The obsequies of Mr.. VIM. Small

son-in-law's, Charles Mcdonald, near
Shepherdstown, took place at Mt.
Zion, three miles north of Leetown,
last Friday. The officiating clergy

Small was an esteemed citizen of our
burg, and it is with deep regret we
learn of his death. To the bereft fam
lily we extend our sympathies and
may they be cheered by knowing that
he died not as one without hope but
safely crossed over the bridge of time
and entered that Mansion prepared
for those who are faithful until the
end.

We mentioned in our items last week
that Miss Lula Cunningham was visit
ing friends in the vicinity of Smith
field. Some of our boys observed the
notice and thinking perhaps that she
wnnld remain for some time they
were DESTROYS proving their gallant
ry and appreciation of her visit and
meant togovern themselves according
ly. The results were that Miss Fannie
had six gentlemen to entertain last
Sunday-eve. She gave square chat
to five of them but before friend Jo-
seph's turn came he had drifted into
the land of dreams. Alas! for poor
Joe. Now esteemed ladies five have
done wrong in making note of this,
since it seems to be the fashion, we
claim the right to make application
tor pardon and INDUCED in the hope
that the same will be granted. X.
