These are the new Councilmen of whom
the fear is expressed that they will do
something to iDjure the city in their Of
fetal capacity. Compare them with the
Councilmen of previous administration
and certainly they need have no fear of
suffering.

Ward, elected on the Primary ticket, are
w. 2. Tams, Cashier of the Augusta Ma
tion Bank, T. B. Berkeley Teller of the
Augusta National Bank, and ] A. Coch-
ran, former mayor of the city, and one of
the most successful and practical of our

highest worth, and with the other men
named, will have the interests of the city
in their care for the next two years =
Where should the fear come in for the
-city's welfare
Of the magistrates elected Messrs. w. |
b. Kayser and S. S. Smeltzer have had
years of experience in the Office. They
have always been recognized as good Off
GERS. iii fact as good as Stanton ever had |
Messrs. Henton. Timberlake Abby and |
Foster will also prove entirely acceptable |
in every way, and altogether we look for |
a better administration of the city IS af- |
fairs.
CHANGEoF VALLEY r. r SCHEDULE. |
One of the most undesirable and unpopu- |
lar chang Of schedules that evera rail-
road company could make went into effect |
onthe Valley Branch of B. e o. r. r., on
Sunday last. BY it Stanton is practj-
6a1 ont Of ctati
north and south and our people and the
people along the line generally have en-
tered a just and earnest protest. We sim
cerely trust that the r. R. officials will
have consideration enough for the public
to discontinue such a schedule before the
week is out.
Under the new schedule the passenger
train north leaves Staunton at sos p. NJ,
and for the south at CAT a. m. The mixed
train south leaves at Ais p. m, and north
at APO p. m.
The train southbound runs regularly
from Baltimore to Harrisonburg, where it
arrives at AIS p. M, and stops. The pas
sengers for Stanton and south, east and
west must lay over there all night and
take the train at $40 the next morning.
To transact an hours business in Harri-
sOnburg the Stauntonian must spend two
nights and day. The reason for such
schedule is unknown. but certainly if the
indignant protests of the public along the
road are to be considered it will be of very
short duration.
