Hedgesville News.

Mr.. Louis Willis, the gentleman
whe bought the farm of b. F. Heber-
lig & Co., has been in town buying
isgoing to make a first-class stock farm
out of it. Mr.. J. Runkles is his FORE
man, we understand.
Mr.. VIM. Eversole contemplates
going west this week. We are sorry
to lose such worthy young men, for
they can find encouragement any
where. We wish him success in his
undertaking, whatever that may be.
Our losses are others gain.
Our merchants have all received
their spring goods, and one of them
not being occupied all the time in his
store, has contracted to cut wood at
his boarding-house. We hope he will
find it exercise enough; ifnot, we will
keep our own ak in good order for his
accommodation.
Mr.. Ed. Lawrence Windham, one
of our enterprising young men, has
opened blacksmith shop at North
Mountain Depot. Lawrence is good
fellow, and we hope the public will
patronize him.
Mr.. l.. Quinn, the county assessor,
was in town lately assessing property.
He says he is getting along well with
his work.
Miss Jane Cunningham has been
very i'll for some weeks past. We
hope to see her out soon again.
Mr.. Allen Ronk, agricultural agent
for the Mccormick harvesters, reap
ing and moving machines, told us the
other day that he is doing good bust
ness in that line.
Mr.. James Robinson fell from a
ladder the other day, and hurt him
self very badly. We are glad that it
was not worse, and that he is able to
walk about again, with the assistance
of a cane. SYLVESTER.

From Over the Mountain.

The Mountains are lively with bark
peelers. Go where you please, you
will see new bark piled ready for ship
ment. We are glad to see il, as it
seems the only source of revenue at
present, and it is cash and ready sale
at J. L. Bakers or j. III. Miller's, at
$3.50 and 81 per cord.
We pay an occasional visit to your
city, and from what we see of the
growing crops and improvements in
the way of new barns and fences, we
think there is coming prosperity in
the near future. AS we pass through
the little town of Hedgesville we see
she begins to compete with her sister
towns. Mr.. j. S. Vermilyea has
opened new dry goods store and Mr..
A. S. Ronk has on hand anything in
the agricultural line, and we predict
that Hedgesville in a short time will
command the trade and do more bust
ness than ever before.
Go where you may and you will see
the dog-tax collector trying to perform
his duty, though the people make it
very unpleasant for him. He has been
reasonably patient so far, but there
comes time when "patience ceases
to be virtue"
We suppose you people in the valley
imagine we mountaineers are nothing
but hewers of wood and drawers of
water, but we are not without bits of
romance and that in real life, too;
none of your fiction; at least they
thought it was no fiction when they
encountered that indignant brother
and stern parent but consoled them
selves with the old adage, p" the course
of true love never runs smooth" BE
true; "faint heart never won fair
lady"
The arrival ofTHE HERALD here is
always regarded as literary treat,
and it is growing in favor more and
more every day. That is what we
want, Mr.. Editor, a good, newsy pa
per. More anon. MOUNTAIN Boy.

BLACK SILK.-A great many ladies
will order samples of Black Silk from
the city, select the price they want
and order the Silk. Now we have no
objection to them ordering samples
and think it their daayto buy as cheap
as they can, but they ought to take the
samples and compare with the Silks
our merchants have in Stock and if
we cannot do as well or better for them
we will not ask them to buy. A great
many ladies think if they order them
from the city themselves, of course
they are cheaper than they can get
here. Defy New York, Philadelphia or
Baltimore to beat the Stock we now
have. If you have any city samples
it will be pleasure to show you ours
and compare and if we cannot do as
well for you we won't want you to buy
ours. EMMERT & FIERY.

PERsoNAL.-Mr. James Slaybaugh,
from Hanover, Pa, now on west
ward trip, spent a few days in this
city, and was much surprised at the
business and enterprise going on
around us. He was chief-book-keep-
er Of the Southern Pennsylvania In
suranee Company when in the zenith
of its prosperity, and was retained by
its receiver for the final settlement
Besides being an expert accountant,
he is miller by trade, and goes west

business pursuit. May success attend
him.

Rev r. III. Whitlock, of this city, who
for several months has been travelling
through the South, writing up South
ern industrial interests, and canvass
ing for various works, returned home
during the week. He speaks very
favorably of the advantages through
the South in the way of acquiring
cheap homes, and proposes taking
with him from the northern States a
number of men who are willing to
make themselves useful. Wewant men
of energy and usefulness in this State,
which offers many advantages to that
class, especially farmers and manufac-
turers.

FAIR.-The Mechanics Band has
been holding fair in Wysong Hall
during the week, the proceeds to be
used for the benefit Of the band. The
fair was well attended, and from all
accounts success. This organization
is chiefly made up of mechanics and
laboring men, and it deserves the
hearty encouragement of our citizens,
as no city of this size should be with
out band.

There was an animated discussion
among the City Fathers Wednesday
night, over certain tax bills that ex-
sergeant Pitzer asked to be relieved
of. They amounted to 1874, and had
run over the time for collection, being
of several years back. They were
given in as uncollectable on account
of removal, death and poverty, but
the council decided that there be no
more turned over bills as the present
sergeant has enough of his own.
