A brilliant house greeted the public's old
favorite ''Pinafore' at the Opera House

captain - D. E. Euritt, as ''Dick Dead
eye'' Miss Cora Turner, as Josephine :
Mrs. Geo. G. Jordan, as Little Butter
cup, and Miss Anna Baird, as "Hebe, y

orchestra which was also new, and which
greatly added to the effectiveness OF the
piece. 1t was fine performance with
hardly weak point in it, and deserves a

ng, which we hope to give it next week.

A Week Of Amusement at the Opera
House,

Next Monday night, the Opera House
opens for the week, with the New York
Theatre Company, at the popular prices OF
10, 20 and 30 cents. The company has a
large repertoire and changes its programmes
every night. Of the play with which the
company opens on Monday night, "Ou1
Wildcat, OF the Old Home Farm, a New
York contemporary says:
The play was a dramatic gem, entitled "Ou1
Wildcat OF the Old Home Farm written by
Harry W. belong of Cleveland, O., who
seems to have struck a chord that vibrates and
thrills old memories of boyhood and girlhood
days on the old farm in the sweet long ago. 1t
is replete with pathos and humor, giving each
member of the company ample opportunity
to display his individual histrionic talent, The
plot of the play is new, being written on the
discovery of natural gas in Ohio, and the
scenes are laid about the town of Findlay
The company is made up of people we'll
known in the profession, and is certainly a
we'll balanced organization. We refrain from
making personal mention as no one of them
are featured, and each did so we'll and all
made so palpable an impression that what we
might say would but half satisfy delighted
public. They will do the business OF the sea
son here, that is settled and filed.

MINT SPRING, Jan. 2s.-About three
weeks ago our healthful little village was

cases have since occurred, a few very bad
ones, Dr.. I. w. Gilkeson tells us.
We are sorry to announce that Mr.. Jacob
Swortzel little Jake) is critically i'll. For
several years he has been painfully afflicted
with rheumatism, in so bad form as to
draw his limbs out Of shape; his hands and
arms are drawn SO bad he cannot get them
up to his face to feed himself. Then con-
sumption set in last year, and he has been
growing worse ever since.
MI. VIM. Towberman is at home from
Washington at present, sickness preventing
him from attending to business. He will
return to the capital about Feb. first.
The farmers in this neighborhood seem
rather low spirited, owing to low prices
paid for all kinds of farm products. The
mild winter has caused but little feeding,
consequently there is no demand at all for
hay.
Some time ago the Valley R. R. gave
orders for fourteen hundred yards Of stone
to be delivered along their line between
Harrisonburg and Lexington. The farm
ers at one realized that it was ''golden
opportunity" to dispose of their rock
so there was twelve hundred yards delivered
along the Mint Spring section five miles),
the most of which was gotten out above
here.
There has been Farmers Alliance Or
gained here, but we hear but little about
it Of late. UNO.

A Good move for Metaled Roadways

Judge Stout at this term of his court
received the following communication
which he approved and referred to the
Board Of Supervisors:
Hon. J. W. Stout. Judge augusta County Court:
The undersigned commissioners of roads
respectfully represent. that when our roads
rocky lodges dressed with clay and made
smooth at the proper season, there will still
be places on nearly every road in the county
which will become deep or rough and almost
impossible in winter when farmers are
most engaged in shipping their produce to
the only plan by which they can be perma-
nently repaired and improved is macadamiZ-
ing. To do this with sledges and hammers in
the old way is too slow and costly. 1t could
be done faster, better and cheaper with a
crusher.
1t would not be economical for each farmer
to buy steam threSher for his own use eX-
clusively, for it would stand idle too long,
and for the same reason single road district
could not afford to purchase crusher. If the
County owned one and would allow the diff
erent road districts to use it, in rotation for a
month or more each year, it would not be
long until all the rough roads were made
smooth and the soft ones made solid.
We therefore respectfully ask that mount
ed road-crusher. with elevator be purchased
and paid for with county funds for the use of
each road district in rotation.

December %, 1889.
The district of Beverley Manor is not
represented in this excellent movement
only because it had anticipated it, and
some time since bought, in connection with
the City Of Staunton, stone crusher. The
plan now inaugurated by the remaining
five Road Commissioners will pay the
county hundred fold for every dollar re
quired to carry it out.
