LOST VALLEY

The farmers of this section are in
very low spirits in regard to their crops;
from what we learn we are in greater
need of rain than the neighboring dis
tricts, We not having had a rain that
reached the roots of the corn, vegeta-
bles etc. since Whit Monday The best
turn ont of wheat, 80 far "a we have
learned, was Mr.. y. j. Elsea's crop,
averaging in fraction of sixteen bush
els 10 the acre.
We have been asked 10y citizen of
Berryvlle. our opinion in regard TO the
bridges We would be glad to have
them spanning our beautiful Shenan-
dOah in the course of another twelve
months. Ii is very true they would not
benefit us very much in crossing the
to the fame of our already famous
county. our vote Is this: 20 TO work
with hands using tools necessary for
their erection, letting the pen and
tongue rest on this matter Were
done with it,, hold! no we will pay our
share of the tax. Let them be toll
bridges. please.
And now To the road question; the
roads are bad. very bad, along the river,
but were not blaming the overseers, for
they usually do their part but they have
not enough funds. As an example, Twill
relate little anecdOte told me by Mr..
Elsea, ON last Wednesday. lie and his
wife visited the latters brother, Mr..
Dewar, at "lslaad Farm" lie says;
"The roads were very rough, and
seemed 20 get rOugher. At Whiting 5
lane, Just below Tillhammer Mills, l
thought it best to get out of my buggy
and walk, as had already broken my
buggy in two or three places. | walked
few steps, and the first article of
clothing found was shoe, a few steps
further found stocking" Now we
know that was rough road when ii
shook the shoes and stockings oil the
wayfarers feet. Mrs Eisea is still al
Mr. Dewar's waiting for the roads to
improve so she may be able to return
home.
Something very unusual happened
on the late Vincent ParShall farm las
week. Three threshing machines wer,
at work there. two Of them in motion
thrashing at the same time, one on eacl
side of the fence and blowing straw L
the same stack.

him / learned to know him. and
never knew a man of stronger
convictions, greater honesty of
purpose, or man who was
oftene- right, than Leonard A,
Rosing. He is prudent , cautious
conservative. There is notIing
revolutionary or unsafe in his
character, but when he has made
his mind that he is right, there is
no more determined man. He is a
student and he is conservative,
but he is far from being narrow or
hidebound, Heis broad minded.
fair and and courageous. He
will make you grand governor

hope you will.

A campaign Of mendacity and
malice, of phrase-mongering and
misleading matter, characterizes
the republican county campaign
just closing: 1t is not likely that
such tactics can prevail. This is
not 1894; there are no factional
fights in the democratic party.
The dearly bought experience of
republican officers which led the
people to throw out the crowd,
has taught the citizens that brag
and buster make poor indications
of honest administration.
