Encouraging Words from a Few c

Since the present Proprietors took
charge of the VIRGINIAN their pathway
has not been strewn with flowers, Ell
countering numerous thorns in the way
of adverse criticism. This did not SUR
prise US, for critics are a necessary eie-
ment ia all we'll regulated communities,
and we appreciate the valuable aid they
have given US in introducing the VIR>
GINIAN We can think OF no agency

ICED association of fault>finders, when
their energies are centered upon par
ticular enterprise. But while these are
thus employed, we occasionally receive
a word of consolation, which revives our
dropping spirits. and causes us to take
fresh courage. We quote few OF those
recently uttered:
A gentleman employed in one of the
large industries in Covington said:
"Your paper has been greatly improved
since it changed hands, and l read it
with much interest"
A lawyer in the same town remarked:
sit is the newsiest and best local paper
in the county | desire to renew my
subscription"
A kind friend from Lexington, Va,
writes: II congratulate you on your
success in making the VIRGINIAN a live
valuable paper. | am sure it must be

An educated and talented lady of this
city, remarked: you may not consider
me competent judge, but nevertheless

much valuable information"

advertisement in your paper has paid
me handsomely. Continue it for anoth-

Ny DEAR SIR AND BRoTHER:-Doubt-
less you wonder why you have not heard
from me about matters connected with
the Clifton Forge Building. We are
pushing affairs as fast as possible at this
end of the line. Plans have been drawn
by the Chicago architect and approved
by Mr. Stevens, General Manager: Mr..
Ingalls,, President, and by other officials
of the G. 81 o. These plans are now in
the hands of Mr.. Frazier, Chief Engi-
neer of the Road, who is to make up
specifications and details and submit
them to contractors for bids. | saw Mr.
Frazier last week, Friday, and he told
NE it would be several weeks before his
men could get the plans ready for the
contractors; but that he expected to
have the whole matter done and the
contract let by the middle of March.
Mr. Axtell says that Judge Swami has
been served notice to vacate the lot to
be used by the building; but of course
during this cold weather nothing could
be done. | shall go to Clifton Forge in
sufficient time to make all plans with
your Committee before any active steps
are taken toward putting in the POUNDS
alton of the building. VIII you please
advise with the several members of your
Committee about what | have written
you. Hoping to see you soon, | remain,

ANXIOUS.
There was quite sensation at Wilton
last week. A man bv the name of Hen>
ry Lane had wife of his own but failed
to make good living for her. She left
him and went to her former home in or
near Staunton and he came to this place,
having two brothers living here. The
two brothers, Paul and Fred, had mars
ried sisters below Lynchburg, and moved
here about four years ago. Being ex-
pert miners, they were made foremen in
Captain Cooks mines. They were sober,
industrious, saving and quiet men. The
two brothers and sisters had lived seem
ingly happy, and were quite respectable
people. About year ago they bought
with their savings a large lot near the
Furnace, which had a house on it. The
two families moved into it and Pred
Lane concluded to build for himself He
bought lumber and his brother Henry
took the job of putting up the house,
which it seemed to take him all spring
and summer to do. But it now trans
pires that he was making love to his
brothers wife, which Paul discovered at
the time and drove him away, telling
him never to put foot in his house again.
However, they met secretly until all
opportunity offered for them to get
away. She joined him at the depot,
satchel packed, with her baby. and they
took the train for Clifton Forge. and
there he went to work, the two living
together as man and wife, he being ems
ployed in the Machine Shops. They no
doubt thought they wer safe, but Paul
learned of their whereabouts and had
his brother arrested, Jailed and brought
his truant wife home again. Next morn
ing, Henry, who had gotten out of jail
somehow, again appeared upon the
scene, when Paul started for Squire
Deisher and while gone Henry skipped
again to parts unknown. and Paul-not
the Apostle-and his truant wife are at
home again, SQUIB.

For man whose whole life has
been a series Of monstrous mistakes,
on so important subject as the
Christian religion, it is wonderful
how clear headed he may become
when other and less vital matters are
at issue. This fact is illustrated by
the following correct and concise
views of Robert G. Ingersoll, the no.
ted infdel, on the silver question:
"I am and always have been BIZ

will be good in every country Of the

that however threatening the 1inan-
