Luray ought certainly TO be proud Of
herself, not only for what nature has done
for her. but also on account Of her officers
and town council-elected on the wet
ticket and running on the dry-no, not
themselves. but their constituents.
We wish to describe natural curiosity
Barnum ought to have, and would have
had, if after the fire he had heard Of HIM.
This peculiar specie OF the genus homo
acts as county Judge, town sergeant, and
shyster and ever on the alert for his coun-
~. his pocket and the unfortunate cir
eumstance that he was born thirsty. On
Sunday morning he can be seen sitting
on a dry goods box in the Main street
waiting to see If any strangers in town
coming from the aim" and going to the
Cave could be made to drop few
shekels into the county treasnrers box
and thus be made to refresh the inner
man. You must recOlect IN Lnray the
ardent cannot be bought by the glass and
it takes therefore a certain cash capital to
send of. Ali and when it comes that
way 1t is so soon gone.
We wish to describe certain little
scene which happened last Sunday and IN
which the ma jesty Of the law, as retailed
in Luray, was certainly not respec ed
Three strangers had spent the night at
the Luray Inn and had partaken o. the
bospitalty of Mr.. Muller, OF which there
is none better.
After breakfast they started to see the
cave. They were fairly well dressed and
mounted a casual observer would have
sad that they were pleasure seekers hav-
ing few dollars to spend. They oantered
along through the town, when 10! the
ever vigilant c. j., T. s, and s. with the
hereditary disease strong on him, threw
M his arms in the middle Of the street
and said, "Stopw One of the pleasure
seekers on looking at II close, said to his
companion, "Whatis it y The companion
said. "Don't know" Then the pleasure
seekers said for information, "Who the
devil are you ~ The what is 1t replied
"Ill show YOU" then tried to expectorate
but could not, and the pleasure seekers
rode on. On returning from the wonder
OF the cave they were confronted by a
deputy, of the combination being, who
SAID, "You're wanted at the mayors office
on complaint of Judge Frebrand."
The strangers rode to the Inn with the
full intention Of complying with the law
but on consultation with respectable res
idents wero informed that no explanation
would do at tho mayors Office az the c. j.,
+. S. and s. wanted the wherewith and
lost no good opportunity. Well, they got
on their horses, regretting much they
could not stay to dinner with such q
worthy host, and shaking the dust from
their horses hoofs declined the mayors
kind invitation, said good by to the CD.
T. s. and S. in monosy tables, and hereby
warn the travelling public: Go to the Inn
You can't do better and 60 to tho cave
but if You can ayoid the town and the
combination being, do it. DC. V. b.

lifts OF POISON.


1t il time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the suppress
sion Of all gift, prize and lottery schemes
in connection with the sale of articles OF
merchandise. These schemes are not only
demoralizing to legitimate business and to
the morals Of the community, but in the
extent IN which they are being carried IN
the sale of articles of food have become a
source of great danger to the public
health. They are, no matter in what
form they appear, nothing more or less
than devices to swindle honest and un-
suspecting people.
1t is gratifying to learn that in some in
stances the officers Of the law have taken
hold of the matter In New York, and
also IN Chicago, parties who in this way
offered gifts to purchasers of their pack
ages have recently been arrested upon in
dictments for lottery swindling. The
latest candidates, both for public execra-
ton and criminal prosecution, are the
manufacturers of the alum baking pow
ders, who are both, by means Of gifts and
lottery tickets, disposing Of large quanti-
ties OF their corrosively poisonous COM
pounds. which are 80 we'll known to be
detrimental to health that no housekeeper
will admit them to her kitchen knowing
~. This form of swIndle is not only be-
ing peddled from house to house, but un-
der the promise Of large profits to be real
lied, the manufacturers are ontrenching
themselves behiEd the counters of many
grocers by getting them to offer the alum
goods with the gifts or lottery tickets at
tached, thereby shifting the liability to
prosecution, in part, upon other, and per-
haps innocent parties. Every grocer or
dealer, for instance, WHO sells or offers for
sale any of the prize or lottery baking
powders is a criminal in the eye of the
law, and liable, upon conviction, to fine
and imprisonment, while those who sell
the gift goods are, morally, as responsible,
for they are offering an inducement, or
prize, to housekeepers to use o. food that
contains a corrosive poison. This is
predicament in which it is not possible our
grocers will care to place themselves
when they come to think seriously of the
matter.
II must 3e borne in mind that every
one Of these gift or prize baking powders
are alum baking powders. These powders
cost less than four cents pound to pro-
duce the gift or prize costs but a few
cents more. They are sold at the price Of
hrst-class baking powder, so that tho
swindle, in commercial sense, is enor-
nous. But the chief iniquity Of the busl-
ness consists in selling, as presumably
W holesome, an article Of pomtively in
furious character, and by means OF gifts
or brides inducing servants or unsuspect-
ing housekeepers to purchase and use ii
in our daily food.
There should be somo prompt method
Of reaching these dangerous practices and
Furnishing the parties engaged in theiT
promotion. II the present laws are moi
ample. we commend the matter to the
consideration Of our State Board Of Health
for recommendation Of such additional
legislation as shall DO effective for the pro-
lection Of the public.

EDINBURG Va, MAY lst, 1898.
In reply TO the Edinburg Cornet Band,
of the 9th ulto., will state that |. tho
said leader referred TO, in leaving without
cause, il not the truth. If | would have
been respected as a leader ought TO have
been, would have sent in my resignation
in writing, but the bylaws of the band
never was carried out since was elected
leader How many has qnit the band in
the last six months and never sent in any
resignation As far as saying what are
the id republicans going to do for music
is a lie without the least foundation, as it
was not said in that way; but il | would
have laid it would stick to it regardless
Of cost. As far as the other is concerned
| would rather be SOW and eat cabbage
than a set of jackasses without brains.
How was il, boys, when the democratic
band first organized, the republican band
boosted that they would have TO have
Jacob Wissler to cast them a set of instrn-
ments and also a leader But, alas, to the
surprise Of the republican band the demo-
cratic band came out with a fine set OF
instruments, and above all, n leader that
has stuck to his band through thick ard
thin. We certainly think the tide has
turned and rolling down pretty rapidly
and from all accounts never to return
The Joke is turned, with the exception OF
one thing, the republican band has the
instruments 10 blow but no one to blow
them. ooh. boysw "Poor boys" We
think you had better apply to Jacob Wis
sler to cast you leader as quick as posi-.
BILE, If you do not tho last tail of yOu will
Join the democratic band. Goodbye,
boys, if you wish any more you can have
it some other time.
Yours truly, JOS. l.. GLENN.
