The Right Man.

Mr. N. A, Hope, who for long time
has been a. weekly visitor to Clifton
Forge in the interest Of the grocery
house of Bowling, SPOTS & Co., has
severed his connection with that house,
and on Monday commenced as salesman
for the Clifton Forge Grocery Company.
We welcome Dir. Hope as a resident of
Clifton Forge and bespeak for him as
great success in his efforts for the new
concern as he achieved for the Staunton
house. He is a pioneer in the wholesale
business in this section of the State,
knows the trade and understands exact
ly how to please his customers. He is
the right man in the right place, and a
valuable acquisition to the Clifton Forge
Grocery Company.

As a Business Matter.

The advantages to Clifton Forge of
the approval of the amended charter by
popular vote, have not been grasped,
probably, in their full magnitude. me
limits confined in the new charter ems
brace $50 lots not now in the corpor-
ate lines. These lots, at very low esii>
mate, will produce a revenue OF III per
lot, each year, and for 90 years, the limit
of the bonds proposed to be lssued,
$4,000 The Improvements on the prop
erty embraced in the Clifton Forge Com
pany's plat, will aggregate $4,000, M
Guiding residences, business houses and
industries which in 90 years will yield
$4,000 revenue, and taxable value OF u
& 0. railway property within proposed
corporate limits $50, Geo, or $3.50 per year,
for 20 years, 5000
Aggregating for 20 years. rev.
enue, not now derived from
taxable revenues, . $685.
1t is proposed to bond, if the
charter shall be adopted by
the people, $4,000 interest
on which at 6 per cent. would
be 5000 a year-for 20 years
would be $4,000, principal
and interest, ........ $33 900
Leaving balance to the corporation,
to be appropriated for improvements,
of $23, 500 as {. clear gain to the corpora
ton. after redeeming the bonds and ac-
counting for the interest.
These statements are based on present
conditions and values Il isnot unreason-
able to suppose that before ten years
haze rolled away, the new improvements
that will be made, will add double the
amount of taxable values above given,
apart from the present basis of taxation,
and give to the city ample means to
make all essential improvements for the
comfort and convenience of an increasing
population and enlarged business opera
tions.
Looking at the subject purely as
business arrangem Int, no intelligent
citizen solicitous for the growth and pros
perity of Clifton should hesitate a mo-
ment in giving his support to the charter
as amended Its adoption would date
new epoch in the history Of the town;
would attract attention from every
source; induce population and capital
to locate here. for it would give assur
ance that Clifton was on the onward
march, and that the people were alive
to their own interests and fully abreast
of the spirit of the times. In every way
it would be an economical business
action, affecting favorably every interest
connected with the place.

The following circular has been hand

which we publish, as it may put some OF

TO THE SCHOOL TEACHERS OF THE UNITED
STATES:
The Pope Manufacturing Company, Of Boston,
Mass offer as prize Columbia Expert Bicy-
Gle, (this aehine is of the same pattern as tha6
used By Stevens in his bic! Gle tour around the
world, to any teacher who may be the first to
inform them of any msstatement Of fact which
may appear in any school book studied in this
country under the authority Of any school com
Eittee. The error must be one that is taught III
the lessons and not q mere Typographical mis-
take or an error inadvertently made in spelling
or grammar. Disputed points of history viii
not be considered errors in this offer. Com
nlunirations on this subject must be addressed
TO the $ Department of Eauoation," Pope Manu-
factul ing Company.
What is meant by misstatement is something
that all the best authorities agree to be such, as,
for example, in .'Harper's Introductory Geo
graphy,'' on page Is, Lesson x, the following
misstatement is made: g Fer the earth has two
different motions all the time. It turns around
on itself-so to speaS-that is one motion; and
it moves in circle around the san-that is the
other notion This book is now used in the
public schools of Brookline, Massachusetts.
Every Intelligent person knows that the
earth's orbit is an ellipse, as was demonstrated
by Kepler, whose laws Of planetary motion
form ed the ground WORK of Newton's discover
les and are the starting point of modern astron-

things that they must unlearn as they grow
older, and school teachers can do no greater
service to educate than TO point out the errors
that should be eradicated from text books.

Married in Washington, d. c., on
Monday last, Miss Collie Keadle and Mr..
J. B. Snapp, both of Clifton Forge.
The parties to the above matrimonial
arrangement are both well-known in
this place, and whilst the fact of their
marriage will be surprise to many of
our readers, the best wishes of their
friends and acquaintance will follow
the newly married couple, in which the
VIRGINIAN heartily joins. The party
left Clifton Forge Sunday night on No.

town.
1t is reported that another couple de-
parted from this place few days ago
for Washington with matrimonial in
tentions, but the report could hot be

place this afternoon at O'Clock, in South

We regret TO announce the removal of
the clothing store of Messrs. Rodes y
Parrish, which is taking place this, to
Ronceverte. w. Va. This coarse WAS
determined upon Oh Saturday last, after
a long and mature consideration OF the
step by the members of the firm. We
regret. in common with the sentimet of
the community, that such a step was
deemed advisable. At the same time
we are glad to know that the town will
likely lose none of those connected with
the store, us residents of the place here.
Mr.. Parrish will still make his home,
while it is probable that Mr.. j. L. Mann,
the efficient head Of the clerical force, as
we'll as Mr.. Martin, will likely be induced
to remain amongst us. We trust that
such may be the case.

What is Being Done?

What is being done by the friends of
the amended charter? 1t is necessary, in
order to get fair and full expression of
the will of the people to have organized
effort and systematic work. The propo-
sition will not carry of itself. What is
everybod's business is nobody's business,
and if there is not some systemized
force to move in the matter, the result
may not be that which will enure to the
people of Clifton Forge. It is a matter
of great importace and should have the
attention it SO richly deserves.

Public Inconvenience.

We know the management OF the G. 4
. railway wants to know all the facts
connected with the operation of the road
it controls and the schedule adopted. A
great public carrieA covets the good
opinion of the public and aims to accom-
modate thai public in all respects, consis-
tent with the success and interest OF the
road. For this reason we are induced to
mention several incidents that may be
of interest, developed within the last
week A lady coming to CLIFTON Forge
to visit relative last week, was mlslead
when the train reached here, by the
trainman calling out "Smith's Creek "
She remained in the cars until it stopped
at West Clifton Forge depot, and then
got out expecting to meet her friends
She was surprised and greatly discom-
forted when she learned that she had
passed Clifton Forge, where her friends
We're waiting for her, and had to walk
back to Clifton Forge, reaching the
depot here after her friends had left,
they thinking she had not arrived.
Another lady, coming to Clifton Forge
on visit, had her baggage checked to
Clifton Forge. She got off here, where
friends were waiting for her, but her
baggage was carried to West Clifton
Forge. az i!tI to be sent for by the
gentleman Iii whose house she stopped.
These are very annoying inconvenien-
ces to persons travelling and especially
Indicate the degree of worry to which
they are subjected by taking from Cliff
ton Forge its corporate name, and subs
shutting for it another with which the
public is not familiar.
1t is no spirit of fault finding that we
mention these matters, but in the in
tefest Of the railroad and the people who
travel on it. 1t is but fair and right that
such unnecessary trouble should be
possible, and we know it is in
the power of the management to do so,
and we believe it will be done. How is if
possible to do injustice to any other in
which in reason ought to be accorded
without mention? Certainly no public
interest would be jeopardized or mill
tated against, and we do not think any
private interest would be injured, but
even if this should be the case the pub
lie interest is paramount. In this light
all fair minded people view it and we
believe that will be the view the en-
lightened management of the road will
take of it.

a Question for the Weatherwise

Whether the grounding or the equi-
nox is to be credited with or blamed for
the remarkable winter weather OF the
past week, is question for the weather
wise to wrestle with. The reign of the
former ceased, according to tradition
regarding this weather prophet, on the
10Th, whilst the equinoxal period was
the 21st Between the two dates we
had more solid winter than at any other
period of winter. 1t was storm period,
and we trust it is over, at least until the
next like period, which will be Easter,
the 18th OF April.

Out of Place.

The appointment of the seasons has
always seemed like an arbitrary arrange
ment of the months, without any very
good reason for it. To class March
with the Spring. is !; violation Of all the
proprieties of the case, as we generally
have the worst winter weather in that
month of all others September would
more properly come in the cluster of sum
mer months, and March ought to be rel
egated to Winter. The sun does not
cross the equator until the 2ist of
March, and until that event occurs we
have no right to claim that Spring has
come.
This March has been unusully severe.
depressing, and the snow fall greater
than any one of the Winter months
What the spots on the sun have had to
do with this we do not know; nor
whether from them, as a cause, have ema-
mated the atmospherical eccentricities
with which we have been treated Gers
tain it is that March has been out of
place as a Spring month this year; and
it would be we'll enough for the Alma
nac-makers to study the situation care
fully before they prepare their publica-
lions for next year.
