COMMITTEE.
Louis Myers of the firm Of Myers
& Houseman Of Baltimore heavy
dealers in and importers Of cattle
died few days ago at his home in
that city. The firm is known to
all shippers in this section. The
death of another big cattle dealer
occurred ea~ly in this month, being
David Stoner of York, Pa. who was
also known to our dealers.
Mr. Ervine's corps Of the c. W. is
still camped in town. They have
connected the line up this valley
with the one running through
Crabbottom to Hightown and are
now at work on the Doe Hill line
by way of Samples divide. Mr..
Ervine is very pleasant gentle
man and for this reason we were
not surprised to learn that he is
very closely related to some of
Highland county's good people, his
mother being a native Of the coun-
ty, aud sister of Mrs J f Clendenen
Of Green Hill.
The ladies should be very much
!. encouraged in their effort to raise
money for the cemetery fence, The
net proceeds from the two lawn
parties last week was S48 81. This
amount with what has been raised
by private subscription will not
fall so very far short of what is nee
essary to enclose the grounds with
nice, durable iron fence. Those
who have subscribed to this fund
are requested to hand their amounts
to Mrs H Trimb Treasurer, not
later than Aug. 18th.
Maj Byrd, Supt of the S & P rad
we believe is in favor Of making a
small cut in the toll rates on the
pike, especially in the two items
of 2 horse wagon, 30 cents. and
a 2 horse carriage 30 cents. Under
the present management, on ac-
count of the permanent work that
has been done, it requires less mon
ev each year to go over the road
and get it IN shape. Last year tif-
teed dollars per mile was expended,
this year Mr. Rexrode went YER it
for fourteen. The road is now oct
of lelt and if the Board crn help
the man who wagons we are sure
it would be appreciated. for the
man who hauls goods from Staun-
ton here works hard for what he
earns.
Mr.. W A Beverage thinks he will,
beyond the shadow of doubt. get
a railroad if none of his neighbors
are so highly favored, for, up to
this writing, four separate and dis
t.nct lines baye been run through
his three acre oat field. MIR. Bev-
prage was a little worried about
having his little patch Of oats 50
badly treated, but we have an idea
that he came around alright when
he thought how easily he could, a
little later on, dump the product Of
that field into a car and have it
whisked off to market in jiffy.
The Recorder becomes more and
more convinced that Highland will
soon be blessed with a rail road.
