The bride of Green Bay wis. wedding
was astounded BY receiving from friend
pair of trousers. with the message
:. Loaned for the part you are to play"
The bridegroom construed the garment as
an insult. and the guests unanimously
agreed that some decisive form of resent
ment ought to be shown. While the ex-
.citement was high, the friend arrived in
equal perturbation, and explained that
the trousers should have gone to fellow
for wear in an amateur entertainment,
while piece Of silverware should have
come to the wedding. He had hastily
VI psd the laundering messenger, and
would submit to any punishment that the

THE COUNTY ROAD Law TO BE
VOTED ON, MAY 25th.

We most earnestly trust that the citi
zensof the county will examine, if thev
have not already done so, the bill we pub
lished last week upon which they are to
give their judgment at the polls on the
25.h of this month. It is no bill to Mac
Adamizs the roads to Staunton," nor has
Staunton any local interest in it. The
whers, whom, and at what cost, is in the
hands Of the county people through their
supervisors. 1t has been purposely drawn
80 40 to give the county Supervisors the
largest discretion in the matter. 1t is a
!. plan upon which all the roads-not the
main roads merely can be improved
About one cont on the one hundred dol
lars of value is now spent each year by the
county in keeping its roads in order. TIE
ka)mount is 80 small that it makes little i'm
preston on the great amount of work to
bs Jonc. A levy Of ten cents would change
all this.
The bill was prepared by a county rep
resentativs, Senator Koiner. and is Con
servative distribution Of the burden be-
tween labor and property and we think
ought to obtain fair trial from both.
1t is especially necessary that the people
accept this bill because if they reject it
there is NO other chance for new one un-
til the legislature meets two years from
now. In the interval. under the presen,
working OF the..existing road law. our roads
will 90 on from bad to worse.
II these who are DESTROYS of seeing the
value of lands increased in Augusta. As
we think all are. will examine this bill and
explain it to their neighbors who may not
have the time or opportunity for such OK
animation, they will greatly advance the
object We all have in view. Even before
the holding Of our big fair in October
there would be visible Improvement in
our highways and strangers who come
will be fayorsbly impressed by it.
We repeat that this is the last chance
for two years that our people will have. and
ask from them careful and critical OK
animation Of the features Of the bill. 1t
Is hardly three weeks to the opening of
the polls at,which the question is to be de-
cided. .---

A Desperate Fight.

A Desperate Fight.
Deputy Marshal Goodwin while in
Alfalfa on Sunday last, learned that
two men with a wagon and team
were selling illicit whiskey within a
mile Of town. He proceeded with
two deputies to point from which
he could watch the house where the
whiskey was being sold. So many
men were passing to and from the
house, that Goodwin concluded that
his posse was too weak to attempt
an arrest, he consequently sent to
Alfalfa for reinforcements. Only
one man, armed with shot gun, re-
sponded. At daylight the house, a
large one was entered by the posse.
While searching for the whiskey,
one of the moonshiners, named Will
liams followed by both men and
women, entered the room, and taking
deliberate aim at tempted to shoot
Goodwin, who was standing between
Williams and the door. The pistol
snapped, and Williams rushing upon
the deputy knocked him out OF the
door, seized him by the throat with
his left hand, at the same time jam
ming his pistol against Goodwin's
breast as he lay upon the ground.
As the weapon was discharged,
Goodwin pushed it aside with
his arm, the ball passing through
his clothing. Williams then seiz-
ed Goodwin by the throat with
one hand, and the deputy's pistol
hand with the other, but Goodwin
wrenched his arm loose and placing
his pistol, self-cocker. to Williams
head, fred, killing him so dead that
his body lay upon the deputy. In
the meantime another man who show
ed fight, was secured and handcuffed
by the deputies. and with the wag-
on and whiskey taken to Alfalfa. Mr..
Goodwin who was exonerat ed by the
inquest is now in the city. He is
badly bruised.
