His Sleep was Disturbed.

The Rev. S. p Watts, pastor Of a
colored church at Buchanan, this
State, jumped from the Baltimore and
st. Louis express while it was run
ming at the rate of forty miles an
hour near Washington Junction last
Thursday night. At Harper's Ferry
he had fallen asleep, and shortly was
aroused by somebody making II re-
mark about wreck. He thought
something had happened, but dis
missed the idea when he saw half
dozen passengers undisturbed. Fall
ing into nap again the word wreck
came into his mind a second time. At
Washington Junction all the passen-
gers in the coach got out while Mr..
Watts slept. Near GAINESVILLE he
began to dream. He thought he
heard some one repeat the word
wreck" and when he opened his
ewes he was startled to find the coach
empty. The thought flashed across
his mind that a collision was near at
hand and the other passengers had
run for their lives. He hurried to the
rear door, quickly PASSED out upon
the platform and leaped off into the
dark, leaving his valise and hat be-
hind. He dropped into ditch, and
toward dawn regained consciousness.
At that time he was sitting on log
near the railroad track. At first he
was dazed and unable to walk. His
ewes were so swollen that he could
hardly see. His lips were split, his
nose bruised, his arms skinned to the
elbow and his coat and trousers were
torn. He thinks he struck on his
head. When he gained sufficient
strength, he walked a mile down the
track and boarded a train at Boyd's
station and went to Baltimore.

Small Industries win Pay.

The Virginia Manufacturer, in dis
cussing the manufacturing and bust
ness interests OF the rapidly develop
ing Shenandoah Valley, says:
There is little doubt great atten-
ton to some of the small industries
would yield results but little dreamed
of at the present day. We cannot all
own large factories Some OF us must
be content with small shops. But
then there is less risk involved, and,
if good judgment is shown in the Sc
lection OF a place, a much quicker
profit is assured There are many ar
ticles in every day use that are now
made in the North which can be
made just as we'll and certainly as
cheap In the South. Tin shops, small
machine shops, establishments for the
making Of wooden-ware, to say moth
ing of shops in which what may be
termed as Injuries are manufactured
all these will pay handsomely In the
new towns. Clever men will find no
difficulty in disposing of what they
make
The above remarks are undoubted-
" true. In reaching after large In
dustries the smaller ones are often
overlooked. There are any number
of small industries that would pay
handsome profit in our Valley towns.
Brick making, pottery manufacture
mattress factories, Recommending,
wood working establishments, are
some of the things that suggest them
selves at once as profitable industries
particularly suited to this section.
We hope our people will ponder over

Five Ways to Cure a Cold.

l. Battle the feet in hot water and
take pint of hot lemonade. Then
sponge with salt water and remain in
a warm room. 2. Battle the face in
very hot water every five minutes for
an hour. 3. Snuff up the nostrils hot
salt water every three hours. 4. In
hale ammonia or menthol. 8. Take
four hours active exercise in the air.
A ten-grain dose of quinine will usual
ly break up cold in the beginning.
Any thing that will set the blood in
active circulation will do it, whether
it be drugs or the use of a bucksaw.
