NEST EGG FOR GREAT SAVING.

A NEST EGG FOR GREAT SAYINGS.
The Staunton Savings Bank has COM
menced operations. 1t will be a success
sooner than most financial enterprises,
because the ground has been preparing for
it longer. Its aim is the highest that can be
applied to the economical life of q people
to make the individual thrifty, saving and
independent. 1t is a silent and effective
teacher of thrift in the community and it's
value cannot be Over-est1mated. What its
history will be is to be inferred from the
history Of other savings banks. One i'll
Connecticut was opened thirty-eight years
ago. Its first depositor was a young me-
chanlc who put in $40 to the credit Of his
infant daughter. In that thirty-eight years it
has gathered into its vaults and paid interest
on nearly all of the wages of small wage
earners and to-day it's deposits exceed Sew
Ell Million Three Hundred Thousand Dol
lars belonging to 22,579 depositors. And
it has a surplus sufficient to make good any
possible shrinkage Of values in its assets.
In our own city the people should make it
point to press the value of a savings bank
on both wage earners and children. The
lesson of thrift taught in childhood, with
profit, as such a bank teaches it, is invalu-
able There should be many children with
Savings Bank bank books.

then existing, and while the agents Of the
road stimulated that demand by active
personal canVassin2, yet the fact remained
that the emigration was the outcome of the
peoples desire to better themselves and not
the result OF passenger agents canvassing.
There have gone from Staunton station lis
many as sixty people from Highland, Bath
and Allegheny, on one train. This emil
grafton Which was so brisk during the
years Immediately following the civil war
has OF late years dwindled to nothing. In
the last five years there have been a current
and counter current. Instead Of excursions
West, the Baltimore & Ohio and Chesapeake
Il Ohio have been advertising excursions
East, with favorable freight rates for
household furniture and belongings, to those
who anticipate making their homes in
Virginia The regular excursion trains
from the Valley to the West On the B. &
O. have long since been discontinued, and
now we learn from the HagerStOwn Mail
that the excursion train from Western
Maryland to the West, B. & O. institu-
drawn. In the Valley, the B. & O. quickly
saw the improving financial condition of
the people and instead of excursion trains
West for a people seeking home to male
bread in, substituted pleasure excursions
to Atlantic City and Washington for a
prosperous people to spend their money on.
The Chesapeake & Ohio followed suit. This
is gratifying change of condition in Viz
ginia, and our attention was particularly
called to it by the following significant
paragraph in the Baltimore Sun Of last
Saturday:
''Milton v Richards, land and immigration
agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany, was visited yesterday by German
farmer from North Dakota, who has sold out
there and is going to settle either in Western
Maryland, Virginia or West Virginia. Five
years ago the same farmer was known to MI.
Richards as one of the party who moved from
Ohio to Dakota. Some of the party have gone
further West and others have come here

B. M. DIS Road Plan.

Editor Tindicator:
l live on the second best road in Augusta
county and have for the last sixty days been
pulling through the mud from where live to
the city OF Staunton almost every day. I
have noticed the great difficulties the farmers
labor under in getting their produce to mar
ket. Now Mr.. Editor let me say to you, the
farmers may talk about the tariff Bill, the
Silver Bill, more currency for the people, OF
the Farmers Alliance-alI of which l think
every farmer should be interested in and dis
cuss, but l think the farmer is more interested
and will be more benefited by good roads than
all of the other economical measures named
above. What the farmer wants is good roads
that he may deliver his produce when the
weather is too bad to work on his farm, and
in less time.
| see an article in your last paper written
by "B. M. D." which l endorse every word
of. l am satisfied Mr.. Editor, if every farm
er-I will not cOnflne myself to the farmer
alone, but say every citizen Of the county,
could have been seen ten days ago and been
asked this question, ''Will you be willing to
be taxed five cents on each hundred dollars of
real and personal property more than you now
pay, to build macadamized roads, or to mac
adamize where 1t is necessary 2" | think the
answer would have been Yes
1t seems to me if the farmer will study his
interest and make calculation of the time
in delivering his crops. his often failure to
get the top price, and lastly the increase of
the value of his real estate by having good
roads, he must come to the conclusion that
every cent spent .judiciously on roads will
give him twenty for one.
But Mr.. Editor | know as soon as the roads
dry up we will forget the road question until
next Spring. [ think good plan would be
to amend the Constitution SO the legislature
would meet the first of March instead OF De
cember. Then think the farmers would in
struct their delegates to pass bill giving the
counties the right TO borrow money to make
or build roads B. LA

baltimore American, April 2d.l
Mr.. William II. SaXton, the Baltimore-street
jeweler, has just completed magnificent
chalice, OF communion cup, which Will short
ly be presented by Miss Caroline NJ. Crowle,
niece of the late Mrs Caroline Donovan, to
ST. Marks Catholic Church, Gainesville, of
which Rev. Father Dunn is pastor. Mrs.
Donovan was the lady who gave the Johns
Hopkins University 100000, through eX- May
or Latrobe, shortly before she died. Miss
Crowle, coming in possession of some old and
very valuable family jewels and plate former
ly belonging to Mrs. Donovan, conceived the
idea of having the chalice made from them,
and commissioned MI. SaXton to do the work.
The chalice and the small salver accompany,
ing it were made from the silver plate, and
heavily plated with the gold derived from the
setting of the precious stones, and other gold
ornaments. The diamonds, rubies and sap
phires, valued in all at some five or six hun
bred dollars, were used in the ornamentation
of the chalice alone The chalice is ten to
twelve inches high and is most beautiful
piece of workmanship. The cup is about four
inches in diameter, and above the standard is
embellished about halfway up with filigree
of vines. The standard, fOur-cornered i'll de-
sign and about eight inches i'll height, is grace
fully shaped and gradually enlarged to the
base, which is about six inches square On

President Harrison's Trip Across the
Continent.


HIS FIRST SPEECH IN VIRGINIA MADE AT RoA-
NOKE.
President Harrison with his wife and son
Russell and several other members of his fam
lily, and Postmaster General Wanamaker and
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk left Washing
ton Monday evening for the South. At Lynch
burg the early hour of the morning Tuesday,
prevented any demonstration, but at Roanoke
it was later and there was a large assemblage
at the depot and many buildings decorated
A very enthusiastic reception was gwen the
President who came out on the platform and
in answer to cries for a speech said:
The State of Virginia is entitled to high es-
timation among the States for its great histo-
ry-for the contribution it has made to the
great store OF our common country. For per-
sOnal reasons, have great affection for Vir-
ginia. 1t is the State OF my fathers. | am
glad this morning to congratulate you upon
the marvellous development which has come
and the greater which is coming to your COM
monwealth.
You not.only have an illustrious story be-
hind you, but before you prospects of devel-
opment in wealth and prosperity in all that
makes a great State such as never entered into
the imagination of those who laid the founda-
ton OF the commonwealth You are arOusing
now to realization of the benefits of diversi-
ty of industries. In the olden time Virginia
was plantation State. l hope she may never
cease to have large agricultural interests. 1t
is the foundation of stable society.
But rejoice with you that she has added to
agriculture the mning'of coal and iron, and
bringing these from their beds is producing
all the products that enter into the uses OF
life. In this is the secret of that great growth
illustrating what | see about me here and the
promise of future that none OF us can fully
realize.
In all of these things we have a common
interest and beg to assure you that in every
thing that tends to the social order of your
people and the development and increas et
prosperity Of the State of Virginia, | am in
most hearty sympathy with you all.
Large preparations have been made to re-
ceive the President and his party in the South
especially at Birmingham and other new
towns in Alabama. He will go to California
by way of the Texas Pacific and return over
the Union Pacific.

Gen. John r. Cooke who died in Rich
mond last week, deserved the unusual mill
tary honors that were paid him. He was,
so to speak, a hereditary soldier. His
father, Gen. Philip st. George Cooke, who
WAS born in Frederick county, Virginia,
about the beginning OF the century was dis
tinguished officer of the United States Army
and when the civil war came adhered to
the Union, commanding the Federal caval-
ny in the Peninsula campaign in the begin-
ming and after its close having charge of
several military departments. Opposed to
him, were the husband of his daughter, Gen.
J. E. b. Stuart, the great cavalry leader,
and his son, Brigadier General John r.
Cooke. who was born at Jefferson barracks
and had been with his father as q young
army officer in the Indian wars that pre-
ceeded the civil war. Like Gen. Stuart the
son answered the call of Virginia and re-
signed from the old army. Like the father,
the son was one of the bravest of officers
and having entered the Confederate service
as Captain soon rose to Brigadier Gener-
al. After the war he settled down to COM
mercial pursuits in Richmond and was one

THE PLAN APPROVED.

We are informed that the County ALI
ance of Augusta at it's meeting last Satur-
day unanimously endorsed the plan advoca-
ted by ''B. NJ. d. in the VINDICATOR of
Friday, for giving the county good roads.
We think that it is lecoming clearer to our
people that if we want good roads made
money must be paid fer them, and that the
old system OF forced labor OF perfunctory Ia
Dor on roads has re lily cost the people of
Augusta many thousands of lost dollars.
We hope the plan suggested by the writer
named will be carefully considered by the
taxpayers Of the county-it is the most
practical and certain in it's results that we
have seen offered.

THE TIDE SETTING TO VIRGINIA.
For many years, as our Valley readers
know, the Baltimore u Ohio Railway was
in the habit of running. at fixed intervals,
what were called excursion trains to
the West at reduced rates. Those trains at
every trip took passengers from the Valley
as far South as Botetourt, and from the
land, Bath, Allegheny. and some of the
border counties of West Virginia. They
were run in answer to popular demand

1t is very comfortable 10 be able to buy
sugar at nearly twenty-five per cent. less.
Why, do you suppose, is that reduction
made? 1t is because the tariff tax which
the Republicans have been telling you was
paid by the foreign producer, has been tax
en- off. If that is the result Of free sugar
why not have free something else? Whynot
free wool with clothing % per cent. lower.
Why not free tin with cheaper tin-Ware !?
Why not reduce tariff taxation on dry
goods, on crockeryware on hardware? If
that was done the consumer would pay less,
just as he is doing for sugar. You go into
the stores and you find almost everything
you wear OF use, higher under the Mckin-
ley bill than it was before that bill passed
Think over this matter in your homes and
determine that you will have Tariff Reform
which will give you lower tariff taxes and
with them lower prices for goods over the
merchants counters.
