Iron Gate Items.
EDITOR VIRGINIAN


The result of the suit of the W est
Iron Gate Land Company VS.. L. J. Cush-
ing in the Staunton Circuit Court, OF
which mention was made in an editorial
in the last issue of your paper, was Gers
tainly gratifying to residents as well as
bona fde investors at this place The
Iron Gate and West Iron Gate Land
Companies started in good faith an hon
est. business like enterprise, as is attested
By the sure and steady strides of our
town toward an upward and onward
march. with its substantial and increas-
ing industries.
Your editorial stated that to be sure
it is q great hardship on the individual
who noa0 has to pay his money for some
thing comparatively valueass." We
beg to take issue with yonr editor on
that point. Mr.. Cushing and others in>
stead of waiting until alo2O to be COM
PEELED by the court to conpiy with their
contracts, should have come up like men
and paid promptly for their stock, and
probably West Iron Gate stock would
+ be at premium as is Iron Gate stock.
Can another Land Company, other than
the old Iron Gate Company, be pointed
TO whose stock at par is worth one hum
dred dollars and whose stock can not be
| purchased at one hundred and fifty dol
| lars per share to day, notwithstanding
| the fact that the sister Company has
been unable to help it out in building
up enterprises, grading streets, and car
rying on other improvements because
the subscribers found Il gambling scheme
did not exist whereby they could reap
a harvest by dumping their stock upon
''others" at a great premium and having
1.-The others to make a business profit
| hxy Y1ci,v Incl, and aparvv
Another point which needs emphasis
is that Mr.. Cushing's stock was far from
being comparatively vaIueless.r Mr..
Gushing, could have turned his stock
over, when fully paid up, to the Compa-
ny at one hundred and fifty dollars per
share for building lots and have as good
a business investment as can be found in
this State, for houses are in great de-
mand here at rents which yield from ten
to fifteen per cent. npon the amount in>
vested. Men who believed subscribers
| to West Iron Gate stock meant what
they said when they subscribed, have
had their shoulders to the wheel. and
are making Iron Gate what it is, and to
! day cannot guarantee to enterprises
houses for their employees. Why? Be-
cause delinquent subscribers have
played the baby act and decried their
every effort to carry out their obliga-
| tons ana desires to make a town. Had
/ this baby act not been played there is
/ no telling how much more substantial
the town might be to-day than it is. No
! sympathy is due to these "deinquents :"
| Praise is due to those who have acted
like men and gone ahead. When men
fail of their duty they need to be showed
or dragged to it. West Iron Gate has in
her attorneys, Anderson aud Moore and
Capt. Bumgal diner, men who have the
metal in them to do this very thing

A Double Elopement.
Roanoke Daily Times. June 81.

From Roanoke Daily Times, June 81
A very romantic elopement occurred
last evening, in which the d1anatis per.
some were three young people from Ell
liston and one from Salem, who found
that their love was stronger than paren-
tai opposition, and a journey to Bristol
was the result. For some time past
Frank Grice, of Elliston, has been law
ing siege to the affections of Miss Biddie
Mitchell, of Salem, and j. NJ. Bell, an
operator at ElIston, has been aware
that life would not be worth living
apart from Miss Jennie Maddox, of the
same village.
Yesterday morning the young gentle
men came to Roanoke and remained all
day. Miss Jennie Maddox was visiting
at Christiausburg, and last night both
boys took No. 3 for Bristol. They were
joined at Salem by Miss Mitchell, and
at Christiansburg by Miss Maddox. Mr..
Grice and bride will return to Elliston
to be forgiven, while Mr.. and Mrs. Bell
will go to Kentucky to visit relatives.
Harvesting in the eastern part of the
State is in progress. The wheat is re-
ported exceptionally good.

Iron Gate Notes.

Ex-Sergeant Wilson is now clerk in
the Rolling Mill. Ii Billy will only
stick to his work. no more capable man
can be found than he.
Mof1itt & Bros. are very anxious to
store away Il quantity of bark which
they have purchased for their tannery,
hut so far have been unable to do so, be>
cause of the failure of the railroad com
pany to place a side track III position
for them.
Another feud is on hand This time
it is over Squire Hileman. Those who
believe as does Grover Cleveland, are
seeking the Squire to thrust office upon
him. One faction thinks he is indis-
pensable as a Squire, while the other
thinks the same OF him as q Council
man. Sit on the fence, Squire, and let
them fight it out, for, as the boys say,
they're no kin.
Iron Gate has made another acquisi-
ton, in the way of an energetic gentle
man and business man, in the person OF
Mr.. a. Alexander, formerly of Lexington,
but more recantlyof Goshen. Mr.. Al lex
ander is just opening a new and large
stock of builders supplies and hard
ware. AS booms fail, substantial Iron
Gate attracts the business mans eye.
-Four of our citizens missed their
horses one day last week. 1t was found
that said horses had wandered to Clifton
Forge and had been placed under arrest
by Sergeant Gleason. We have always
thought Clifton was wet. We know it
now. Gieason's charge of drank and
disorderly cost the owners of the AMI
mails S2.25 apiece. It's no wonder Cliff
ton has SO many missionaries visiting
her, for, boys, the wet must be in the
air.
A Bachelors Club has been formed
here, and eight or ten OF our young men
have rented a portion of the old Kayser
residence, employed cook and other
servants, and claim to be living in royal
style. A capital plan by which to break
these young men into the ways and me-
cessities of supplying household wants :,
as each one provides his own furniture
and takes his turn in purchasing for the
table and experimenting the culinary
department.

"Thst Boy"

The above was the subject of a lecture delivered last evening at the M. E. church by Bishop J. Il. Vim cent.
 The church was comfortably fill ed by our citizens, although the au- dience was not as large as the merit of the lect ure and the reputation of the lecturer warranted,
 The Bishop was introduced by Rev. G. F. Bovard, and was greeted by the audience with the Chautau- qua salute, which IS simply the way ing of handkerchiefs.
 The lecture was listened to at tentively throughout by the au- dience. and was frequently inter rupted by applause. Bishop Vim cent showed thorough familiarity with "that boy" and that boy means the average boy of the period. His lecture was instructive, amusing and entertaining, being happy com, mingling of good advice, sound thought, pathos and humor.
 The boy was taken up as an in- fant and his history and peculiari- ties traced through the various stages of boyhood, up to the age of sixteen years, when he doffs his bovbood character and dons that of inc young man. His word pictures of the yougster, his habits, and hiS emotions, were true to life and evoked the applause of the audi ence. The three great institutions, which are destined to make That Bow" develop into great and use full man, are the church, the pubic school and the home. The lecturer placed the latter as the greatest ana most important factor of the three in the development of character, and cave some excellent advice and instruction in regard to the training of boys. ..,,o.., al treat, and people will miss an opp nortunity which may not be pre-, sented again for years in Prescott II tbey fail to hear the lecture to- night. by Dr. Hurbut, on the sup feet of John Knox, and the one to he delivered by Biohop Vincent to, morrow evening on the subject oi That Boys Sister

The democratic party of Arizona has shown its inconsistency by pro- fessing great sol,citude for the laboring men of the territory before election, and in its platform, and yet the party tried to pass law to put convict labor in competition with free labor. This is consis- tency with back action. The party in Arizona is faithful fol lower of it's proto type of the United States. The only consis- tency it has shown is it's inconsis- tency.
 It professes to follow Jefferson as its guiding star, and yet it ignores the facts of history by claiming that Jefferson was free trader. It professes to believe in the policy of Andrew Jackson, and yet if Jack son had been president in Buchan- ans place, there would have been a strangling of democrats, or a regu- lar holocaust of that party, com mencing with Jeff Davis and end ing with the last yelper of "Pm a democrat"
 It professes to be in favor of a sound currency, but yet advocates a return to the stlte bank system, which every one knows was the most stupendous fraud that ever cursed people.
 1t professed, to the people, that it was in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver, yet republican senate passed such a bill, and sent it to the house for ratification, the oracle of Gray Gables shook his mustache, and lol the house with a majority of 153 CONSISTENT demo- crats refused to pass it.
 The history of the democratic party is that of high sounding phrases and magnificent promises, the former for bunkum, the latter with no intention of performances.
 It is simply an opposition party, Whatever the republicans as party advocates, it opposes.
 As it has not proposed any na- tional legislation for several de- cades, even when Gray Gables was in the White House, it is necessa- rily only party of opposition or obstruction.
 It is true, however, that during the term of Cleveland's administra- tion after tremendous amount of fustian, and great lahor, the Mills tariff bill was introduced. but really not with the expectation that itl would pass, but only to make be lieve.
 This is the party that Col. Will son says by an inuendo is the party of pure consistency, while the re- publican party is the inconsistent one. His reason for the latter is that two years ago the Mormons were very bad people, but now they are lovely.
