eG PERsoNAIs.-The Woodson IL
Allen Combination, which performed in
this town on Saturday and Monday
evenings last, was one of the best, II
not the best entertainments that has
been given in this place within our re-
collection. And we are sorry they were
not patronized to that extent which
their standing as artists enti,le them.
Mr.. Woodson's rendition of the negro
character is inimitable, and MIR. Allen
as performer upon the banjo can not
be excelled They expect to return here
in August, and we hope the ladies as
well as the gentlemen, if they want to
take a good laugh, will be sure and so
and see them, as nothing is said or done
by them to bring blush to the cheek
of the most fastidious.
We are glad to welcome back to
our town our young friend Mr.. Geo. X.
Yontz, VINO has for the past seven
months been experimenting large pa

Board Mills of Mr.. Sommer at this
place, now about 10 resume operation.
He formerly had charge of this estab-
lishment when controlled by the Mtssrs.

many friends while East, and that he
left his recent employers with much re-
greet.

Leesburg, Va, last week, returning on MONDAY
of this week. While Charley was looking after
the Young lady, her father was around here, per-

this end of the line and suppose that he found
that what Charley said was all correct.
The B. & o. K. r. Co. have changed the time
of all passenger trains on ther road. Hereafter
only four trains stop at Kerneysvile each day,
and as a consequence our place will probably be
less lively in the future than in the past, rs
far as the passenger traffic is concerned, but in
business point of view we are doing very well
for this season Of the year. But must bid her-
ncysville adieu, and start for the mountains.
