the Methodist Church

habits are formed-the great prevalence
of crime among us being, to a large extent,
due to neglect in training the children and
making proper impressions upon their
minds at that age when al influences

A Card from w. Il. Revercomb.

To the Voters Of the Senatorial District COM
posed of the Counties of 4AHeghd4ly, Bath,
B0tetoart, Highland and Rockbridge:
The period fixed by law for the election
of a Senator to represent your district in
the next Legislature is near at hand and
as | shall not be able to visit the several
counties comprising the district, l deem
it due to you and to myself to give you
some information in regard to my position
in relation to some of the questions agi-
tating the minds OF the people.
| was not candidate for nomination be-
fore the Millboro convention, and as had
not sought the nomination, but the con-
vention was pleased to bestoW it upon me,
l did not feel a. liberty to decline, and
therefore accepted it.
AS the representative of the equities of
Alleghany, Bath and Highland, voted
for the kddleberger bill, and hoped, when
it passed. that the debt question was
finally settled, and taken out Of the poll
tics of the State. | was also in favor of
Mr. Massey for u S. Senator. and after
wards voted for him for Auditor, but when
he left the party and formed the s.Big A, y
| dropped him, voted for Wise for Con-
gresham at Large, and shall vote the Re-
publican gubernatorial ticket this fall.
I am plain farmer, not an office seeker,
and as consequence l have given but
little attention to politics, but l have
fixed and definite opinions and always
stand by them.
/ am for repeating all the legislation
which has defeated the Riddleberger bill
the bills pasaed paying lawyers thousands
Of dollars to crafty malignant feeling;
against the Attorneys eneral; lowering
the tax on merchants to 80 cents on the
hundred dollars, and leaving it at forty
upon the farmers and mechanics the bill
to turn over the bodies of the poor dying
in almshouses Oh in jails to corporation
of physicians, unless friends are present to
demand them, and that sum total of hn-
man wrongs, the Electoral Bill, which
would seem to have been enacted to sug-
gest fraud and encourage perjury by count
ing in men really defeated at. the polls.
Mr.. Jones (my personal friend and sue
cessor), the Democratic nominee for the
Senate, favored all these bills and will
stand by them. i am opposed to all
and am for repeating a. that can be re-
pealed.
| am for keeping alive thepublic schools,
believing that an intelligent and virtuous
people alone can long remain free and
keep down the demagogue who is now and
has been in All ages the curse of man and
of free government. These questions are
with you to settle as you may think best,
and l shall be satisfied with your verdict.
Very respectfully,

The canvass is getting red-hot, and Sena-

Ring are excellent. 1t is a bad season for
political Rings. The people are beginning

the uneasiness of the Stanton Ring and

Every now and then we see paragraph
in Bourbon newspaper about Gov. Cam
eron's relation to Gen. Malone and Hon.
Jno. S. Wise, with the surmise that the Gov
errors influence will be used against the
Republican candidate for Governor. We
are prepared to state that there is no truth
in the surmise. In a brief conversation
with Gov Cameron, while he was in
Staunton attending the Baldwin Augusta
Fair. he manifested the utmost solicitude
for Mr.. Wise's election, and especially
was concerned about OBJECTIONS which had
been reported. When informed that the
Republicans i'll the Valley were solid, and
would give Wise the largest vote ever cast
for q Republican candidate, he seemed
much gratlfied. Why any Republican
should oppose the regular nominee of the
party, because of personal differences with
some other Republican, has always been
unaccountable to US upon any premise of
devotion to party principle and policy
We know nothing about the reported an
tagonism between Gov. Cameron and Gen.
Malone. We make it rule never to mix
in other people S private business, and es-
pecially to ignore all mere personal feeling
in contest involving the welfare of the
party with which we are Identified
When once convinced that a man or a can
didate is true to the principles of the par
ty, we do not inquire about his personal
relations with other members of the party.
We are ready to cooperate with and
support him to the best of our ability, re-
garding the interests and policies of the par
ty he represents as paramount to the perso-
nal dislikes OF any one or two or dozen
members of the party. We believe Gen.
Malone, Gov. Cameron and. Capt Wise
are sincere in their Republicanism, true to
the party, and with that belief we are con-
tent to leave to their good sense the ad-
justment of subordinate personal matters
Gov. Cameron is heartily anxious for the
success of Mr.. Wise in this contest, as is
Gen. Malone, and that is all we care to
know at this time. Not only are we as
sured Of this, but the Republicans through
ont the State are equally solicitous for
Wise success, ard will give him the largest
vote they have ever polled in Virginia.
And that means victory.

Politics are beginning to attract consid-
cradle interest. The Republicans held a
good meeting at Stonewall last Friday
night. G. D. A. Curry, Esp, delivered a
splendid address to the people OF his old
neighboIhood, which we are satisfied did
good. He was followed by Mr.. E. L..
Houff who is always ready to talk in behalf
of Republicanism. After Mr.. Houff had
finished, calls were made for Mr. Geo, Sea-
wright, the first writer on the subject of
REIMBURSEMENT in the county. if not i'll the
State, who responded amid the long and
loud applause Of the audience. His adj
dress was principally devoted to historical
points of interest in connection with the
Democratic and Readjuster parties, and
was one of the most interesting to which
we have ever listened. At the conclusion
of the speeches Republican Club was
organized, with B. A. Harshberger presi

The Bourbon papers contain notices of
the detection of the colored voters from
the Republican party. A meeting of 100
organized at Danville recently, under the
style of the "anti-Mahone club, y accord
ing to a statement as seen in Bourbon
paper. Yet the Richmond State insists
that the colored people are banded against
the whites, on the appeal of Malone and
Wise, and consequently the whites ought
to stand together. There ought to be some
concert among the organs, SO that these
conflicting announcements would not ap-
pear. 1t looks alittle sensational and in
