BASIC CITY, VA,
April q, 1890.
DEAR EDIroR-Any facts bearing upon the
progress of the South, am sure, are always
sought after by your readers, especially Is
this the case when such progress is going on
almost In your midst. 1 have been operat.
ing at several of the building towns IN the
valley of Virginia during the past year, and
/ feel that am well informed in regard to
their location and advantages. AT present
am located at Basic City, the crossing OF the
Shenandoah Valley (N.& W. and Chesapeake
& Ohio Railways. No one can stay here as
have done and not feel a deep interest in
everything that is happening.
The location Of the town is all that could
be desired. The scenery is certainly beauti-
full, the atmosphere invigorating and the
water as pure and clear as If it had been
thro' process OF distillation. This would he
a choice place for an ice factory, for its pro-
ducts would be in demand at any price; there
is some talk of one being located here. you
buy the manufactured cheaper than you can
gather and house the natural Ice.
No better farming country is known lex
cepting old JefIersonC the farm houses are
well built and comfortable, the lands are pro-
ductive and the farmers are more thrifty
than anywhere in the Valley. In no State are
so few mortgages held on farms as III Vir-
ginia, and in no section are so few held as in
this Valley.
This seems to be the home of schools and
colleges. In Augusta county there are no
less than fifteen colleges. academies and
seminaries OF high grade and reputation.
Churches are on almost every hill top, the
people are strictly church going people,
and they use every effort 10 increase their
educational facilities; as a consequence you
find here high moral social standing and
unusual intelligence.
Basic City is only three months old, but 1t
is the favorite OF every one who comes this
way; the site is SO attractive, and The pro-
gress so great that every visitor is made its
friend at once. Ground has been broken for
the elegant new hotel, the furnace and
other buildings. In few days work will be-
gin on the car shops, belt line railroad and
the iron bridge over the South branch OF the
Shenandoah; in addition to the above, many
lesser industrial plants have been secured.
An eight column weekly paper, "The Basic
City Advance" ]. II. Lindsay, editor, is
ready 10 enlighteu the people. Stock has
never sold for ess than par and is now sell
Ing al a premium.
The lot sale will take place May 9TH, Sth
and 9Th. This is the place and early is the
time to buy. Thro' DR.. Steven Hansberger's
influence several factories have been located
here. When you wish TO purchase lots or have
other business attended to write or call on
him. Not 10 weary you, l will be brief with
the wish to give you other letters later on.
Regards To my many old friends.
Respectfully, b. K.

They Were Great Egg Eaters.

There was great egg-eating con-
test in one of the uptown New York
saloons Saturday night, the contest
ants being thirteen members of the
twenty-second assembly district, who
enjoy a high reputation for eating
eggs, and a delegation from Temp
kinsville, who had been in training
for the event. The purse was $50 to
the man who would eat the largest
number of hard boiled eggs in half
an hour. TIE conditions of the
match were very strict. Every man
was to peel his own eggs. Pepper
sauce, Wooster street sauce, red pep
per and pepsin were barred Neither
spirituous beverages nor water al
lowed. Every contestant could have
an abundance of salt. Six hundred
fresh New Jersey eggs had been Sc
cured and boiled in a giant kettle for
three solid hours. When they were
taken out every egg was as hard as a
railway eating house sandwich.
Time was called at exactly 1l.30, and
for half an hour the contest was Wig
orously conducted. When the mid
night bell struck it was found that
James DALEY, the captain of the
Tomkinsvillec crowd, had jacketed and
eaten fortyfour eggs, and was award
ed the S25. Another of the same
crowd had eaten forty eggs, and none
of the Tompkinsville party fell under
thirty-four eggs. The New York
crowd made poor showing, only
five of them reaching thirty eggs.
One of the New Yorh ers was doing
very well until he came to his nine
teenth egg. He found that he
cou dn't bite it. 1t would not show
sporting blood to confess that the
egg was boiled too hard for him, so
he struggled with the egg for five min
utes without making the slightest i'm
preston on it. Subsequent exami-
nation showed that the egg was
porcelain one. Some rogue had slip
ped it into the pan with the Jersey
eggs.

CONGRESSMAN WILSON, who recent

lustration Of the truth of his state
ment he says that professor at Har
ward told him that of the present fifty
three professors there, fifty were tariff
reformers.

law and evidence aside and grant the
pensions anyhow. He is antagonistic

them. They went to look at the pur-

fell dead on the side walk.

WITTY Congressman Allen made a
bright speech in the House on Tues

raked the Republicans for their in
consistences and failures to keep cam
paign promises. In showing what

administration, Mr.. Allen said that
when he asked one what his private
opinion was the following reply was
made:
"wanny runs the Sunday school,
Levi runs the bar;
Baby runs the White House,
And, damn 1t, here we are"

SOME of the newspapers of this
State are discussing the need of a
board OF pardons in West Virginia
We believe such an institution, mod
eled after that of Pennsylvania, for
instance, would be well worth its
cost. 1t would relieve the Governor
OF a most unpleasant feature of his
Office, and at the same time applica-
tioDs for pardons could always be
decided upon their merits. By all
means let us have a board of par
dons.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-That the New York
Central management is Tot yet out of the
woods in regard to the strike of its en-
ployes seems without question, notwith-
standing the hopeful-indeed confident
tone of the reports from railway head
quarters. The men seem to have adopted
sort of guerrilla warfare. As soon as
the management sees light on one section
of the road, diversion is made on an
other or on connecting lines. This was
the case Saturday at Buffalo. The switch
men in the Central yards there strack. A
crew of West Shore men was ordered to
take their places, and refused. Superin-
tendent Burrows insisted, and the men
quit. The men on lines outside the Cen
trail system are just enough in sympathy
with the strikers to impress their employ
srs with the idea that if the latter handle
Central freight" they will strike; so the
Central is practically boycotted. There
was an awful tangle in the freight yards
at Buffalo Saturday and yesterday, and
no apparent prospect of getting it I'M
