THE WOODSTOCK LAMBs.-0fflcer G. H..
Mccarthy made some arrests last Satur-
day night in Bakers lot of some Wood
stock parties. They were fined 50 apiece,
settled up and went on their way rejoicing
We would advise the Woodstock sports In
future to ,0iler away their time without
their Ems and in some other way than
gambling upon the green. The party had
with them a jug of fusil oil to make the
time pass pleasantly Winchester Times
For long time we have refrained from
noticing anything that emanated from
the Winchester Times for reasons, we hoped
the management would appreciate. The
above squib is from that paper.
Woodstock cares nothing for Winches-
ter; nor does Shenandoah owe Frederick
anything she cannot settle.
For years Shenandoah has tried to build
up a Shenandoah Valley Agricultural
Society,"" Herpeople have gone there to
see nothing exhibited but her own manu-
features, her own horses, her own cattle,
her own swine, her own sheep and her
own half trained horses put in competition
with those of gambling horse men. While
the people North of Winchester had long
before learned to go further North, Shenan-
doah people continued to fill excursion
trains for Winchester. Two stables sup
piled the horses. One foundry supplied
the machinery. Two farms filled half
dozen sheep and swine pens. And this
has been the exhibit of the shenandoah
Valley Agricultural Society"
The Davis and others who brought
blooded running horses there five, or more,
years ago are heard of 10 more; and all
that is on show at Winchester is the
spawned and ring-boned saddle-horses of
the officers, together with such inbred
sheep, cattle and hogs as they can select
from their pens.
When monument is to be unveiled, in
Winchester, prominence is given to bank
robbers and Shenandoah is called upon to
fill up the ranks.
1t matters not that Philip B. Williams
and Robt. Y. Conrad declined an attorney
ship.
If a man is arrested in Winchester fol
gambling, or other like offence, effort is
made by cowardly inuendo to fix it on
Woodstock or Shenandoah.

Skunks, of Winchester, you had better
