Political Note,

Our esteemed contemporary, Cabman
Jones, informs US that he cannot support our
nominee, the mosquito, for the dignihed Of
fee OF national bird. He says the mosquito
does not soar high enough. Indeed, he says
that he has lived in countries where mosqui-
toes filled the air chock full down near the
earth, yet on going up fifteen feet above the
ground he always escaped them. The Post
is not an organ. 1t means to be fair to al
parties, and it must say that Cabman Jones
If his testimony be accurate, has presented
the only real argument we have heard against
the mosquito. Surely this proud nation will
not accept for its bird one that never file.

NOunadiC,

A gentleman riding on horseback over the
western prairies, met dilapidated prairie
schooner drawn by pair Of bony and hol-
low eyed oxen. A ragged, uncouth man and
woman of equally unattractive appearance,
with fretful and untidy baby in her arms,
occupied the front seat while the rear part
of the wagon did not seem to contain any
thing but other ragged children of all ages
and sizes.
The man brought the oxen TO a standstill
and thus accosted the traveller:

conversation with this queer specimen of hu-

A COOL SUNDAY AT HOME.
A Tragedy with Corpuient Woman an
Small Girl for Characters.

Small Girl for Characters.
A Farnain street woman, whose stoutness
makes her susceptible to the heat stayed at
home from church last evening, and, in the
company of her 6-year-old daughter and
palm leaf fan, prepared to enjoy a quiet
evening upon the front porch.
Unfortunately the s.year-old was in a
talkative mood and the following unseason-
able dialogue took place;
MA, why don't you wear your black vel
vet dress instead of that old white wrappers"
The stout woman famed vigorously.
"Hush, darling; it is too heavy for such
weather. l will wear it next winter"
"And will you buy me little muff next
winter, with fur all around the holes where
you put your hands throughr
The stout woman's fingers adhered to the
handle of her fan.
"Be quiet, dear; can't tell what / shall do
next winter"
I'D Ike n nice white woody hood, too.n
The crimp came out of the stout woman's
bangs as she said;
"Well, do not think about it now"

The tormented mother moved uneasily in
her willow chair.
"Do anything you like, but don't bother
me-"

There was q short silence

lovely CRATE fire last fall, used to lie on this

The SCOUT womans feet burned and began
to ache.

to the district and are conveniently 10
Gated to place their output at the com
lnand of enterprises that might be estab-
lished at the Junction.
A noticeable feature about the sugges-
ton OF city at Waynesboro Junction
is that the people have faith that such
will eventually be the fact. We have
been asked hundred times, by stand,
matter-of-fact farmers from different
portions of the county within the past
year, "Why don't you start a boom at
abiding confidence that a town will
be built there, and a disposition to assist
in building it. 1--WE are waiting for
Waynesboro," is the response that comes
are applied to take stock in other enter
prises. ''Start boom at Waynesboro
and we will join YOU 'Why not boom
Waynesboro? 1t is the best place in
the South for town." is a common eX-
preston with the people who never so
away from home to look after booms or
anything else. 1t is kind OF presen-
timent with them that movement for
city at Waynesboro Junction would
be success. They feel that way and
could be readily induced to unite in an
effort to improve the splendid natural
advantages which are there offered.
1t is not our purpose to attempt to slim
ulate the public mind to the tensl On
of modern boom. We do not de
sire to see boom anywhere i'll Virginia.
The attractions here are substantial and
durable. They need no fictitious or SEN
sational adjuncts. All that is wanting
is that men of capital shall become ac-
auainted with the actual facts of the
case and the marvellous natural re-
sources of the section-their undevel-
oped condition and the sure foundation
they offer for genuine, healthy and re-
munerative industrial activity. There
is no locality either north or south OF the
Potomac which presents so many real
attractions and advantages for town
as Waynesboro Junction. Nature seems
to have fashioned the locality for an in
dustrial centre and thriving, busy, pop
ulous city. The territory. is at command
for business and residence buildings
the minerals are present for iron and
steel industries, and other natural re-
sources are contiguous to induce diver
sified industries and invite and stimulate
endeavor in every industrial enterprise.
We hope the gentlemen who have ta-
ken this matter in hand will engineer it
to successful contamination. The
proper energy and truthful statement
of the facts cannot fail to attract and
rivet attention, for when half has been
known, the wonder will be that such
bountiful provisions of nature have so
long been neglected.
The time and conditions are propi-
tious. Capital is looking this way and
where so many exceptional advantages
exist as do at the location we are con-
sidering, we have the utmost confidence
/ that favorable results will follow.
