Mr.. Charles Edtnondson and Miss
Lydia Bowers dit up the moon" one
night last week and took quiet drive
to Cedarville. After calling into re-
QUESTION the services of minister to
make them "one," Charlie purchased
tickets for "two' and took the train
for Hagerstown, Md, and rather than
forego the anticipations of happiness
in welded life would doubtless have
bought all the tickets the agent had
for sale. May long continued happi-
ness be theirs.
Prof Hoenshell gave our citizens a
very interesting lecture on Tuesday
evening last. Education" was the
subject chosen, and he handled it in
an able and mastery manner. His
hearers were delighted with him, and
one and all vote him "the right man
in the right place"
Middletown is still making giant
strides in the march of improvement
The College building presents very
imposing appearance, and with the
many alterations and additions which
have been made to the old structure,
will be admirably adapted to the pur-
pose for which it is intended.
The new dwelling house of G. w.
Peery is being fast pushed to compile
ton, and will be one of the prettiest
residences in town.
The store and dwelling now in pro-
cess OF erection by j. F. Larrck will
soon be ready to occupy, and will be
valuable addition to the town.
The firm of Harris & Leary have
also been making some valuable i'm
provements in their place of business,
among which are the addition of sew
eral large and snowy windows.
The factory of Messrs. Undertake
& Maslin is progressing finely. The
masonry is about completed, and prep
arations are now making to put in
place the extensive machinery needed
to do the work of this model factory.
DR.. Hutchinson has greatly improv-
ed the appearance of his Office by the
addition of beautiful bow windows.
He is now better prepared than ever
to coax forth that musical ejaculation
from the pretty lips of the feminine
portion of community-"Oueh r'-or
from the uncouth lips of the lords of
creation-"D-urn it T.
The picnic season will soon be fully
opened. 1t is splendid recreation to
spend day in the country, free from
the cares and perplexiti IS of business,
and at this season of the year a little
recreation of this kind is very ben
e6cial.
J. G. Keller has again made his APP
pearance in Middletown and "some-
body" is no doubt pleased.
We are sorry to learn that Mrs
John Cooley is suffering from the eff
fects of paralysis.
The Middletown cornet band favors
our citizens every Saturday evening
with some of its we'll executed and en-
livening airs. Thanks, gentlemen.
The string band is also improving
rapidly.
We are glad to hear that Stephens
City is taking steps to have another
Soldiers Re- Union. When the time
cones Middletown will be well rep
resented.
Some of the young men of our town
have got the Summer fever" in very
malignant form, and it is doubtful if
