THE WORK OF MACADAMIZING THE MID
DLEBROOK ROAD BEGUN--FARM BOUGHT
PERSONAL NOTES, sc.
Reported for the Staunton VINDICAToR.l
SwooPE, June pa penitentiary set
down in the middle of Augusta county is
something new to Our citizens out this way,
but something of the kind is an established
fact now about Arbor Hill. The writer
was passing the other day by that beautiful
body of woods between MI. VIM. McComb's
and the store at Arbor Hill, when he was
attracted by new settlement, a long barn
like building with tents, sheds, &C., scat
tered around, mules and carts standing
about and men walking around with a
striped uniform on. Here is the tempo
rary plant of Gooch& Waugh, the contrac-
tors for matchmaking the Middlebrook
pike to Staunton from the Rock bridge line.
The contract was let last Tuesday week
and on the Friday following they were es-
-tablished, with all their force, in their new
quarters near MI. McComb S, having moy-
ed all from near the Warm Springs, built
ready for work in 3 days. Early Monday
morning blasting was commenced and the
work will be pushed each way from Arbor
Hill until completed, when Augusta
county can boast of another smooth high
way. What will the Middlebrook road be
without mud in the winter? They will
have to change the name! The farmers of
Rockbridge and upper Augusta will lose all
their fun ofhitching up 6 and Shorses opull
one ton of hay to Staunton. Now that the
good workhas begun, let every road leading
to Staunton be fixed in the same way. One
man speaking of it the other day said the
value of his farm would be increased So, OO(
by this improvement. The farmers of
Eastern Virginia spend their winters strip
ping tobacco, the farmers of Augusta spend
their winters cleaning off horses after theil
muddy trips to town and elsewhere.
The lumber for Gooch IL Waugh7s plant
was furnished by Mr.. VIM. McComb and
placed on the ground in q day.

MI. Sam Bell is again among his friends
around Swoope, having come to see about
the harvest ON the large landed estate o.

years.

place, and who has been quite sick lately

its Naples yellow petals promptly oyc. the family ensign--a column of united stamens that stands in the hcauti.ui brown center of the flower; but in its adventurous life with us, where it eS capes from gardens, it varies with the weather and as a timekeeper is no more to be trusted than four-o'clock.
 Other EowerS also have their hour, and the favor that makes them the fashion of the day is tickle as ow skies of cloud and sunshine. "Dear little buttercup" was smiled Cn for one brief sunny hour: then the suntlower rose and all lesser lights went out during it's brilliant reign. Goldenrod, oxcye daisies and chrysan- themums each had their day, and still finger in the twilight of appreciation. Naughty orchid for awhile sat queen, but her homage was short lived. and now the taste for aggressive size and form and gorgeous color gives place to finer and more delicate choice. and we find airy sweet peas lowering like but tcrfiics in the social sunshine.
 Mignonetto has so long been held up as the symbol Cf moral worth without external beauty" that if it were capable of being anything else than its own sweet self it would be prig, but the soft brown spike simply keeps on pour ing out fragrance from all its little ceEsers till the air is filled with health full, stimulating odors that are good for body and soul.
 Flowers, especially fragrant flowers, owe half their charm to association. Sometimes the association is so pleas ant it almost of itself gives fragrance to the flower; and, again, perfume will throw charm over an hour that would otherwise be unrecordod, for few things clinch the memory to the time like the subtle sweetness of perfume,

Abox to hold burned matches and cigar ashes is a great convenience to those who smoke. Such receptacles are not always ornamental in room. but here x one that is. It is designed to be hung OR the wall, and the foundation is a board as wide or q trife wider than a egar box and twice as long. This is covered with rough drawing paper tacked on after being hanpened with a sponge and water. li shrinks slightly h dying, and so dries perfectly smooth over the board. Somewhat below the center of the board a shelf of thin wood placed, painted black and set on two fancy black iron brackets. This shelf sa little wider than the width of a agar box which is to be set on it,
 The box is covered inside and out with soost of asphalt varnish, which is black. Before the outside dries sprinkle the As sides with bird gravel; let it dry on then put another coat of the varnish. On the shelf above the box water color scene is painted on the paper, and the rest of it down to the bottom of the board is gilded. A few dashes of black
