poned n contemplated trip over
Route No. B long enough to give
| your readers meager discrip-
tion of Rockbridge and its general
support.
Rockbridge is beautiful little
lvillage of perhaps four or five
hundred, situated on the Hooking
river bottoms, some seven miles
west of Logan and on the Hooking
Valley railroad. 1t is very busy
village, intact, it is very stren-
uous business competitor to Logan
and her suburb, Lancaster.
Rockbridge boasts of two
churches, United Brethren, pre-
sided over by Rev. j. o. Geiger
and Advent Christian with Elder
Wesley McBroom in charge. These
churches have large and grow
ing membership, very devout and
attentive, and abundantly finan-
cially able to meet her demands.
The schools are equal to those
of the city, are graded and are un-
der the jurisdiction of Prof. G. b.
Huls as principal. Miss Clara
Nunemaker of Logan, has charge
of the intermediate department,
and Miss Clara Rulon of Logan,
has charge of the primary depart
ment. With the able supervision
of Prof. Huls and the efficient SER
vice of the Misses Nunemaker and
Rulon, both Logan products, the
schools cannot help but rank
A. l.
The village has one physician,
DR.. W. H. Lee very able and
accommodating gentleman, who
enjoys very lucrative practice.
He is very active, enterprising
and public spirited, who commands
and has the respect of the entire
village.
The village Industries are few
but valuable. The Central Silica
Company has possibly the lead.
This company quaries and crushes
sand rock and produces the very
highest grade of sand for glass
purpose. The sand is washed and
dried and shipped to the various
glass factories. The plant en-
ploys quite number of hands at
first class wages, and with existing
conditions are unable to meet the
demands; although shipping from
30 to 30 cars per week.
The Rockbridge Cement and
Latb Company is a good second,
not only in patronage but in num-
ber of employees. They pay
the very highest wages for ex-
pert labor and enjoy frst-class
financial standing. They, too,
are unable to meet the demands
for cement and lath. The COMP
any proposes to increase the ca
pacity of their plant commensurate
with their growing demands and
it promises to be one of the larg-
st and most profitable industries
IN the Hooking Valley. Mr.. Amos
Carpenter is the general manager
of the company and the rapid
growing demands demons trated his
efficiency.
David Smith and L. S. Matthias
are the village blacksmiths, and
are taxed to their utmost in ham,
mering out the work demanded
of them. They do all kinds of
smithing and vehicle repairing
and are making money hand over
fist.
John Inboden, builder and con-
tractor, has his hands full and has
not an idle moment. He is an ex-
pert stone mason, has a fine repu-
tion as a builder, and generally
does everything in sight.
Horton d Goss, the jolly stock
buyers are doing land office busi-
ness. They buy, sell and ship
cattle, hogs and sheep; tell you
good story, feed their horses out
OF your manger, eat up everything
you have on your table and go
from you, leaving a good impress
sion. They are just as liberal in
prices as they are ravenous in their
appetites, and not only have
good trade but enjoy the best of
regulations, both financially and
socially.
