The Drama-"virg,nia."

The production of the romantic war drama,
Virginia" at the Opera House on Friday
evening, October 2sth by amateur talent
promises to be the most successful performance
Of its kind ever given here, financially and
dramatically. As is well-known the present
alton is to be benefit to the West Augusta
Guards and aside from the interest of the
play, it deserves the most liberal patronage on
account of its worthy object. The cast in
cludes the cream of Staunton amateur talent,
the play is one of especial interest in the Val
ley where the scenes ire laid, and the perform
ance brings in ali the old war music that
thrilled the young blood CT the South and
never fails to arouse enthusiasm now. Any
member of the company has tickets for sale.

STAUNTON, VA, Oct. Is, 1892.
Though busy season with farmers the
press of which, as in sowing wheat, being over,
many of them were in town yesterday and
during the past week.
The two principal products, wheat and hay
seem to have downward tendency in prices.
Deliveries of the first, however, keep up in
fairly large quantity, and but few sales of the
latter. The highest quotation for wheat to-
day was 721.
For quotations in trade generally and gar
den products the price current will furnish
information. The short crop of Irish pota-
toes will keep that product well up in price.

THE IRON TRADE.

Gradually there appears to be better time
coming for the depressed iron interests of the
country There are so many valuable inter-
ests in so large portion of Virginia, to say
nothing of the country, dependent upon the
profitable production of iron, that would make
the realization the brightest of the future time
for our section of its resources.
In connection with iron production in the
Valley, is the manufacture of steel. MIR. Ed

of certain ores, abundant in the Valley to that
purpose, all of which ere long We have an

Church Intelligence.

Revs. W. ]. E. Cox, pastor Of the Baptist
church and J. d. Donovan, of the United
Brethren church, both of Staunton, have been
abroad conducting revival meetings in their
respective denominations.
The Rockingham Register thus refers to the
visit of Mr.. Cox at Harrisonburg There has
just closed most delightful and successful
meeting, of two week, at the Baptist church
of Harrisonburg. The weather was charming,
the congregations large attentive, serious and
responsive As an immediate result of the
meeting, there were fifteen professions of con-
version. Out of this number thirteen have
united with the Baptist church. Gods chill
dren have also been greatly strengthened and
revived. Rev. w J. E. Cox, of Staunton, who
did the preaching 50 ably and faithfully, has
justly attracted to himself an admiring host
of Christian friends in this town.
Thesame paper says: The revival at Shenan-
doah City which has been conducted for sew
eral weeks at the U. B. church by Rev. G. B.
Fadeley, assisted by Rev. J. D. Donovan, of
Staunton, is still in progress. There have been
more than one hundred conversions, with
seventy-ive accessions to the church and
eighteen penitents. Mr.. Donovan is still at
Shenandoah.
Mr.. Cox is now at Waynesboro, assisting
Rev. H. G. Ferguson, pastor of the Baptist
church in that place in conducting protracted
meeting.

wrong was text of the Speaker and thos
who did not hear him, may well imagine th'
force of the discussion in the hands of the
orator.
The policy of the Republican rule was rapid
~ driving the population into unhealthy
channels. Here the home of the man OF
moderate means and the laborer was sketch
ed. Private homes were becoming fewer and
the opportunities of the laboring man less as
the oppression of the tariff and privileged
classes, bore down on the class in humble
circumstances.
CONFIDENCE IN THE RESULT.
November was to be the beginning of the
absolutely requisite for the safety of the coun-
try. Mr.. Breckenridge declared his conf
dence in the result, having in this campaign
participated in the contest in nineteen States
lie would not say so, except that for good and
sufficient evidences with his observations he
could declare his confidence The annihila-
ton of the Republican party was demanded
by every consideration of right-not quick
and decisive, but the gradual and sure end of
party that had passed the time of accom-
could happen for the whole country.
COMPARISON OF ADMINISTRATIONS.
The manner in which Mr.. Breckenridge
presented the facts as they existed, in his COM
PARSONS of administrations of the Govern
ment since the war by the Republicans and
the one Democratic administration, which
have had control during that time enliyered
his hearers to the highest patch of approval of
his utterances
Aselfish syndicate appropriating every honor
and emolument of the Government and the
highest interests of the nation to the dwarfed
methods and purposes of the rulers in con-
trast, with Grover Cleveland's broad National
democratic policy, was as wildly sketched as
language and burning eloquence could pres
ent the picture.
CONCLUSION.
The vast throng tired not though the sun
had long passed over the meridian line, and !
yet the people with earnest attention hung
upon the words of the speaker
In every rejecting mind, there was but one |
conclusion of that day. surrounded with more |
interest in this locality, than all others, save |
hat of the Sth November which is to redeem |
The country from the dangers and horrors so
pictured by the speaker, who babe
adieu to his audience in touching words |
The victory3which.he invoked an which he
believed would come, would be like the "fall-
ng dew, which falls for all, and brings a

OF fencing. First adopted as fad, the posi-
tive benefit to the health experienced from the
vigorous, yet not violent, exercise, and the
consequent added gracefulness of form and
carriage, have created genuine fondness for
the fascinating art, and it has become the
athletic diversion par excellence, many socie-

as professional. Recently collected statistics
show that women to-day are two inches taller
