Mr.. X. Weaver, the popular and efficient
agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
at Fishersyille, is confined to his bed with
an attack of Typhoid fever, We are
happy to say that his physician, DR.. J. M.
Watson, says the case is progressing favor
ably.
Robt. Henderson. who for long time
occupied the position of night operator at
Fishersville, has accepted the position Of
agent at Greenwood at q better salary.
Mr.. Henderson was popular with all our
people, who regret his removal,
Mr. Leitch, who is agent and operator
at Craigsyille, takes Mr.. Weaver's place
during that gentleman's illness.
Maj. p. II. Woodward, the indefatigable
passenger agent of the C. & o. r. r., at
Stanton, has painted the country red with
agricultural fair schedules, &C., sc. The
9. & 0. R. R., would be broken up were
the Major to drop out of harness. He
labors for the good of The road and the
public day and night. He left Staunton
early enough this Monday morning to go
to Charlottesville in the interest of the
Company, and at II m. to-day passed
through Staunton on his way to Clifton
Forge. He proposed going that far and
returning to-day. That is work.
There is an immense apple crop in the
South-river section of the county this sea-
son. James Carson will pick not less than
300 hhlc off bic oroI,ard MTopy IF our
orchardists are having their crops distilled.
G, A. Gulley, the P. M. at Fishersville,
has moved the Office from Main street to
Thinking Spring Avenue. He has most
eligible place for the transaction of the
postal business, and the change is for the
better. Mr.. G. will, ere long, begin the
mercantile business at his new place.

it boots.
The little notice given by your CORE
spondent of the proposed removal of Mrs.
M. M. Baskin to Penn. and her desire to
sell her home, has brought quite flood Of
inquiries through the mail and by person
clearly showing the value of printers ink.
Mrs. A. A. Arnold, of Fishersville, is
visiting friends in Lexington. Her hus-
band is keeping bachelors hall, and, we
learn, is making decided success. When
Mrs. A. returns she will find that that gen.
tleman has made a dining room of every
room in the house and has On hand at this
writing, but one clean dish. If Mrs. A.
gets through cleaning up' after that
rooster before Christmas the writer of this
will be fooled.
Ii you want to see what push and goa
head-ativeness will do, step oyer to the
Hale House on the 9. & o. r. r. Our
old friend, Pat Woodward, with his part
ner, Mr.. Fitz, are giving the travelling
public the benefit Of one of the finest
hotels in the State. In fact the Hale
House is the best hotel in the State out
side of Richmond.
| The fall of rain which began this morn
ing causes the farmers to smile, but makes
the fair-going public murmur. At this
hour the out look is not promising, but
should it break away by noon tomorrow
| Tuesday the grounds will be the better
for the rain.
DR.. Murray, OF Barterbrock, moved to-
day to Swoope's Depot, where he will prac-
tice his profession.
! DR.. Stephen Hernsberger, of the same
place, has concluded that Baltimore offers
him better opening and he, with his
! family, removed to the Monumental City
to-day. Both of these gentleman stand
high in their profession, and are young
men destined to climb higher.
We learn that DR.. Kunkle, of Parnassus,
will practice at Barterbrook. The loca-
tion is a fine one. The neighborhood is
wealthy, and although as healthy as any
in Virginia. yet people will get sick. We
wish the people health and the DR.. success.
This is paradox that the people and the
DR.. may work out among themselves.
