Exposition last week, came back filled with
rapture over Gilmore's band. They say
"grand" is no name for it.
Judge Russell last Saturday presented us
q half-bushel of fine potatoes. They ar
white, large, smooth-skinned, and without

not grown anywhere.

Four men going to ball in the country
last Thursday night threw down the fence
and drove through one of Thomps. Blanton's
corn fields. A lot of cattle being pastured
in the adjoining field got among the corn
thereby, doing considerable damage. NEXT
day Thomps. had the aforementioned ball
goers up before Judge Dingef, and their
average sssco," was about fifteen dollars.
The citizens of the Valley, and especially
the members of the Fort Hill NJ. E. Church,
will be pleased to learn that the Annual
Conference which met at Charleston last
week returned Rev. j. w. Worsnop to his
former position at Arcadia. Mr.. Wors-
mop is a minister of no ordinary ability, and
o gentleman in every sense of the word. We
are glad he is returned and wish him a
pleasant an6 prosperous year. He informs
us by mail that he is detained and will not
be permitted to fill his pulpit at Fort Hill
Hill next Sunday, but in the future will be
regularly at his post.
LEFTt-Ladies can afford to powder, twist
bangs, and the like, at leisure, If it is not
desired to take one of Uncle Sans mail
trains; then they had better cut such BUSH
ness short, or sufficiently so 70 get there in
time. But a couple of our young ladies
here did not recognize this fact last Sunday,
and the consequences were, they succeeded
in seeing No. sol pull out for Arcadia. Aft
er grand rush, and q general wreck of
bangs, &C., they with Sigh followed quietly
behind the train, and at Arcadia again saw
the blue smoke rising in great volumes. The
deviating road made the trip long one, but
the girls didn't care much-the cars were too
crowded for comfort, anyhow!
Many persons who may have desire to
visit st. Louis during the week of the great
u
because of the possibl, lack of hotel accom-
modations. To provide against this cOntin-
geney, the wholesale merchants and manu-
facturers of st. Louis have for several years
past maintained Bureau of Free Informa-
ton, and all who apply are directed to re-
spectacle private families and boarding
houses where pleasant accommodation may
be had at reasonable rates. The public may
be assured that ample provision will be made
for all, thus effecually preventing extOrtion
and imposition. The Office will be located
corner of Broadway and Chestnut sireet,an
no charge of any Kind is made for any SER
vice rendered.
The A. o. U. w. of Pilot Knob Lodge No.
1853, will give grand ball at their new hall
on Friday night of this week, and we trust
it will be largely attended. Certainly, il the
attendance be consequent upon the prepare
tions made for the event, it will be a success
in that as in all other particulars. An ex-
cellent string band has been engaged, and
the supper will be grand affair. All the
other concomitants to a successful and pleas
ant time have been well taken care Of. Quite
q large attendance from neighboring lodges
Is anticipated, the weather proving favora-
BILE. The admission charged is low-$1.5O
per couple-barely enough to defray the ex-
penses. Our Pilot Knob friends know how
20 get up an affair of this kind, and we may
safely promise all who go there on this acca-
sion at least thrice their moneys worth.
