Clerical Notes.

Rev. DR.. Fl. H. Halves, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church Of Staunton,
preached Sunday in the Second Presby terrain
church of Richmond, of which Rev. Dr..
Moses D. Hoge is pastor. The Richmond
Dispatch in short report of the sermon,
says:
cdr. Halves prefaced his sermon by saving
that thirty five years ago that day he sat in
this church and heard sermon from the pas
tor which so revealed to him the way of sal
walton that he was enabled then and there to
lay hold on Christ by the hand of faith as
personal Saviour. Dr.. Halves delivered a
discourse which was characterized by simpli-
city and tenderness and filled with striking
and edifying thought. At its close he was
warmly greeted by many of his old friends,
who crowded around him to testify their per-
sonal regard and their appreciation OF his eX-
cellent discourse"
Rev. J. 7. Wade, late graduate of Un-

Horse Stealing.

On Monday last, man giving the name
of J. H. Walker, arrived in Petersburg
with a horse which he offered at Robert
Stones livery stable for 800. 1t was bought
and a check given him in payment. A. II.
Towberman Of Augusta county, had a
horse stolen from him on the night of May
18th, and had sent a description of it to
various cities. The Chief of Police at
Petersburg who had received the descrip-
ton, got wind of the sale and arrested Wal
ker who was at banking house to get the
check cashed. Walker claimed to live in
Richmond on Sycamore street. When he
was taken to the police station letter was
found on his person signed J. G. Smith, adj
dressed to Maj. DeBarry recommending
"a. A" Walker for work. Mr.. Towber-
man was telegraphed for and went to Pc
tersburg and identified the horse
MI. Towberman then accompanied the
officers to the Jail and was astonished to
find that the man was Arch Walker who
formerly lived neighbor to him in this coun-
ty, and who married in Augusta but has
been living in Richmond for a year.
On Wednesday Nh. Towberman started
for home and with him came the Chief of
Police of Petersburg bringing Walker with
him. On getting to Richmond, the Chief
permitted Walker to go to see bis wife.
His wife begged him to confess if he was
guilty, and he confessed to the Chief that
he was. When they got on the cars he
confessed to Mr.. Towberman and gave the
history of the theft. He said he had bri-
die With him and that after taking the
horse he stole a saddle from Mr.. Charles
Palmer's. He rode all that night and
reached Richmond the next night He
went to Petersburg to sell it-because he
was known in Richmond. He said he stole
the horse because he was hard up.
On arriving in Staunton yesterday after
noon, Walker was committed by Justice
Lickliter to Jail.
His crime has brought modification and
grief to the homes of several of the most
respected families in the county, with
which he is connected.

Chamber of Commerce.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING-THE CHAMBER
PUTTING IN SOME GOOD WORK.
The monthly meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce was held last Tuesday night
There were more members present thai
usual, among them several young business
men who have lately identified themselves
with the institution. President Haines was
in the chair.
In the proceedings, two matters of chief
public Importance were considered. AT
the May meeting a committee was appoin.
ted to take into consider alton the practical
bility of securing shorter and better
wagon road across the mountain in the
Northwestern part of Augusta county ad-
joining Pendleton county, w. Va, with
the view of securing more of the wagon
trade Of that county to Staunton. Mr.. W.
w. Gibbs made report of the progress of
the committee in carrying out the in
structions of the Chamber, which was dis
cussed by several members. among them
Messrs. Jacob D. Hanger and NJ. B. Ham
rick, who have personal knowledge Of the
situation of the present highway and the
advantages to the trade of Staunton that
would ensue if road were opened upon the
short line proposed. The committee also
reported the result of an interview had with
the county authorities which was encour-
aging. The committee was continued and
will proceed further in the matter.
Mr.. James r. Taylor, submitted a
r,1oannh1o on1 1oco1nfiopc h.
loss of the piazza at the passenger station of
the Chesapeake Il Ohio Ry. in this city.
The loss of that excellent and convenient
accommodation to the public was clearly
presented and the views expressed were
unanimously concurred in by the Chamber.
The Secretary was directed to commune
cate the action of the Chamber to Mr.. NJ.
E. ingalls,, President of the Railroad Com
pany, which he has done.

The Sale OF the West Staunton Land
Company's Lots.

On Wednesday next, the West Staunton
Land Company puts the lots of their addi-
ton to the city on the market. The sale
is one of the legitimate effects of the new
condition of affairs on the suburbs. These
suburbs Of Staunton have not been built up
simply because they were inaccessible to
business men. StauntOn has had hardly a
house for rent within it's limits and men
have been paying good rents for houses in
the poorest localities, simply because they
could not do better. The street-railway
will change all this, as it does in every city.
A business man can have his home mile
OF two miles from the business centre and
with a street-railway he can in all weather
and at all times get to and from it. ThepOpu-
latiOn of StauntOn have long been struggling
to spread over their corporation line, but
were bound to their old residences by lack of
transportation. All this is changed, and
in few years the small yards of the city
where children have been cooped up will no
longer resound with their tumult-for
it will be rare thing to see family with
children living in a rented house near the
business portion of the town. 1t Is this
outward pressure that the Lewiston addi-
ton is to meet. The street-railway will be
at it's door in a few days and if the West
Staunton Land Co. takes the matter in
hand and puts up it's own electric lights and
has an artesian well, the prices that its
lots bring next week will be doubled in two
years from now. There is no better in
vestment than the outlying lots around
Staunton-it is a sure and safe bank to
deposit in, and will pay good interest by
its natural increase in value.
All parties from distance attending the
sale of the West Staunton Land Company
by way of the G. & o. road, can get tickets
at 2 cents per mile each way.
By mistake, the name of Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Robertson, General Manager of the COM
pany, is omitted in their advertisement.

from the county witnessed the ceremonies

FARMERS ALLIANCE
MEETING !!

THE FIRST PUBLIC Observation-Disclosures
| BY R. W. HARRIS-THE TROUBLES OF
| THE FARMERs-PLANs FOR THEIR RE-
| LIEF-POLITICAL ACTION, BUT NO
| THIRD PARTY-THE BUSINESS OF THE
| ALLIANCE.
&C., &C., &C.
Last Saturday afternoon, the Staunton
,, Farmers Alliance held it's first public
meeting. The occasion was to hear an
address from Mr.. R. w. Harris of Shen-
andoah, a leading member of the Alliance.
There was small audience present, aris-
ing from the fact that it had been generally
understood that the meeting would be held
in the Court House, while it was held in
the Alliance Hall, No. Is W. Main street.
This Alliance takes its name ''Staunton"
from the fact that all of its members are
farmers living Immediately around the
city, and some Of them just on the edge of
it. Among those present were Col. S. A.
East, A. III. Towberman Secretary of the
East Augusta Insurance Co., Capt. E. A.
Fulcher Supervisor of Beverley Manor
District, and other well known gentlemen
of the vicinity.
THE DEPRESSION OF AGRICULTURE.
Mr.. Harris, in opening, said that it was a
large subject-this movement to ameliorate
the condition of the farmers of the coun-
try-and in the brief space he should adj
dress them he would only have time to call
their attention to a few of the many sides |
of it. In the State of Virginia, while the
first Alliance was organized in the State
nearly two years ago, it might he said that
the subject has only been prominently be-
fore the farming community generally for
the last six or seven months. 1t had been
very difficult to get the wheels in motion.
Farmers, SO conservative, are always slow
to take up new idea and they were partic-
ularly slow to take hold of this one. The
day has passed to tell the farmers that they
must improve their condition by studying
the best methods of farming. In this
Valley, to-day, almost as much
is being produced by the farmer as it is
possible to be, by any method of farming.
