From Our Regular Salisbury Correspondent.
Public sales are now Of daily occur
renee. Stock and farming implements are
bringing fair prices.
Roads are getting bad. The sleigh bells
are heard no more. Folks begin to think
about changing their place Of abode and in
4 few weeks movings will be the order Of
the day.
4. B. Ayres has again lost valuable
COW, this being the third within four
months. They have all died under pecu-
liar circumstances, which lead Mr.. Ayres
and others to believe that there had been
some tampering with the stock by some
malicious parties.
Our friend and neishbor, l.. X. Hilton,
rejcices in the fact that he now has new
son. and he has named him Winfield Scott
Hancock.
The township election passed of, and
the full Republican settled ticket was
elected, although there were several inde-
pendent tickets in the field. George
Ramsy was IN Independent candidate for
road commissioner, and came within 81
votes Of being elected, Peter ,Esch. being
the regular nominee. Peter was badly
| frightened and carried paler cOunte-
| nance than was ever seen on him, until
after the result was announced, when he
regained his usual color and spirits. He is
now happy.
The isuzzarsis.
An article has appeared in several Of
our local papers giving description Of
the Buzzard gang. and also Of the Welsh
mountain and their hauntS. The writer
must lave 4 very fertile imagination, or
| else very poor knowledge Of the country
that he wrote about. The Buzzards were
born and raised ON the Welsh mountain in
Salisbury township and some OF them still
reside on the mountain in Earl township.
Tho place that this writer characterizes rs
i barren waste and devoid Of vegetation
has this season raised and sold many
thousands of dollars worth Of tobacco, in
fact some Of the best and finest crops Of
tobacco in Salisbury are raised right ON
the top or against tie southern incline Of
the Welsh mountain. There is not =
cavern or place on the whole mountain in
Salisbury where man could secrete him.
self or any plunder. Nor were any of the
Buzzards ever known to wear pea jackets
Or 60 mounted, after plumber, nor was
there ever known y man rs their leader by
the name of Harry Burt, who cOurtcd all
the fair m.itlcns Of the valley. Our farm
ers' daughters Of this vicinity are not in the
habit Of making associates Of out laws or
cut -thrOats, no matter how entertaining
they may prove tob be, nor was any man
ever known to have been waylaid and
robbed by this gang. They have been
guilty Of theft time and again, but it was
not done in the bold daring
manner as described, but all their trans
actions were on the sneak thief order, and
when any OF them were confronted by
officers they were easily captured (exccpt
think in one instance when they attempt
cd :. slight resistance). The band, Ol
: gang, We're bad enough, but tho writer Ol
that sensational article, must remember
that we of Salisbury object Of having Oul
good Old township described rs 4 barren
, waste, and our farmers daughters alse
, object to the imputations cast on their
} credulity. We hope that when he agair
undertakes to give description Of Oul
. neighborhOOd that it shall consist Of facts
and not all fancy.
