If Was Another Harrison.

A paragraph in the N Northern papers to
the effect that on Monday President Harri-
son would go from Cape May to Natural
Bridge in Rockbridge, and thus pass through
Staunton, stirred the curiosity of our people
a good deal. At the Valley depot, Monday af-
ternoon at 7 O'Clock, there were three OF four
hundred people gathered to catch glimpse
Of him. He was not on the train, nor were
any of his family. But in the parlor car
was Mr.. M. Harrison, wealthy citizen Of
Philadelphia, with his wife and child, nurse
and coachman. Mr.. Harrison had sent his
carriage and horses on to Staunton the day
before by freight train, and intended to
drive over the beautiful country between
here and Natural Bridge. He must have
been astonished when the great crowd
gathered around the parlor car at the depot
to see him alight. He and his family drove
to the Virginia Hotel where they remained
for the night, and the next day took the
county road for Lexington.

We have received large hand bill of a
great eX-Confederate Reunion to be held in
Bell county, Texas, July 10th, under the
auspices OF the Bell County ex-Confederate
Association. Capt. James Boyd is the
President of the Association, and we see in
the programme that "a Confederate flag
will be presented to the Association by lit
tie Miss Minnie Boyd" Somewhere about
1852, Mr.. VIM. Sheets and wife, residing on
the j. III. Peyton farm near Staunton, died
within few days of each other, leaving six
orphans, all small. One of them, Mary
Lizzie was adopted by Col. J. Marshall Nc
Cue and his mother. Capt. JAS Boyd, a
native OF Taylor county, w. Va, COM
manding company in the 18th Va. Regt.,
from that section, was badly wounded at the
battle of Mine Run and was nursed under
Col. McCueS roof. He married Miss
Sheets in January 70, and carried her to
Bell county, of which he had been resident
III connection with San Sata county since
the Fall OF '65. Very soon Bell county
honored him with a seat in the legislature,
and he has the honor of being the first Pres
ident OF this Confederate Association. The
little lady, now in her eleventh year, who is
to present the flag, wrote her first letter to
Col. McCue and with it sent her photograph
to her Uncle" as she atfectionately calls
him.

An Education that there is Ready Money
In

The South, our own State of Virginia,
and our own section of that State are be-
ginning to team with nterprises--practl-
cal, money-making enterprises. They re-
quire book-keepers, type-Writers and short
hand writer's, and they pay for them. Prof.
Dunsmore, whose Business College here
has been stepping to good salaries
for hundreds of young men and women OF
this section, has determined to do his share
towards keeping these employments III the
hands of our own young men and women
and not have the new enterprises forced to
draw on the Northern States for their help.
He has put the cost of a course at his col
lege. which includes all the things we have
named, down to just about one-half what
it is in any other college of like character.
In eight months at his institution an
average young man OF woman can be lifted
to command a salary; such salary as is
paid to competent clerks. His terms, adj
vertised in another column, will strike
every one by their moderate character. Let
us build up our own Business College while
we are building up everything else around
us, and it will, in turn, furnish the young
men and women to do the bushes of these
enterprises.

Serenading the New District ATTORNEY

MI. VIM. E. Craig of Staunton, who has
been appointed U. S. District Attorney for
the Western District of Virginia, is as per-
sonally popular here as he is politically I'M
popular, which is putting it pretty strongly.
The Stonewall Brigade Band desiring to
compliment a fellow citizen who had receiv-
ed so distinguished an honor, serenaded him
at his residence on Augusta street, Monday
night. In responding, Mr.. Craig took occa-
sion to say that he was proud of that mani
festation of regard spoke with appreciation
Of the part the Staunton bar had taken in
recommending him for the office; alluded
to the serenade as what he hoped was an
evidence of a more kindly personal feeling
between the members of the two political
parties and closed by announcing his inten
tion to prosecute every violation of the
election laws that he could find.
Mr.. Craig, the new Attorney, is a native
of Augusta, about thirty eight years Of age,
a graduate of Roanoke College, and has
been at the bar for fourteen years.
He was a member of the law firm of n. K
Trout and W. E. Craig at the time of MI
Trout's death. He was appointed Collec-
tor of this Internal Revenue District by
President Arthur, and his was perhaps the
only case where man making a far larger in
come at his profession exchanged it for the
smaller salary Of a Federal office. He was
as active in his Office in political matters as
he was before, and made the Internal Reve-
nue. Office a sort of annex to the Republican
party. In the official duties of the position
he made an excellent officer. After his con-
nection with that position ended, he re-
sumed his profession and has again built
up large practice. He is popular with
his fellow members Of the bar, and every
one of them, except two, signed a petition
to President Harrison for his appointment.

The C. & O. and B. & O. Before the Inter
States Commerce Commission.

MI VIM. l.. Rawson, formerly engaged
in the manufacture of lumber in Starnton,
now in the same business in Richmond,
made complaint against the Newport
News Il Mississippi Valley Ry. and the B.
& o., which was heard by the lnter-States
Commerce Commission at Washington on
Thursday. The case is interesting to all
shippers. The petitioner, MI. RaWson,
states that he resides in Richmond, Va, is
engaged in the manufacture and shipping
of lumber, and has a storage-yard at Gov
ingtOn, Va, on the Chesapeake q Ohio rail
way. The petitioner also ships from other
points. The Newport News and MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley operated at the time Of the occa-
sion Of the complaint the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway within the States of Virginia
and West Virginia. He says that for some
years previous, and during the spring and
summer Of 1887, there existed a tariff on
lumber on the Chesapeake and Ohio to New
Y ork city, including delivery to any point
within the lighterage limits of New York
harbor, of "a cents per 100pounds. Short
~ ttlUCl elIO pCU1o1ollCl IolI1ppOu Ilolh WV
mgton, Va, a carload Of lumber for New
York city at the above rate. Twoor three
days after the shipment the agent Of the
Newport News and Mississippi Valley Com
pany handed to the petitioners agent at
Covington, bills of lading showing a change
in the route of transportation by shipping
Uid Staunton and the Baltimore and Ohio
road, which change incurred an additional
charge of not less than 5 cents per 100
pounds to be eXacted for the delivery by
lighterage from Communipaw to the desti-
nation within lighterage limits. The petit
toner complains that he did not receive
notice of this increased rate, nor was such
information published as the law directs.
This difference in charge, and failure to
post circulars, the petitioner holds, was in
violation of the act to regulate commerce.
Testimony was then given for the COM
plainant and defendants, after which the
case was submitted by the attorneys repre-
senting all parties. The Commission took
the case under advisemeut.
