"Wait TIL the Clouds Roll By.'

Frank NJ. Wills, the comedian, who is SO
well known in Staunton, having appeared
here a year OF 50 ago in the 1.-Two Old Gro
nies," will be at the Opera House next
Monday night, November 18th, in his new
farce comedy "Wait Till the Clouds Roll
By" The North American Review of
Philadelphia, has this to say of Mr.. Wills
and his new play: Frank M. Wills with
his new comedy, "Wait Till the Clouds
Roll By, took possession Of the Arch street
Street last night, and in his own peculiar
way succeeded in having lots of fun-so did
the audience. The play possesses many
bright features. The plot is dainty and
sweet, also well woven. He has quaint
way of his own. which makes him as funny
as in 1.-The Two Old Cronies, ''and perhaps
a little more so. John Wills played the op-
posite part and made the most of every op-
portunity to keep the audience convulsed
with laughter. Miss Josie Domaine, Miss
Jessie Olivier and Miss Norma Wills
kept the round of merriment complete. u
The press everywhere say that MI. Wills
is far superior in his new play to the ''Two
Old Cronies, which should be evidence that
the audience will be pleased with the new
play.

to consider the recent change III the sched-

present schedule of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railway is so destructive alike to the trade OF

the said railway, committee of three be APP
pointed to lay this matter fully before the
proper officials and appeal to them to so re
wise the said schedule that the mutual inter
ests of both the city and railroad may be pro

that body On railroads, were appointed {

To the Judges Of Election Of Augusta Co.

There appears to be great misunderstand-
ing in constituting the Election laws, and I
therefore submit, for your guidance, the
following exact abstract of the Election
laws by which you will be governed.
LIST. The election must be conducted ac-
cording to the laws Of the State. The Con-
stitution, Section 4, Article l, page IL of
the Code. reads: 1.-The time, places and
manner Of holding an election for senators
and representatives, shall be prescribed in
each State by the Legislature thereof"
End. No man can vote on transfer, who,
comes from city OF from another county
but persons can vote ON transfers who come
from another precinct in the same county.
3rd. A voter may be challenged for cause.
although his name may be on the registra-
ton books.
4th. The Judges of Election have no
power whatever to give transfers; as the
last day fol- registration and transferring
was the 29th of October.
5th. Persons whose names have been
stricken from the books, cannot vote until
their names are replaced; this can only be
done by order of the County Court. You
have no authority either to restore the
names, or receive the ballots of such per-
sons on the day of election.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN n. OPIE, Chairman,
Augusta Co., Dem. Committee.

LARGE PumnkinS.


The Bridgewater correspondent of the
Harrisonburg Free Press has the following
in the last issue of that paper: "Mr. W.
H. GIBBS raised in his garden vine that
measured, with it's five principal branches,
All feet. There were dozens of smaller
branches that were not measured, and it is
safe to say that if all had been measured it
would have measured as much more. The
largest pumpkin weighed 164 pounds, and
measured feet inches in circumference
The next in size weighed 1874 pounds. The
six pumpkins weighed 35pounds. We are
doubtful if another such vine has been
grown in the State. If so we should like
to hear from it. The pumpkins will be on
exhibition at the Harrisonburg fair.
Miss Maggie Ryan. who resides neal
West Augusta, raised some fine pumpkins
on her farm. The four largest grew on one
vine, and the combined weight Of the foul
was POS pounds. The largest weighed Il
pounds and measured feet inches in cir.
conference.

AGAIN in the Clutches Of the Law.

Yesterday morning an officer from Ohio
arrived here with 'requisition papers hon
ored by Gov. Mckinney, for the arrest of
DR.. G. B. Lohr, for purgery in Ohio, he
having sworn that he was single man,
when he applied for marriage license in
that State, and having at the time wife
living in Virginia. Lohr says the charge
is a trumped up one, made through spite
and malice. 1t will be rememberd chat
Lohr was arrested last Spring for stealing
a horse and buggy from MI. Cook of the
Hebron church neighborhood, of which
charge he was acquitted. He then insti-
tuted suit against MI. Cook for $4,000,
the trial of which case was to have come
up at this term of the Circuit Court. The
officer left yesterday evening on the GAS G.
& o. train FOR his home with the prisoner.

The New Wholesale Notion House.

Messrs. Hoge & Hutchinson with MI.
James A. Fulton, have organized a com.
pany to establish a wholesale dry goods and
notion house in this city, it being the first
business of the kind ever attempted
here, although the wholesale grocery bust
ness has been conducted for number of
years by several firms. Messrs. Hoge and
Hutchinson are widely known in business
circles in this section as energetic and sue
cessful business men. MI. Fulton, the
other member of the firm is resident of
the city, and has wide experience in the
dry goods business, having been connected
with leading wholesale dry goods houses in
Baltimore. This new departure will be of
great benefit to Stauuton, and we are glad
to welcome it and bespeak for it that liber-
al patronage which the high standing of
the individual members of the firm merit.
