Nd, mentions, among the strangers
present, Miss Pink Wilen, of this
place.
Hon. Chas. J. Faulkner, is visit
ting his daughter, Mrs. DR.. Love.
We heard him with great pleasure
say on Thursday last, that as soon
as case which was pending in the
u. s. District Court, affecting the
extension OF the Martinsburg road
to Winchester, was decided, and
which he thought would be obtain
ed next October at the farthest, and
that said dicision would be favora-
BILE, then soon thereafter the road
would be built. This gentleman
has lost none Of the original FIRE
which attracted to him thousands OF
admirers, and as we listened to him
our mind went back to the olden
times, when as a boy we heard this
gentleman's clarion voice rallying
the clans to victory. His step is al
most as light as it was then and the
weight of years has not either dim
med the luster OF his eye, or marred
the perfect harmony Of his speech

THE joint discussion between the
Martinsburg and Winchester lyce-
ums occurred in Feller's hall ,on last
Friday night. A tremendous audi
ence was present and the strictest
attention was manifested throughout
the entire evening. The debate, as
expected, was an interesting one, on
the question, Resolved, That the
Crusades were beneficial to mankind,
and was argued in the Affirmative by
the following gentlemen Of the Mar
tinsburg lyceum, E. j. Simpson,
Austin Rodrick and Grant Pitzer;
while Messrs. Clarke, Hyde and
Lynch, of Winchester, defended the
negative. The question was hand
led ably, and each speaker acquitted
himself commercially. After long
consultation the judges gave their
decision in favor of the negative.
We understand that preparations
will be made looking to another dis
cussion, to be held in Winchester at
an early day. Our boys will doubt
less prove that a second defeat
is impossible, and the Winchester
boys may meet a Waterloo the next
time.

Well, l do like them, but then he sends
them every week and l did think he
might vary the gift for Valentines

Ferd mused on his way home: Ethel
IL either not we'll or else the pin does
not please her, and yet it is the very one
she admired most that day at Tihany's.
III ask her tomorrow If she would like
to exchange it.
