More Than Half Way
ARE THOSE MET WHO MEAN BUSHES
AND WOULD DO SOMETHING.

With Spring fairly here at last and Ma
ture in smiling mood. the inclination to
look about for ways and means to better
surroundings is strong. With many last
summers action of the B. & 0. in issuing
Circular No. Z, with view of promoting
settlement and the establishment of man
ufacturing and other industries along its
line, came possibly rather late for bene-
fitting by its liberal Inducements during
1884. But now, with everything ripe for
advancement and Improvement, the Open
ings are most advantageous. The B. q
.. offers freight transportation at half
rates on household effects and building
material for dwellings or structures in
tended exclusively for manufacturing pur-
poses half passenger rates for workmen
employed on such improvements, and free
transportation for families and domestics,
first occupants of the dwellings constructed
as above, on the way to them, and there
after low communication rates. More than
this, free care and tranSmittal on paSstn
ger trains is rendered for marketing and
household supplies of reasonable bulk and
belonging to holders of communication
tickets. These concessions apply to sub
urban and other country settlements, and
those at all interested should communl-
cate with the proper officials and secure
full data-those east of the Ohio to Vice
President Spencer, Baltimore Pittsburgh
Division and tributaries, to General SUI
perintendent, Pittsburgh, and west OF the
Ohio, to General Superintendent Foreacre,
Newark.
Special inducements beyond such as have
been indicated may be given to manufac-
turing corporations, land and building as
| sociations. and individuals contemplating
the expenditure of considerable sums III
construction. In short the B. u Q. man
agement will be found right mp abreast OF
| the times. quick to discern the benefits to
accrue from energy and enterprise. and
alert in affording the fullest and heartlest
cooperation.

the Virginia Military Institute was re-
moved by the board Of visitors of that in

no THE VOTERS OF AUGUSTA.

OFFICE OF THE BALDWIN AUGUSTA FAIR
April 22nd, 1856.
Acting for the Baldwin Augusta
Fair as q Committee from it's Directory to
bring before the people in the May election, the
question of sustaining this institution, and put
ting it on permanent foundation, by direct
ing levy in accordance with its charter passed
January 18th, 1867, which provides, THAT the
Court of Augusta county, in laying the levy for
any year may provide fund, not exceeding
five cents for each 1nhabitant of the county, as
shown by the next preceding census ; and the
Council of the town of Staunton may, in the
limitation, to be paid over in each case to the
Augusta County Fair, and to be expended in
uitas9le prizes TO be offered at the
exisfsftionst conducted by The corporation. -
The necessities of the Fair requiring such q
guarantee fund, and as q means of establishing
It's future usefulness, the Board have resolved
to appeal to the people for whom. and by whom
it organized.
Col. Baldwin was the author of this clause,
and he believed that this insignificant contri-
button by the people to sustain the fair, would
place it beyond the contingencies of weather,
and enable 1T to promptly redistribute to our
people in the form of premiums, the money
Which their public spirit contributed to put
upon a solid foundation an organization whose
ann is to develop the resources of the county
and promote thrift among its people.
Feeling that you will be interested to secure
the success Of this proposition, we request that
You will be at your precinct the day of cleo
ton, and urge upon the voters the adoption of
the section above presented.

The Jury returned a verdict that de-
ceased had died from the effects of chloro-
form and strychnia, administered by her
own hand.
The body was neatly coffined and sent to
the home Of the girls father, Mr.. Noah
Kanupp, who lives about eight miles west
of Staunton.
A merchant of the city stated to VIR-
GILMAN reporter, that Elite Kanupp WIS
in his store on Wednesday morning. Some
remark was made about the party whom
she desired to call on her at the hotel
when she stated that she intended to kill
him on sight. The merchant S idea is that
had her lover called at the hotel as re-
queSted, she would have shot him. 1t
was known that she frequently carried y
pistol.
From the letter found telling her to
come to Waynesboro, and the fact that
she stated ut the hotel that she had in
tended going to Fishersville, but had
changed he. mind it is presumed that
her original purpose, when she left home,
was to go to Waynesboro, but that upon
reaching Staunton concluded to end her
troubles.
