 THE NEW RAILROAD.

The ever present Anxious lnquir- er' writes to ask about the new rail- road: what has been done, and when the railroad will be built into Hot Springs.
 While there is not mucn publicity . 10 the preliminary business affairs ol a railroad. yet We understand from what might he termed reliable sources, that the railroad will be ready ! to fnlfin the obligation necessary tor it 10 receive the s6vlooo bonus raised here. Under the terms of those notes tho railroad must be operating first class passenger service within IS months, and unless sucn is the case, the notes are not due and payable.
 There are three small lines that must be merged before that western outlet can be secured over the pro roseS route. and mergers sometimes ate attended with delay.
 We believe that the detail of ths buainess preliminary will be complet ed within very short time. and the contractors put to work filling up the gaps .n the line. Every inJica tisn is tfas sucn is the case, anu there is nothing to indicate that the road will not be built as proposed.

WHY NOT A COUNTY FAIR?

Our exchanges bring refreshing
news from county fairs being held
in various sections of Virginia. And
the regret is that old Rockbridge
cannot enjoy one also. Why not2
We have endeavored a number of
times to point out some of the many
advantages of an agricultural fair
and stock exhibit. Rockbridge has
abundant material for exploitation.
Her farm products, her fruits, her
stock and her mineral resources
would each prove attractive and in
structive exhibits.
We feel and have felt for long
time the business men OF Lexington
and Rockbridge are letting slip by
them every year valuable opportun-
tiles for increasing the business re-
lations with each other, when they
do not recognize the Importance of
county fair to the extent OF organic
ing and maintaining the same. These
institutions in some sections are
recognized as the best kind OF meet
ing places for the promotion OF bar
ter and trade.
Those Of our readers whose mem-
cries travel back to the annual
gatherings of the old Rockbridge
Agricultural Fair, can recall the
pleasurable incidents OF those occa-
sions; OF the exhibits by farmers,
and housewives, and stock-raisers,
and poultrymen. and dairymen, and
horticulturists; Of the reunions and
meetings by the people who had
not seen each other perhaps since
the fair the year before ;of the ming
ling together Of people who live in
town and those who live in county,
for the betterment of both.
Let Us think it over before anoth.
er year, and we hope to be able next
fall to be among the visitors at the
Rockbridge County Fair.

Justice John Marshall Harlan was
horn in Boyle county, KY, June l.,
1888, and was the oldest man in
years and in point Of service on the
Supreme Court bench. Had he con-
tinued his duties until next June he
would have served longer than any
other man who ever sat Oh the Su-
preme Court bench. He was ap-
pointed to the court as an assistant
justice by President Hayes, in No
vember, 1877.
AS youth Justice Harlan went to
Centre College in Kentucky, and

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

At the Virginia State Fair in
Richmond last week was a booth
devoted to the Woman Suffragist. I"
This booth was headquarters for
literature and information looking
to the inauguration OF a campaign
in Virginia in behalf of extending
suffrage to the women of the State
Now comes the report in yester-
days papers that there has been
organized in Richmond a Men S
Equal Suffrage League" the pur-
poses of which are Ito promote the
political enfranchisementf for women,
and equal privileges for women in
the legal, medical, industrial, educa-
tional and professional world ia
general" Also. to advocate the
enactment by the General Assembly
of the necessary amendment to the
constitution to provide for the fore
going.
Although a number OF prominent
women and distinguished men of
Virginia are supporting this move
ment, we cannot believe that the
women of Virginia really want the
privilege of the mad scramble in
politics.

Hon. George w. Koiner, Commits
sloner of Agriculture of Virginia,
made prediction ten years ago
that lands in the Old Dominion
would double in value in a decade.
They have done so. Mr.. Koiner has
ventured to make another forecast.
He says that the lands of Virginia
will double again in the next ten
years. He has great faith in the
agricultural resources of Virginia
and believes the farmer is to be con.
graduated on the satisfactory prices
of his products.

witnessed desperate playing by
both teams and the Carolinians re-
sorted to forward passes while the
cadets INDUCED in kicking. The
game ended with the ball in the
centre of the field.

good game, but to Witt is the honor
of the victory. He It was who kick
ed goal and likewise prevented the
Carolinians from kicking goal from
their only touchdown,

was Dalton's and Youell's defensive
work and Moore's run Of fifty yards,
