HARRIsONBURG ELECrION.-A the
municipal election held in Harrisonbura,
last Thursday. d. Shefiey Lewis, Repub.
can, was elected mayor over Pendleton
Bryan, Democrat. by 81 majority, and the
entire Reform ticket was successful. Last
year Lee carried the town by IS majority
over Wise. Harrlsonbnrg is to be con:
graduated not only on account of her VIC
tory over ring rule, but upon having ele-
waited to her chief office one of the purest,
ablest and most progressive young men Of
Virginia-one whose administration will
not only justify the confidence expressed
in his election, but will in every respect
prove creditable and beneficial to the
town.
The result ia not regarded as q partizan
victory. 1t is simply another evidence Of
the assertion of that independence on tht
part of The voter, which looks to men and
measures rather than party names, and is
a bright sign of promise for the future Of
Virginia.

That our people should hesitate to give i'm
| mediate and cordial support to the establish
ment of 81 creamery at all, is surprising; bull
| that they should do so, after having sent an III
| telllgent committee to one in successful opera
| ton, and having heard the favorable report OF
| that committee is yet more surprising; but
1 again, in summing up the proceeds from the
| last years crops and comparing the income
t, the present modes of farming with what
(at The very iowest) may reasonably. aye,
surely, be expected from well conducted
creamery with branches i'll every nelghpor-
hood, is more surprising still.
From what we saw and heard in the several
meetings of our farmers held in Waynesboro a
/ few months, ago ali thought the creamery was
I n settled iact-and so it is--but, from con-
ycrsation recently had with Mr.. L. G. Wright,
the gentleman who proposed to furnish the
..a,ital to ere CT the buildings and furnish the
machinery we are led To the belief that the
people most interested in the scheme. will
allow some time to pass before coming forward
and doing their part, VIZ, furnishing the COWS.
Mr. w. has made a canvass of that part of the
district in which it was reasonably expected a
greater number of the cows would be pledged
and is not encouraged to that extent that he
feels justified In making the Immediate outlay
of capital required, but thinks that In time the
farmers Will have the fact that 1t Is to their
interest to support the scheme thrust upon
them.
There are plenty of cows in the section Wis
tied to furnish the requisite amount of milk
to operate creamery of large capacities, but
as usual our people are slow to engage in a new
enterprise.
1t was thus when the first harvesters came
into this country-only few would purchase
reapers. The old foges declared the thing
humbug and predicted a speedy return to
cradles and scythes. Look over the land to-
day Eow many farmers try to farm without
the latest patents?
can well remember when there was but
little stock taken in sewing machines. Our
mothers had little confidence in the ability OF
a machine like that doing what was claimed
for it, How many houses are without
now?
But let us make % few comparisons and see
how this new idea of creamery stands when
placed beside the present method of butter
making:
