A DESERVED COMPLIMENT
Grace Van Studdiford and the Artista
Piano Player.

The letter from Madam Van Studdi-
ford, the celebrated prima donna, on
page is of special interest to the peo
pie of the tri-cities and a great and
deserved compliment to one of our
home industries. II is recognized
fact that the Artista is the king of self
| playing instruments and it is the one
piano player with the human touch. If
one were TO stop and consider what the
manufacturing of the Artista piano
player means to this community, it
would really be an interesting thing.
| There are over 5000 dealers who will
probably handle the Artista piano play
| err The company now has most excellent
start in the production of this instru-
ment, and the factory is getting in
shape to handle a very large business.
The tri-cities may yet see one of the
biggest manufacturing plants in this
section of the country in the produc-
ton of the Artista Piano Player. A
most interesting booklet showing the
merits of the Artista has. just been
published and will be sent to any adj
dress upon application. A special con-
cession in price is being made at the
present time to the people of the three
cities. Inquiries given courteous at
tention always and inspection of the
Artista may be made at Bowlbys sales
rooms. 1909 Second avenue, Rock

A Good Form of Insurance.

One of the most attractive forms
of insurance which has been pre-
sented here is that of the National
Protective Legion, of Waverly, n.
Y, which is being represented
here now by Mr.. G.. A. Shaw, of
Alexandria, the district manager
for this section.
The form of insurance is frater-
nal in character, and for the sum of
S2 per month for a period of five
years the company has been paying
$3.50 in a cash dividend, and will
no doubt continue in this generous
distribution
For those persons who desire to
carry insurance against sickness or
injury, with an added feature OF
dividends at the end of each five
years, this is an attractive PROPOSE
ton.
We have no doubt Mr.. Shaw
will eAroll a large membership here,
The Legion is open to both mel
and women, between the ages of 1S
and so.

Northern Railroad ResurreCted.

A charter was granted by the
State Corporation Commission last
Wednesday to the Northern Rail
road of Virginia.
The proposed road is to run from
a point in Frederick county across
Clarke, Loudoun, Fairfax and Alex
andria county or city to a point OPP
posite Washington or Georgetown.
Simon G. Martin, of Sparrows
Point, Md. is president and VIM.
ID. Allen is vice-president.
q. NJ. Armstrong is secretary
treasurer. Other incOrporators
are Harvey Middleton. W. A.
Mason, Frank n. Sloan. The pres
idcnt and most of the incorporators
are Baltimore men. The line will
be 100 miles long. Berryville is
named as the principal office. The
capital stock is from $4,000 to
100000, with the privilege of en-
larging the amount. The shares
will have par value of 800.
The above announcement has
created considerable interest
through this section, especially
when the great business activity of
the past year is remembered.
BY many it is believed that the
proposed Northern Railroad of Vir-
ginia has been chartered for the
purpose of securing an entrance
into Washington for the Wabash
interests.
Others seem to see in the pro-
posed line a blanket to theopera-
tions of the Winchester and Wash
ington City Electric Line.
No facts can be ascertained, but
it it very probable that the newly
chartered company has secured
possession of the maps and prelim-
mary surveys which were made
across the Blue Ridge several
years ago, and will hold them for
a possible sale To some other line
(the electric road, for instance).
The report of the mining expert
who recently spent several weeks
here investigating resources and
making assays Of minerals, is anx-
iously awaited by property owners
between Berryville and the Shenan-
dOah, and is not improbable that
some interesting and unexpected
surprises will develop from this
report.
No definite information could
be secured from the officials of the
electric company concerning the
proposed Northern Railroad, but
they do not seem at all worried
over its proximity to their right of
way.
They are rushing work at their
big Millville plant, and expect to
have the Juice in the wires very
soon.

Dir. Bryan gave no reason. The
scbuke. however, is a singing one,

b New York State. Yet the man

1t is hard to imagine two men
bore thoroughly antagonistic or

Mr.. Bryan. whatever may be
Bis faults of Judgment, is trans

Spoken, frank and loyal. He is an
Extremist. but ready always 10 take
ihe consequences of his own posi-
fions and the results, however dis
artrous they may he to himself or
his party.
From all we can gather of Mr..

fvery proposition from stand
