The many friends Of Jackson L. Glenn
brother Of Mr.. J. Phil Glenn Of this place,
will learn with deep regret of has early
death which occurred at his old homo IN
Powelps Fort, Nov. 3Oth, loo6 lie had
not quite reached the az of % years
when summoned from earth away, but,
for one 50 young, had endeared himself to
many hearts. His character is only an
other evidence Of what young man can
do for himself, if, in the various relations
of life he adheres strictly to the principle
ofright. His funeral was attended by
large crowd of people, many Of them COM
ing from a distance. His remains were
decently inferred in the old family bury
ing ground. Chou shalt be missed for
thy seat will be empty H.
Mr.. Hubert Sibert, living on tho river
near this place, had a flock Of fifteen bne
sheep. The dogs made a raid on them on
Sunday night playing fearful havoc. On
Monday morning ten Of them were found,
eight of them being dead. The other five
had not been found at our last account.
This IL the second slaughter Of lsheep IN
this neighbornood in the last few DAYS
and unless this gang Of dogs is hunted
down and killed they will make the same
wild work around here that number OF
worthless ours made around Woodstock
some months ago. Sheep raising should
be large and profitable business in this
county and the Valley generally, but 1t
can never be the case as long as the coun-
try is overrun. as it is with droves OF
worthless ours When will We have law
makers with sufficient nerve TO crush out
this crying evil
Despite the heavy snow storm the "@ld
Folks Concert came off at School House
Hall, on Saturday night, of last week. The
audience, although not as large as the
merit of the performance deserved was
still a very fair one for such weather.
Everything passed off very smoothly,
and our amatuers showed that we have
far better talent at home than is often see
in travelling troupes. We would like to
see the entertainment repeated as we feel
sure that many who we're unable TO be
present on Saturday night would grace 1t
with their presence. After the perform
ance a nice lot Of good things were served
up and a number partOok Of the lunch
while quite crowd slipped mp to Joe
and had a little punch. We cannot re-
fran from saying few words in regard
to the appearance Of several of the young
gentlemen who took characters in the
performance. Henry made fine looking
father of bis country, and was a real "eo'
Washington, especially about the LEGS,
where he resembled a deer in the size OF
these members notwithstanding the liberal
use of the material of which old Hickory
Jackson made breastworks at the battle
of New Orleans, and Of which the oppc
site sex still make. Bnt as we are
now talking of something we are supposed
TO know nothing about we had better
come to sudden stop Sam also fixed
his pins up with the same material, but
for a very different reason from the one
that actuated Henry. He simply wished
to conceal a defect in his stockings caused
by their having been cut out with circu-
lar saw.
