EDINBURG ITEMS.

BIZ. Hisey IS at this writing still quite
sick
Mrs. Sarah Z. Penn, of this place who
has been spending quite pleasant visit
of several months, with friends in Eliza
BEETHOVEN, Pa, has lately returned 10 the
Qualification of her very many frien Dis.
Our very interesting, pleasant and happy
little lady friend, Jessie Tapley, we are
sorry to chronicle, lies very sick of fever,
at the home of her good Grand Ma Saum.
Many and anxious are the inquiries chow
is Jessie :" and all hope to see her pleas
ant and smiling face upon the streets
again.
Mrs. Ella Bogar. one of Loudoun's inter
esting young daughters is paying visit
to her cousins, the family OF Rev. Robey,
deceased Ella is quite a pleasant lady,
and always finds a welcome to our town.
The social at the Roby homestead, in her
honor, given Il last Monday night, IS
demonstration of this fact, and will long
be remembered by those participating.
II. II. Yard, capitalist of the State of
- is in our midst, with the hope Of
building up some of the waste places of
Shenandoah county, and to utilize our
great mineral deposits Of wealth, OF
vhlchthere are abundance. The central or
objective point being Liberty Furnace,
with its mountains ofTich iron mines. But
to get to this point more favorable
means of transportation is necessary.
With this view il corps Of engineers have
been at work endeavoring to locate a
rail road. starting at Edinburg, and, we
learn, a route very satisfactory to the
protector has been presented, and accept
ed, provided damage claims are not too
great. 1t rests now with our own people,
those destined to be the most bene-
fitted land owners on the route, to en-
courage and gain the enterprise, and
while they live, feel they have helped to
accomplish a great good; or drive 1t
away, and let the golden opportunity
pass, and forever have the conjunction
of selt,condemnstion, we've stood in our
own light. Now don't let this be the
case. but come forward and aid IN these
enterprises in our midst. The gentleman
at the head of this move is DESTROYS, we
think, literally to compensate owners OF
the land, for the right Of way, aud re-
ceive a deed willingly given, in fact, we
are told, will have it 10 ether way -
Thus we see it will not do tC
make up our minds, "they want 1t and
must pay" extOrtionate prices. But oul
people will we think, all see it is to thel
own interest and great advantage, and
cheerlnlly accede to a just, honorable
and fair compensation, and not On
deavor to build up heavy damage
where really none or little exists, but
rather where advantages will surely anC
quickly accrue. Let us encourage, anC
once get this enterprise located ans
' others sure are soon to follow.
