Walnut Lumber.

Since the introduction of railroads and
the handy portable steam saw-mill, the wal
nut trees and much other valuable kinds OF
hard wood, all along the transportation
lines, have heen turned into lumber. The
demand for walnut and hickory has been
constant for Northern factories, especially
the first, which in large quantities has also
been shipped to Europe.
Long since the conclusion has beer
reached that our walnut lumber resources
sufficiently near transportation to be mark
eted, had played out, but that seems to be
a mistake. Ali along the railroad lines
mills located of late are cutting away or
walnut stocks, which have been hauled from
the recesses of the forests and faroff fields
A handy little portable mill has beer
planted between the connecting yard
switches of the two railroads in this city
and walnut logs are accommodating, brought
there by railroad facilities from the interi-
OF.
The Norfolk & Western railroad extern
sion through the Southern part Of West
Virginia, opens an immense territory OF
lumber resources never OF scarcely touched
before the presest time. Both in logs ani
sawed material, large shipments are going
northward and some of it to meet foreign
demand.
The branch connections of the Chesa
peake & Ohio Railway West of Staunton
are contributing new resources in 1umbe
material and new commerce in it, is find
ing its way northward and across th'
ocean.

C. & o. Railway Trans.

Some weeks ago when the Chesapeake and
local passenger trains that rendered SO many
valuable facilities to Staunton and the peo-
pie along the line having business here, one
of the local trains between Lexington and
Balcony Falls shared the same fate, to the
loss of the people and the company too.
Last week the discontinued train, was re-
stored on the last named route. Now let
the company review the matter and restore
the privileges OF which Staunton and the
people interested have been deprived, by
what is thought to have been a mistaken
netion of economy.

Fourth Monday.

The fourth Monday OF each month, il
town of the empire county OF the Valley
for then commences the regular term Of thu
county court, that sometimes runs through
as many as ten successive days. Monday
however, is the day on which the people
turn out according to custom, coming
down from the establishment of govern.
ment i'll Virginia. A Virginia court
day." as the first day of the monthly terms
are known, is al institution upon which
no improvement can be made Its social
and business features, which cnstom has
established, are the cleverest, so to speak,
of our holidays.
The two proceeding days to last Monday
were uninviting for people to turn out, and
the early part Of the forenoon of that day
continued murkey, but abont the middle of
it the sun shone out and warmer tempera-
ture melted the light snow of Sunday night.
The people were not in town in large num-
bers. but all parts OF the county were rep
resented. The reporter embraced the OPP
portuIity of exchanging a few words with
many Of them.
The favorable season which has prevailed
for out door work, leaves but little corn re-
manning in the field, that crop shorter than
usual because of summer drought is main
ly in the garner. The excessive dry wealth
er OF September and October on both the
early and the late sown wheat has not had
a serious effect as was anticipated, and in
the main that growing crop with the grass
fields are in good shape.
The Augusta farmer as a rule. is always
up to time with his work. The dry au-
tumn prevented q condition of the soil suita-
bic for fail blowing, which however, does
not know exist and if the season continues
open many acres for the corn crop of 1898
will row be turned.
The fourth Monday is a historic day for
the Augusta people and for the mutual
profit and benefit of town and county, and
long may the civilities and intercourse it
lrings to pass prevail
