JOHN III. WEHN,
Beautiful wraps can be had very cheap
at Henry, Young & Co.'S.
ESthar.

The Oratorio of Esther, the oft told
tale OF Ahasuerus, the wandering jew, a
legend that may be truly interpreted
as a type of its own persistence, was very
ably presented by the musical talent of
this city, under the direction OF Prof.
G. A. Clary. The presentation is EMIT
led to, dual commentator First from
the kindly spirit that so willingly lent
itself in the behalf of benevolent aid
and in the second instance to the happy
conception and faithful portraiture of
this story in song of a people whose
King had to undergo many stages of ex-
istence, metamorphoses of being, before
he is brought to recognize that God is
no visible great King, but spirit and
truth, working power, pervading
the all whose manifestations have been
evoked and made evident throughout
the ages in the form best suited to the
people and their temperaments; that
God in brief is too great for human
grasp, but that each man knows him
according to his power of comprehension
in the Cantata is too we'll known to in
dividualiZe further than to suggest that
in Miss Slower and Miss Fannie Tame
hill, Staunton may again enjoy a
type Of her former favorite and Queen
of Song-AIrs. Bumgardner.

Does Advertising Paw?

OF course the above heading is a very
interesting one to Newspaper Publish
ers. because it is largely by the insertion
of advertisements that newspapers are
enabled to live One of the most re-
markable cases of what advertising has
done has come under our notice, is the
business of w. S. Powell, the we'll known
Fertilizer Manufacturer of Baltimore
We suppose our many readers have no
ticed his attractive advertisement run
ming in our paper since June last. Mr..
Powell informs u.s. that his business for
the month of September, this year, was
greater in amount than his entire sales
We're for the whole year Of 1887, and he
attributes this great increase in his bu-
siness to results brought about by adver-
Using his we'll known Fertilizers and
Chemicals in the VALLEY VIRGINIAN
and similar frst-class papers. 70 those
of our readers who don't know Powells
Fertilizers we would recommend writing
to Mr.. Powell for one of his attractive
pamphlets. 1t contains many useful
suggestions to farmers.

The Crowds on Monday.

The crowds which listened to the
speakers at the Skating Rink and at the
Court House. were up to expectations as
to numbers. Malone bills had been
flooded over the adjoining counties and
special rates and extra trains secured
Augusta, Rockbridge, Bath, Allegheny,
Rockingham. Greene, Albemarle and
Nelson were represented at the Rink,
where about 1900 were in attendance,
composed of Mahoneites, Republicans
and Democrats. The attendance was
not as large as that which greeted John
S. Wise four years ago, but it made up
in lung power for what it lacked in num-
bers. 1t was, however, a complimentary
reception to the speaker and ought to
be satisfactory.
The Court House was packed in both
gallery and floor, to listen to Mr. Buch
anan and ex-senator Riddleberger. The
Democrats had made no unusual effort
to get a crowd, and it was composed al
most exclusively of county people.
Take it all in all. both sides ought to
be satisfied with the numbers present
Of course Gen. Malone was the drawing
ticket. Hundreds of persons were in the
Rink who went there from curiosity to
see and hear, with no thought of voting
! for him. At the hotel his room was Wis
tied by a large number of persons to see
and speak to him. Senator Riddleber-
/ gers room was also point of attraction
and constant stream of men flowed in
and out, who went to pay their respects
to him.
There was no unpleasant incident that
married the proceedings of the day, and
all seemed to be in a good humor after
the close of the demonstrations.
At night Hon. J. c. Burrows delivered
a very able speech in the Rink, confined
to discussion of national issues. He is
splendid speaker and a splendid man,
and under ordinary circumstances would
4 be effective in winning votes to the Re
/ publican cause.

The Iron Gate Stove Plant.

Allegheny Sentinel: The stove plant
which has been for some time past under
contract for removal to Iron Gate, will
be removed in a very short time. 1t is
the plant of the celebrated Hanging
Rock company, now located at Ironton,
Ohio. We are informed by gentleman
interested in the plant, that it will be
removed to the young Allegheny city
within ninety days. 1t will employ at
the start an average of fifty hands, and
will turn out about thirty to forty fin
ished stoves per day. The concern will
be only one of a number of industrial
plants to follow from different parts of
Ohio and the North. The iron furnaces
Of Ohio and the North cannot make iron
at Southern prices, hence the removal of
these plants to Virginia iron centers.

health The very best of actors require
prompting occasionally, and so it is with
the functional parts of our bodies, they
sometime require prompting. slug

An article that has, comparatively
speaking, been but recently introduced
in America, is by far the best little

staple article in England, having been
before the British public for over fifty
years and already in great demand in
every other English speaking country
throughout the world These pills are
really a wonderful medicine, arousing
and strengthening the system and
prompting every organ to the proper
performance Of its part. 1t has recently
been shown that they are nine times
more used in England than any other
patent medicine and have the largest
sale of any in the world. In fact, they
are the Worlds Medicine. No home in
