Artistic Work.

Mr.. E. ID. Patterson, the popular
painter and paper-hanger of this city,
has just finished papering and decora>
ting the residence to be occupied by the
Rev Fl. i. Wood. 1t is pronounced a
superior piece of work, and has been
greatly admired. He has been engaged
to paper the Gladys Inn, and other
houses in this city, and also has two
large buildings at Covington, for Presi-
dent E. M. Nettleton, of the Allegheny
Bank. He has also completed big
contract at Hot Springs, and number
of contracts have been closed with other
parties. 1t gives us pleasure to note the
enterprise of this young business man.
Mr.. Patterson will leave for New York
next month to purchase an extensive
supply Of Wall Paper, &c

Rents are being reduced, and this will
be great inducement to families seek
| ing locations. Moderate rents, low taxes
and an impartial enforcement OF the
laws, will have tendency to increase
our population more rapidly than all
other instrumentalities.
It is surprising how many desirable
locations for residence houses are yet
available. The Clifton Forge Company
has some choice lots that will find ready
purchasers when the weather clears up.
Several nice buildings are now located
on lots sold by this Company.
We have a number of copies Of the
Illustrated Southern Almanac, based
upon the well known Richardson"
representations and issued by the j. L.
Hill Printing Co, Richmond, Va. You
can procure a copy by calling at the
VIRGINIAN Office, free of charge.
The protracted meeting which was
conducted at the Methodist Church last
week, will be continued at the Presby-
terrain Church during this week. Mem
bers of the various denominations are
earnestly requested to attend and take
part in the services, as we'll as the pub
lie generally.

The Gruber Family,

Tuesday and Wednesday nights appre-
ciatiye audiences filled the new Opera
House, to witness the musical entertain>
ment given by the "Gruber Family,'
who reside at Alexandria, Va. This
family Of nine persons, are musical to a
remarkable degree, and their varied
talents challenge admiration Little Josie
aged five years, is a pecocious child
whose singing and acting would have
been creditable to an experienced act
ress. Her voice is clear, strong and
touching, and she gives promise of a
development of rare musical powers.
Prof. Gruber and all the members of his
family gave a unique but very enjoya>
bile entertainment.
The Summeryille IS. CO. Neaos says:
''PFof Gruber and his interesting fam
lily, consisting of his wife and seven
Emanuel Hall, on last Thursday and
Friday nights, to audiences composed of
some of the best people of Summerville.
The performances of the company is
beyond a doubt refined and high classed.
and represents the home life of the Cru
Der family, every member of which has
musical talent. The violin, which Prof
Gruber handles with rare skill, is sup
posed to be the oldest in existence. 1t
was made in 1916, and is now. SIT years
old. 1t is a marvel of fine workmanship.
Mrs Gruber has full, sweet voice, that
reminds one of Jenny Lind and Emma
Abbott Little five year>old Josie sang
and danced in way that made the
audience fall in love with her. Master
Steve sang several songs which were en-
cored enthusiastically The eldest
daughter, who has a remarkable touch
on the piano, performed on that instru-
ment Each OF the family performed
Eheir part we'll, and the entertainment
is well worth the price OF admission"

Bearing Fruit.

The announcement that the Allies
ghany Bank would add the saoings feat
ure to it's business, has already had the
effect of enlisting the boys and girls, and
perhaps older persons, in systematic
effort to save money. Masters Robert
Harris and Willie Moody have formed a
partnership to engage in the newspaper
business and procured their outfit. We
are glad to note this business turn
among our little friends, and hope others
will follow their example.

a Faithful Official.

Mayor T. p. Bowles, who was not in
attendance at the last regular NEE ting
of the Council on account of indisposi
tion, informed us that that was the sec
ond time since he became a member Of
that body, that he had failed to answer
to his name when the roll was called.
This is record of which any public
officer might well feel proud. Having
accepted the trust, he has shown by his
efforts to meet the requirements of his
office constancy that is seldom wit
messed in public servants. We hope lie
may SOON recover, and take his accus-
toned place in our city government.

Cleveland's Inaugural.
WINCHESTER. VA. March IA /

WINCHESTER, VA, March IA, 1898.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I notice in your
issue of March 9th, that the Inaugural
Address of President Cleveland was con.
sidered SO very brief, more so than any
other who had ever been elevated to
that high position. beg leave to differ
with you on that line by saying that the
contrary is the case
There is record of fifteen Presidents
whose addresses were very much shorter.
For example, George Washington, sec
ond term, 1874 words; Abraham Lincoln,
second term, 58S words; Andy johnson,
369 words; Chester Arthur; 431 words;
Willard Fillmore took the oath without
delivering an Inaugural address.
Cleveland's former Address was only
1888 words. So you see that the mes
sages refer to range from 1913 words,
which was delivered by Zachariah Tay>
Tor, down to 1874. Please say to Multum
in Parvo that he must 60 deeper into
the dusty records. Then if he fails to
find the Is, and he SO desires, ] will
cheerfully furnish it. e.
