new DAIRY ENTERPRISE
STARTED BY jill. C. CRASTY
One ofMost Modern and Complete
in This Part of Virginia

One of the county's newest indus
tries and at the same time one of the
most modern and complete is the
dairying enterprise which has Just
been launched by J. H. C. Grasty on
his fine farm near this city.
Mr.. Grasty, who is one of the sec
tion's most progressive farmers, be-
lieves in beginning right. With this
idea in mind he consulted some of
the best dairy authorities before be-
ginning actual work, and the result is
that he has perfectly sani-
tary barn. The floors, managers and
cutters are cement. The stalls and
stanchions are metal, and of the
most approved type. Light and VEN
such essential features in
keeping the cows healthy, have been
generously provided. In fact every
thing that adds to the cows comfort
and the keeping of the barn in a
sanitary condition has been supplied.
The herd is composed of all thor
oughbred Jerseys, which were select
I'd from some of the best dairies in
Augusta county, and are as fat as
he beef cattle on the blue grass pas
ures. Showing the care which is
siven them the cows are as clean
IS brushing and washing can make
hem.
Every modern provision is made
or the handling of the milk. I'M
nediately after it is drawn it is
AIKEN to the milk room, where it is
un over a cooler and aerator that re-
loves the animal heat, and reduces
to a temperature low enough to
heck all bacterial development.
thoroughly modern in every respect,
lr. Grasty's new dairy is one of the
lost commendable enterprises of it's
ind in Virginia, and deserves the
1ccess which already seemed as
1red it.

Charged with an attempt to skip
board bill K. S. Swartzel, native
of this county and recently employ
ed as travelling representative by a
manufacturing concern, was arrested
here yesterday on a complaint lodged
by the Virginia hotel people. Swart-
.zel, it is understood, left the hotel on
Saturday night, settling his account
with check on a Washington bank,
which, it is alleged, subsequently
proved to be no good. The officers
were asked to be on the lookout for
the alleged hotel beat and he was
rounded up without great deal of
trouble on the part of the men as
signed to the case.
Swartzel is son of ]. Fl. Swart-
eel who at one time conducted q
store on Bridge street in this city,
and who is now living at Middle
brook. The young man was released
on bail and will likely be arraigned
this morning.

new SCHOOL BUILDING
FOR BEVERLEY Manor
Board Buys Fine Site in Lakeview
for Structure to Cost $4,000

| The Bowman Realty company, which
has acquired the property of the
Lakeview Corporation near the city
reservoir and opposite Gypsy Hill
park, on yesterday sold an entire
block. twelve lots, to the Beverley
Manor School Board. The ground
purchased is on Thornrose Avenue,
near the beautiful Garwood resi-
dence. 1t is the purpose of the school
board, in buying these lots to begin
at once the erection of a school build
ing to cost at least $4,000 and prob
ably considerably more.
The Bowman Realty representa-
ives, ,Messrs. Mansfield and Cammack,
have inaugurated spirited advertis-
ing campaign such as will be calcu-
lated to awaken the public to the ad-
vantages of buying at Lakeview.
A large force of workmen are grad
ing and otherwise fixing up the
ground and already a number of citi-
zens have begun to make selection of
the best lots. Since Lakeview sub
division is in the city, not over three
minutes walk from the postofice,
and is connected with regular city
streets at five different points it is
certainly an available location for
those desiring to build. What Staun-
ton needs more than any one thing
is room for expansion. In the ordi- |
nary city of this size and Importance
there are always from a dozen to a |
score of lot propositions being offered |
but just at this time Lakeview holds
the boards almost alone. With the en-
ergetic advertising campaign the
Bowman people are making and the
sharp reduction they are making the
number of lots at Lakeview will not
last long, it is believed.
