Manager Jacques has been fortunate in securing such an attraction for next Friday evening as the phenomenally successful comedy 'Niobe," which is the joint work of Harry and Edward Paul ton. the authors of the libretto of 'Er- mimic" Abbott & Teal wish it to be distinctly understood that "Niobe" is not farce comedy of the prevailing style-there are not any musical num- bers, topical songs" or "specialties" in this comedy. Care has been taken in the selection of the players who will ap- pear in "Niobe' and amongst their number are several people we'll and favOrably known to the theatre going public, a prime favorite being Eleanor Carey, who has one of the principal roles.
 Sacred Heart Fair.
 The great and very exciting tug-of- war contest between Roger Brothers and the West Brass mill teams drew another large crowd to City hall last night. The first pull was won by quar- ter of an inch, and the second being a draw, the contestants will pull again during the fair. The teams are pretty evenly matched. Goldsmith and Master Cluney did a very creditable act, and the school children contributed theil share of the programme. To night, the new and pleasing operetta "Good Lucien Wolff.

Sound Talk.
Amherst New Era, Sept. 24th


For some time past there has been no little
speculation as to the result in making the
nomination for the House of Delegates in the
ranks of the Alliance and Democratic party
in Augusta county, as it was believed by some
that on account OF some little differences in
local affairs the Alliance might act in
dependently of the Democratic party in that
county. But thanks to kind Providence
such was not the case. On Monday, the 18th,
the Alliance went into the Convention of the
Democratic party in Augusta and nominated
its choice Which was the right way to do the
thing. We congratulate our Alliance brethren
of old Augusta on their example. They not
only did the right thing, but did it in the proper
manner. BY the way, the nominees are rep
resentative men, men OF intelligence, and AL
lance men heart and soul We met Mr..
Koiner at the State Alliance in Richmond
and he will no doubt represent his county in
the legislature with credit and efficiency. But
the point we wish to make is the part that our
Representative in Congress took in this Con-
vention. Harry Tucker was not a delegate
and while the various committees were alb
sent preparing their reports. he was called
upon to make a speech. AS usual he did it
nicely and spoke to the point. We always
thought his head was level and now we know
it. We have said before and we repeat it that
the tenth Congressional District of Virginia
has a representative she should be proud of,
for he is a conservative and representative
man in every sense Of the term. His speech
is full of good advice and we publish it spec
tally for the benefit of our county, as we are
now having little family fight in the Demo-
cratic party, for the purpose of ascertaining
who will be its nominee. To the Alliance
and to the Democrats of Amherst, we repeat
with special emphasis a certain sentence Mr..
Tucker used which is as follows "The eyes
of Virginia and the country are upon you and
you should do all for the best interests of the
Democratic party" and we add for the AL
lance Fellow citizens of Amherst, read his
remarks, read them twice and commit to men,
DRY and repeat them to your neighbors.

THE BUZZ OF THE BOOMING.


If there is anybody that thinks the boom
has ceased in Virginia, he should travel
around in the new towns for day OF two.
The only change is that the sound of the
voice of the lot auctioneer has given way to
the buzz of machinery. Let him make
Staunton his starting point and after driv-
ing around to the great Bodley wagon
works, the largest in the South, and inspect
ing the Kroder brass works and the mantel
works, let him start East. At Basic City
the factories are turning out school desks
for Hayti, cards and card boards for all
markets, roller-mill machinery for Califor-
mia, carriages. matches, bricks and cigars
for every State South, and Car stock for the
West. At Shendun the factories are turn
ing out plumbers supplies for the World S
Fair and are months behind with their OF
ders; sending bricks and drain pipes every
where and shipping building material to
all points in reach At Waynesboro they
are making stoves, furniture and SO forth.
At Buena Vista they are manufacturing
glass, iron bridges, bricks, and mining and
shipping tons of pig iron daily. At Buc-
hanan, the brass works burned two weeks
ago, are nearly up and ready to work again.
At Goshen they are manufacturing and
shipping wood work and the furnace is
turning out tons of pig iron daily. At Iron
Gate they are manufacturing bars, spikes
and nails and building a furnace. At Clifton
Forge the largest railroad works in the
South, erected by the G. & O., are operating.
All this just In this little segment of Vir-
ginia which you can get around to in forty
eight hours, and see for yourself what is
going on. And all this going on in what
were corn fields a year ago and-eXcept
Waynesboro and Staunton-no town neal
those fields. Does any man who has had
any business experience doubt for moment
that this whir of machinery and these
thousands Of muscular arms at work, are
not improving the value of the property
surrounding them. THIS is the solid boom
of Virginia. The man who sets at home
and doesn't get around to the new towns in
this quarter of Virginia to see what is going
on, is the only man who falls into the error
that the Virginia boom is ended. We
haven t named the thousands of substan-
tial houses erected in these towns in our
catalogue, because houses alone cam make
town. We have named the hives of the
workingmen. These when thronged with
workmen mean life and progress, and these
are what we can show in this section daily.
No country IN the World has been so ran
idly aud so substantially Developed in the
same length of time as THIS quarter of
Virginia. If you have any doubts about
this picture, just buy your railroad ticket
and spend forty eight hours in going around
to these towns. You will see more thai
we have told you, for we have doubtless
omitted many of the industries in this has
ty screed.

Which the water guShed out in a great cold
flood, from not merely three, but dozen
springs, falling into the river in volume
equal to a large creek; while narrow level
shelf of tree-shaded turf lay along the foot
OF the bluff between 1T and the river on
which the tented canoes were placed in a
line one after the other, with the river flow

hard for them to comprehend how any
three men of reasonably sound minds could

ways in order as to the real object OF our

a Sugges tion.
Eater ! bndlcGt0T:'

Eaiof T5nd5c5t0T:
In view of the activity in city real estate al
most certain to ensue in the near future, will
you kindly allow space in your columns for a
word of suggestion? 1t will hardly be diSpu-
ted that one of the least expensive, and at the
same time one of the most effective means of
advertising Il town, is through the instrument
talitv OF d corps of active real estate agents
No PLACE that takes up its position in the
march OF progress can afford to dispense with
the valuable assistance of this class of work
crs. No place that is distinguished by the
absence of such an element is likely to become
conspicuous for progress and growth. This
being so, it would seem to be the part of wis
dom for those who contemplate selling or
buying to conduct their operations through
the instrumentality Of a class of men who
make the business speciality. In making
this suggestion we do not ask for any favor
which is not freely granted to those who are
engaged in other branches of business. The
! ''mddle' man is universally recognized as a
potent factor in all departments OF commerce,
and il there is no good reason why a man
should be his own doctor or his own lawyer,
there is no reason in the nature OF tie case,
why he should be his own agent in the sale
or purchase of real estate. There is far more
chance of fairness in such transactions where
tie bargain and sale is conducted by a third
party WHO asks bgt moderate and fixed rate
per cent in consideration for his trouble. IN
Stances might be cited where sellers have
failed to realize the full value of their hold.
inos when making their sales indiyjdualjy
Ii may be said that where selling is done
through an agent, the purchaser is liable to
become the victim o. eAtorton. But the same
objection may be brought against the trapsac.
t;on of any business what oeVer through, ihe
hands of a third party. The obvious Solution
of the difficulty lies in the fact of competition
and in the Influence of supply and demand
