Suit Against the Citv.

P. B. Graves, through his counsel,
Capt. Jno. N. Opie, has instituted suit
against the city for damages to his prop
erty in cutting down the street in front
of his residence on North Lewis street,
amount. $4,000. Mr. Graves is left, just
at president, on a very high bank, and
it is not comfortable. But the questions
involved are very old, and have long
since been decided in nearly every city
in the Union, and invariably in favor of
the cities. Cities have absolute control
of their streets and alleys.

nlse exhibited. beautiful samples of hard coal
from North River Gap; also fine samples iron
ore. North River Gap is rich in the finest arti-
cies or hard coal and iron. and all along the
shenandoah range coal is being found as far out
as Highland county. There is no section in Viz
glnla so rich in coal and iron as along the east
ern base of the Shenandoah mountain, the Blue
Kidge mountain Notwithstanding We invite
1he whole world to visit this section of Augusta
county The time is in sight when this section
OF our grand old county OF Augusta, will sur
prise the world in the way of mineral wealth.
why this section has been SO long without
railroad is very surprising. Our people feel the
need of railroad and they mean to use every
eTOrt to geta road We have splendid farming
country, with fine water power all along Messy
Greek. We hope the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road Company will find it to their interest to
extend their road up the Valley and through
this section further south We feel they would
make no mistake to come through our beauti-
fui and rich country, to say nothing of our
minerals. M.
