NEW MARKET NEWS.

DEAR HERALD In our last communion
ton in the item relating to tho Eaton
Splitter cutting sffray, IL should have
been DIR. instead OF Mr.. Miller.
We we're surprised to learn that the
streams east and west of our place art
waterless. Some of the millers fnd it
difficult to grind.
The early crops Of potatoes are being
dug, and the yield in most cases is large
as is also the potatoes.
The season is net so favorable IS when
we last wrote, but on the contrary it is
very dry, and unless rain falls the within
the next few days the early crops will
suffer very much.
Mr.. G. A. Guard has been appointed to
a position in the postoffice by POSTMASTER
Williamson.
The advertised game of base ball be-
tween our home club and club OF New
York ladies was play ed here on Tuesday
last to a fair attendance. The "girlS'
were not a success, as the boys beat them
- runs. Il was a novelty, and attracted
attention. especially the lower extTem-
tiles of the girls. Most of our ladies did
not attend.
The Shenandoah Valley Office is addin G
another story to its building.
Mr.. J. N. Thomas is also erecting
three story building for bar-room and
other purposes.
Children's day services were all that
could be expected on Sunday last A large
coDgre cation vas present to witness
these interesting services. The children
acquitted themselves admirably. The
music and singing by the choir was ex-
cellent. We could not particularize
where all did so well. Rev. ]. S. Porter
made a few brief remarks, and in doing
so urged the Importance of the children
attending the Sabbath school as we'll as
the parents also attending, as they were
IN a very large measure resposible for tie
religious training of their children. The
day was bright and beautiful, and will
lopg be remembered by those who were
present. Everything passed off most
pleasantly.
We have only a word to say in regard
to the communication in last weeks
HERALD, signed by Ten Democrats" and
it is as follows: If we are bitter Rebuilt
can because we prefer Mr. Hoover, for the
House of Delegates over Mr.. Brenaman,
then they must be ten bitter Republicans
because they prefer hr. Brehamau for the
House of Delegates over Mr.. Hoover. 1t
IS a bad rule that wont work both ways.
We read few DAYS ago of "sOme con-
gregatlons that prayed on their knees on
Sunday and on their neIghbors the rest OF
the week" am glad to say that we
have no such congregations 10 our town,
but we have a few persons who pray"
on their neiShbors all the time. We DO
not allude to any one who may take ex-
ceptions to the above item. More anon,

A Big Enterprise.

We are glad to know that Woodstock,
after lingering aloug IN the old ruts is at
last to have a manufacturing enterprise
of some Importance.
Mr.. Emmit E. Brannon, attorney for
Mr.. j. c. Benson. of Alcony, Ohio, has
sold the exclusive right to manufacture
and cell the Little Bonanza Tanning MIL
and grain separator for Virginia and also
the exclusive right to manufacture these
machines for the states OF Mary land and
North Carolina. The company has com
pleted its organization with a capital
stock of $4,000. The buildings and
plant of the old Woodstock manufactur-
ing comp any will be used, and are now
being put in first-class condition, il being
the intention of the company to COM
mence operations at once. The organlza-
tion is known as the Shenandoah Valley
Manufacturing Company, the following
being the officers: President, N. l.. wall
ton vIce-President, Samuel II Bowman
General Manager, A. Bemis Secretary and
Treasurer, w. W. Logan Board of Man
ayers, NJ. B. Wunder, j. F. Wisman' W.
II. Newman and NJ. Boyer.
These names are guarantee OF the
solidity of the company, as they are
among our most prominent and reliable
citizens.
The mill that they will manufacture Is
perfect little wonder in its way, and is
certainly about as near perfection as
machine of this kind has as yet been
brought. 1t does Its work with a COM
pleteness that Is almost marvellous, while
the ease and speed with which all kinds
of seeds can be separated is surprise to
all who have seen it operate. No farmer
can afford to be without this separator 20
1t will be worth far more than the low
price at which 1t will be sold in cleaning
the seed wheat of single sowing, while
few years use OF it will clear any farm
of the weeds thai now overrun so much OF
our lands, and so greotly injure the
value of the crops. All our people are
interested in the success of this enterprise
and should give it their support in every
way. That it will prove big success Is
we think beyond all doubt, and Will soon
reach such proportions as to give en-
ployment to large uumber of hands and
prove of great benefit to this community
and the surrounding country.

For the HERALD.
Legal Prohibition.

What does it mean 7 The writer I'M
derstands it to be the enactment and en-
forement of such laws as will make it ex-
ceedingly difficult for persons to get any
intoxicating drinks lpon which to get
drunk or even party so, thus causing
those who drink too much to be unable
to do so. as frequently as now. There
being no open saloons legalized the IN
ducement for the youHg to drink will be
so much lessened that in few years we
will haver far loso number Of young
men who are disipated than we have at
present when they have every opportunity
that will cater to the appetite and excite
the brain. Prohibtionists believe that
the taxes on the liquor traffic does not
paw the expenses Of criminals and l au-
pers created by It. And last but not
least, that it is contrary to the consttu-
ton of the United States that declares In
favor of life, liberty and the pursuits OF
happiness Of our people. They believe
that major portion of our people are
made less happy than II intoxicating
drinks were not sold as a beverage at al
and only pure spirits allowed as medicine

The Female BallistS.

The game Of base ball on Monday last
between the young Ladies club of New
York, and the club of this place, drew
pretty large crowd to the grounds ad-
joining the Indian Springs, On the
South edge of town. The girls played
their level best but did not amount to
hill of beans against the boys who would
have shut them completely out but for
that ''fellow feeling" that makes all base
ball players wOnderously akin. Only
seven of the girls we're present, and two
of our town players had to be drafted in
to fill mp their nine. The game consisted
of six innings and resulted in score OF
% to 9 in favor of the Woodstock club.
Shaffer, the regular pitcher of the
Woodstock club had to be taken ont Of
the box at the end of the first two or
three innings the girls being afraid to
face his cannon shot falls. We regret to
say that after the HERALD had given the
game all the free advertising asked for
the editorial staff and employees OF the
Office we're so far overlooked by the
manager of the Woodstock club who
forgot the amenities that always prevail
as t. compel them to pay their admission
to the grounds.
