PC. Eastman, the past week.
We know that we but voice the
sentiments of this entire community
Nhcn We say we are sorry that Mr.,
Lacy is going to leave us. He has
won many friends during his Rector
ship Of some seven years, of Christ
Church in this place. He has been
faithful TO every trust, is an able
minister Of the New Testament, and
his walk and conversation, which in
our midst have been a comment on
the religion he breaches. We be-
speak for him thc kind consideration
ofthc people Of Manchester, Virginia,
to which place he goes to take charge
Of a new field of labor. The large
congregation that met him, III his
farewell service, was an evidence Of
high appreciation.
BrHGLARs.-F For the pas,few nights
burglars have been operating in this
place. We understand that they
laveentcred several houses, and have
made attempts to enter the houses Of
Mrs. Mary McCulloch, L. Kimberling,
D. S. Van Matre and Mrs. Pomeroy.
They seem to- be after provisions,
principally, as they generally take
Hour, fruit, meat and so on. We nd.
wise our citizens to keep up close
watch for these thieves, and if they
catch amy suspicious persons prowl-
ing around their premises, tofll Them
with shot. From the way.peoplcare
talking, il these fellows don't leave
they will be caught, and il they are
they will be strung up IL the nearest
tree, without trial either by Judge
Or jury.
COOP LANDING We have just
printed some nice cards foroury young
- " .
friend, Mr.. Jim Darst, setting forth
the exccllencies of his landing and
harbor, On the kanawlla, near this
place. The water is deep and conse-
qucntly a safe place to harbor bouts.
Mr.. Darst is very reliable, an expert
cnccd river man, and We commend
him to the people Of the Valley who
have boats to take care Of. He is
well supplied with lines, and will ut.
tend to the shipment of boats
promptly.
SUICIDE. Word came to US, Mon
day morning, that Frank Forrest, q
married man, who resides or Five
Mile creek, in Clendinen District,
had committed suicide by cutting his
throat with a razor, on Sunday night.
The only cause assigned for this rnsh
act, is that lie was indicted in the
United States court, at Charleston,
sometime ago, for selling tobacco in
violation of the revenue laws, and
this has had depressing effect upon
him, and is supposed to have driven
him To commit this deed.
We have done the best we could to
make our local columns interesting
this week, but it is a failure, because
no locals were to be had. Our cor
respondents have nearly all failed on
us. Fit is not so interesting us u.s.
ual, we hope our readers will over.
look the seeming remissness.
