HAVE NO OPPOSITION
FOR LEGISLATURE
No Candidates File Against Nehemiah
Kelley, Republican-State Senator
Also Unapposed in District

Saturday was the final day for fiji
ing notices of candidacy for such of
fees as will be filled at the November
election
The failure to so file means that no
candidate can have his name printed
on the official ballot, although any
one having the temerity may seek of
fee by having the name written on
the ballot.
In Shenandoah County there will
be no opposition to the legislative
nominees, the Republicans not hav-
ing placed a candidate in the field
against Joseph Denny, of Clarke
County, for the State Senate, and the
Democrats having no candidate
against Nehemiah Kelley for the
House of Delegates.
This will obviate the necessity for
an active campaign by either of
these candidates except as they may
canvass for the State tickets of their
respective parties.
The satisfactory services of Mr..
Kelley as a member of the house,
Notwithstanding his being a minor
ity member, together with his hon
esty and fearlessness, made him the
logical candidate to succeed himself,
and the fact that he has no opposi-
ton is a Democratic testimonial to
his character and worth.

OVER FIFTY THOUSAND
FOR HAIL DAMAGE
Largest Insurance Check In History
of the County-Tufkey Knob
Orchard Company, Beneficiary

The largest amount ever paid il
Shenandoah County for hail damag,
to an orchard was represented by {
check through the W. L. Dechert In
surance Agency of Harrisonburg tC
Judge F. S. Tavenner of Woodstock
and Herbert Larrick, Winchester at
torney, receivers of the Turkey Knot
Orchard Company Included in the
settlement was REIMBURSEMENT OF
the insurance companies to any claim
on the apples salvaged and these ap-
pies were sold in gross for SIS. 900 to
C. Z. Gudebrod, who has been con-
.nacted with the Turkey Knob Or
ehards since they were acquired from
the Wisslers some years ago.
The settlement was based on the
adjusted loss in the orchard due to
hail and the check in settlement
was for s52,400.
The Turkey Knob Orchard is one
OF the largest of Valley apple orch
dTuS ana Is lOCdlSQ near MI. JACKSON
and in the storm which swept the
southern part of Shenandoah County
not only was it literally riddled with
hail but many trees were uprooted
and stripped of branches and foliage
Much of the 1925 crop is being
marketed in bulk for cider vinegar
and part of it was shipped to pre-
serving plants.
Because of legal proceedings insti-
tuted by Artemus Ward, New York
capitalist, who was associated with
C. E Gudebrod in the purchase and
development of the orchard, Judge
f. B. Whiting appointed receivers for
the settlement of the differences be-
tween Messrs. Gudebrod and Ward.
A few days after suit was begun,
Ward died and his estate is now own
err of a majority of the stock in the
Turkey Knob company.

LOCAL CAPITAL
FOR CANNING PLANT
Meeting of Chamber of Commerce
and Interested Citizens-Estab-
lishment Is Assured

The effort to locate a canning fac
} tory in Woodstock crystallized into
action on Saturday evening when ].
ID. Grabill, of H. B. Chapman & Co.,
began canvass for stock for the es-
Enlistment of such an industry.
Although the subscription paper was
not passed around until after nine
O'Clock at night, over $4,000 was SUBJ
scrlbed within an hour. Assurances
/ of raising the amount required have
been given and Woodstock will have
an industry which will not only be
I of great benefit to the town but to
the farming section contiguous to the
town. The employment of labor plus
the market for vegetables and fruits
means monetary distribution which
will quicken the commercial LIFE of
the town and be of inestimable bene-
fit to the entire section.
Several locations are in eontempla-
ton for the proposed industry and
tentative plans are being made for
its establishment.
The proposed canning and preserv-
ing plant will handle fruits and yege-
tables for which there is constantly
growing demand.
Canneries in other sections of Yir-
ginia, not as advantageously located
are paying satisfactory dividends, and
it is a self-eyident fact that such a
proposition will pay locally
Chamber of Commerce Meets
The movement which gained i'm
petus by the financial interest mani
tested through stock subscriptions
pledged began some months ago
when the Chamber of Comerce, in an
endeavor to have industries estab-
lished in Woodstock appointed Philip
Williams, Clarence A. Kibler and Z.
E. Golladay committee to investi-
gate the canning proposition. This
committee took the matter up with
capitalists interested in the canning
industry and acting on it's report, the
Chamber of Commerce took the mat
ter up directly with Gamers.
In response to an invitation from
William M. Calvert, secretary. S. w.
Huddleston of the Huddleston Can
ming Company of Bedford County.
Va, and interested in a similar prof.
ect in Kentucky, with d. V. Wiley.
representative of the Virginia Can
Company of Buchanan, met with
members of the board of directors,
promoters of the Woodstock company
and others on Monday night.
The matter was discussed in all of
its phases and such information as
the visitors desired was furnished.
Location sewerage disposal and wa
ter were the essential points at issue
and it was satisfactorily demonstra-
ted that these requirements would be
met in Woodstock.
Mr. Huddleston took the matter
under advisement, and while his is
i proposition independent of the To-
cal movement, insofar as competition
and capital are concerned. yet he
evinced a willingness to cooperate
with local interests in such an estab-
lishment.
In the meantime the local promot-
ers for a Woodstock cannery are
pushing the proposition.
