A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

If the Virginia Democrats will listen to
few suggestions they will find their path
to victory well graded next fall.
Don't have the State convention at al
early day. Make it as late as possible
There ale many conclusive reasons for this

whelming and are even more wide reaching
than through Virginia. The House of Re-
representatives. is too close for the Democrats
to run the risk of taking a single member
out of it. And if an extra session is called
by the President, as is now threatened, a
congressional gubernatorial candidate in
Virginia would have to leave the field and
go to Washington. One office at time had
better be the motto for the Virginia Demo.

English. Say you want the high national
taxes reduced, land that you want home labor
and products protected as they were in the
Mills Bill-a bill on which the people of the
United States, by 100000 majority, voted
to elect Grover Cleveland last fall.
Stand by the Virginia Settlement of the

Republican party stand by the Creditors

Approaching Centennial Of a Staunton
School,

Editor VindcdtOr:
The Stanton Acat envy, now conducted by S.
H. OWENS Principal, was incorporated in 1892.
Repairs and improvements already made by Mr..
Owens have given new aspect to the venerable
building which, with the completion of the re-
novation now progressing, will be an ornament to
the city. Though nearly one hundred years old,
not one book has been acquired for library, not
one mineral as a nucleus for cabinet, and not a
Sciences, belongs to the Academy. In three years
will occur the centennial of the Academy. Let it
find the Academy thoroughly equipped-having
a good library, a chemical laboratory, a complete
set of philosophical apparatus, with charts, maps,
Donations are solicited, whether of books maps,
apparatus, or money. The GARD of Trustees, OF
which Hon. A. II. II. Stuart is President and Jos.
A. Wadden Secretary, will gratefully accept and
carefully preserve whatever may be donated.
While the citizens of Augusta county are appeal
ed to especially, the Academy belonging to Au-
gusta county, yet it is hoped that very many
others will be found to contribute towards SO
praseworthy an object.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
D1NpER TWINE TRUST AGAIN.

To meet the wants of that class of farmers who
| are dissatisfied with the price of Irvine for the
present year, we issued a circular to you offering
| to furnish Hand Binding Tables for our harves-
tiers at $500 each. We did this to meet the case of
any farmer who did not feel inclined to buy a
Harvester with Binder attachment the present
year, or who should prefer to bind by hand in
stead of with Twine.
We have now made Wire Twister which is in
Interchangeable with our knotter. The knotting
arrangement be taken out and the Wire
Twster substituted in its place. 1t is simple ar
rangement and can be changed in few minutes.
We do this to meet the wishes of any of our GUS
| toners who think they would prefer to use wire
| instead of Irvine.
/ We are endeavoring to serve the farming pub
| lie and meet their wishes, but in doing so it is
only right that we should say that we cannot ad-
wise the change. If any one af1irms that the use
of wire is cheaper and better than Irvine for the
binding OF grain, he isstating what is untrue and
! misleading, and only be designed for that
purpose.
Those of you who formerly used Wire Binders
will recollect that it took from 81 to lbs of wire
to bind an acre of grain, and often more in heavy
grain, and that the wire is Objectionable in many
respects, especially in that it leaves particles
steel in the wheat which is very annoying to the
millers and can only be removed by the use of
magnets. Formerly all the millers using grain
bound with wire, supplied themselves with these
magnets, but there are many mills where they
have been throw out, and new mills where they
have never been introduced. We notice the
millers of Texas have already issued a circular to
farmers saying that they will not pay as much by
5 to 10 cents bushel for wheat bound with wire
Besides, wire costs 10 cents per h., making the
cost to cut an acre of wheat about 25 to 80 cents
which would be as high as Irvine at 20 cts per Id.
We will furnish the Wire Twster and all that
is necessary to go with it, at net price of 49, rs,
and warrant it interchangeable with the Irvine
knotter
We are the only manufacturers of harvesting
machinery who make their own Irvine and have
refused to enter any combination or tSust to place
fictitious value on Irvine. Hence may be attri-
buted to us the cause of Irvine selling at reason
able prices
A full line of Deering Binders, Mowers, Irvine,
&C., are offered forsae by J. A. WISE of Staunton,

The President Puts His Veto on Three
Crooked Pension Cases.

WASHINGTON, Jan 16 The Presi-
dent to-day returned to the House
three vetoed private pensionbills, One
granting pension to Charles +
Scott, who served in the army four
months and sixteen days at the close
of the war, and who claims pension
frr partial blindness resulting from
"amp.itch, contracted in July, 1865
The President vetoes because be is
satisfied that the impairment of Scott's
vision was not the result Of any inci-
dent of his army service. Another
granting pension to E. ]. Yang
him, who claims pension upon an
alleged wound Of his left leg, the
President thinks the proof in the case
establishes the fact that before enlist
ment the beneficiary had sore on his
leg, and that whatever disability has
existed since his discharge arose from
causes present before enlistment, and
not being chargeable to his military
record the bill is vetoed. In the third
hill granting a pension to ThamaSB
walsh, who claims pension for
rheumatism contracted in May, 1865,
the President finds that Walsh de-
serted in November 1864, was restored
20 duty in May, 1866, and that the evi
dence fixes the appearance of disahil-
ity complained Of at date near the
return of the beneficiary after deser-
tion. In these circumstances, the
President says in vetoing the bill, the
proof of disability, such as it is, is as
consistent with its occurrence during
desertion as it is with the theory that
The beneficiary suffered therefrom AZ
the result of honorable military ser,
