folk. for.$6,5oo.
"Richlands has moro lifo and bus
tie about it than any other town in
this scction,' was tho remark made
to us the other day by n visitor.

ing Co., also tho Richlands Limo
and Lumber Co. will move into
their offices in tho bank building
this week.
Che water pipes have been laid
on &ufrolk avenue, Second street
and most Of Front street on this

description is being rapidly pushed
forward
When ground is broken for the
tube works lots that AFRO now offer
ed for sale by tho Richlands Land
Co. at S400 each, will look cheap at
81, 900; lots that can be bought now
for 1880 each. will sell at $4,000
each six months after work on the
tube works is begun.
Among the many industries of
Richlands, that OF the Limo and
Lumber Co. is destined to be On i'm.
portant factor in that rapidly grow

men, the people who arc buying
are right hero in Richlands, men
who can see what is coming, aud
have tho courage to back their
ideas with their money. Rich!auds

that we are crazy, perhaps we are
but up to date it has paid us to be

Joseph ], Doran, of Philadelphia.

sailed yesterday for Europe. He
will vis;E London and Amsterdam

necessary to double track tho moro
important portions of the road and

"This visit of tho Norfolk & West.

of the trip through Southwest Yir-

pressed himself as amazed ut the
wealth of resources Of this country,
and also of the glittering prospects
of the Norfolk 81 Western as these
resources are developed. A consul

eign and domestic stockholders, and
it was arranged that the road should
send commissioner to confer with
English and Dutch capitalists with a
view to materially adding to the
funds at its. disposal in order to has

"English capitalists now have a
number of agents throughout South

At Chamberlin's the other night a
party of distinguished FOUNDERS were
exchanging gossip. Somebody began to
tell of Eugene Field, of his various tricks
and quips and witticisms. There was a
story about his astonishing watch. 1t
seems he went to the trouble of procur-
ing an enormous silver watch, the size
of a rutabaga turnip. Somewhere within
the vast interior of this instrument he
had placed a continuance of such nat
ure that when one turned the stem as
though to wind it up it gave forth loud
and rasping noise like unto that of ten
locusts saving their resounding legs at
once. 1t was startling and an awful
racket, calculated to shock a nervous
person and to irritate the most phleg-
matte.
Armed with this engine of torture,
Field used to repair to theaters where
dreadful and heartrending plays were in
process of evolution, and then, at har-
rowing points, when the villain was I'M
folding his hellish plot, or the virtuous
maiden defying ruthless prosecutor,
and everybody was hanging in suspense
upon the same, Field would unsheathe
his watch and turn the crank with in
dustry. He always broke up the tragedy.

Rubber and Rubber Goods.

How much pure rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? About 70
per cent. The best Para gum costs
ninety-fve cents a pound, so you see
rubber boots and shoes cannot be made
for nothing. In the smallest rubber
shoe made there are about four ounces
of pure rubber, and from that to prob
ably four pounds in pair of rubber
boots.
Old rubbers are ground up, lining and
all, into what we call rag carpet, and it
is used for insoles.
The work is nearly all done by hand,
and in the factories are employed young
children, men and women. A bootmak-
err gets twenty cents pair for making
them, and good man can turn out
from ten to twelve pairs day.
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the
country, with total capacity of over
10000 pairs of boots and shoes day.
There are four factories having ca
pacity of over $4,000 pairs each, and
one which has capacity of 10000 pairs.
1t is mystery where they all go to-

Bald Heads Are Sensitive.

A man without hair on his head
came into the BARRIERS shop and sat

When the shave was finished and the

was getting his hair cut in the next

OUR YESTERDAYS.

| saw my yesterdays go past,
A sinuous steam of souls of days,
Glad adversely; in the vague haze
Some forms, it seemed, no shadows cast;
Each right hand held its mirror fast,
Some wreathed with myrtle, some with
bays,
And those that answered to my gaze
Showed me my memories as they passed.
Over a twilight plain afar
Their blurred line faded out of view
Toward mountains mystic as the sea;
But, shining each one like star,
The mirrors wherein saw you
Cleaned backward through the dusk to
me.

Judge Bouic as Mayor.

1t seems appropriate that the fact of the
Hon. VIM. Veirs Bouic being Mayor of
Rockville Is a matter which is entitled to
much more than ordinary consideration,
and as plain citizen wishing to express my
appreciation of the situation desire to say
that think every sincere friend of our beau
tiful county and village should feel the most
lively Indebtedness TO Judge Bouic for his
Willingness, at his time OF life, to take
more active and official interest in the con.
servation and extension OF the temporal in.
terests OF the citizens OF our progressive
county y.seat. To suppose that the fact of
Judge Bouic occupying the position is com,
mended by all persons interested is unrea-
sonable, because he is of too aggressive a char
acter and too decided in the expression of
his convictions To enable him to conciiate
the friendly regard of the average citizen.
But this fact does not in any manner lessen
his actual value To them as Mayor of the
town. He will watch their interests and
welfare to their advancement in every in
telligent and profitable manner; but should
those interests be assaled or jeopardized by
the imprudent and incOnsiderate action OF
others, there could be found no one better
equipped To resist the encroachments and
evil effects OF iniudcious counsel, and ren.
der more exhaustive and logical array of
ttlcts for their consideration to sustain his
position than the honorable Mayor Of Rock
vile. He, like all men Of great magnetic
force, acts in such an apparently radical and
Independent manner that bitter personal op-
position is engendered by his course and oh
iects but this result is owing in great meas :
ure to our inability to adequately judge of
the motives for auuther's action and some
times from disposition to attribute To 9th
ers our own unworthy motives and meth
ods.
In the course of the long residence Of
Judge Bouic in Rockville many projects OF
public improvement for the town and coun-
ty have been considered, AMI some OF them
he has opposed, whilst he has favored 9TH
ers and practically identified himself with
them, and To day, il seems To me, his course
will bear the most intelligent scrutiny, and
exhibit as little discrepancy as in tue nature
of human affairs could be expected. No
man of force and public spirit can feel much
Difference for the opinions of others. any
more than weak character can sustain his
own opinion, and while the Mayors iuhu-
ence iu the Counci! will not be modified by
what others may think, his action will be
guided by intelligent reflection for the best
interests of the community, and his admin
istration will undoubtedly reflect honor up
that any city or town has the good fortune
to have for its Mayor man of such varied
practical knowledge and experience in the
direction of their interests, and the intelli
gence and energy to execute measures FOL
their welfare promptly and economically.
