Highway Robbery.

The Piedmont Independent has the
following
A darstardly outrage was perpe-
trated on Wednesday evening last,at
the upper end of the B & 0 r. r Co,
yard at this place. Mr. John Oehrl,
a respectable and worthy German
citizen of this place, had gone hunt
ing in the afternoon and as he was
returning home about dark, was
confronted by two men, a short DIS
lance above the company's yard, on
the railroad, who demanded his
money {; at the same time one Of the
men passed behind him, when he
was knocked down and his watch
taken from his pocket. He was ter
ribly beaten and brui::ed about the
face and the scoundrels finding moth
ing but the watch in his pockets,
left him lying on the track in an
insensible condition when con-
seriousness returned he was hardly
able to walk to town. No arrests
have been made. Mr. Oehrl former
ly lived in Winchester.

Schleuss, of this town, accompanied
byDr.J. R. .Appleby of Georgetown
ID. c., DIR. NJ. Price and two friends
from Philadelphia, started on a deer
hunt on the morning of the Sth inst.
and returned home on the evening
of the 10th inst. They were success
full in many respects. On the still
hunt they invariably stuck to the
trail until they found apple jack Or
peach. brandy.
As shootists Dr. Price won the
medal, missing an old oxen twice
DR.. Appleby got a deer by attending
a mountaineer's family and reliev-
ing a little child of Group. Schleuss
sold a keg of beer to the balance Of
the crowd and brought home a calf
to please the madam and prevent
her from inquiring why he stayed SO
long. The other fellows were dead
broke, or they'd have offered cigars
and kept us from saying so.

PrOtracted Meeting.

The protracted meeting in the M.
f. Church South ill this place is still
in progress. Several conversions have
taken place, and the meetings have
been well attended and seem to grow
in interest. Rev. A. l.. Hamilton,
d. d of Atlanta. Ga, and editor of
the popular literary journal, The
Sunny South, preached a powerful
and eloquent sermon on Sunday
night to a crowded house. DR.. Ham
ilton is an eloquent and earnest

What is relief
Business is completely stagnat-
ed.
Items are as scarce as Peter Coop
er votes.
Now grid on your armor for
Thanksgiving.
Editorials on Chinese antiquities
are in order.
The poets are now requested to
send in their winter rhymes.
They said it was nip and tuck and
then they went and tuck a nip.
"Roost low is Buzfuz's careful
advice, but careful poultry will con-
slider the source.
The Governors proclamation of
war on turkey" and grease" is
a~nxiously expected and will be issued
as soon al Buzfuz is heard from on
"the roost.n
The Boerd of Education of this
town was i'll session on last Monday
evening. Outside of making a few
choice excerpts from Buzfuz's latest,
no business was transacted.
We sniff in vain for the kerosene
in the air, we miss the torches red
glare, and the rhythmic tramp of the
passenjairs as they-marched before
the band. Why cannot life be one
delightful campaign all the time, az
it were
IA weapon that comes dewn as still
As snow-fiakes fall upon the sod
But executes a p~recaucious will,
As lightning does the viii! Of God
And from its force nor doors or locks
Can shield you IT'S the ballot box"

Missionary Society

The ladies of the Presbyterian
church organized q Missionary So
ciety on last Wednesday afternoon
and elected Mrs. James L. Randolph
President. There is plenty of work
ready for societies of this kind in
our town. Let all the churches or
ganize, and maybe there will be less
swearing on the streets and corners,
crowds will be smaller at favorite
foafing places on Sunday and the
churches fuller; and then again, in
the alleys and by-ways of the town
there are scores of unwashed and ig-
norant children, who may be gather
ed into the Sabbath school and there
by be saved from a life of sin and
wickedness, and an end of worldly
and eternal ruin.
