is able to properly support its pastor. A
large number of the people have gone to
the new towns, and the property of the
weather. men is occupied by tenants,
who are neither able nor disposed to con-
tribute much to such causes. The result
is that not only churches but all local OBJ
jects of the country neighborhoods are
suffering from the same cause.
Shenandoah Valley: Last Sunday,
while Master Luther. son of Mr.. Michael
thomas, of near this place, was riding a
colt. accompanied by his two brothers, he
met with serious mishsp. The colt slip
ped on bridge at gate on the farm of
Mr.. NJ. white Williamson, on Valley turn
pike, and fell, catching the boys leg un-
der its side, and breaking it between the
left knee and the hip. The brothers
mounted him on one of their horses,-the
one leading the horse and the other sup
porting the fractured limb.
Whilst hauling wood, in the Massa-
nutten mountain, several miles east Of
this place, for Messrs. Thomas and Sam1
Shirley, on Tuesday evening, Dole Odus,
aged Is, son of Mr.. Perry Schaeffer, met
with an accident. In attempting to check
the wheel of the wagon, he struck root
or stamp, throwing him under the wheel,
which passed over his shoulder, breaking
his collar bone.
The wagon was heavily loaded with
wood, and the boys escape without
greater injury was wonderful.
Stanton Talley VirginiGn Messrs
williams & Gray, real estate brokers OF
this city, have been indicted by the grand
jury for carrying on their business with
out state license at Basic City. They
took out a state license and a city
license to conduct their business
having their Office in Stanton
They claim that under section 81 of the
tax laws they have right to sell land
any,rhere in the state, entrusted to them
for sale, without having to pay any ad'
ditional state license. The commissioner
of the revenue holds that at every point
in the state where they may operate as
brokers they will have to take out IL
cense. This is the issue, and it will
probably be carried to the Court of APP
peals as a test case. 1t is serious issue
to the real estate broker operating at the
various points between Roanoke and
Berryville if he has to pay $50 for every
point at which he operates. 1t is not to
be pr esumed that there is any Intentional
violation of revenue law on the part OF
Messrs. Williams L Graz, but that they
stand upon what they consider their
legal rights, having been advised that
they we're not liable to an additional tax.

word climatic"
