First Glass Uptown Restaurant.

For the first time in years StauntOn
has an up town restaurant-The Shen-
andoah Cafe. really nice place that
ladies and gentlemen can patronize at
any hour of the day or night. This
convenience supplies long felt need.
The cafe is located on the corner Of
Main and New Sts., and is in the old
stand where was Olivier's book store.
1t is therefore not only an up town
restaurant, but is located on Main st.
and in the shopping district of the
city. Its exterior and interior have
been reprinted, repapered and furnish
ed complete, making very attractive
and inviting place. The service is
strictly first class, and the bill of fare
contains everything that the best city
markets afford and all at moderate
prices Staunton has never had res
taurant that so fully merits the pat
ronage of the public. Mr.. j. 2. Davis
of the Eakleton Hotel, is proprietor,
and Mr.. A. s. J. Wheeler, is the gen
eral manager in charge.

The c. ". Railway.

The G. w. Railway has now it's rails
laid as far as Mt. Scion and already
freight is being shipped in car load
lots from Messy Creek Station. The
delay in obtaining rails was caused by
the inability of the company to get
cars to haul them and this was only
overcome by sending their own cars
to J0hnstown and bringing the rails
down. 1t is confidently expected that
a very active movement will be seen
along the line in the spring, as the
engineers are busily at work in several
places. This company has made the
first actual demonstration as to cost
and route of railway through High
land into Pocahontas yet made. 1t
was always believed that road could
be built at not too great cost on the
route proposed, but no actual survey
was ever before made. The cost from
the mouth of the tunnel at N orth River
Gap to Frost, in Pocahontas county,
w. Va, is now pretty well known, at
least very accurate estimate can be
made from the data in hand. This
is an immense work in itself. If any
one does not believe the statement he
should go into the Office of the COM
pany at Harrlsonburg and see what
such survey means. Then the next
step will be rights of way. The per-
SONS who own the lands over which
the road is to pass can do much for
themselves, and their county, and
neighborhood, If, when these are ask
ed, they will act with liberality. A
hide bound, stingy policy has often
driven railroads out of sections and
towns, to the great loss OF the people.
1t is not safe thing to say that 'the
road will be built anyhow" especially
over so heavy country as Highland.
II it is built the person whose property
it passes over is generally benefited.
If it is not built he Is not injured even
if he grants right of way. Highland

with this enterprise that they will act
literally, and if they do they may see
work going on in fine style next. sum-
mer. If, however, delays because of
illiberality or narrow policies follow,
work may not be begun, and before the
trouble is overcome some change In
the financial condition of the country
may make it impossible to begin at all.
There is nothing like striking while
the iron is hot, and Highland county |
land owners should appreciate this
fact, and it is believed they do.
The sale which occurred few days |
ago of the w. Va. Central to the Penn |
sylvania Ry., forever dislel the |
prospect of that road building east,
so that the people of Highland must
look to the G. W. if they ever get
through that county.

No Spring Elections in the Counties.

The adoption of the amendment to
the Constitution abolishing the spring
election of county officials will have
the effect of curtailing the terms of
those officials if the new Constitution
is not adopted. Officials elected at the
election last spring will go out of office
next fall, according to the belief of
many, though there are some who
think that the terms will be extended
until the fall of next year. It is a
question whether the terms will expire
the fall before or the fall afterwards.
Some of the terms are for two and some
for four years.
The amendment to the Constitution
will not affect the elections in the
cities. But there will be no more
spring elections in the counties, wheth
er the new Constitution is adopted or
rejected, for the convention proposes
to do away with the two elections in
one year. The amendment to the pres
ent Constitution, adopted by the peo-
pie last fall, does away with spring
elections in the counties.
