Wine for the Communion Table

Speer's unfermented grape juice, pre-
esrved absolutely pure as it runs from
the press without cooking or the addi-
tion of spirits or any substance in any
form whatever. 1t is preserved by pre-
cipitating and extracting the ferment or
yeast principal by electricity and fumi-
cation.
In reply to correspondent asking to
purchase by it the gallon, Mr.. Speer re-
piled that his experience was not suffi-
Gent to warrant him in taking the risk
of offering the Juice for sale in large
packages, or even by the gallon, unless
the whole is to be used Immediately af-
Ter opening, but ne will warrant it to
keep any length of time in bottles if they
are kept full and well corked. The juice
is not likely to keep long after allowed
to come In contact with atmosphere
that is over 40 degrees temperature.

| see from a communication which
appeared last week in the Gerards-
town Times that citizens of our
county and of Frederick county, Va.
mean to have railroad running
from your city through the valley
between Apple-pie Ridge and North
Mountain to the west of Winchester
and on to Wardensville. They have
been discreet enough too, to have it
a narrow gauge road. 1t is a road
that can be built at so small an ex-
pense that it does seem to me to be
entirely within the means of the peo-
pie along the proposed route to make
the road. These roads are capable
of doing large amount of freight
hauling, and while such road is
within the means of these people to
build, it will carry their produce to
market The people of Back Greek
valley hail this enterprise with de-
light, and the road, when built, will
not lack encouragement on their
part. If the people of Martinsburg
are smart they will encourage the
building of this road. They at least
should do as much for it as Winches
ter has done, or will do, to secure
the extension of the G. V. via the
Turnpike. Martinsburg will gain
more by the building of the narrow
gauge than Winchester will by the
extension of the &. V. The trade of
Martinsburg can be vastly increased
by this enterprise, if its people will
take advantage Of the opportunity
presented to them by encouraging
the people who want this road. Mar
tinsburg viii be the only distributing
point for the produce that this road
will carry to the east. 1t will put

itself in relation TO the people along
the entire line OF the road that must,
from every point of view, be of vast
Importance to it. 1t viii capture
the trade that has contributed more
to Winchester's prosperity than any
other trade it has had. 1t is Mar
tinsburg's golden opportunity. 1t
looks to me too, as if capitalists and
business men of Baltimore could by
contributing to the building of this
road, bag the G. V. extension COM
pletely and add another avenue to
their trade, another feeder to the b.
4 O. If this road is built it would
give splendid opportunity for some
enterprising man of Martinsburg to
go into the business of grinding SUI
mac and bark. 1t would add large
~ to the manufacturing interests of
your city and be source of large
profit to any one who would engage
in the business. 1t would give the
party a decided advantage over any
one engaged in similar enterprise
at Winchester, as it will draw the
trade in the way of supplies that has
heretofore gone to Winchester. Ger
man Smith, of the latter place, who
has in the past enjoyed almost mo-
nopoly in his dealing in bark and SUI
mae drawn from the section of coun-
try contiguous to this road, having
gone into the c. V. extension bust
ness, will soon lose interest in his
bark and sumac enterprise if this
road is built, and Martinsburg may
as well profit by Winchester's loss
in this way. MIX.

The Mills Bill Did II.

CHAIBERsBURG, Pa, July 30.-The
mills of the Chambersburg Wooden
Company shut down this morning,
throwing eighty hands out of en-
plogment. In answer to an inquiry
by the correspondent of The Ameri-
can as to the cause of the suspension,
President Samuel M. Gawer, of the
Wooden Company, said:
81 attribute our suspension to the
passage of the Mills bill, and the
present free trade ascendancy. The
tariff agitation has been an injury to
our business for months past, and
now that the Mills bill is passed the
trade and our markets arc democrat
lied. We regard the bill as the en-
tering wedge for free trade, pure and
simple, and that is what Democratic
ascendancy will mean. Our goods
are mainly heavy overcoatings and
fall cloakings, and our customers in
New York and Boston will not only
not place any new orders with us,
but are taking advantage of any film
sly pretext they may find to cancel
orders already placed. We cannot
keep our machinery going without
knowing when and where we will
have a market for our product. We
cannot compete with foreign manu-
facturers ever with free wool. This
suspension is only temporary, but
free trade means the closing of our
mills permanently, as our customers
will then buy foreign goods"
