A Summer Resort.

One Of the most attractive spots in the
mountains of Virginia is Iron Gate. 1t
is beautifully located on the banks OF
Jackson river, and hedged in by noun
tains on either side. The Iron Gate Inn
is one of the most completely appointed
hotels in the State, with every modern
convenience and furnished throughout
with lithia water piped from a bold
spring few hundred yards from the
house. The water of this spring is par
ticularly adapted to the cure of kidney
and liver trouble and serves admirably
as an Alternative. There are also several
chalybeate springs on the premises,
which give an unusual variety of min
eral waters. Altogether Iron Gate is a
delightful summer resort, and we have
no doubt, the hotel will be filled to its
capacity during the season.

a Good Showing.

At meeting Of the Board of Directors
of the Clifton Forge Banking and Con
struction Company, held last week, a
resolution was passed declaring divi-
dend of 5 per cent. payable September
list, on the stock which is full paid by
August LIST. The property of the Com
pany is all paid for, and the contracts of
the Company are well advanced.
The company did not actually go into
operation until Decem Der, and III view
of the severe winter, which was followed
by a money stringency, this showing is
remarkably good one, and should
prove entirely satisfactory to the stocks
holders as the result of the first few
months work under very adverse cir~
cumstances.

We are much gfatified TO learn that
our esteemed young friend, Cadet Law
renee w H. peyton, Y. II. l., has taken
the first stand IN his class and been adj
vanced from Company "CH to Company
.B, and promoted TO be LIST. Or ORDERLY
Sergeant. Cadet p. developed at the
Staunton Military Academy, of Capt. ka-
Bile, such talents and energy that he rose
to the head of the School, bearing Off the
the Gold Medal for highest scholarship
and inspiring in his teachers and fellows
by his open and honorable conduct, the
utmost confidence in his honor and integ-
rity. The sanguine hopes expressed OF
him and his future, at the time, III a let
ter from Capt kable to his father, have
been up to this time fully realized. At
the V. M. l. final examination, June 25th,
he was distinguished in every class, Out
that of Latin, near the head of which he
stood. to which he belonged, and was
not more remarkable for his scholastic
acouirements than for his exemplary de-
pertinent as an officer and student, not
having received single demerit during
the session. He comes from good stock,
being son of Col J L. Peyton, author
of .'1Ae History Of augusta County"
.sI'he american Crisis" &C., and grand
son of the celebrated lawyer, John H..
Peyton, who is still remembered in Allie
ghany county. where he owned at his
death in 1S47, over 5000 acres of land In
these times when, as q rule. sons differ SO
much from their fathers, and so much
degeneracy is observed in the represen>
tatiyes of once famous men, it is most in
teresting to note such a marked case OF
hereditary talent as is presented in three
generations of the Peyton family.

More Thieving.

Sunday night some thief broke into
Meyers & Kabeisky's clothing store and
stole coat and an umbrella Entrance
was effected by breaking large 3-Sths
French plate glass, sxl2 feet, III the dis
play window which cost fully $50. The
hole was large enough for d man to en-
ter but for the ragged edges of the glass,
which would have rendered entrance
dangerous. To enter was the intention,
no doubt, but the breaking of the glass
aroused Mrs. Jordan, a widow lady liy>
ing nearly opposite in the Griffith build
ing, who rushed to the window of her
room and fired three shots, which I'M
doubtedly frustrated this plan.
The firm only loses the articles taken,
as the glass was insured.
