COURT DAY.

Monday was County Court Day and
large crowd was in town. Farmers
reported crops as doing exceedingly

OUR VISIT TO LEXINGTON.
Augusta County Argus.

Last Thursday the Argus man and
all the family except little Virginia went
to Lexington to visit our brother, the
manager of the telephone exchange
Upon arrival we found him at the sta
ton with a carriage and our party, with
Miss Leta Watts, were driven to the
principal points of interest in this pleas
ant old Virginia town Of pretty resi-
dences with lovely lawns, handsome
men and pretty women, fine State COL
lege buildings and beautiful natural
scenery.
We saw the recumbent statue in spot
less white marble of Robert E. Lee that
we saw unveiled fifteen years ago in the
memorial chapel, under which sleep the
remains of the great chieftain and his
wife and daughter; the heroic bronze
statue of "Stonewall'' Jackson standing
on granite pedestal in the beautiful
getty of the Dead" the Office of Lee,
with the quaint old furniture, its books
and the table at which he sat, his pen
and inkstand, his big arm chair and
papers lying just as he left them when
last he quit the room; the objects OF
wonder and interest in the museum OF
Washington and Lee University, the
campus of the Virginia Military Insti-
tute, with the cadets drilling on the one
side and the tents of camp pitched on
the other; the elegant Jackson memorial
hall, the fine residences of Prof. Harry
Tucker, President Wilson, Rev. DR..
Quarles, Hon. G. D. Letcher, Frank I.
Glasgow and others; the elegant new
county courthouse with its modern i'm.
provements and facilities, which cost
only $4,000, where we met Judge
Houston, County Clerk Shields, Circuit
Court Clerk Witt and others, all OF
whom were found to be very pleasant
gentlemen. Young Mr.. Walker showed
us through the courthouse.
We inspected the central office OF the
Mutual Telephone Company, whose
1OO-drop switch board is now full,
where we were entertained by the
manager and his operator, Miss Louise
Fuller, and later met her three sisters,
one brother and their mother, all OF
whom contributed to the pleasure OF
our visit, Our party had a very enjoy
able stay in the "Athens OF Virginia"
and will be glad to repeat the visit when
occasion offers.

TOR twenty. three years from 1860 to 1888,
IL wheat brought considerably over one
dollar bushel In New York city, ranging In
price during those years from 31.l6 to $2.4l.
We now have had fifteen years Of starvation
prices for the farmers, and aside from war II
Ia time for q change In favor Of the farmer,
and he may safely expect better prices for
some years to come. Horses have advanced
rs to so per cent. in Chicago and such centers.
This advance should be felt right here. Po-
tatoes, onions and beans will bring fancy
prices so long as the war lasts. and every
farmer should plant good patch OF each.

The merit Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
L. EIaxoN.r urriffnn in blood

The merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla
Is literally written in blood.
II is traced in the vital fluid
OF millions of the human rice.
Its positive medicinal merit
And curative power is written
Upon the hearts, and craven upon
The minds of thousands
OF people whom it has cured
And given good health
When there seemed nothing before
Them but darkness and despair.
1t cures all diseases arising
From or promoted BY impure
Blood by its intrinsic merit as
The One True Blood Purifier.

MANY friends of Hon. Royal A. Johnson have been bringing to bear upon the gentleman a strong pres sure to stand for the republican nomination for sheriff of Pima county. MT. Johnson had pledged himself to support Captain Hale and he has felt delicate about per hitting the use of his name. But his friends have refused to take mo" for an answer, and have brought him out against his will. This week an announcement ap- pears in the column devoted to such cards, which THE OASIS is free to say comes without knowledge of MT. Johnson himself, but it is authorized and paid for by a num- Der of his personal and political friends. MT. Johnson would make a very strong candidate and would be surely elected. He is one of the strongest men in Pima county. His record as United States Sur veyor General in exposing the Per alta grant fraud has made him a host of friends in all parties, and his incumbency in the office of county treasurer has shown him an ideal official. Although against his will he is being strongly pushed by many energetic friends as the most likely candidate to draw strength to the ticket and insure success.

THE EMPRESS COMPANY AND THE
 STAMP TAX.

THE OASIS is in receipt of an elaborate, printed argument from the personal friend of the editor, Mir. John J. Valentine, president of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, going to show why the shipper should stand the internal revenue stamp tax upon express shipping receipts. Which is all very well and good; but before expecting his argument to have much weight in this part of the world MT. Valen- tine should show why his company has not exacted from shippers over the company's lines in Mexico the stamp tax there levied by the government of that republic. In Mexico all express receipts are required by law to have affixed a one cent revenue stamp, and the express office invariably affixes the stamp without charging the ship per. That has been the case four years to which THE OASIS can tes- tify. As express charges are much 1ovver ;,, Maxi0c tho,, ,,, t1,a ITn,+aJ States, and paid in depreciated sil- yer at that, 1t would seem that Wells, Fargo & Go. could stand the tax of one cent upon each shipping receipt given in the United States far more readily than the one cent tax it has always paid in Mexico, without any attempt to shift the burden upon the public.

Delayed Trains.

Monday evening the track of the Sonora railway at Moreno station about forty miles from Guaymas, was severely damaged by heavy wash out, and trains were unable to cross before Wednesday. Tuesday the track of the N. NJ. & A. railway in Sonoita canon was again washed out. and the train due to leave that eve ming was annuled. Wednesday morn. ing work train was sent up the road. and it was reported that a train left Benson for Nogales during the after noon, but it failed to get through
 Wednesday evening two trains ar- rived from the south, one about five o'clock the other about three hours later The train for Benson was again annuled Wednesday evening, but started out as an extra about seven o'clock Thursday morning. At that time the wires were down and it was not known whether the train would get through or not; but many impatient travellers took passage and went along. In the afternoon they returned from Calabasas with the re- port that the track was, ,evered worse than ever and an engine ditched Thursday morning another train from the south arrived about day light, and train for the north was prepared to leave, but did not get away until o'clock D. n. At that time it was reported that it would get through to Benson by evening
 About five o'clock yesterday evening the long wait terminated and the train got away. About midnight a train arrived from the north with mail-the first since Tuesday.

Elsewhere local notice conveys the intelligence that Mrs. Ernestine Gray Lulley will instruct a few pupils upon the piano, the organ, or in vocal music. Mrs. Lulley is a finished musician-a university graduate and a most successful teacher of the divine art. She was several years court organist at the royal palace of Queen Lilioukalani, of Hawaii, and has enjoyed worldwide acquaint- ance in musical circles and a wide ex- perience in her art. As she speaks not only English, but French and Spanish also, the advantages of her experience and tuition are closed to none.

wrong direction. Could he have been SO driven he would have ac- quiesced in recognition of the Cuban republic coincidently with declara- tion of war against Spain; and into a pretty mess it would have plunged the American government and people.
 Professor Mommsen is among those who fear to trust the people; and it is upon the doctrines of such thinkers that rest all monarchism. But the intelligent American public can be trusted implicitly in all matters ef public import, and their real leaders, like Lincoln and Mckinley, realize that fact perfectly.
