THE COMMON COUNCIL.

A few weeks ago the YINDIcAToR
brought down on itself shower of indig-
notion from some old fogles, by demand
ing that at the coming election some new
blood should be put into our council. We
wanted more generally Representative
council-a fair representation of men who
work at the trades, and some young fell
lows with the restless energy that youth and
poverty give, and all that sort of thing.
And now, just as the election is on us.
some of our friends, the sort of voters we
depended on to help, go and coop them
selves apart and don't want to 60 into a
primary where it can be done. It's
just too bad. But the Democratic party
must see to it in this primary that they
put in some of the new material of which
we speak. 1t is good sense, justice and
equity, and it should be done. We now
look to them to do it.

THE SAD. ACCIDENT AT cov1NaToN
by which two young men lost their lives,
Monday evening, and of which you nave
seen some newspaper accounts, has cast
gloom ovor this community. Mr.. J.. M.
Hawkins, aged about 80. and his brother
ln-law, Harvey Kincaid. aged about u.
were fishing in boat in McAlllster's mill
dam. Before they were aware OF the fact,
the current which was unusually strong
| from the high water in the river had
drawn them so close to the edge OF the
dam that their boat became unmanage-
able and they jumped out and tried to
| swim to tie shore, but were soon carried,
struggling manfully, over the dam, beaten
down by the water, and seen no more.
/ Another accident occurred in the at
| tempt made by friends to secure the bodies,
| by stretching rope across the river un-
| der the water at Boswell's lower ford.
| Mr.. Charles Burke, with his wagon and
mule team, undertook to pull the rope
across the river, when tie wagon upset
and both driver and team struggled for
their lives in the swift current. Mr.. Joseph
McAllister in boat reached Mr.. Burke,
! who was almost drowned when he got to
him. but one of the mules was lost.
The bodies of the drowned men have not,
| at this writing, been found. Mr.. Hawkins

A BIG PRIMAR

The Democratic party of Staunton
should work and work and auork to have
out a full vote. a rousing big vote at It's
Primary, Tuesday. We want full ex-
preston of the people. The committee
has taken down the bars and every Demo-
Gratis name. who is candidate, will 60
on the list without the payment of a cent.
It is absolutely free for every Democrat
and there is no excuse for staying out.
The Democracy had the largest Injecting
ever held here to order this primary, and
now we want to see the largest primary
ever held here. Let business be given
up for that one day, for the results will
last for two years.

Who is to be our next Congressman

Editor Vindicator
This is not question that is without
its Importance, and the people of this dis
trict, largely agricultural, should study
the situation before they answer it.
The question now is not so much-can
we produce, but can we find a market for
our productions, and what steps can we
c0nstitutionally take to secure to ourselves
the proximity to market that God has
given us. OF what avail is it that we are
owners OF lard lying within hundred or
two miles OF deep water, and for that rea-
son, which cost us from 500 to $75 per
acre, if those who are thousand or two
miles from deep water and whose lands
cost them from SLIGO to SIS per acre, can
by the hocus pocus of railroad manage.
ment be put nearer market than we are
This is flying in the face of reason and as
reason is the soul of law, it is flying in the
face of all law.
We all see the trouble, but who is going
to bell the cat and how is it to be done?
There are two channels, the State and
Federal. Our State legislature shamefully
failed at its last session, and no man who
betrayed the interest of an agricultural
community should ever be allowed to
darken the doors of the Virginia State
House again. But sufficient for the day is
the evil thereof, these men will receive at
the hands OF an outraged people their just
need of reward in due season. The uues-
tion of the hour is on the Federal side of
the hedge just now, and it is proper that
the people should know the views of those
who propose to vote and speak for them
as to what they will do if elected, as to-
regulating this question of railroads.
Each county is OF course interested in her
own sons and would like to see them hon.
ored, but what is the empty honor of a
congressman to county if purchased by
continued slavery TO the railroads. Give
the farmers of Augusta and the district

Augusta. her hay and her live stock, do

What A Girl Thinks OF It.

Editor Vi71dicGtor:
In your last weeks paper, an article ap-
peared in which your informant had reck-
oned the number of marriageable and
marrying girls, among his acquaintance
in Stanton, to be 118 and the same sort
of gentlemen at 83. Now we would
simply ask the question, How many of the
number of gentlemen mentioned are worth
marrying p Judging from the majority of
those already married, we would fear and
tremble if we thought our lot was to be
with such, and say, Good Lord deliver
