DR.. C. r. Leaois, CLIFTON Forge, Va,
DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the 18th
instant received.
We are having our Engineer prepare
new plans for the proposed depot at
Clifton Forge, and, as soon as they are
perfected, will let you see them. How
ever, before anything can be done there
it will be necessary for the party making
brick to vacate the premises; as we shall,
in addition to building the passenger
station, want to erect freight station
just west of the passenger station, and
will need the ground now occupied by
the brick yard. thrust your people have
some interest in the matter. and will
urge the brick maker to move as early
as practicable.
Yours truly,
G.. W. STEVENS,
General Manager.

A Credltable Institution.
Yours truly,
G. W. STEVENS,
General Manager

We have before us the third annual
catalogue of the Clifton Forge Seminary,
which makes a most satisfactory and
creditable showing of the work of the
institution. This school began its career
three years ago with discouraging OUT
look and meager support. The Princi-
pals, Misses Dora and Mamie Bryant,
were, however, hopeful, and by faithful
and persevering energy have in a short
while seen their enterprise assume pro-
portions even beyond their expectations.
They have secured quarters for the
school at cost approaching $4,000, and
are from time to time adding to their
possessions by increasing their appli-
anees as the occasion demands. A glance
at the catalogue referred to will disclose
the fact that during the last session one
hundred and four regular pupils were
enrolled, beside eight students in special
departments. OF these, seven hail from
other States and eighteen from points in
Virginia outside of Clifton Forge. 1t is,
therefore, apparent that the influence
Of the Seminary is not merely local. but
through it we are being introduced to
the outside world
Tho Principals and their associates are
sa1l sMinently qualified and have, so far
as we can learn, given great satisfaction.
The school is credit to our city and de-
serves the hearty patronage of our peo-
ole

..se Base Ball Notes.

A match game was played last Saturs
day between the Ronceverte team and
the Cliftons on the grounds of the latter
which resulted in score of 10 to IL in
favor of the visiting nine. The game
really belonged to our boys; at one
time they had it in their own hands,
and would have won but for few costly
errors, which can be attributed to noth>
ing but lack of practice. The Cliftons
team is evidently made up of better ma
serial than the Roncevertes, but the
latter have played together for about
four years, perfectly understand each
other and play with a good deal more
system than the Clift0ps. All our boys
need is to practice. If they will keep up
the Club and make good use OF their
opportunities, by another season it will
be very strong nine. The home battery.
consisting of Martyr and Meek, is ex-
eeptionally good, and did better work
than the Roneeverte battery. The game
last Saturday was well worth seeing, and
was witnessed by at least thousand
people. Boys don't get discouraged.
Keep at it and you will succeed
.The Cliftons go to Staunton today to
play the Y. M. G. A. team of that place.

Mr. c. H. Shaver, Wellsville, Kan,

of the good Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy has done my
family during the last fourteen years.
In the most obstinate cases of summer
complaint and diarrhoea among my chill
dren, it acted as a charm, making it
never necessary to call in physician. |

based on years of experience, there is not
a medicine in the market that is it's equal.
