New Railroads.

Last week we learned from a reliable
source a number of gentlemen met in
Baltimore and outlined plan and pro-
vided the means to build railroad from
Covington up Potts creek in Allegheny
county, and finally on to a connection
with the Norfolk and Western, thus
connecting directly with the Pocahontas
coal fields. This, it is stated, is to be an
extension of the Camden system in West
Virginia, by which it is proposed to con
meet Pittsburg with Southwest Virginia.
Some of the parties enlisted in the
scheme own large bodies of iron ore lind
on Potts creek. They would thus u. ing
within reach the Goals and coke of New
River and of Pocahontas, and open sites
and advantages for the erection of far
naces to utilize the iron ore near the
mines.
Further, we understand that the rail

We know what every one is thinking about
these Xmas times. What to get and where
to get it is the puzzle. So here we have it.
We've thought it all over long before you rea-
lized the fact that the time is upon you to
make your selections for your Christmas pre-
sents. So we have prepared ourselves for the
seasons trade by making special trip to the
northern markets in order to secure the nov
elites which cannot be had any other way, and
we've get EN- and worse than we ever had
them before. The truth of the business is we
think of what we are doing. We never wait
until the season is over and then "cry over
split milk" The only way to sell goods is to
carry the stock and let the people know that
we are in business to do business. Some mer-
chants have said we were foolish to make two
trips to the market in one season, but we can't
be satisfied to rest in easy chairs and talk pol
itics, &C., and let Our business run itself. No,
those good old days" have past and we can't
be satisfied to rest at home when we know
that the markets are crowded with values
which we should be showing to our trade
we're never caught mapping" But oh my!
what stock we did buy. Some for the DID,
and some for the young, the truth of the bust
ness is we have little Of every thing and for
every one.

IN AUGUSTA CO., VA.

YTNHE undersigned, as administrator with the

and i'm pursuance of a decree of the Circuit Court
of Augusta county, Virginia, in the cause Of
Cyrus Koiner's admir- VS.. Cyrus Koiners widow
and ais. rendered December 9Th, 1890, will offer
at public auction, in front of the dwelling house
on the home farm Of the late Cyrus Koiner, de-
ceased, near Fishersvilie, Augusta CO., Va,
on Saturday, January 10th, 1891,
that very desirable farm known as the Marshall
Farm, containing about Isl acres, directed by

the present park, and by selling from the
present park portions Oh which dwell
lngs would not be likely to affect the
springs.
Finally, the city should buy the fair
grounds because there are no objections
to offset the seven or more weighty facts
that favor the purchase. The $4,000
can be spared, without increase of taxa
ton, without unwise increase of indebt-
edness, and without drawing too heavily
upon reserves or upon funds used for
current expenses. 1t would be not only
short sighted, but also dangerous if not
suicidal for the city government to re-
fuse on grounds of so-called economy,
to help forward or to take part in move
ments for utilizing the present unparal-
leled opportunities for charging and en-
riching Staunton. Other cities, includ-
ing the most prosperous and successful,
make direct appropriations OF money to
secure what will benefit, even Temporal
rily, their citizens in general. Staunton
is simply asked to take necessary care OF
its water, to provide pleasure park.
and thus to hold the fair that it has,
Among the first and commonest duties
of municipal government are to turn
ish water and to maintain public parks.
The city government of Staunton will
certainly not fail or hesitate in perform
ing its simplest functions when such
failure or hesitation would seriously OBJ
struct all efforts made by private corpor-
ations and individuals for the advance
ment of the city's interests. Manufac-
turers and capitalists can select from
progressive cities all over the country,
willing to do anything allowable for the
public good. Liberality from the city
of Staunton would be in order under
present circumstances, if not under 9TH
ers But only close and sure bargain
is proposed, one fixed by persons having
an individual interest in the city's well
fare.
In view of the evident fairness and
| merit of the Associations proposition, 1t
would be unjust to the Councilmen to
doubt their intention of accepting it.
They are intelligent business men, who
understand the needs and desires of their
constituency, and they will not be found
wanting in deciding wisely this matter
of buying the fair grounds and other
questions of public Importance.

We have recently met with a number
of intelligent gentlemen from the North
and West, who came here to see what
was going on and diagnose the ''booms,'
as they are called. Every one of them
predicted great future for the State,
as they were astounded at what they
saw and learned of the boundless re-
sources of the State. And yet they did
not see or learn the tenth of what really
exists. If their wonder was excited over
what they did see, their amazement
would have no bounds could they tread
our mountains and get q personal
knowledge of the immense riches that
are locked up there. Each day is
bringing to light new wealth, and it.
will not be long before millions of money
will come in to develop and utilize it.
Three millions in gold are coming
from London to America. The finan-
eial condition in London is easy, and
the gold shipments and the reports from
business circles across the waters had a
healthy effect in New York. The condi-
ton on Friday was assuring, although
there were several failures there and in
Boston.

The Farmers.


As we have stated before, the farmers
of this country have a grievance, and a
great one. They are in part to blame
themselves that their interests have not
commanded more attention from par
ties and legislatures. They have stood
aside in silence and permitted selfish
politicians to rule States and govern
ments, and in the name of party allowed
themselves to be made the tools of I'M
scrupulous demagogues, who care moth
ing for them or anything, or anybody
else, than the furtherance of their own
selfish ends. The Farmers Alliance
seems to have been organized to right
this wrong The members of it pro-
nose to take a part in the direction of
State and national legislation, and to
disregard the appeals of both of the old
narties. This is their Ostensible posi-
fion. But we fear from the proceedings
of the conference at Ocala, Fla, that
thew are Welding to the influence of
the Democratic leaders. and coloring
their resolutions and action to appease
that party, rather than to strike out
boldly for themselves, regardless OF the
fate of either or both of the old parties.
The farmers of the nation ought to be
able to organize party of their own, if
they cannot get justice from existing
parties; but if they yield to Democratic
Establishments and promises, they will
utterly fail of their legitimate objects:
It remains to be seen whether they will
prove equal to the emergency-whether
thev can safely steer a great party, and
show to the word that while they can
make the wealth of the nation, they can
also leQislate to conserve it.
