PROGRESS AT BUENA VISTA.
ANOTHER NEW AND VALUABLE INDUSTRY STARTED.
Correspondence of the Staahten SPECTATOR.


ANOTHER NEW AND VALUABLE INDUSTRY STARTED.
Correspondence of the Stahnten SPECTATOR
BUENA VISTA, Va, August 10, 1892
The hotter the weather, the harder the men
in charge of developing interests here seem to
work. President Barclay is untiring and has
scored another good figure in urging on new
enterprises under the auspices of the Buena
Vista Company. This time it is for the prod
uct of what is known as Mineral WOOL ~
That fabric is made of limestone and the Stag
or flax of iron furnaces. The abundance of
the raw material as well as the superior trans
portation facilities here were the chief induce
ments which caused this place to be selected
for the new plant.
l am informed that Mineral Wool" as the
sheets of this lining material are called, are
much used in the Western country, principal
ly for an under surface for houses and cars
and that Chicago is a chief market for it.
-Four houses for this new industry will be
erected Immediately on the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad near the Rarig Works. The
lumber, one hundred thousand feet is now
coming forth from the mills in the Buena
Vista forest. The stone is on the ground, and
the brick for the buildings will come down
from Riverside, five miles north of Buena
Vista, ON the Norfolk and Western railroad
AS Haverstraw on the Hudson, thirty-five
miles above New York, is the location of the
brick plants for that city, so Riverside figures
in Buena Vista progress.
The "Hotel Buena VISTA" which was open
ed August LIST, under the proprietorship OF
Talley & Givins, is already doing fine bust
ness. Families from Philadelphia, New Jer-
sey, Richmond, Lexington, etc, are there for
the season, and the patronage from the town
is also good. Last night there was splendid
opening ball at the hotel and large company
was present

The Democratic party is pledged to repeal

In reference to the Force Bill and its beng

at liberty. He then gave its horrible charac-
ter in detail showing how ingeniousy it pro-
vides for robbing the Southern people OF the

dress 1t invests the chief supervision with
more power than was ever given to mortal
man. These officers are appointed for life,
and they can shoot men down or lmprison
them and cannot be tried by the State courts.
They can go into the homes OF the people at
their will. They can make such returns as
they choose and they cannot be prevented.
And the Republican party is under pledge TO
pass this bill The Democrats should stand
together, rally around Grover Cleveland, and
relieve the people. There is nothing more
certain than that either Cleveland or Harrison

been favored by Democratic legislation, and

Confederate at the reveille of freedom. to raj
ly and stand with the Democratic party.
HON. JOHN t. HARRIS.
Just as Mr.. Gordon closed, Hon. John I.
Harris, of Rockingham, arrived at the Court
house. As soon as his presence was observed
calls were made upon him for a speech. In
response thereto he took the stand and made
some remarks. not regular speech, for
which he was not prepared. He said that he
had represented the people of Augusta for a
number of years-that he always spoke the
truth as he understood it. Men sometimes
think ahead of the people and sometimes be-
hind them When he spoke in the Rink four
years ago, he devoted the first part of his
speech to the danger of allowing the. Republic
cans to rule for the reason that they would
pass Force Bill. The people then did not
share that fear with him-then he was ahead
of the people Had it not been for the silver
bill, the Force bill would have been passed.
1t is now the great and living issue. 1t was
the misfortune of Hon. A. H. H. Stuart to
think ahead of the people, but the results
showed that he was always right.
Some say that it matters not how low prices
are if all things are proportionately low, but
he did not think so. That would do for those
who merely wished to clothe their backs and
feed their bellies, but not for those who wish
ed to lay up something for their children.
He made some reference to the tariff, and
cold tb of ;fc uorki nos ware ard RI understand
that he did not, and for so saying, ''his right
there was none to dispute" He closed by
some remarks very complimentary of Hon.
H. st. G. Tucker as Representative in Con-
gress, saying he was the best this District has
had, not even excepting his distinguished ia
ther, for he thought the son more practical.

The Big Show and its Foreign Captives.
This year Sells Brothers amusement holt
day for everybody within radius of fifty
miles of Staunton falls on "Wednesday, Aug.
81. and the indications all point to such an
influx and mastering of our stalwart country
cousins, their good wives sturdy sons and
rosy checked daughters, as was never seen on
such an occasion before. For the glory and
profit of their twenty-frst annual amusement
campaign the Messrs. Sells have clearly made
hercuiean efforts to provide any amount of ev-
erything to please all tastes, while carefully
excluding everything in the shape of debauch-
ing and prurient so-called 'spectacles' and
| aught calculated to injure the morals of the
young or offend a parent sense of propriety
| and refinement.
The Big Show of the World will be present
ed here in more than the magnitude and per
lection which, during the past winter months
so entirely captivated Australia and won the
unqualified admiration of its press and peo-
pie, for while abroad most notable additions
were made to its attraction, by the purchase
in Australasia, the East Indies and elsewhere
OF many exceedingly rare and royal wilds
beasts, birds and reptiles Conspicuous among
them three truly tire mendous Tigers, as big a
cows, and any one of which could make a
picnic lunch of any other heretofore exhibited;
whole drove of giant Kangaroos of varied
hue a flock of splendid full-grown and baby
Emus, prodigious constructing serpents, odd
apes and gorgeously plumaged language
gifted birds. Tothe other novel and varied
attractions of the show we need not again
make special reference. They are duly and
fairly set forth in the flood of advertisements
and constitute grand and wholesome exhibit
which cannot fail to universally please and
profit
The Messrs. Sells wish it distinctly and final
ly understood that their great show is not d.
vided, never was and never will be- but is al

City and starve all the rest of the land with

trary, they employ for the entire season the

gage for few days metropolitan appearance,
and, consequently, give the most expensive,
brilliant and complete performances of all.
