Virginia Green Building. Stone.

This rare and valuable building stone
is located immediately on the Norfolk
and Western railroad, within one mile
of Prospect depot, in the county of Prince
Edward and State of Virginia..

in which it is found for the past fifty
years for building purposes, tombstones
1t stands the test of time, looking as

with diamonds, making very attract

1T highly valuable. and will be much
sought after by those who wish to put
up handsome building for trimmings,
mantcls, inlaid work, &c. The prox-
unity to the railroad makes the cost of
transportation very low, costing to this
place seven cents per hundred pounds
thereby placing it on the market in fair
competition with other and cheaper
grades of stone. 1t being soft when first
quarried. makes it easily worked. which
chcapens it rs compared to other stones
When exposed, it hardcns quickly, and
will stand the pressure of any required
weight without crushing or Taking of

is found contains two hundred and

Candidates Who Are Beeom-

Splendid Record Of James C
Haynes, Candidate for
Alderman.
Why w. Il. Trip Should Go
to the Legislature This
Winter.
James @. Haynes, the Democratic
candidate for alderman from the Second
ward, against V. M. Smith, the present
incumbent, was born September %,
1S4S. near the city of Syracuse, N. 7.

He acquired an academical education
by working on his fathers farm sum-
mers and teaching school winters for
several years to pay his way.
At the age of twenty-three he began
the study of law with one of the promi-
nent law firms OF. Syracuse. After two
years with them he spent year at
Columbia college law school in New
York city, and was finally admitted to
practice in that state in the year. 1875.
He then entered upon his profession at
Syracuse. where he remained until 1879,
when he married and came to Mime
apolis, where he has ever since been
engaged iE practice. In April, 1889,
he formed law cOpartnerSlip
with Samuel 81. Chase, the firm
being known as Haynes & Chase"
MIR. Haynes belongs to the liberal and
progressive wing of the Democratic
party. and is an ardent believer in the
doctrine that true tariff reform should
reduce rather than increase taxation.
He was one of the representatives from
this state at the national convention of
democratic clubs held at Baltimore
during the last presidential campaign,
and on his return was chosen delegate
to the state convention of Democratic
clubs, when the state associa-
ton of clubs was organized, of
which he was elected president.
MIR. Haynes has always been independ-
ent in local politics. especially as to
those offices relating to the adnlinistra-
ton of municipal affairs. He takes the
position that city is chiefly business
corporation; that its officials should
consequently be selected with reference
to their business integrity and capacity,
regardless OF their political views. and
that all citizens who value the welfare
of the city more than mere partisan sue
cess should vote accordingly. He re-
ceived his nomination without any So
iicitation on his part. Mr.. Haynes has
lived eleven years in this Cit, and dur
| ing the last five has resided in the Sec
ond ward. He is familiar with the
| needs of the city at large. and especially
with those of his own ward.
