Advertising staunton.

The advantages and benefits growing
out of jndic.ous and comprehensive
advertising were never better attested
than in the beautifully illustrated and
printedpamphlet issued by the Staun-
ton Development Company. The fol
lowing is a specimen of hundreds of no
tices that our exchanges contain, refers
ring to that handsome and well written
pamphlet. 1t is from the Delta, York
county, Pa, Herald. A few months ago
very few people tn the rural parts of
Penns ylvania knew that snch place as
Staunton existed. Through the enter
prise of the Development Company it is
known almost everywhere. and is att
tracing attention from all parts of the
country. The Herald says:
1--WE have received from the Staunton
Development Co., of Staunton, Va, a
very handsome pamphlet, numerously
illustrated with tinted engravings show
ing many interesting features of that
city in the Shenandoah valley. Staun-
ton is an old town historically, but in
point of business and enterprise it is now
a new born city, and a boomer at that.
1t is situated in rich mining and agri
cultural region and is railroad centre.
Mort hern capital and thrift have been
planted and numerous manufactures
have been established, giving employ
ment to hundreds of hands. Property
in and around the city has recently ad-
vanced more than 100 per cent. and the
demand continues great. We believe
Staunton has q wonderful future"

County Roads

1t il estimated by sagacious produce
dealer that there is in Augusta county,
at this time, about $25O,OOO worth of
produce, that but for the impossible
roads would have been marketed and the
money be in circulation. There is no
tangible basis from which to estimate
the loss to the farmers of the county be-
cause of the condition of the public
highways, which has practically inhibited
travel with loaded wagons for the past
four months. The produce is housed,
and necessarily must waste some, while
terest. What the farmer owes is inter-
est bearing generally and does not sleep.
Stock has to be fed, and the time lost,
which otherwise would be devoted to
hauling in corn, oats, wheit, hay, AMI
flour. The fact that the farms OF tilt
county are not accessible in such seasons
detracts from their value and discourages
purchasers from a distance from COM
ing in, and in numerous other ways OPP
crates to the disadvantage of the land
owner
1t is not necessary to elaborate the
su sges:ions which grow out of this state
of thugs. 1t will strike the ordinary
farmer that it is decidedly a losing game
with him to contend with impossible
roads at the season OF the year when his
produc. ought to be in the market. He
must recognize that bad roads depre-
ciate the value of lands; necessitate
comparative idleness for man and beast;
and deprive him of the market proba-
bly, at time when prices rule at the
highest figures.
A thorough system of county roads
ought to be commenced at once to pre-
vent all this loss, and TO make it possi-
BILE to market produce at any season Of
the year. We group the case thus
briefly, and leave it to the Judgment OF
those most directly interested to formn-
late a plan.

Railroad Notes.

The plans of the West Virginia Gems
trail & Pittshurg Railway Co. comprise a
