Woodensburg, 4th District.-The Asbury
Grove colored camp Injecting broke up on Tuesday
With this and the late Emory Grove camp, the
people of this district have had nearly five success
sive weeks of camp meetings. If there is any Of
the article left over no doubt they will be glad fol
it to be retained till next year. Also, with the
peculiar season we have had, the weather is almost
too cold for camp meetings, although learn from
your paper last week, that there is another, prob
ably belated one, just started ut Bynum's Sta
ton, on the M. G. r. r.
would not like to attempt to predict how the
Democratic primary contest is going to come out
but that the district is being more than "painted
red," as The UNION said last week, can certify
to. Nor is there small amount of bitterness
creeping into the fight, for ordinations and re-
criminations, and accusations of all kinds can be
heard on all sides. Some of the charges made
against Mr.. CT aries j. Beckley by the Crout men
are to the effect that he is not really candidate
for himself, but for Mr.. Joseph Passano, who de-
sres the nomination for County Treasurer, Mr..
Andrew Banks, or some others; that he is allied
with Isaacs and Talbot, and also that he was un-
faithful to the party when his name was placed on
the temperance ticket a couple of years ago
while Crout is extolled for his "good record" in
Office, and also appeals for votes on account OF
his church membership, &c.
Miss Edith Long, the interesting young lady,
Is years of age, who was injured at the Emory
last Saturday morning. typhoid fever having in
tervened. Her funeral was largely attended Sun
day morning, at the Reisterstown M. E. church,
of which she has been for couple of years mem
Der. The interment took place in the church
burial ground. Rev. B. G.. w. Reid, pastor of
the church, oficiated and preached the funeral
sermon. The pail bearers were all young gentle
men of the deceased lady's acquaintance. Young
Mr.. Westaway, the companion of Miss Long at
the time of the accident, was at the funeral, &C.
companyng the family. Mr.. Westaway, his
father, was also present. and lent what aid and
comfort he could to the distressed friends. On
account of being confined to the house by sickness,
neither the father of the young lady nor one of
her brothers was able to attend the funeral
Many accounts have been given of the distressing
accident, generelly to the effect that Miss Long was
thrown from the buggy and internally and other
wise injured, but Mr.. Theodore Naylor, who res
cued both her and Mr.. Westaway, and afterwards
took her home in his buggy, contradicts them and
says he took her out of MIR. WIS buggy and placed
her in his own, and that as far as he knows, she
received injuries except terrible nervous shock
and this version is confirmed by her attending
physicians, who say that she died of fever super
induced by nervous prostration caused by the
shock and fright.
Mr.. Samuel Armstrong, huckster for a couple
of years past in this neighborhood died last Sat-
urday morning at the house of Mr.. Frank Peltzer,
near mere. Inc poor man nad Deen suHerlnS Win
a cancer at the side of his mouth, which had eaten
away portion of his cheek. Still he pursued his
business, and in his journeyings recently some one
gave him prescription, composed of arsenic,
spirits of turpenine and carbolic acid, which, he
told, if applied to the cancer in the form of
poutice, would cure it. He tried it on last Friday
night and early on Saturday morning was found
in dying condition, and DR.. McKendree Kemp
was sent for. The physician tried to prolong his
life by the application of mustard plasters, stimu
lants, &C., but was unable Mr.. Armstrong dying
about o'clock in the morning, as the doctor said
by swallowing the poisonous ingredients from the
poutice which leaked into his mouth. He was
only 81 years of age, and was formerly from the
neighborhood of Arlington, this county, only hav-
ing recently moved his effects to Mr.. Peltzer's.-
He was buried at Mt. Gilead M. P. church Mon
day afternoon, and none but strangers were in at
tendance at the funeral, he seeming to have had
no near friends or relatives. Rev. Mr.. Floyd,
minister of the church, preached the funeral SER
mon, although he had no notice of the death until
he came there to preach the regular Sunday SER
mon to the congregation, which occurs in the af-
ternoon, and performed the other funeral rites.
