Candidates Nominated.

A meeting of the citizens of Clifton
Forge was held at the opera house on
Monday night for the purpose of nomi-
mating a candidate Tor candidates, for
there seemed to be a general disposition
on the part of number present to NOM
mate two) for the office of mayor of Cliff
ton Forge, in place of Judge Swami, who
declined, and one candidate for the coun>
Gil, instead of Mr.. Pendleton, who has
declined-at least this was the object as
developed by the result of the meeting.
Mr. Joseph Bryant called the meeting
to order. Mr.. W. G. Hamilton was elected
chairman and w. w. Brenaman was
chosen as secretary.
The object of the meeting then came
up, when some one said it was to nOmi-
nate a mayor and members OF the
Council. On account of the fact that
a ticket had been named at a previous
meeting this created dissatisfaction
which was allayed by a>motion from Mr..
Jones to proceed to the nomination OF
a candidate, or candidates. for mayor,
first. Messrs. T. P. Bowles, Thomas J.
Hyde and w. A. Young were nominated
and balloted for, after which. and before
the votes were counted, the question as
to the number OF candidates to be nom.
mated came up. A motion to drop the
lowest candidate and then take a second
ballot on the remaining two candidates,
being carried. seemed to dispose of this
question. On the first ballot the vote
stood: Mr. Bowles, 80: Capt. Young, 10;
Mr.. Hyde, is. Capt. Young was dropped
and the second ballot resulted: Bowles
26 and Hyde, %.
Mr.. r. r. Tribbett was then nominated
unanimously for the vacant council cans
didacy. The subject of nominating
candidate for constable was introduced,
but that being a district Office, it was
decided merely to recommend candi-
date. Two names were suggested, and
Mr. w. J. Hickman was recommended
by a vote of % to 19 for Mr.. W. III.
Strough.

John RoBINsoN's GREAT WORLDS
EXPOSITION.
arhe Half Has Not Been Told Me-

"The Half Has Not Been Told Me-"
The memorable expression of the Queen of
sheba on viewing the pomp and glories of King
Solomon's court, can with verify be used In
speaking of the transcendant splendors of the
gorgeous biblical spectacle, Solomon, his Tenn
ple and the Queen of Sheba, which the manage
ment Of the Robinson show produce this year
on scale of unexampled magnitude and SPLEEN
dor. No spectacle ever presented to the public
can vie with it in rich sceneographic effect; In
faithful and characteristic portraitures of the
people, manners and customs during the reign
OF Israers wisest king in pomp, In pageantry
and in parade; in sacred sacriicial offerings; In
lovely women; in enchanting ballots; in flercely
contested and exciting chariot races, and In the
luxurious opulence of its costuming and ap-
pointments. Taken from the grandest scenes
of the patriarchal era. it can not only interest
the biblical scholar, but the moral. the cultured
and the refined. seeking after intellectual and
mind improving entertainments. will find in this
an exhibition well worthy their attention. Let
it be understood, however that this desirable
augmentation is but one Of the multitude of at
fractions to which the Robinson show invites
the patronage of the public. Their circus has
long been characterized as the most inviting
it's unexceptional features and in the general
excellence and proficiency of it's ring perform
ances of any travelling, while their menagerie is
large and comprehensive, and includes living
specimens Of the rarest beasts, birds. reptiles
and amphibia. Their colossal Roman hippo
drome is in itself a feature that has no duplica-
ton, and carries the spectator back to imperial
Caesars days. In mentioning the enjoyment,
surprises and delights of this peerless exhibition
it must not be forgotten to mention that for the
special delectation of juvenile patrons the ever
delightful and mirth- provoking pantomine of
Humpty- Dumpty, his Fortunes, Misfortunes and
Mishaps, will find prominent place on the pro
gramme. The show will exhibit at Clifton
Forge Friday, May 18th.

Dedication of ST. Joseph's Church.

st. Joseph's Catholic Church of this
place was dedicated on Sunday last,
Right Reverend Bishop Vandeviver,
Bishop OF the Diocese of Virginia, as
sisted by Father Singer of Charleston,
Father Duffy of Greenbrier, Father
McGirk of Lynchburg, and Father Kelly
of this place, officiating The conservation
proper, the sprinkling of the outer walls
with holy water, was conducted by
Bishop Vandeviver. An able dedica-
tory discourse was delivered by Father
Singer, whose theme was King Solo
mons Temple, whose material splendor
and magniticence were contrasted with
the beautiful spiritual qualities of the
church of today.-the yielding of the
former to the latter. His discourse was
both able and frequently eloquent. The
excellent music for the occasion was
furnished by Lynchbnrg choir, in
which there were a couple OF very fine
voices.
The attendance was large, the church
being filled to overlooking, and was
composed of town people and large
number from other parishes. The ex-
cursion which came from Staunton for
this occasion, numbered about two hun
dred and fifty persons.
The church was organized and first let
to contract August 18th last, but the
main portion of the work has been done
since the first Of April. The edifice is
plain, but neat and commodious one,
and is situated on Jefferson street on an
eminence commanding fine view. The
interior arrangement, the auditorium
and affairs, are such as usually obtain in
their churches The emblems are the
Sacred Heart of Christ in rear of the
chancel, of ST. Joseph, the patron Saint
named, to the right, and the Virgin
Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the left.
The church is credit to the town and
the energy and zeal of its members who
have accomplished its building under
rather adverse circumstances.

Explanatory.

THE VIRGINIAN is not up to the stan
dard this week, which will be establish
ed for it. The confusion of moving, of
adjusting the presses, and arranging the
Office generally, have greatly interfered
with work on the paper. Then the rush
upon our advertising columns has been so
great from friends who want their wares
and business to be represented in the
first issue at Clifton Forge, but limited
space is left us for editorial work. Were
it not that we have not as yet arranged
the power for working the presses effect
lively, we would have issued a supple
nent, but this we could not do as our
presses had to be run by hand power. in~
stead of water as heretofore and as it is
our purpose to do hereafter.
We trust that in short time we will
have the power completely arranged,
and that we will not hereafter be sub
jected to the inconvenience we have ex-
perienced in getting off this issue
We do not like apologies in anything,
and this notice is not meant as an apol>
ogy, but more as an explanation. Here
after we hope to steer clear of this neces-

Business Notice.

The books of the VALLEY VIRGINIAN,
under s. M. Yost & Son, are now being
arranged at the old office in Staunton
for prompt settlement with those who
are indebted for either subscription, job
work or advertising. 1t is well enough
to close up accounts once in a
life time and as the business of the VIR>
GINIAN office was run for twenty-One
years, without any persistent effort to
close accounts, it is the desire of the old
firm to do SO now, and do it promptly.
Those knowing themselves indebted to
8. M. Yost & Son, will therefore please
call at the old Office, room on the left
side of the stairway, and pay what they
owe. There is a very large amount, runs
ing into t. usands of dollars,
due us, and it is not right that we should
be kept out of the money we have earn,
ed any longer. s. M. YosT & Son.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1891-05-14
Issued every Thursday Morning
To Our Friends.

The VIRaINIAN is offered to the public
at ONE DOLLAR a year, instead OF two
dollars a year as heretofore. The one
dollar must invariably be paid before
the name will be entered upon our sub
scription books We have adopted this
price in order to place the paper WITHIN
the reach of every man, woman ana chiid
who can read. The primary object we
have in adopting this low price Is to se>
cure a large circulation in the State, and
for two reasons: First, one dollar in hand
is worth more to us, in conducting the
paper successfully, than two on the
books. We know exactly what we are
doing and what it costs us to do it. Sec
ond, the largely increased circulation will
be an indictment to business men to ad-
vertise, as the wares of their business
lines will be placed before a larger pur-
chasing constituency than at the old rate
and thus benefit them and the paper
Third. it establishes the cash system,
which in the long run is the best for all
parties, Expense can thus be regulated
by income and intelligent and safe bali
ance sheets struck every week, or every
day for that matter.
There are numerous other advantages
growing out of this method of business
that will suggest themselves to every
one. 1t shows that the publisher wishes
simply to live and let live; that NO one
can possibly lose by subscribing to the
paper and that healthy example and
influence will be inculcated among all
classes of business men.
We desire to enlist the active support
and encouragement of every one who
NAV feel an interest in having a first>
class, representative weekly paper pub
lished at Clifton Forge, which will take
in the district and State in discussing
theauestions and interests of theday- A
little exertion on the part OF each friend OF
the publication will result in making the
VIRG1NIAN the most widely circulated
and popular weekly journal published
in Virginia, if not in the South. May
we not then confidently appeal to the
friends of the enterprise to put forth a
little effort at least, to help make the
VIRaINIAN what it is our aim to make

The post office will be removed from
it's present location to the VALLEY VIR

now being fitted up for it, is completed.
The room faces on Church street, and is

When the furniture and necessary APP
purtenances for a post office, are placed
it will make very convenient and COM

modating post master, is making ready
to change the location of the Office as
soon as the room is finished.

To the Voters Of CLIFTON Forge:
Having received information, though
not officially, of my nomination to the
office of mayor, by a majority of my fel.
low townsmen, deem it my duty to you
as well as to myself, without delay, to
say what was said for me before the
mass meeting, that I cannot accept the
Office, because my business is such that
l could not give proper attention to the
duties of the office. beg you to accept
my cordial thanks for the honor, which,
! assure you, is most highly appreciated.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE SWAMI.
