W. A. TURK ELECTED.

President of the American Association.
On Wednesday last at st. Louis W. A.
Turk was elected President OF the American
Association OF passenger agents. This as
ISOLATION represents the principle railways
of the United States, Canada and Mexico.
OF the election the Washington Post of
the 21st. says
"The general passenger agents of the
country, in national convention assembled,
yesterday paid deserved tribute to distin-
guished merit and at the same time honOred
themselves by electing as President of their
passenger agent of the Southern Railway
Company. Mr.. Turk has for some time past
been Vice President Of the organization, but
at their meeting, in the Southern Hotel, st.
Louis, they yesterday promoted him to the
first place. They could not have chosen q
better man.
William A. Turk is we'll known in Wash
ington. He was born in Augusta county,
Va, and educated at Roanoke College. in
tn same State. In 1877 he entered the rail-
way service of the Richmond and Danville
Company. From 1877 to 1882 he was travel
ing passenger agent. From September, 1889,
to June, 1883. he was general Southwestern
passenger agent From July, 1883, to Sep
TENDER, 1887. he was assistant general freight
and passenger agent in charge of the West
ern North Carolina division. From Septem-
Der. 1887, to August, 1891, he was division
freight and passenger agent in charge of the
main line from Charlotte to Goldsborough,
N. e.. and after that, until July. 1892, as
sistant general passenger agent at Char
lOtte. In July, 1892. he became general
passenger agent for the entire Richmond
and Danville system, and in June. 1894,
when the Richmond and Danville was merg-
ed into the Southern Railway. be kept the
same position which he has held ever since,
and holds to-day, to the entire satisfaction
of the company and of the travelling public.
His career, therefore. has been one of
steady progress and promotion-a succession
Of steps upward with NO record of insecure
footing OF episodes Of retrogression. He has
risen on his merits as an officer, combined
with those gifts Of personal temperament
which endear men to their associates and
make thousands rejoice in their success
Everybody who has come in contract with
Mr.. Turk, whether in his professional or in
dividual capacity, will be glad to hear Of
the new distinction which has fallen to his
lot"

B SOMETHING
B ABOUT
; WATCHESI

During the last month the.
different watch companies
have increased the price on all
grades of their watches. We
anticipated this move on the
part of the manufacturers, and
bought largely of the ELGIN
and WALTHAM and other
makes, before their increase in
price. This will enable US to
continue to sell our watches at
the same low prices as hereto
fore. We will not increase our
prices, but, on the contrary,
will be enabled to sell them a
little cheaper on account of
the extra discount which we
secured by buying such a large
bill of them at one time.
We have about three hun
and fifty (watches) now from
which to make a selection, and
we think the time is opportune
for intending purchasers.

ROMAN, VA.


Oct. 1Sth.-As the papers of Staunton have
had no communication from Roman for
some time and as the apostle of the quill is
evidently off on vacation or otherwise oc-
cupied will venture to give few items
from this part of the county. Farmers are
nearly. if not quite, all done seeding, but
wheat is making but little show owing to
the continued drouth. The health of the
community is generally good, though there
are some cases of diphtheria reported A
child of John Landes. of near Salem Church
has been very near deaths door with that
fatal malady, but is now much improved,
also one of our energetic, kind heart
ed, blacksmith's, %. E. Cave). Children is
now confined to the house owing to some
throat trouble. Apple picking and apple
packing is now all the go. The apple crop
here is not as large as was expected, owing
to the rapid dropping and rotting.
Hon. Pat McCaull, who claims to be the
candidate Of some party, we don't know
what, was in Staunton Monday and proposed
a joint discussion with Mr.. Montague. OF
course this was declined. He then held a re-
ception in the law Office Of Mr.. Turner K.
Hackman. where he had things his own way,
as few disturbed him even to shake hands.
The News which usually speaks knowingly
about Republican matters says:
"Col. 0. B. Roller, candidate for attorney
general on the same ticket, came up from
Harrisonburg Monday afternoon on his way
to Clifton Forge, and met Capt. McCaul here.
He had just been speaking at Warrenton, Al
exandria and other points in North Virginia,
and reported an excellent feeling and enthu-
siasm for the ticket among the Republican
brethren"
This is the first we have heard of Col. O. B.
Roller being candidate for atty. gen. on any
ticket. Things are surely mixed when the
Ne,os gets Republican affairs twisted.
