DEVELOPMENT Notes.

Everybody will be glad to know that the
Norfolk & Western Ry. which has per=
formed such great work in aiding the de-
velopment of Southwest Virginia, has come
into the county of Augusta to begin asimi-
lar work. The Basic City Development
Company, a new company, OF which the
President and nearly all those IN
terested are officers of the Norfolk & Wes-
tern Ry., has purchased for $4,000 tract
of land adjoining Basic City on the North,
and will establish several iron plants there.
The property lies on the Shenandoah Valley
branch of the Norfolk & Western.

Of the Company.

the best advertisement it has had in it's
whole history.
The Woodstock, Shenandoah, Tirginiaa,
following the march of development enter
prise, has moved to Strasburg in the same
county, where the Strasburg Land and I'm
provement Go. is enlivening things.
The development activity in and around
Harrisonburg has given real estate strong
impetus upward. Capt. F. A. Daingerfield
last week sold his late residence property
to J. A. and G. C. Switzer for $4,000, equal
to cash. A. Feuchtenberger has sold his
farm two miles from there for $4,000.

ginia than any three of the largest Virginia
cities combined-more than Richmond,
Lynchburg and Norfolk put together.

The Proposed Hospital of the Kings
Daughters.

We are informed that the King IS Daugh-
their plan for a hospital, and instead of
building-which will be done later-prorose
to rent suitable building and commence
hospital service on a limited scale.
There is little doubt that this can be done.
Indeed the recent Fest OF the Y. M. G. A.
proves that a band Of ladies intent on
pushing good cause will never be stopped
for lack OF finances.
An emergency hospital is needed in every
city of this size. Hospitals are supported
in Richmond, Norfolk. Lynchburg and
Charlottesville-the last smaller place
than btaunton-and wholly by the contribu-
tions of the charitable and by money com.
ing from those who need hospital service
and pay for it. 1t is not creditable to
Staunton, but it is a fact, that the poor
house is the only place that a stranger sud
denly needing a hospital can be taken to
But it is not alone for strangers that hos
pital is needed. Our own people-the poor
and young men without parental homes es
pecialy-need q place where there can b.
had in time Of accident OF sickness, nurs
ing and medicine and appliances for th'
sick which are not to be found in an,
home however wealthy it's owners. Their
is hardly month in the year when Staun
ton physicians are not treating patients
who come from elsewhere and are lodged il
boarding houses that are devoid of conven
fences for the sick.
The church cots established and paid TO
| by benevolent congregations in a hospital
the contributions Of the railroad companies
the donation from the city in which the
are located, the entertainments given il
behalf of them during the year, and tn
board of pay patients form fund that ha
kept these hospitals up IN other cities an
will do SO in this.
The Kings Daughters of Stanton al
maturing their plans and will i'll a shor
time present them to the public for its aid
Every man and woman should be glad t
give that aid. 1t is very grave and seri
Gus thing to refuse aid to alleviate human
suffering and a man should think a lon'
time before he refuses it.

The Little Nugget Company at the Opera
House Tonight.

The "Little Nugget Company which
appears tonight, comes with better rec
concentrations than any company that has
been here for a long time 1t is said to give
one prolonged round Of fun without d break.
1t was playing in Lynchburg some weeks
ago when the convention of Opera House
Managers of this circuit WAS in session and
every one at once booked it. Mr.. Olivier
says there is more fun in it than in any
company that is travelling. We see that
the Charlottesville Manager adyertises to
stand in the box Office and return the mon
ey to any man in the audience who feels
dissatisfied, and all the theatre goers from
Staunton who have seen it in other cities
are enthusiastic over it. The Greenville,
S. c., News speaking of the performance,
says
The fun was kept up for three solid hours.
There was no monotonous break in the round
Of fun, dancing, singing and specialties. Her
bert and Joe Cawthorn both proved that they
were comedians of no mean ability. Herbert
Cawthorn, as Barney O'Brady, is an exeep-
tional one. Miss Drucie Gilmore, as Little
Nugget assisted in the fun making and re-
ceived much applause. The singing by a male
quartette was fine and encOreS were frequent
throughout the performance.

4 Live Santa Claus.

The Christmas novelty which is setting
the school children wild, is live Santa
Claus in the window of Hart S Bazaar. FOE
several days before he appeared there, the
window was occupied by a snow scene IN
which there was represented toboggan
slide with scores Of dolls sliding down the
snow hill. This has been succeeded by a
living, flesh and blood Santa Claus in ira
ditional costume laden with presents. Many
of the little ones go in the store and tell
him what they want him to send them
Christmas. This attraction, as well the to-
boggan scene, is the conceit OF Mrs. Geo.
Levy, who is the rival OF her brother, Al
bert Hart, in conceiying windo dressing
n lYelties.

ton of public building in Staunton.
When it was sent to the Houseit was re-
ferred to the Committee on Public Build
ings. The prospects for local appropria-
ton bill getting through the House in the
short session are usually very slim, but the
Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Times writes to his paper that MI.
Tucker was assured by a majority OF
the members of the Public Buildings Com
mittee that the bill would be favorably re-
ported at once-indeed, Mr.. Tucker was
of a favorable report. The bill aoas report

improves it's chances for getting through.

The Philadelphia Record of Saturday in its
review of the grain market says: "There has

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

The labor picnic this year will be held
on Sunday at the request of a majority
of the organizations represented, as
they find it impossible to leave their
work in a body on any day during the
week.
An observant correspondent wants to
know what body ''CaSSius" represented
at the state federation, and if he is to
be a permanent representative. The
credential committee know but decline
to say anything.
The independent political movement
still hangs fire. Those who issued the
call for the next meeting decline to be
interviewed, but it is understood that
delegates will be sent to the alliance
convention next Thursday. They are
likely to go armed with deman DIS, or at
least questions, which may surprise the
alliance, if it thinks that it is the only
body seeking the earth.
Rev. G. M. Muller returns to New
York this week. He has been of great
assistance in that state in obtaining
legislation for mining and factory opera
tiveS.
The president of the trade and labor
assembly has just received letter from
Z. d. Wheeler, of Chicago, stating that
every cornice worker in the city is on
strike for eight hours. The strike is
only as last resort and after every
means has been tried to avoid it. The
| cornice workers ask that the workers of
the two cities pay no attention to adver-
tisements for men to take the place Of
the strikers. Mr.. Wheeler states that
affairs are progressing favorably, and
there is good prospect of success.
