Rev. Win. w. Houston who died sudden
ly at Talladega, Ala, was a brother of Rev.
NJ. Hale Houston, Secretary of Foreign
Missions; was a graduate of Washington
College, and was licensed by Lexington
Presbytery in 1868. During his ministry
in this section of Virginia, he was pastor of
the Warm Springs and Windy Cove
churches in Bath and also served for a
short time at New Providence. He leaves
a widow MARY E. Waddell, daughter of
the late DR.. Waddell of Lexington) and five
children. His remains were brought to
Lexington and inferred there on Thursday
last.
Dr.. Halves returned Saturday from Nc
Dowell, Highland, where he had been
preaching a series of sermons and where
there is deep religious feeling. He re-
turned to the work there this week, and in
view of the Importance of the meeting there
the session of the Second Presbyterian
church, will arrange to fill his pulpit if his
absence extends over Sunday.
The Presbytery of Western Texas, which
met at Laredo Oct. It'll, received from Lex
ington Presbytery Rev. Fl. r. Laird, late
of Thinking Spring, Augusta county, whom
it had at it's previous session elected evan
gelist. He was set apart to that work and
directed to begin his work at Beevllle,
which is now his residence.
The Broadway, Rockingham, Enterprise
says: REV. Henry EARLY of Augusta
county, preached a very interesting and in
structive sermon at the Greek Church, on
Sunday last. His illustrations were simple
and pointed; driving the truth straight
home to the hearts Of the people,
Rev. Dr.. Walter w. Moore, filling the
chair of Hebrew at the Union Theological
Seminary at Hampden Sidney, has just de-
clined the chair of Hebrew in the McCor-
mick Theological Seminary at Chicago, at
double the salary and one-half the work he
has now.
Among the clerical alumni who attend
ed the centennial celebration of st. Mary IS
Seminary in Baltimore, Wednesday, was
Rev. John McVerry, pastor of st. Francis
church.
Rev. Mr.. Shuford of st. Johns German
Reformed church, and Rev. B. S. Brown
of the Lutheran church at Churchville,
have resigned their charges.
Rev. J. r. Harrison having declined the
call extended to him by the Baptist church,
notice was given last Sunday for a church
meeting to be held next Sabbath at the
morning service to elect a pastor. We clip
the following from the Baptist:
Rev. J. R. Harrison declines the call to
Staunton. This is just as we expected, for
we hardly supposed that Glade Spring could
be moved to Staunton all at once. What
would Glade Spring be without Harrison, and
Spring? Meanwhile Staunton needs man
whose zeal and energy can equal that Of
Harrison.

INDICATOR OFFICE,

STANTON. V A., oct. 29th.
Not very much doing in grain or hay, OF
country produce of any kind this week. Elk
ception to this statement should be made as
to the products OF Highland, for this has been
week of activity in the trade from that sec
ton, including in it as it always does, buci :
wheat, butter and cheStnuts. Hay is dull and
lower to sell, because of Western hay. Wheat
is dull all around and is also lower. 1t is not
in much demand anywhere just now.
1t has been many years since Europe made
such general demand on the United States
for every kind of its grain. This season even
oats are going across the water in tremendous
quantities. For the twelve months ending
with last August, the shipment of oats from
the United States to Europe was only 539, $40
bushels. There are now under engagement
for the ports of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Newport News, thirteen steam
ers to sail next month and December, which
will take 100000 bushels, which, added to
cargoes of ships now lying in those ports
makes total of 1850, 900 bushels Of oats
shipped abroad in the remaining four months
of this year, since August.

ing committee appointed under it:
J. w. Churchman, John Christian, S. III
McCue, w. n. Wilson, G. B. Conner and
A. A. Sproul.
Mr.. Lapham said that at Grand Island
Nebraska, the railroads for % miles or less
charged 80 cents a ton,, rs to As miles 81
cents, As to 100 miles 80 cents per ton.
Judge Grattan.-Our present freight
rates would bring bee.s from the farthest
end Of the county at so cents ton when a
car load is made up.
MI. Lapham.-If they give the farmers
on beets as low rate as they do me OF
bark per carload. it will do.
Judge Grattan.-The charge from Fort
Defiance ON the Valley Ry. at present rates
would be less than so cents a ton. Ii the
rates are too high, it will be only another
incentive to our representatives in the leg
islature, EchoIs and Koiner and Williams
to vote for Railroad Commission.
On motion of Mr.. D. A. Drake, the
Chairman was instructed to appoint a COM
mittee to canvass the county, find out 40

MI. Lapham for his instructive remarks,
offered the following resolution, which was
adopted
We, citizens of Augusta. believing that
the sugar beet industry should be encouraged
and believing that this source of income would
be one of considerable profit, do most heartily
accept the offer of Mr. o. Z. Lapham as made
by him and published in the papers, and we
believe, further, that the people of this cOun-
ty should accept this industry while the OPP
portunity is presented.
MI. Churchman said he appreciated this
new, useful, and profitable avenue of indus
try opened to the county by Mr.. Lapham,
and earnestly trusted the people would Sec
ond it by giving general cooperation. We
could lose nothing, for if it did not succeed
we could easily get lack to our former
crops.
Judge Grattan suggested that some steps
be taken to ascertain definitely and accu-
rately who would plant beets, their names
and the number of acres.
THE VITAL IMPORTANCE OF GOOD RAIL
ROAD TERMS.
Capt. G. Benton Coiner of Fishersville,
expressed a deep interest in the enterprise,
but he could not tell how many acres he
would plant until he knew what the rail
road would charge him for bringing the
beets here.
Mr.. Lapham said this railroad matter
was very important one. 1t would be
impossible to carry on the business sue
cessfully unless the railroads give equal
facilities to farmers, to those given else
where.
MI. D. A. Drake wished to know how
long MI. Lapham could wait before getting
adefinite answer from the farmers
MI. Lapham.-As for time. will give
all reasonable time. If you take hold of
this as if you meant it, and as if it was a
