ARE DOING THERE.
A representative of this paper made a
short visit to Buena Vista, the beautiful
view, few days since and among the many
noticeable features of the coming citycwas
struck with one thing which attracts the
notice at once of every StauntOn man who
goes there; that is the large number of
Staunton and Augusta people he meets.
Really, Staunton and Augusta enterprise
cuts no small figure in thepush and success
of the promising town. Among our citi-
zens located or doing business there, are
the following, and it is hardly probable that
our reporter got them all

head of a successful real estate firm and
the Mayor of the town; E. l. Jones, Mama
ger of the Buena Vista Building Company,
