The martins put in an appearance at 4:3O
O'Clock Monday. This seems to denote that
spring has at last arriv-but we are not bet
ting on 1t, fellow citizens.
In this issue will be found the other side
of the "War in Israeli which has so long
been agitating the good people of Belleview
1t does not differ essentially from the report
given by our correspondent.
The Entertainment at Graniteville is to be
given on Friday evening, April 10th. The
programme will be the same that given

worthy of large hearing, and those who at
tend will not be disappointed.
Mrs. A. c. Beckwith, formerly resident
of Arcadia, but lately residing with her
daughter, Mrs. Lyman Medley, at Piedmont,
was buried in tie Masonic Cemetery near
this place last Saturday. She died on Friday
morning at quite an advanced age. Rev. j.
c. Bergman conducted the funeral services.
Several fine dogs have been poisoned by
parties unknown, during the past week.
Now, there are, no doubt, worthless ours,
whose elimination would work no harm; but
those of that class always escape, while the
scattered promiscuously about. No right
thinking person would be guilty of an indis
criminate warfare upon dogs; and we only
hope the guilty party in this instance may be
found out. Then when he tries it next, he
will see to it that his lightning strikes in the
right place.
Mrs. John NJ. Moore desires us to return
her heartfelt thanks to the people of Iron
ton and vicinity for their kindly aid and
sympathy. The Illness of her late husband
was of long duration, yet in all that time
they wearied not, but did everything in
their power to alleviate the terrible affection
which has made her a widow and her chill
dren orphans. For their loving kindness
she can make no return except her ever
enduring gratitude, with a fervent prayer
that all their ways may be of pleasantness,
and their lives free from grevious affection.
Last Friday, Henry Leigh, Esq, now own
er of, and residing on, the old Hunt farm,
about two miles south of Ironton, had
"barn- covering" About a dozen of his
neighbors went out and helped him put the |
roof on his barn, partook of sumptuous
dinner, and went home to prepare for an ev-
ening raid OH their hosts premises. At night |
sOult tWeHts Couplts, ny
band, went over and inaugurated dance
which lasted well into the succeeding morn.
An excellent repast was furnished by their |
amiable hostess at midnight; and the boys |
and girls say everything was ''just splendid"
They will long remember with pleasure the |
good time they enjoyed.
John Bemel has refitted the late Rutsch-
man establishment in t-class style. All
kinds of confeetioneries, canned goods,
meats, &c, will be kept on hand. John has
also opened a restaurant, and will take pleas
ure in serving the public with the best of
eatables. \ ladies, dining parlor, free from
intrusion from the street, has been partition
ed off, where meals will be privately served.
The cookery of the establishment will COM
mend itself upon trial. In this connection,
the people of the Valley will be pleased to
learn that John has secured first-class bak
er from the city, and hereafter-from Satur-
day next-will serve them with excellent
bread from the best of flour, only.
Last Saturday morning Mrs. Trollinger.
widow of the late Absalom Trollinger,whose
home was in the west end of this county,
about three miles from Edge Hill, was found
in the woods, beaten to insensibility. She
was taken to the widow Hartzell's where she
had been staying; but despite all that could
be done for her she died at O'Clock Sunday
morning. Mrs. Trollinger had disappeared
on Thursday evening, and consequently had
lain out for two days and nights before she
was found. When discovered she was in her
stocking feet, but here stockings were un-
soiled. This denotes that her shoes were
taken from her feet after her being beaten
insensibe. She was about 81 years of age,
and we trust the brutes who murdered her
may yet be found out and their full punish
ment melted unto them.
See how helpless the truth is against j
well-tod lie. a few weeks since we gave
truthful account of the butter making record
of fine cow in this vicinity-thirty three
pounds i'm twenty-five days. We thought
that a pretty fair yield, and said SO; but how
our feathers fall on reading the following in
an Eastern paper of the cultured, truth tell
ing kind: "Brother Singerly's Hoste1n COW
is not such peerless marvel after all. The
story is that she gave - pounds of milk one
Saturday, and that was pretty fair for sin
gle day. But Mrs. Shoemaker of Baltimore
owns Jersey cow named Princess Second
that gave in one week a99.s pounds of milk,
Welding No pounds l25a ounces OF Dutter-a
wondrous record indeed. In comparison,
Brother Singerly's Holstein cow seems to be
nowhere. 1t is not surprising that he did not
think best to publish the amount of butter
his COW could produce in seven days. Any
way, the Holsteins are not equal to the Jer-
seys, except for beef" Forty-seven pounds
in one week NEARLY seven pounds per day.!
There's never been created the wild, rowtly
Western lie that can cope with this Baiti-
mogean m0nstrosity.
