In noticing the death of Hon. H. H.

that he edited the VALLEY VIRGINIAN.

no other writer for its editorial columns.

to partake of for some time. 1t would
have done credit to any establishment,
and showed that Waynesboro is up with

The Waynesboro Times is doing a
good work for the coming city of
Waynesboro. The Importance of a live
newspaper will soon be made manifest
in the rush of visitors to Waynesboro
through the well written and intelligent
editorials of the Times. From it we
learn that real estate transactions in
that vicinity, embracing mineral and
4 building lands. have taken place, aggre-
eating over 100000. We fully agree
with our contemporary as to the future
of Waynesboro. We believe it will be a
city of large proportions in few years,
and the centre of industries not now
dreamed of by the mossbacks

We have received from the publishers,
Geo. K. Anderson & Co., the first num-
/ Der of the Clifton Forge and Iron Gate
Real Estate Review" of which 10000
copies were issued. 1t contains an inter
esting record of the towns it represents.
and from its claims and statements,
there is good prospect for an important
industrial and commercial centre at that
place. No section of the country has
greater natural advantages, and with
the enterprise that is thrown into prac-
tical projects inaugurated, it will be a
surprise and disappointment if there is
not a town of $4,000 or 10000 people at
Clifton Forge and Iron Gate within the
! next five years.
