The mill will continue grinding until the
bark Oh hand and contracted for is used up.

but us the ground belongs to the g. u o..

Likely to Prove Costly.

A piece of skylarking which is likely to
prove costly to the perpetrators, for the ar
rest of whom Miss M. j. Baldwin offers Il
reward Of 500, was perpctrated on the
premises of the Augusta Female Seminary
Thursday night. The fence was pulled
down for half Il block on the Frederick
street front OF the Seminary. 1t is Stated
that u party Of youths were seen there at
taclling ropes to the fence, and giving the
word "One, Two Three, Pull, " all dragged
together and destroyed the fence. They
then scampered off. The punishment by
law for such wanton destruction of property
as this is very severe, and the affair is likely
to go hard with its thoughtless authors il
they are detected.

What Constitutes Subscribing to Stock.

In the Circuit Court, Friday the suit of
the Berryville Land and Improvement Co.
Us. S. M. Wilkes of Staunton, to recover 3
assessments of 10 per cent. each on so
shares of stock at a par value of $100-be-
ing $500, ended with verdict fol- thepIain-
tiff. The facts were these: George G..
Maslin as agent of the Berryville Land and
Improvement Co., in the presence of P. A.
Baylor, before the prospectus of the COM
pany was out, solicited the defendant to
take some of the stock. He agreed to take
eighty shares and in his presence, and with
out his dissent, Maslin wrote his name and
the number of shares on piece of paper
containing a list of other persons who had
agreed to take it. This was on the 25th of
October, 1890. On Dec. 10th, he wrote to
the company saying that he had just seen
their prospectus and he did not want the
stock and he made no payment Of assess
ment.
Defence was 1st, that defendant had new
Ell subscribed to the stock, and I'd, that the
agent had represented that there we're to be
only three assessments called, and that his
representation to that effect was the condi-
ton on which defendant took livestock.
The jury found for the plaintiff. under
instructions from the court. The cues
ton Of how far the company could be bound
by the representation of its agent
that only three assessments would be called
for, was not passed upon by the court, the
suit only involving the payment Of three
assessments.

The Manganese Output of Augusta County

The U. S. Census bulletin on manganese,
just sent out, shows that the whole product
of the United States for The years 1889, was
% 1927 long tons, valued at S223S, $3.50 of which
1914 tons, more than one-half Of the whole
product of the country, came from the
''Crimora" mine in Augusta, and the OPEN
ing adjoining it called the ''Old Dominion
mine. The report adds:
More manganese has been taken from these
two mines, Which are practically the same
deposit, than from all the rest of the United
States, and it is probably fair to say that this
deposit has produced more than any other
mine in the world. The grade of the ore is
somewhat above the limit dividing manganese
and manganiferous iron ore, the average ship
ments for 1889 showing III per cent metallic
manganese.

STAUNToN, VA, May 2Sth
Wheat is still lower this week, and the ten
dency is, perhaps, towards even lower figures.
But it is not certain by any means. The con-
dition of the growing crop is critical and re-
ports very conflicting. The prospect has been
splendid in this section up TO this time. We
are having rather too much wet weather just
now, and the recent hail storm in parts of the
county did considerable damage. The crop OF
Mr. Henry Showalter near Cave Station, was
about destroyed and others in that section
suffered greatly.
The farmers of South River district will be
glad to know that the Patterson mill at
Waynesboro, will start up again next Mon
day. 1t has been leased by Messrs. Andrew
Bowling and NJ. Kivlighan, and will doubt
less be run to its full capacity.
The fine rain this week gives good show
for the timothy crop about which farmers
were feeling apprehensivc. There will no
doubt be an abundant harvest of all crops in

advocated by the Y. M. G. A. Debating
Society representatives, G. R. Caldwell and
John A. Alexander. The unfortunate COM
position of the communicative married
men with no future at all, and a chronic
bachelor-is thought by the girls to largely

decision rendered.
