BUNKER HILL ITEMS.

A great deal of corn is standing out
in the shocks, and no doubt will be
out all winter. We think farmers
should gather their out door grain in
due season.
Mr.. Clarence Noll, who has been
engaged in the mercantile business
with Mr.. J. III. Miller, has been on a
visit to his parents on the Tuscarora.
Newsy articles are extremely dull
and hard to catch.
Mr.. J. v. Mcintyre and friend,
from your place, paid us flying visit
on Sunday.
Colds are quite the style now.
W.o paid an extensive visit to
friends in North Berkeley few days
since, which we will give a more ex-
tended notice of in future time.
Many persons were greatly outdone
on Saturday last, on account of the
non-appearance of their papers. The
papers were forgotten and as a conse-
qnence we waited until Monday.
| Tight fitting sleeves are going out of
style, and now the girls can return
their best fellows embrace without
ripping doz. yards of stitching out
of her Sunday dress. "-AHasatd Argus.
We endorse the above, but how
SILLY, their best fellows don't give
them chance.
If hear right Miss Laura Cunning
ham, of Frederick Co., Va, was the
guest of the Misses Stuckey this week.
Mrs. VIM. Noll paid visit to her
daughter the first of the week.
Maj. Stuckey paid flying visit to
friends on the Tuscarora Wednesday.
We were grieved last Saturday on
receiving this brief, sad notice
Little Agnes is dead" the bright
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. O.
Hamilton, who we all knew and low
ed, she being, so Small, yet school
mate. We know that she was bright,
loving little spotless lamb of the fold,
and her grieved parents, her sister,
and her dear old grandfather can only
tell how sadly she is missed. They
who fondly caressed and loved her
and prayed SO earnestly for her restor-
alton, at last resigned for her to leave
them. AS they full we'll knew it was
the Lords doings, not theirs. She
was always happy, and now her
merry chatter is DER, her small pat
tering feet, which ran to meet us so
often when we passed her home, are
cold with her body. Agnes was a
favorite with her schoolmates, and
now to look back only a few weeks
ago she seemed well and merry. 1t
can only tell us how uncertain this
life is. She bore her sufferings brave
~, and when death was near she ut
tered this last dear word mamma"
Who can tell her mothers feelings
when she knew her child was SO near
to death; but He said, suffer thy
child to come unto nee and forbid it
not, for such is the Kingdom of
Heaven" 1t is a precious comfort
to know that Agnes has no sorrow or
suffering to contend with, but is hap
py with her saviour.
Weep not dear friends, nor mourn
for her,
Oh stay the falling tear;
The righteous in his death has hope,
Nothing have you to fear. w.
Mr.. B. X. Cline, of Pittsburg, Pa,
is on visit to his parents at this
place.
Mrs. VIM. Noll has returned home
after few days. sojourn in this viii
lage.
Mr.. r. N. Stewart, our valued and
esteemed friend near Darkesville, was
in our village few days since look
ing after some business interests.
We attended the Presbyterian Mite
Society at Mr.. VIM. Kilmer's at this
place on Saturday night, which prov
ed to be quite pleasant affair.
The service in the M. E. Church, at
this place, which has been postponed
on account of unavoidable circum-
stances for the last two weeks will be
again resumed on Sunday next. Ser
vice by Rev. d. A. Foard at O'Clock
p. M.
Mr.. Harry Ronemous paid flying
visit home last Saturday and Sunday,
near Dufields, Jefferson County,
His visits are quite rare, and we judge
much appreciated, as he looks sleepy
and happy commingled when he
returns.
A few days ago as our esteemed
neighbor Mr.. John w. Lamon over
hauled a number of old books which
were untouched in a bookcase for a
number of years, he found a bottle
Labelled, Port Wlne," dated 1884.
The bottle had been encased in a room
without fire or warmth near, passing
through our recent rigid winters
which evidences the fact of it being
e and unadulterated. The books
bookcase being the property of
Bro. Col. Lamon, it is supposed
some of his clerks at some former
period hid away their treasure and
either forgot of its whereabouts or
had no opportunity to test its quail
ties. We congratulate Mr.. Lamon
on his good fortune, and he may bless
his stars it came in good season, as
Xmas is near, and its qualities are as
yet to be tested. No doubt he will
invite his numerous friends forward
and have friendly tasting party.
AS it has been standing SO long we
should think it more than palatable
by this time. AS old Port is rare no
doubt he values it highly.
