To the friend in Winchester who writes
to inquire whether Major Morgan Moore
has removed to New York, and become the
owner and manager of several trOtting
parks, we beg leave to say that Major
Moore Is still a resident Of Shenandoah
county. He enriches the life Of Mt. Jack.
son with his beaming face and fine militia
~ bearing. No; Major Moore was not in
the war of 1912, though he appears 10 re-
member all the race horses and famous
races that have been known in this coun-
try during some sixty years past. He
does not raise race-horses or train them
for profit, but from pure love Of horses
and with the high motive Of improving
stock in the Valley and especially in Shen-
andoah county. As to his skill in fox.
hunting, as 10 which our Winchester cor
respondent inquiries, none of Major MoOre's
friends recall any instance Of his having
caught fox, though there are imperfect
memories recalled by several Of them Of
various colds caught by the gallant Major
when he imaged he was fox-hunting. His
mare Kit which during the summer is
often seen on the road between Mt. Jack
son and Orkney Springs, is considered the
best animal in Major MOOre's stables.

Charlie c. is mad again and tears around
town when not selling goods at fearful
rate. When selling goods he is always
smiling, but for several days his smile is
an altogether forced one. He says he is
mad now because one of his girls called to
buy five cents worth of dry goods last week,
and had twenty-five cents worth Of garlic
on her breath, and enough hair oil on her
head to afford occupation to all the flies
that may visit Woodstock for two months
to come. Charlie says some fellow has
been spelling that girl, and he expects TO
find her hard to manage hereafter. Some
body suggested to Charlie that friends had
given the girl garlic to strengthen her, as
her health has been feeble for some time,
after the manner of the old Romans, who
gave their labOrers garlic TO strengthen
them. Charlie says he doesn't wonder
that Rome sometimes howled, and that he
is going to howl until that girl shall let
up on garlic.

scatter their winters earnings on horses

again remind them how much better it
would have been If they had given their

able beauties at home. Our advice to the
home girlsis, call for ice-cream, soda water,
strawberries and sweet-meats, and break
these groenies before tho raid begins
About two or three good festivals will turn

A gentleman, known and liked through
out the county, was in town few days
ago, and forgetting, after some hours so
iourn with his friends here, that no came
on horseback, started late in the afternoon
to walk to his home not far distant in the
country. When not quite "a far on his
journey as Hoover's woods, he was met by
a friend who disturbed his statesmanlike
reveries about candidates for governor,
farming, poultry, hound pups and other
topics, by asking whittier he was walking.
The profound thinker could only reply that
he was so much accustomed TO walking
home that he had forgotten to call for his
horse and had left his thoroughbred steed
at the stable in town Docs anybody
guess who tho gentleman isl Such men

great men. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the gentleman reached his home in
