The Notes to Writs.


A girl need not he II brilliant writer
to send ont pleasing wedding notes.
What is needed is sincere gratitude.
gracefully but not gushingly expressed.
Overpraise is almost rs annoying as
Indifference.
Never be guilty Of a set form; your
friends are sure to compare notes and
laugh over ready letter writer effects.
Aim to give the individual touch. to
introduce the few words that make
the sender realize that she is really
being thanked. not a job lot Of givers.
1t is customary to include your tiance
in thanking for Il wedding present.
Though the gift comes to the girl. it IL
actually for both and should be so
acknowledged.
1t Is also the custom to tell your
friends you will be glad to have them
come in and see your presents. This
IS particularly necessary when there
Is to be no reception and you are to
live out Of town. Set hours may be
mentioned il you do not wish to be
bothered with a run of visitors
Many brides write notes to their own
friends and work Il substitute for the
friends of their husbands This is a
great mistake. since strangers have
often no other way to judge the bride
than by her note Of thanks.

AUTOMOBILE FOR MAIL ROUTE.

The statement made last week
that Mr.. James Cross had given an
order for an automobile for service
on the Staunton-to-Monterey line
has been confirmed, and the ma
chine will be on duty in two or
three weeks. The purchase was
through a Staunton agency, and
the machine, a Crawford, is to be
ffty-horse power, specially con-
structed for the business. Our in
formation is to the effect that Mr..
Cross is we'll protected by a guar
antee, and the car is to be of Spas
senger capacity, and to do the
work winter and summer.
AS most of us know, this is one
Of the longest star routes in Virgin
ia-45 miles, across four mountains
and the result of the experiment
is awaited with much interest.
Mr.. Cross has had the contract
for carrying the mails on this line
for twenty years, and, taken as a
whole, his service has been excel
lent. Now, that the age OF the
world demands more comfortable
and rapid transportation, he has
determined to supply it, and his
patrons commend him for his en-
terprise,
As a matter of course, sensible
people expect no more as to the
outcome of the experiment than
can be reasonably looked for in the
face of the many adverse condi-
tons, but if the new car can be
made to do service in winter time,
with the extremes of snow, ice and
mud excepted, it will be a grand
innovation. and ought to satisfy.
The time has come or is near at
hand, when the people of our isolat-
ed section expect and are bound to
have this modern means of trans
portation, and in determining the
basis on which it is to be estab-
lished means much to the people as
to Mr.. Cross, whose mail line has
for years afforded accommodation
for passengers and baggage.
1t has a bearing on the future Of
the turnpike, as well, because, as
the introduction Of automobiles is
the precursor of better roads every
where, just so it will DO here.
Highland will sanction Mr.. Cross
move, commend him for bis enter
prise, and hope for gilt-ege results,
but within the bounds of reason
and common sense.
