[Reported for the staunton V1NDIcAToRl
Churchville Va, Sept 16.-We are hav-
ing cool, dry weather at present; a few days
ago we had some very warm weather fOr
the time of the year. Last Sunday week, we
had the hardest rain that has fallen here
for years. 1t was but a short time until
the dust began to fly in our streets, owing
to the constant passing OF vehicles OF var
ious kinds, more especially wagons from the
counties west of this.
If Staunton had trade from the other
directions, as from the counties to the
westward, she must have had a stirring
time in business. All the batter [ think,
for whatever builds up the county town is
of advantage to the county. Ii Staunton
prospers, the county shares in the prosper
ity. Apple butter making, and corn cut
ting is the order of the day, out this way
at this time. Mr.. Eph Bears cider mill
is kept going late and early. The dry
weather prevents the farmers, from getting
their land ready for their fall seeding. but
is favorable for securing their corn crop.
