what win 1t BE Four Years
From Now?

IF the demand for Doodle among
a class of voters increases, at the
election four years from now, it will
be very difficult to get a man with
either self-respect or money to ac-
cept the nomination of either par
ty for county office. 1t has been
bad enough for years, but all will
agree that it was much worse in this
county this year than eevr before.
That n little money can be used
properly will not be denied, but the
system of bleeding every candidate
from the time of his nomination
until election day, which has grown
up III this county, is simply de
plorable. If not dollar had been
used by either side the result
would not have been materially
changed. We have not reached
the conclusion that our voters c,n
be purchased, but as each side does
il, both have ii to do, andn certain
class of voters demand it, If a
halt can ~ called it is time to do
it. Let the wise heads of all par
ties get together and see if some
thing cannot be done.

LURAY, Va. May 26, 1896.
The new Jail just built by the Manly
Manufacturing Company, of Georgia, is
completed and stands ready for occu-
pancy, but halt has been called and
the prospect is that Page will have a
full-hedged law suit upon its hands as
the result. The price as charged
reaches nearly $l4 900, sum so largely
in excess Of what was expected that our
board of supefv> + declined 10 accept
it and pay SO large sum. As usual
the company is fgnliag from beaind +,
long list of extra work done, changes N
plans and o. her matters AS first agreed
upon the cost was to have been 81, 900.
There is great complaint as to the
work of the new jail. The roof and
floors are a combination OF broken
bricks, sand and cement of fgreat weight,
but as charged by many so inferior as
to be worthless. Part OF the brick work
is also looked upon as defective, having
been doae in freezing weather. The
cells aud cages are all right, the build
ing is fire proof, and as it stands looks
well and is 40 ornament to our town.
What will be the result IS hard TO tore-
tell. In the meantime our prisoners
are kept at Berryville and Front Royal.
Newton Kibler, charged with the
murder of his uncle, Willis d. kibler.
on election day last fall, will be tried

1t will be remembered that Newton, on
November 5, notified his neighbors that
he found his uncle outside the kitchen
with his head horribly shot, his
throat cut and his skull broken in
at dusk and that be carried the body In
