Stsunton, Va.--An Interesting Dis
covery has just been made near Staun-
ION by John II. May Of Mount Sidney,
who, after search Of ten days, has
located the cornerstone marking the
extreme northern boundary line Of the
original Beverly survey, which in
cluded the whole of the city Of Staun-
ton and about half OF Augusta county.
The search has been going on for
many years, as the stone frequently is
mentioned in deeds. and its discovery
will doubtless unravel many tangles
in the farm boundaries OF the neigh
borhood. 1t had been covered over by
a landslide
The original Beverly manor grant
was made to William Beverly on
Sept. 8, 1888, by king George III. Of
England and the deed was counter
signed by William Geoch, then COVER
nor of the colony of Virginia. 1t men
toned 1881 acres, or nearly 200
square miles of territory.

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE

| ( y 4,
Marsh & Heilig, proprietors Of the
brick blacksmith shop have installed
a machine that runs by a crank to
take the nuts of of the felloes OF bug
gy wheels and put them on again. All
blacksmiths know what a tedious Job
it is to remove them with a wrench and
put them on again after the tire is
set, and this machine does it with
lightning rapidity and saves time
enough to be quite an item in the
job. Another part Of the machine
clips on the end Of the bolt after the
nut is drawn tight, leaving smooth
er, strong finish.
They have also installed large
new drill and a three-deck case Of
dies for cutting threads.

LOCAL OPTION PANIC

The time is near for the "wets'
to raise the cry Of depression in bus
mess if the county goes dry" They
will soon be saying that It will dis
turb business; that population will
decrease in the county by reason OF
people leaving; that taxes will be
higher and there will be less incentive
for people to own property, and alto
gether It will be the first great step
toward chaos. Certain sound. bus
Mess men will be making the state
ment that II the county goes dry they
will close up this or that or the other
industry because It will have no
chance to succeed, and everybody who
can be scared by such bug-a-boo
D talk will be disturbed az much as pos
sible. A year ago there was talk in
Boise, Of erecting very large hotel,
the money to be furnished by q stock
company made up largely OF eastern
people whose representatives was
quoted as saying that II q local option
law was going to be enacted his
clients would not advance money for
the enterprise, and that scared lots
OF people. The local option law was
enacted, and the big hotel Is going
up as fast as men and money can
build 1t.
People at Nampa feel great pride in
the Dewey Palace hotel, and whatever
affects 1t affects all Nampa just as If
! they could not live without it. The
proprietor is saying now that II the
county goes dry he will close the
Dewey Palace. That is sufficient for
Nampa, and they are much disturb
ed. The Dewey Palace has a bar, and
Nampa recoils from the thought Of
closing It and the hotel.
But Mr.. Dewey will close his hotel
Just like one Of our early settlers at
Blackfoot carried out threat he
made here twenty four years ago.
Nickels and dimes came into use In
business transactions, and he did not
like to consider anything less than
"two-bits." He said It was getting
to be too much like the old penny
squeezing east, and that II pennies
ever came Into use here he, would
leave the country. A bystander re-
marked that when pennies came into
use In Blackfoot, he would be just as
particular to get his as.anybody and
the prediction has proven true.
Il Mr.. Steele, travelling salesman
who was in town Monday, stated that
ne was in Ohio and Indiana when the
agitation Of the liquor question was
at Its height, and on his circuit there
were scores of retail grocers who
could barely keep from being closed
out by the wholesale houses. They
had dragged along year after year
doing a credit business and losing
heavily on their accounts. The "wets"
held up to them the awful picture of
failure in business If the country went
dry, and dry 1t went The wholesale
houses watched the effect with inter-
est, and soon found remittances in
creasing from these same merchants
who had been facing failure so long.
They steadily reduced the balances
until they could discount their bills,
and as class, repudiated the old bug
a-boo argument Of business depres-
sion.
