In the way of personal mention last week we omitted the names of Mesdames Samuel Gav and James Rutledge, of Stony Bottom, who were visiting their sister, Mrs Early Gum, near Monterey. Mr Gwin, who went to Charlottesville to consult an eye specialist, returned Monday. An operation was not deemed advisa? ble at present, and, with the aid of special eye-glasses, Mr Gwin ex? pects to resume his school duties on Monday, The property of the Staunton Horse Show Association on the fair ground near the city consisiting of the grand stand, stand for judges, stalls, sheds, has been levied on through Sheriff Wilson to secure the payment of a note for $1,500 held by the National Valley Bank and the same has been advertised for sale on the 17th A a result of the heavy sleet, telephone lines are down in many directions. Occasional messages coming iu seem to indicate worse conditions west of us.

The ice on the trees is so heavy that timber and fruit trees are in a danger of breaking, and the are more or less obstructed. No damage has been observed about town, but the situation is more picturesque than comfortable. President Roosevelt received a visit from their chief Appaha and several braves of the Utes who were recently on the warpath. Capt.

This information is given out in a pri? vate letter, to a Monterey attorney, from Judge Anderson. When the question of au extra term was dis? cussed at last session, the Judge ex? pressed the hope that he would be able to come to Highland in but the promise, if promise at all, was conditional. As it now this important trial will come up at the regular spring term iu April, and the outlook now is for a very lengthy session, for our quiet little county, at least.

False Reports. The report that Mr. W. V. Wat son, who recently moved from Highland to Greenbrier, was dead, was finally "downed," but not un? til his friends here had 'phoned for information.

Since then we have added his name to our subscription list, and have been informed that he is in good health, and tips the beam at plus 200. Another rumor to the effect that Mr. C. C. Arbogast had pneu? monia at his Durbin home, was a mistake, also.

He was a little off in point of health, but the latest says he is "on again and gone again," like Finnigan's wreck. "Golden Beauty" Brings $1700. J. A Kennedy, of Staunton, has sold his cream colored en Beauty, to A. V.

H. of tbe Shenandoah Valley Hunt. Charlottesville Progress. New Railroad Mr John Cornwell, general attorney of the Hampshire South ern Railroad Romney, writes the Manufactures Record that Mr J. Sloan Kuykendall is securing right of way for the line up the south Branch valley.

The road has been financed, and will probably be con? structed during the coming year. The length of the line is 38 miles from Romney via Moorefield lo Petersburg connection at Romney with the South Branch Railway, which is a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr A. Spates Brady of Fairmont, is the engineer in charge. A press report quotes Mr Corn? well as saving that contracts will probably be let in January, and the surveys have beeu made.

The greater number of people along this proposed route believe that this road will be built and are in no doubt about it. It is a natur? al railroad ruute and when they have finished it to Moorefield we still have a natural route on by Franklin to Monterey, We hope they will not lose sight of the fact that we are a railroad for-saken Branch Review, "The Times-Dispatch has al? ready given this hint to the farm? ers of Virginia.
