the Episcopal church ut this place
last Sunday night. Mr.. Grammar
being our minister here some years
ago, was welcomed back with hearty
greeting.

ing protracted, Rev's. Stump and

have been converted and quite a
number are seeking at the altar.

DR.. w. j. Best and son, Carl, were

Rachael Bell, Mr.. J, Boyd, Messrs.
Robert Lamonj ST., and Jr., OF your
town, were in this village the first of
the week. &C. r. L. has returned
home much elated with his visit to
your place. He contemplates Wis
it soon again or just as soon as he
hears of another circus; says he
will take chair along with him the
next time so he won't get mixed up
with those reserved seats lie thinks
they are nuisance, but it seems he
made his way for one in u hurry.
Too thin, friend c., you took them
to be aristocratic seats, and you
thought that's where you belonged.
Next time you'll know how TO do
when you attend circus-especial-
ly If your dimes are scarce. Misses
Bessie and Maggie Burkhart, paid
their aunt, Mrs. Stewart, visit on
Saturday.
Morgan's Grove is being attended
by several of our citizens. A good
place for We editors, perhaps, you
can catch some newsy notes from
Jefferson. The Shepherdstown Reg
lister, edited by Mr.. Snyder, of that
place is spicy paper. Mr.. Samuel
Gold who has been on the sick list,
we are glad to say, is better. Many
thanks, Mr. Editor, for compliment
paid "Amia" last week; but you
know Editors will exaggerate little.
Mrs. Hattie Grantham, has returned
home from Middlesburg, This place
seemed to be partially invaded by
Martinsburgers last Sunday A
whoop of "Geminy, boys, look a
comm, from the small boys brought
the surprised natives to their doors
and windows, expecting to be shat
to pieces by an earthquake, cyclone
or something Of the kind. On look
ing out only q party of bicyclists
were seen vending their way in this
direction am sorry our "local
club" was out just then on little
recreation, or am sure they would
have been delighted to have enter
tanned them, but guess they en-
tertained themselves. AS it was
supper time, their appetites were APP
peased, what on / don't know, but
tits only supposition, and their
hearts made glad. The riders were
Messrs. A. l.. Martin, Cal. Myers,
Hugh McIllhenny, Henry Fitz, III,
S. Smith and Sam PAUL. Their
suits were quite becoming, and they
were quite courteous crowd of
young gentleman, but a mighty jolly
set. Aftera hort stay here their lead
er called them.together Otis funnya
married man always takes the lead)
and they departed. In starting, one
ofthe party seemed to be reasoning to
himself about something, and finally
lost bis strength and away he tum-
bled He says the stars were visible
on all sides. His Comrades who saw
him so eminently situated few sec
onds before, looked up in amaze
ment and exclaimed whats the
matter? Say, Henry, what's the
mattter?' and they seemed astonish
ed to find that it was Fit)z. Don't
guess he had very hard one, for he
wasn't long surviving. Come again
gentlemen, you are always welcome
