Brushy Ridge campaigning,

Editor Greenbrier Independent
The announcement of the re.openinp
OF this old Camp August l5th-a repe-
tltlon OF what has taken place annually
Tor almost a quarter Of Il century-gives
pleasure to many, calling up precious
memories of spiritual blessing received
at this hallowed spot. To others, of
course, it brings only thoughts of feast
ing and gaiety.
we wish to call attention to a few
facts connected with this institution,
which may help to give right view of
it to those interested.
1t was begun with common consent
and has been continued by representa-
tives of LewisOurg, Frankford and
Blue Sulphur charges. Among those
who cheerfully meet the trouble and
expense of the Camp, are some of the
most useful and prominent men and
women Of the county. 1t has been en-
dorsed and encouraged by the presence
o! many of the county's best citizens,
and by the assistance of some of the
most talented and spiritual ministers of
our connection. While the methods
and the surroundings may not always
have been of the best, yet the same
might be said of any public institution.
Much Improvement on these lines has
been made, and we hope to make still
greater. AS to its spiritual aspect it
is well known fact that each year, the
meeting has been signally blessed of
God in the retaining of erring ones,
and in the conversion Of sinners, some
of whom are now preaching the Gospel.
In view of the above facts, with COM
bined membership of l lob, a large per
cent. of which will probably attend the
Camp this season, what results might
we not expect, if pastors and people
should faithfully cooperate in this
effort Why should not every chris
tian III the connection make daily in.
| tercession for the success of the meet
ing ? and why should not the pastors
appoint special seasons of prayer fol-
the same? Success begun there will
continue on our respective charges, and
so every effort should be put forth, not
alone on the Camp-ground, but special
spiritual preparation should be made
beforehand. II. NJ. ROANE.

Chesapeake and Western Railroad.


The following from the Washington
Post will interest our readers, particu-
lurly those in Pocahontas county. We
are Informed by Mr.. E. S. Mooman,
who returned a few days ago from Po-
cahontas, that Ex-senator Henry q.
Davis and Senator Elkins were both in
PocahOntas when he left there last Fri
day, and it is supposed they were view
ing the route marked out for an extern
sion Of the West Virginia Central into
Pocahontas. The Post says:
Maj. Jed Hotchkiss, of Stanton, one
of the leading coal operators of the
country, spoke interestingly to Post
man at the Normandie last evening, of
the new railroad, the Chesapeake and
Western, which will connect the tide
water country of Old Virginia with the
inexhaustible coal beds of West Vir-
ginia. This road" said he, "is 60
ing to be built rs fast as men and money
can push it to completion, and in my
judgment it will be one of the best pay
ing and most useful lines in the South.
1t will start from Matthias Point on
the Potomac, and proceeding west, pass
through Fredericksburg. thence to Or.
ange, or a point near there, thence to
Elkton on the Norfolk and Western,
and thence to Harrisonburg on the Bal.
timore and Ohio, from there to Bridge
water on North river, through the
North mountains westward to Mon
terey and from there to the great COX
ing coal fields of the Gauley basin, will
a terminus at some point on the Ohio
river.
1t will thus traverse q great belt Of
unOccupied country between the 3alti
more and Ohio and the Chesapeake an(
Ohio systems, region as rich as any il
the United States in natural resources
especially in timber of every descrip
ton and the best kinds of bituminou
coal. There are strong men behind TIN
enterprise, and there will be no della
in building. A construction outfit o
fifteen cars reached Harrisonburg
few days since from Kansas, and Wi
begin work at once between that plac
and Elkton. The entire length of tn
road will be something over 800 miles
and it will give a route from the Goa
fields to deep water seventy-five mile
shorter than by any existing lines.
1t may be added that the West Vii
ginia Central and Pittsburg Railroad
in which Messrs. DAVIS, Elkins an
Kerens are interested, will be extende
= to meet the Chesapeake and Wester
) somewhere in Highland, or PocahOnta
county in West Virginia. AltogetheI
3 there is promise of more railroad az
= tivity in West Virginia than any Stat
t i'm the Union. The new line will be
g great factor in developing the unr
4 vailed resources of that State, and
b, will moreover be first-rate thing II
the city Of Washington by reason of i
9 connections with other roads at no gre
from the Capital"

County Veterans Association.

Following up a suggestion made at
the recent Grand Army camp fire at
Fort Atkinson, a meeting was held in
that city October 81, attended by rep
resentatives from each of the seven
G. A. r. posts in the county, to lnstl-
tute the Jefferson County Veteran
Soldiers association. An organization
was forthwith perfected and the follow
ing officers for the first year chosen:
President, A. r. Bechaud, Jefferson;
secretary and teasurer, George B. Crlst,
Jefferson; vice presidents, A. S. Porter,
Palmyra; Fred Kusel, Watertown;
Chauncey Stone, Waterloo; o. l.. Ray
Lake Mills; L. G. Sears, Rome; G. w.
Turner, Fort Atkinson. The objects
sought by this organization are, to pro-
mote, if possible, a greater zeal IN Grand
Army work and a closer union OF the
old soldiers of the county and sur
rounding territory, to build up the
work of the posts, and by esta ablishlnf
a central organization to provide fol
the holding of one rousing good camp
fire each year. The scheme is a most
laudable one and should meet the
hearty cooperation Of every veteran
in the county.

Apt to MisIead.

HoRlCoN, Wis, October 23.-The town
of Hubbard Is having lots of trouble in
erecting a bridge over Rock river at
this place The old bridge was con-
demned in the early part of July, and
the street leading to it has been closed
ever since. An iron bridge was put in
by Watertown company at g. cost of
nearly So ZOO. The bridge was ninety
five feet long, supported on four
cylindrical iron columns, with stone
abutments at each end One of the
abutments was built on a miry bottom
and sagged so as to spring the bridge
up in the middle. Consequently the
iron columns must be taken out, new
abutments built and the whole bridge
moved twenty feet toward the west.
This will make an additional cost of at
least 81 900 to the town.
The above item. printed as special
in last Thursdays Milwaukee Sentinel,
is misleading and does a gross in
justice to the E. Kunert Manufacture
ing company, of this city, whose past
work will bear them out as reput-
able and reliable bridge builders. The
company bad nothing to do with the
building of the stone abutments on
which the iron bridge rested, the ma
sonry having been let as a separate
contract by the town authorities The
defect was caused by the failure of the
masons to lay one of the abutments or
spiles, as the infrm condition of the
| ground warranted. Consequently new
abutments had to be properly bull
| twenty feet from the original site anC
the iron work removed to them. A
F. Baumann, of the Kunert company
was at Horizon Monday and superin
tended the removing, which was easily
! done.
