to be possessed Of great versatility. Mr..

thoroughly luthtluVu hihoO'i WIN tuO
character, and in the last scene of the
Bird act where his great heart burst with
love for his children ald he relents,
brought tears to tho eyes of many of his
auditors. Mr.. Baron Charles; as VIM.
Allen, was forcible and his performance
could not be improved. His dying scene
in the 2nd act was especially noticeable
for its artistic merit. The other mem

Lookine reward A New jan


At meeting of the Board of Super
visors this week the question Of the erec-
ton of new county Jail was discussed,
and committee appointed to look for an
available site in case the old one should
not be suitable for the purpose. at the
last term of the Circnit Court Judge
Mclaughlin issued 3 rule against the
Board to show cause why it should not
be compelled to erect adequate Gre-poof
vaults for the preservation of public re
cords in the two clerks offices. In view
of the imperative demand for a new jail
building, it is the sentiment of the Board
that that matter required action ahead OF
new vaults. 1t is understood that the
Board Will take that position and that
Judge McLanghln's rule IN regard to the
latter will lie over for the present.-Rock-
ingham Register.
The Harrisonburg Jail is no worse than
Shenahdoah's standing disgrace, the old
rock pile and disease breading affair
known as the Jail of this county.
This may not be just the time, to build
new Jail, for every thing is depressed
far below the natural level, but should
better times come, as they most assuredly
will. will our people have any more
county pride than they now havef There
is no county in the state, in ordinary
times and under ordinary circumstances,
that can better afford to build Jail that
will be credit to the county and not a
disgrace to the humanity ofthls enlighten-
ed age. Sup pose times should get better
as they assuredly will, Will our Board of
Supervisors get up to the right plrin and
make arrangements for new jail' We
hone so,

Our Primary.

Mr.. EDITOR:
As you are RAINING an independent
paper, suppose you will give mespacs to
describe our primary meeting which was
called at Woodstock last Saturday. Do
you know what it is to be whipped out of
your boots if you do, that's just the way
we felt when we got through that meet
ing. There was about 10 OF US when
somebody moved that Mr. Bauserman
take the chair and put the vote so quick
that Mr. Bauserman was seated before l
knew what was going on. COL stickley
then moved that Capt. Grabill be elected
Secretary and he was elected. Col. Stick
ley then moved that a committee be sp-
pointed to select delegates, and some one
who didn't seem to be posted wanted to
know what the delegates were tor, and
they said that it was for the legislative
convention. We thought that as there
was only about 10 Of us in the room that
we might select them without commit
tee, but they said no, and we reared a
little and told them that it was machine
that wanted to grind out delegates, bnt
they voted us down and the chairman
quickly appointed Col. Stickley, W. L.
Dosh, B. F. Maphis, II. C. Magruder, and
n. ". Rhodes, the committee.
As the committee was a good one, the
Colonel moved that they select congress
sonal delegates also, and the motion WAS
carried SO quick that it would have done
the repealers in the U. S. Senate good to
see how we dispatched business. The
committee then retired and we waited,
and when they came back they had list
of eleven delegates headed by Davv
Spiker and ended with Lem. Boyer. We
told them that Davy Spiker couldn't be
there and we nominated DR.. Maphis who
would be there, but they SAID that they
would rather have Davy Spiker away
than DR.. MapLis present, and then We
didn't say any more but let them vote one
by one the following delegates: d. F.
Spiker, Josiah Wisman, Peter E. Hoshour.
F. S. Tavenner, II. C.. Magruder, n. NJ.
Rhodes, w. D. Spiker, r. E. Allen. G. A.
Boyer, J. C.. Van Pelt and when they came
to Leml A. Boyer's name, some one said
that he had learned very recently that
Mr. Boyer was not altogether 'onpd on
the goose and moved that C W. Burner
be put in his place, and it was 80 done.
Then the committee reported the con-
gressional delegates which were as fo,-
lows:

this meeting was unanimously IN favor Of
Mr.. Walton and be knew that Mr.. Wal
ton especially desired that the chairman
Of this meeting should be a delegate,
and he therefore moved that Mr. Jos. 81
Bauserman be delegate. Some one
informed the Doctor that Mr.. Bauser-
mans name had been reported and he
said it was all right, Then Col. Sticklry
said he had the permission Of the Com
mittee to report the name Of Capt }. H..
Grabll instead of his own, and then they
voted them all in. Ole Of our boys got

there be no instructions and the motion
carried and we adjourned, but | tell you
we found out what it is to be in a
meeting and to be no where a. the same
time. This has been the case with us
pretty often and We confess that we felt
somewhat sore over it. In fact some Of
us have been rolled under the machine
for so long that we are getting very
tired of it and you must not be sur
