WARM SPRINGS, VA, May 30, 1892


EDITOR VIRGINIAN The number of
visitors at the Warm is largely in excess
of last year at this season. The Hot and
the Healing each have quite a little gath

a few boarders The prospects are for a
full season at the different Springs in
the Valley.
The convict force employed on con-
struction is to be taken off tomorrow,

CoYington improvements.

1t was our privilege, a few days ago,
to look somewhat infinitely into the res
cent improvements that have been made
in our sister town of Covington under
the guidance Of our genial and pushing
friend, Mr.. E. III. Nettleton. We were,
indeed, very agreeably surprised to find
the place had undergone within the last
few months SO much solid growth.
There has been no special activity at any
time, but with slow and measured step
she has gradually pushed forward. With
the furnace, tannery and brick plant
Covington presents an appearance Of
industry most creditable and pleasing.
1t is our purpose, before many weeks, to
give our readers fuller and more de-
tailed account of these improvements.

Gladys Inn Items.

The Inn reached her high water mark
last week, having registered over four
hundred guests in six days-many OF
whom will give the mountains of Viz
ginia another call this summer, which
goes to prove that not only is our noun
tain scenery, climate, &c, holding it's
own, but that the Hotel and Springs
people are giving their guests pleasant
time.
A new iron fence has been ordered for
the Inn yard and will be put i'll place in
short time, thereby adding to the APP
pearance of the surroundings.
Natural Bridge came in for a full quote
of the visiting doctors, as good num-
Der of them ran down there for day
from here, on their return from Old Point.

Insurance man, are registered at the
Inn.
Manager White has thoughtfully
placed two pretty row boats at the
Gladys landing, on jackson river. for
the accommodation of the guests who
may want to take a spin around Lovers
Island and other points of interest. We
are of the opinion that one of the eff
cient and obliging clerks, Mr.. &. NJ.
White, will spend some of his Off hours
ON the river, as he says the boats are
just the size for two-which catches him
exactly, and Clerk Snead voices his SEN
timent fully, claiming that more than
two is crowd when courting-Stotjstlcs
shoD that.
Gladys Inn, from every indication, by
the 1st of July will be full up, as many
are the enquiries personally and by let
tiers as to accommodation, rates &c,
hence we may look for a gay time this
summer at our new Hotel

CORRESPONDENCE.
An Explanation.
CLIFTON FORGE, VA June 1, IS

CLIFTON FORGE, VA, June 1, 1899.
EDITOR VALLEY VIRGINIAN We beg
the privilege of replying to an attack
upon our company in your issue of May
10Th, and Offering u short explanation
The officers of the company residing in
Richmond, Va, it is frequently neces-
sary for the superintendent to be absent
from Clifton Forge, but during his abb
sence any communications addressed to
the superintendent will be duly for
warded and carefully considered.
In regard to the lack of water in West
Clifton Forge, during the past few
weeks, we wish to say that it was mainly
caused by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company utilizing the entire
pressure to fill its tank, which consumed
about SIX hours, and no stated time was
chosen for the purpose.
About May 1st our superintendent re-
quested the railway company to utilize
ne-quarter pressure there
by leaving three quarters pressure for
! the residents of West Clifton Forge, and
until your article appeared our superin>
tendent supposed that such had been
done, and was much surprised and ag-
grieved to learn that it had not been.
About May 18th, during the night, an
accident occurred to the water-pump.
and when an attempt was made to start
the steam pump it was found that dur>
ing its ideness one of the parts had be-
come rusted and had to be taken off and
polished, which caused a delay of five
and one-half hours. On his return, our
superintendent made careful invests
CATION and finds that the delay was
caused by an unavoidable accident and
that everything possible under the cir
cumstances was done by the employees
of the Water Company.
1t is the earnest desire of the Water
Company to give a satisfactory service,
and if there are any causes for complaint
in the future, we beg that such com
plants be put in writing and addressed
to the superintendent at Clifton Forge,
and we assure the public that such COM
munications will receive prompt atten-
ton and careful consideration.

Mrs DIR. Brown and her mother, Mrs.
Rudd, are visiting at Rosedale.
The Presbyterians will give an enter
tainment at the Opera House on Friday
night of this week. consisting of music,
tabalauX and recitations.
Should the night be favorable, the
Covington Dramatic Club will play to a
crowded house on the night of June list.
At noon Tuesday nearly one hundred
reserved seats had been sold.
Commencement Exercises of Mrs.
Clark school will be held at the Opera
House on the evening of June 9th, at s
p. IN. Much preparation has been made
and those who are favored with invita>
tions may expect a treat.
County Court for June, promises to be
the most interesting of the year On the
criminal docket, to be tried this term
are five felony cases, Oscar Payne for
malicious assault, Ed. Burton for muir
der in first degree, Pat Balm for bnrgla-
ry, Joseph E. Hagy for larceny, and Bob
Sawyers for forgery. Besides these there
will be several appealed cases to be heard.
Mr. Lyman purchased the furnace as
stated in last weeks VIRGINIAN. The
Covington Improvement Co., probably
lost considerably on it. butcan congratu
late themselves that they disposed of it
us advantageously as they did. They
are undoubtedly better off without it,
and. q purchaser more satisfactor to the
company or to the people interested in
Covington's future, could not have been
found. Mr.. Lyman will complete it
at once, in all probability will construct
a railroad from the furnace to Dolly Ann
and Iron Mountain Mines, and light the
furnace fire at the earliest possible day.
At the Corporation election last Thurs
day, the following gentlemen were elect
ed to make and execute the laws of our
city for the ensuing year; Maycr,J. W.
Wyatt; Council, j. K. Campbell, DIR. O.
L. Rogers. Jno. S. Ham, W. a. Rinehart,
Geo. A. Rivercomb, and J. j. Hobbs. a
glance at this timber will convice any
one who knows it, that Covington will
have a sound, careful and progressive
administration of it's affairs during the
the coming year. The paving of the
streets, which was in measure provid
ed for by the oldj council, will be prose
cuted to completion. In order to leave
behind them bright and shining re-
cord, it is likely they will furnish the
town with electric lights.

A Remarkable Record.

About fifty years ago Jas. Il. Miller
was appointed postmaster at Gauley
Bridge, in Fayettee county, W. Va. by
President William Henry Harrison. So
efficiently and faithfully did he dis
charge the duties of the office that, al
though the appointing power has been
first in the hands one of political party
and then Of another, Mr.. Miller has never
been disturbed, and to this day attends
personally to the labors of the office in a
most satisfactory manner.
Mr. Miller is now eighty six years OF
age, but applies himself to his work with
a degree of promptness and vigor that
would do credit to a man of half his
years. We were recently shown a pho
tograph in which were arranged, side by
side, Mr.. Miller, his son, his grandson
and his great grandson. There are few
persons who have for SO long atime been
in the uninterrupted occupancy of a
public office as Jas. H. Miller.

Another Convention.

We are informed by the chairman of
the Democratic Executive Committee of
the Tenth Congressional District that it
has been virtually determined by the
committee to call a convention for the
purpose of nominating candidate for
Congress, to be held about the list of
September; and further, it is the pur
pose of the committee to designate Cliff
ton Forge as the place where the con-
vention shall be held. The selection is
eminently proper. There is no place
within the district more available to all
parts of the territory interested in the
convention. Our railway facilities are
the very best, our hotel accommodations
all that could be desired, and we can
furnish a hall well suited to the pur-
loses of the convention We trust and
believe that our citizens will see to 1t
that every courtesy and accommodation
is extended to our visitors on that occa-
sion, and nothing left undone That could
add to their pleasant recollection of
their stay among us. When the people
recognize and honor us we should in
turn treat them with marked considera-
ton

Our Electric Lights.

Some persons are inclined to complain
of the rate fixed by the Electric Light
Company for the use of their lights, and
on that ground a few have declined to
take them. We do not know what the
profit or loss of the company may be,
but from an examination of an authentic
list of the prices charged in the princi-
pal towns and cities of the United States,
we find the price in Clifton Forge is very
considerably below the average. Not
only so but, if you will take the pains
to figure it up, in the majority of eases
it will appear that electricity is not higher
than oil, while the light is assuredly
much safer and by far more satisfactory
Again. our citizens should consider that
the institution is new one, and its
maintenance necessarily expensive !;
and further, that if the lights are gen
orally taken the rate will after awhile
be decreased The same expense is sub
stantially incurred in supplying $50 in
candescent lights as would arise from
the running of 1000. 1t can, therefore.
be readily seen that if the lights were
uniformity used by our people the com
pany could afford to make reduction
in the price; and we confidently believe
would do so.
Another thing we should hear in mind
is the fact that Clifton Forge, it is con
ceded, has the best light i'll the State,
which gives US an advertisement we
could in no other way obtain. While
we sleep, those brilliant sparks are tell
ing the story of our energy and pros
perity to the travellers aboard every
passing midnight train. There is moths
ing that has given our city more stand
ing in in the opinion of the public than
this electric light plant, and it is an
institution that our people should heart
ily support

Fiucastle Keeps the Courthouse.

The vote taken in Botetourt county on
the 18th ult., upon the question of the
removal of the court house from Fincas
tile to Buchanan, resulted in a decided
victory for Fincastle the majority
against removal being 142. The fight
was hotly contested and each side was
apparently sanguine. The adherents Of
Fincastle are jubilant, of course, and the
Buchanan people correspondingly de>
pressed. The fight is now oyer, and all
factions will no doubt accept the result
with good grace and speedily overcome
and forget whatever of bad feeling there
may have been engendered during the
struggle. The securing of a county
court house cannot make city, nor the
loss of it defeat the prosperity of one.
