MIddIebrook and Newport Farmers
Association.


Association.
At meeting at Middlebrook on Tuesday
the 18th instant, a farmers association to be
known as the Middlebrook and Newport
Farmers Association was organized by the
election of Mr.. J. Frank Clemmer as Presi-
dent; Mr.. Thomas Nj. Smiley as Vice-Presi-
dent; and Mr.. John H. Bowman as Secretary
From the action of this Association on the
question of legislation for the improvement
of the county roads, it will be seen that it
does not agree with that of the Fishersville
Farmers Club on that question.
The Association appointed committee to
report resolutions to be sent to the representa-
tives of this county in the Legislature express
ing the views in the Association on the road
question, which committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions which were unanimously
adopted
| Resolved, That an earnest protest be made
against the action of the Fishersville Farmers
Club in their demand that the delegates of
Augusta county in the legislature should be
roads bill.
We believe there is nothing more conducive
to the interests Of our county and State than
the adoption of q system that will give our
people that which all unselfish and public
spirited citizens of our country are DESTROYS of
obtaining. The world is moving and with its
advance good roads must come and we do
most emphatically approve of any effort that
will give us the desired boon.
| We therefore respectfully and earnestly ask
in behalf of good proportion of the largest
tax payers of this district (RiYerheads), that
our representatives will as progressive men in
terest themselves in and strive for the enact
lief to the mud-bound citizens of our great
commonwealth.
| Resolved ALSO That in our judgement adj
dendum should be added to such good roads
law as may be enacted which will require a
gradual change from the common narrow
tired wagons to the broad tire on the roads i'm
proved by the acceptance of the provisions of
the law as enacted.

beautiful petition for the recovery of Miss
Letitia Donahue, lady who was supposed to
be lying at the point of death at Mr.. Swinks
as the meeting opened.
Just before the close of the sermon gentle
man entered the church, walked down the
| aisle and handed the minister note. A few
moments afterwards, the choir rendered the
last hymn and the benediction was about to
be pronounced, when the young pastor, whose
voice trembled with evident emotion, an
nounced that Miss Donahue had died during
the services, and her soul had gone to meet its
God. The funeral was held on Monday after
noon at Mr.. q. L. Swink's, at o'clock. In

A good many quiet negotiations, and plan

with the probability of some startling de-
