Having seen nothing in your valua-
BILE paper for sometime from this place
will give you the locals.
Last Sunday week will he a day
long remembered by the citizens Of
this town and vicinity. A stranger
would have thought that we were hay
ing an Irish wake, from the amount
of drunken men to he seen on our
streets cursing, staggering and quarrel
ing all day loug, and making frequent
trips to the rendezvous where the
80 be joyful was handed out by the
bucketfull.
On Tuesday night some of our cit
liens, who had been attending the
lawsuit at Morgantown over the two
chickens between Sheets and Green,
had got outside of bountiful supply
of bcnzinc and paraded our streets
breaking the glass out of the house
of one our most respected and pcacea-
bic citizens, while he was absent;
no one being at home but his wife
and two little children.
On Saturday night there was 81
dance at mother HIS which broke
up about midnight in row, frightcn-
ing the ladies badly who were attend
ing Mrs. Hickman, who has been very
low for the last month. The better
portion of our citizens arc determined
to take the matter in hand and see
if there is remedy for the evil.
Mr.. Wander Finncll was attacked
on the street on Saturday night and
had his face scratched up by some Of
the drunken gang. ] think there is n
good chance for the replenishing of the
exchequcr Of our worthy Pros. At
torney as well as contributing some
thing TO the State.
The health of our town is generally
good. INrELrcE.
