Lexington, Va, July ga striking
reminder of the madness that tilled
mems minds l6 years ago; OF the
blighted hopes, wrecked homes and
shattered fortunes of those who ex-
pected to see this valley converted into
vast manufacturing district, teeming
with busy workmen, and who staked
their all upon the realization of the
dream, will be given here in October,
V hen Rockbridge county will hold a
bargain sale of its boom lots.
At least 1000 separate parcels of
land will bc Knocked down at auction
to the highest bidder in front ofthe
courthouse door, and the sale will last
until all the lots are disposed ST.
These lots We're bought in by the
Commonwealth for taxes that were
never paid. Some of the lots were
bought by individuals at the time they
were sold, by paying the taxes and ex-
penses attached, but the great majority
went TO the State through the County
Treasurer, as no one wanted the lots.
The lots are located principally about
Buena Vista, Glasgow and Goshen
The annual taxes were small at the
the time-l5 or l6 years ago and since
that time, although the State bought
them in, the taxes have continued to
accumulate until in some instances
they amount to more than the lots are
worth. They were allowed to remain
open and have been used by the public
as pasturage for cattle.
c1The auction will be under the super
vision of County Treasurer Samuel r.
Moore, who will report the sales to the
Circuit Court for confirmation, and
unless some impropr charge can be
shown to have been made in the assess
ment of the taxes, deed will be given
four months after the sale and within
one year, which will be entered on rec
ord by the County Clerk and the own
er given clear title to the property.
From now until the sale the owners
can redeem their property by paying
up all taxes and charges. The sale will
attract large gathering, owing to the
novelty. and in some instances the
value of some of the lots to be sold.

Labor win. a victory

Washington, July ia.-Aetion Of
great importance to labor organizations
is contemplatedin an instruction given
by the President 10 officers in charge
of public works. The Governments
own officers ara directed to detect and
punish violations Of the law of ls92 pro
viding that, except In An emergency,
work upon Government buildings,
ships and other properties shall be
limited to eigh, hours each day Tor
each workman,
An effort was made by the forces OF
organized labor during the last session
Of Congress to secure legislation to this
end, but so effective was the opposi-
ton of the great contracting firms that
adjournment was had without any
action upon the pending bill
Heretofore 1t has been the practice
Of executive officers, when complaint
was made by labor uniens that the
Eight Hour law was being violated by
contractors building ships, constructs
ing public buildings, engaged In DIVER
and harbor works aud other public
enterprises, TO reply that 1t WAS
not their business; that the law was
binding upon the contractors, and that
II the labor unions felt aggrieyed and
knew Of violations of the law they
themselves should proceed legal y
against the offenders.

Missed the Train.

Last week when Herr Stock, super
intendent of the Holly Sugar COM
rany's local factory, had made all ar
rangements to go east on No. E that
particular train was SO rude as to run
on time and thus he did not awaken
in time to get off
Arrangements had to be made for
the stopping of No. 4, which was
easy enough in itself But when that
latter-named train pulled in and
stopped every member of the train
crew either got off or stuck head
out OF the window to see what distin-
pushed parsonage was about to
board the flyer, The boys in the
sugar and railway Offices saw him off
and lost no opportunity to refer to
him as baron" in their adieus. In
tones that were intended to be heard
by the trainmen they referred to
forthcoming marriage and on Mon
day they sent the following telegram
to the hotel in New York at which
he would stop when he should arrive
there:
Baron Rudolph Stock: Just one
more farewell. Be careful. Prosit.
(Signed) The Bunch.
lust imagine the motions the clerk
of that New York hotel went thru
when he handed that telegram to Su-
pe:intendent Stock upon his arrival
there and then assigned him to the
best room in the house with a little
extra in the price, perhaps.
Mr.. Stock has wcll-earn.d repu-
ta.ion among the boys here as vo.
calist. His rendition of some of the
melodies of the mother country, ac-
companied by other voices especially
suited to those sweet strained notes,
is su, erb.

A Fine Crop.

+. F. Hughes, who is farming the
Hughes Bros ranch, has a tcn-acre
patch of beets that we think are the
clesnest and best in every way Of any
that it has been our fortune to view
this year.
These have been planted on old al
falfa land and the stand is not only
very uniform. but the plants all seem
to be large and healthy. If he doesn't
clean up the price of another ten acres
of ground this year we will be. very
much surprised. z
There are many other farmers who
will do equally as well out in that
section of the country.

Holly Represented in Congress.

Last weeks Sparks put the name of
Col. w. NJ. Wiley before the people
as possible candidate on the Dem

ded: Colonel Wiley would be an able
champion of the interests OF Cobra
do, and especially those of the Ar
kansas valley, in the nations con-
gress, and if he secured the nomina-
ton he would give story teller Hogg
the race of his life. In story tell
ing match it is a question if the val
