There is more c1tarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local RENE dies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catsrrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires q constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., To

Mr.. Stanley entered the Abbey at $50.
He walked erect, showing no signs of his

man, Mr.. Myers, brother-in-law of Miss
Tenant, and DR.. Park, A. IL. Jepson,

her brother, Charles Coombe Tenant, en-.
tered the Abbey and while moving towards
the altar the bride stopped, broke the line
of procession and walked slowly to the
tablet under which lies the dust of Living
stone and placed thereon wreath of white
flowers in the centre of which was scarlet
letter L. Then resuming her place she
walked to the altar with head erect and
flushed checks. Mr.. Stanley rose to re-
ceive her and both took their places at the

he repeated the service, but Miss Tenants
was clear and only faltered as she repeated
the words sin sickness and health"
After the service the party proceeded to
the residence of the brides mother, in
Richmond Terrace, where reception was
held in two large marques, which were

mesa and contemplate spirit which en-
deavors to make political capital out of the
misfortunes of people and preys upon
their necessities, that would not hesitate to
precipitate race conflict, that would vel
come turbulence, that would revive preju.
dices and unpleasant memories almost for
gotten, that would humiliate the pride and
assassinate thu character of public men and
defamea whole people with unjust and con-
slant accusations of disloyalty-such spirit
is unworthy the countenance of honest men

engenders is not honorable political conten-

The Cumberland Valley Road.
rRonhhridOa News

The Staunton Spectator has had recently
two long and interesting editorials upon the
subject of the extension of this road south.
ward through the Valley. The ultimate
point of the road as far as the public is now
informed, is Winchester, to which it is now
completed. But no one believes that is to
be the END of it. Whether it is to follow
the Valley up or to leave it al Winchester
we have no means of knowing, but this we
do know that on through the Valley skirt
ing the Allegheny from Winchester south,
there lies one of the finest unoccupied routes
In the country for q great through line and
a profitable local road.
The Shenandoah road hugs the Blue
Ridge closely on the East, while the Valley
road keeps near to it on the same side, leav-
ing unoccupied the centre. and the West
aide of the Valley from Winchester south.
Besides the direct connections with the sys-
TENS of roads South and West, which it
would be enabled to make, it would pass
through one of the richest regions of the
country. All along the Valley side of the
range Of the North Mountain are deposits OF
section of the country, Then 1t is aslo
one of the best agricultural regions Of the
State. It is the best agricultural section OF
the Valley. Its geological formation isllime
stone, and wherever handful of soil can
be found, even to the top of the mountain,
it is productive. All along the West pied.
montana sections of Augusta and Rock
bridge, the finest quality Of wheat and 9th
er cereals are produced. As grass region
it is not excelled in the country. Minerals
crop out not only on the mountain sides but
down in the Valley. Here is a splendid
virgin region waiting to be occupied.
Look what the Shenandoah road has done
for the East side of the Valley. Look at
the local tradd its existence has been the
means Of developing. Here parallel with
it, twenty miles distant, is section incom.
parably richer in many respects, and it re.
mains undeveloped and unnoticed. With
out railroad development it must 80 remain
As to the through traffic the success Of the
Shenandoah route in this respect, has been
simply marvellous. What is afforded to
the one great route North and South
through this Valley will be with proper
connections gained with equal readiness by
other routes; by the Baltimore and Ohio in
the centre of the Valley, when it reaches
southwark; by the Cumberland Valley,
should it occupy the Western side. For
aloug the great Valley of Virginia lies the
highway nature has made for the inter.
change of commerce between the two great
sections of the country. In the days oil
wheeled vehicles it was so recognized by
the passenger travel through this section.
What the Shenandoah is doing in this d.
rection now is but significant of what car
be done and will be done By it and othe,
routes in the future. A future full CT PROM
