A High Compliment

We take the following notice from the
last issue of Yost's Weekly, which APP
pears as an editorial, and is from the pen
of one of the ablest as well as enc Of the
oldest members of the Virginia Editorial
fraternity. We publish it not because it
contains a complimentary alIusion to
the present editor of this paper, but for
the purpose of showing what is thought
of the VIRGINIAN by those competent
to judge Of it's merits. It says
''The last issue of. THE VALLEY V1R.
GINIAN, at Clifton Forge, announces that
| c. G. Taylor has withdrawn from the pa
per on account of other business engage
ments, and that hereafter D. S. Eichel
berger will be in full control. Mr. E. is
a well trained newspaper man, and is
making of the VIRGTNIAN a useful rep
resentative of that growing section
The paper ought to be literally SUSTAINED
and we have no doubt it will be under
the efficient management Of Mr.. Eichel
berger.

A False Report.

For the past ten days a report has
been in circulation to the effect that
Messrs. Il. I. Parker & Co, and several
other grocerymen, had presented a pc
tition to the C. & o. officials. asking that
they prohibit their trainmen from car
rying supplies purchased at points OUT
side of Clifton Forge on their trains.
This report has no foundation in fact,
as will be seen by card published in this
issue by Messrs. Parker 6 Co.
We are very glad to be able to set this
matter straight, as we have thought
from the moment the report reached US,
that it was very improbable. These mer-
chants recognize the fact that men have
a right to deal where they are offered
the best inducements.

Stauneon, va.


Important business called us to Staun-
ton last Monday week. 1t was the begin
ming of the March term Of Circuit Court,
and the city was thronged with people.
So great was the crowd in the vacinity
of the Court house, that it was difficult
to elbow your way through. Business
was brisk, and the storekeepers were
correspondingly happy. staunton is
the natural supply point for large area
OF rich agricultural country, as well as
numerous thrifty towns, and it's whole>
sale and retail firms are constantly en-
larging their facilities to accommodate
increasing business.
Among the professional and business
men whose acquaintance we made, was
DR.. VIM. A. Frazier, the noted Occulist
and Aurist. The doctor, in addition to
being q most successful and distinguish
ed specialist, whose services are highly
appreciated, is an affable gentleman,
thoroughly informed on the questions of
the day. We take special pleasure in
recommending him to those suffering
from impaired eye sight or deafness.
Messrs. Armentrout & Weller are old
patrons of the VIRGINIAN, and are gems
tlemen OF whom any community should
be proud. They are the leading dealers
in Clothing and Gents Furnishing Goods
and their establishment is known far
and wide. They deal ION the square, .
iv1n +ha.v of. r,f
their long experience as tradesmen.
Goods purchased from them are war
ranted TO give satisfaction Give them
call when in the city and on will never
regret 1t.
Maj. S. III. Yost, as postmaster, and
Editor Of Kost's Weekly, is a busy man,
but always finds time to give his friends
a cordial greeting. He is one of Staunt-
on's influential, leading and gifted citi-
zens. Messrs. Fraser, Blackburn & Co,
proprietors,and Straughn and Tompkins
eompositors, OF the Weekly, were busy
in their various departments. 1t was
very evident that this is live and pro-
! gressive newspaper, aud leads the pro-
| cession.
We also met Messers. Hartman Bros,
wholesale liquor dealers; hIf. Morton, OF
the V5aadic0tor, and the we'll known pro
prietor of the Virginia Hotel, Julius
Scheffer, Esq, who runs a first class
house.
There was q general air of improve
nent and enterprise prevailing in The
city, which betokens a bright future To-
this attractive place.

railroad men from carrying groceries
from other points on their trains hops
ing thereby to increase the sales of our
