In large cities is a constant demand for good
Filters at salaries ranging from s15 to $50 a
week. There are hundreds of young women
throughout the country who have the taste and
opportunity, and a knowledge of the laws that
govern the art of drcss-making. Awanto f this
knowledge precludes the possibility of reaching
a high position as Cutter and Filter. We will
help you in this matter. We teach you in de-
tail the art of cutting. That our method is not
hard to learn is clearly demonstrated by the
following testimonials of some of the best citi-

to the Baltimore Sun heartily accords
with tribute recently paid by Col.
S. WelseY sneed to the bravery and
devotion to the Southern cause of
Gen. Roger A. Pryor. Mr.. Daniel,
however, says that Col. Sneed erred
in saying Gen. Pryor was a member
of tie Thirteenth Virginia Cavalry.
On the contrary, he says Gen. Pryor
was private in Company E, (Notto-

Mr.. Daniel was a private in the same

the drawing OF the Buena Vista lots,
in Rockbridge county, Va, last

have been discovered, and large town
is Rthe prospective. The stock being

in all to the amount of one hundred
shares in this locality. With usual JEFF
ferson county good luck in this line,
our shareholders came out all right in
the drawing, and are we'll satisfied
with the result. Buena Vista is To-
Gated on the S. V. R. r., about one
mile north of Lock Laird, in Rock
bridge county, and has very bright
prospects. A pulp mill, tannery and
canning factory are under contract,
and one furnace is about being put
under contract, with others likely to
follow. A large hotel, costing $780,
600, is nearly completed. A son of
Mr.. Carnegie, the great millionaire
iron operator, was over the Buena
Vista field last week, and pronounced
himself highly pleased with the
prospect.
