Mr.. Editor, allow US to add to
our:friend, "Stinger's" description
of the reception of the INDEPEN-

The subscriber looks over the pa
per until he finds "Hedgesville'
news, which he generally reads
aloud, and it is discussed by the
seniors of the village, all evening.
Next morning being Sunday, the
Sunday School scholars take it for
their subject, and it is debate
with such effect, that by Sunday
evening there are very few people
in town that does not know some
thing of all the items, and the IN

Thus your paper is a general favor
lite with the old as we'll as the
young.
