The SHENANDOAH VALLEY RAILROAD
Tho tonnage business of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad is evidently increasing from
the number of freight trains going over it.
This remark is particularly applicable in
reference to the livestock traffic from
Southwest to the North and East
The Chicago North, cestern Lumbe,man
notes another great Southern interest which
may seek this route in much larger ship
ments than formerly. In speaking of the
transportation of the Tennessee hard woods
to the North and East, that standard jour
al says, it should be by the Shenandoah
Valley route, after leaving the Norfolk g.
Western road, for the transfer at Nor
folk to steamers and then another
handling before the mills are reached,
works immense damage to the lumber. In
the matter of selling, too, there is OPP
portunity for circumscribing the privileges
of the shipper which does not exist when
taken to the railroad yards and points of
delivery The article in the Lum herman
is well worthy of consideration by Mr..
Tyler and Mr.. Flickwir who direct the af-
fairs of the Shenandoah Valley road.

Married at a Jail Window.
SEQUEL TO AN ENCOUNTER BETWEEN Two
RIVALS FOR A GIRL HAND.

Marion, Smith County, Vd., Nov. a.
A few minutes before midnight last night
Mss Mollie Downes, a pretty black-eyed gir
II eighteen years, stood on the shoulder OF
,ner stout and sympathetic brother, Thorn
rs, and reaching up to the window of the
jail at Chatham Hill, twenty-three miles
from here, grasped strong hand which
projected from between the bars. Then q
minister, perched upon the seat of a buggy
which had been used as a standing place b,
Mss Mollie and her brother, recited th,
marriage service, uniting the venture some
lass to James ii. Fauntleroy, the owner d
he hand in the window. After the cere
nony the bride persisted in kissing and cry
ing over her newly-made husbands hand
until her brother reminded her that bel
plump figure weighed just 1876 pounds, and
was growing heavier every moment.
The marriage was the sequel to an en-
counter between the groom and young
farmer named P. H. Dugan, who had beer
rival OF FaunLleroy's for Miss Downes's
hand. The last two named were out walk
ing on Tuesday afternoon, and encountered
Ongan on the Ragged Edge walk, a danger
GUS path on the mountain side, near Chat
ham. Angry words passed between the tive
men, and when Dugan calt d Miss Downes
coquette, the other man knocked HIM
down. Dugan rolled down ravine and
brOse a leg. At fist it was thought he was
fatally injured, and that Fauntleroy would
have to stand trial for murder As Mis-.
DowDes would then be the only witness, hei
friends agreed with Fauntleroy's family
that they had better marry, so that she
could not be compelled to testify agains

Now for Business! Business!!

Now that the exciting and absorbing
election in Virginia is over, it is to be hope'
that our people, irrespec i've of party, viii
promptly turn their thoughts, their energies
and their aspirations in every direction
which leads or looks towards the, materia
prosperity of the State, the South, th'
Union. The great thing, at last, to be al
tanned by good government is the welfar'
of the people. And the way to promote th'
welfare of the people is to develop the dor
mant elements of wealth around them, t.
bring into activity the unutilized agencie
and sources of industrial thrift and strength
that enterprise may make available, t.
formulate, to concentrate, and to pusl
out, and on, and up into the highest practice
progressiveness whatever of workable mate
rial we may find and wherever We may findi
Political excitement, with it's concomitan'
disturbance of business interests, is of course
unavoidable at times in great free coun
try like this, where the people are the sourc
of all sovereign power. But it is neverthe
for the time, prejudlcial to the business in
terests of the country; so much so, indeed,
that we may safely say that if the same
amount of energies expended in party poll
tics in the South, within the last two de-
cades that have gone, shall be expended il
advancing the industries of the South
within the next two decades that are to
come, the progress and prosperity of the
Southern people will cause the world to look
with wonder upon the wealth and strength
of the old slave States before the young. mer
of to-day shall have passed to middle age
or the men of middle age shall have grown
too old to appreciate and enjoy the results
of the renovation of their section.
| So, since the election is over, since there
is trnce in party politics after heated
canvass ON both sides, let us all begin a
| once and set ourselves to work for grea
business ''boom" in Virginia and through
out the South. The cotton crop is very
large, the tobacco crop s all that we could
reasonably ask, the corn crop is splendid
our people are all fee from visitations O.
pestilence; the eyes of capitalists and Other
men of enterprise are turning southwark
for investments; in a word, these resource
full Southern States of ours are now stand
ing in the very vestibule of a grand destiny
for each and all of them. And they have
only to accept their great opportunity tt
move right ON and become buster, ant
stronger than was ever contemplated ever
in the bodest visions of their most sanguins
SONS of the old slavery era, out of which
with fire sword, we were brought into
the expanding present with its incessan
whirl and buzz Of business, its vigorous pub
lie spirit, and its bold and robust aspira
tons, all forcing US forward into future
so full of colossal achievements as almost tt
stagger the Imagination in contrasting what
was with what is to be in the South and fol
the Southern people.

be the slogan of Virginia and of all her sis
