Henderson Gets a Prize.

Among the medals awarded at the
W orld's Fair we notice that the ex-
hibit of bright tobacco made by Mr..
d. Y. Cooper, on behalf of the Hen
derson Tobacco Board of Trade, was
the only one of the kind thus honored.
This is very creditable indeed and Mr..
Cooper is to be commended for the
interest and zeal he manifested in the
matter. Individually and alone he
went to work and got up the samples,
had them appropriately arranged and
sent on to take their place in the North
Carolina exhibit of agricultural pro-
ducts, and the sequel is shown above.
The Henderson market and the pecu-
liar types Of bright leaf for which it is
noted always show up to advantage on

Thanksgiving was appropriately OBJ
served in Henderson, the principal
features being the gathering of family
parties, bountiful dinners, friendly re-

virtually at standstill although most
of the stores kept open during the day.
Union services were held at the Bap-
fist church, Rev. w. L. Cuninggim,
pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, preaching the sermon. His
discourse was both able and edifying,
characteristic Of the man and suited to
the occasion. A special collection for
the benefit Of the orphans was taken
up. At the Episcopal church services
appropriate to the day were also held,
being conducted by The rector Rev.
Julian +. Ingle.

Gut His Throat.

On Friday night last Mr.. T. W. Shell
ton, who has been conducting a saloon
at Clifton Forga, arrived in Staunton
accompanied by friend and registered
at the Virginia Hotel. His friend who
was keeping watch over him. as it was
evident that Mr.. Shelton was suffering
from dementia, left word to be called
for the West>bound vestibule train at
430 A. M. They were called and started
for the G. G 0. depot on foot. In rear
of Buke's stable Shelton stepped around
the corner and in moment more appear
ed with his throat badly though not dan
gerously cut The blood on the ground
attracted a large crowd the next morn
ing Notwithstanding his wound he
went on to the C. s. o. depot with his
friend. 1t seems that later on Saturday
be appeared at the Carter House, Char
lottesville, in charge of several friends
who were taking him to his home in
Nelson county. AT the Carter House
that evening he succeeded in getting
out of tie second story window, but his
plunge to the ground was made less VIC
lent from the fact that friend in the
room held on to him at the window un-
| til he broke away from him and fell. He
was taken TO his home Saturday night
His situation aroused a good deal OF
sympathy from those who saw him.

their building at the disposal OF those in

ed in very artistic manner. This was
followed by Rotations, character songs
and dialogues, the evolutionary efforts of
the young ladies, pupils of the Semi

The ':Potato Race which was partic-
ipated in by Misses Harrie Curry and
Katie Alley, and Messrs. JAS. n. Page
and Joseph Lipop, closed the program,
and caused much merriment. A num-
of pealed potatoes were placed in rows
on q platform and the contestants were
required to balance them on tiny
spoon and place them on plate, the
person carrying the greater number win

ALLEGHANY ORE FIELDS.

A proposition from the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad to assist in the cons
struction of the Roanoke, Fincastle and
Clifton Forge Railroad has been accept
ed by the city council of Roanoke, as
we'll as endorsed by public meeting,
and an election has been ordered in
Roanoke to take the sense of the people
on subscription of 100000 to the CAPT
tai stock Of the Roanoke, Fincastle and
Clifton Forge Railroad Company. The
estimated cost of the road is 100000.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway pro,
poses to endorse per cent. bonds OF
the railroad company for $500, 000-one
half. and the other half to be provided,
100000 by the city of Roanoke, and
the balance, 100000, otherwise. From
the sentiment already developed and
expressed, it looks as though the neces~
sary capital would be raised to complete
the road
In discussing the matter before the
Board of Trade of Roanske, Mr.. N. b.
johnson made the following pregnant
remarks: England ..can make pig iron
for So 80 ton. 1t is said it can be made
in Virginia for SIS 90. If SO, we can make
pig iron cheaper than any other commu-
nifty in the world. There as not enough
ore along the Tine Of The Norfolk and
Western to supply our furnaces, and ut IS
q matter OF necessity that ape go INTO the
country tributary TO the Chesapeake and
Ohio for further satpp1aes.'
This admission corresponds with the
position we have taken in the Weekly,
| that the great iron district in Virginia
was to be found in Allegheny county,
principally, and the adjacent counties of
Bath, Botetourt, Craig and Rockbridge.
The Rich Patch section is the centre
of this district, and is where the bulk of
the high grade hematite and fossil ores
is to be found There the deposits are
practically inexhaustible and can be
worked above water level for hundred
years to come There is enough ore now
in sight there to supply all the furnaces
impression upon the veins. The Rich
Patch Iron Company, whose property
adjoins that of the Low Moor Iron Co.,
have demonstrated in their operations
the unlimited quantity and superior
quality of the ores of this central loca-
ton and that ores can be mined there as
cheap, if not cheaper, than at any other
place in the South.
Not only is the ore available on this
property to furnish the demands of the
furnaces Immediately contiguous to it,
but could, by charging its washing ma
chinery, supply the furnaces at Salem,
Roanoke, Buena Vista and other points
where they may be located. The prac-
tical, known facts Justify this conclusion
and give the assurance that there is no
where in this country where foundry
iron especially, as well as mill iron, can
be made to SO great an advantage.

A Satisfactory Sale of Lots.

The sale of lots on Tuesday, by Messrs.
Anderson and Haden, Special Commits
sioners, the property of the West Clifton
Forge Investment Company, was well
attended and considerable interest mani
tested, the bidding at times being spirit
ed. The lots on the west side of the riv-
accessible, but those on the east side, be-
tween the Depots, brought very satisfac
tory prices, averaging about $500. In
most cases the purchasers bought with a
view of building. Upwards of 40 lots
changed hands on the day mentioned,
and the eagerness exhibited by purcha-
sers, is encouraging as to the future
growth of Clifton Forge.

ran over his head, crushing his skull and
killing him instantly.

a good and Industrious boy. His remains
