Waynesburg Independent
For some weeks past Greene
county soldier who served in Co. F.,
9TH w. Va. Volunteers has been
furnishing some interesting histor-
ical articles of that company. An
other member of the company sends
the following article which appeared
in print % years ago:
RosNEY, w. VA, Nov. Ave the
Greene County Guards will ever,
with grateful hearts, bear in remem-
brance the patriotism of ladies we
left behind, whose prayers and tears
have more than once moved the
Great Ruler of the Universe in be-
half of our beloved country, and will
ever be remembered by the Greene
County Guards as objects of their
deepest and kindest affections. The
ladies in the neighborhood of New
Brownsville, Blacksville and jolly
town are worthy of our highest es-
TEEN and gratitude. They have
contributed clothing ofvarious kinds
to protect us from the chilling blasts
and the storm. Our thanks are es-
pecially returned to Misses Mary
Ann Strosnider, Fannie Brock and
Louisa Golden, who have bent every
energy to assist Rev. Mr.. Laughlin
and lady to procure for the contribu-
ton so much needed. The wagons
arrived from New Creek with boxes
containing the donations. At the
request of the company Rev. Mr..
Laughlin appointed Thomas II.
Meighen, ii. w Taylor and Eli
Brant a committee to receive the
goods and make distribution. They
opened the boxes, and found they
contained l23 blankets, quilts and
coverlids; 46 pairs of socks, 20 pairs
of shirts, l6 undershirts, pillows,
l5pairs of drawers, one pair of pants,
one bucket of honey and three
cheese. Certain articles were di-
rected to certain members Of the
company, and were distributed as
directed. The remainder was given
to the needy in the company. The
value of the donation made by the
people of the community named was
$3.50. itasi In9 81
The following resolutions were
adopted by the company:
WHEREAS, 1t has happened in our
day and generation that the best
on earth has been assail-
ed By band of mercenary traitors
who never received anything but
blessings, many of them being fed,
clothed and schoolcd by it; and
WHEREAS, 1t being our highest
to transmit the government
to posterity unimpaircd, the liberal
heart felt gifts from the ladies and
friends at home serves to strengthen
us in our purposes; therefore, be it
Resolued, That this kindness has
overwhelmed and filled our hearts
with the deepest gratitude, and their
we will cherish through life.
Resolred, That the comfortable
and acceptable gifts of these ladies
have endeared them to us, and as
long as we have a tongue to speak |
or arm to raise, the government that
has protected us shall protect them.
Resolred, That whatever may be
our fate, it is our earnest wish that
the kind donors may enjoy the bless
ings of liberty so dearly cherished
bv us all
Resotred, That a vote of thanks
be rendered Rev. r. Laughlin for his
effort in procuring the above
articles, and we regard him more
than ever the true and tried friend
Of the company.
Resolved, That copy of these
proceedings be published in the

Solid Sense.

Two young men, school teachers
of this county, are here digging dirt
on the railroad. They had nothing
else to do, and are doing this. They
deserve great praise. The work is
honorable, of course, but there is an
idea ahoat that nice young men
mustn't perform manual labor. These
young men, who will attend the
school, here that opens May oath,
have no such foolish idea.-Ksng-

Fairchance.

Il AlktHANNE, A., MAY o. Oul
worthy and excellent paper reaches
us every Thursday noon. We greet
its coming as we would our friends
coming to visit us. 1t brought us
last week letter from the "Buzzard
Glory" correspondent, in Cheat
Neck, and this week a reply to the
same, from a Cheat Neck girl resid.
ing at Fairchance We haven't
found out who this lady is, but are
going to, for the reason that we APP.
preciate the esteem she still has for
her lady companions.
Here comes another Cheat Neck
girl at Fairchance, who kindly asks
a short space in your columns for a
few words of defence. The very idea
of "Buzzard Glory correspondent,
who, thinks he can make amends for
his former letter by writing such a
flattering one as he did last week
No, never can he regain our esteem
for him by such. Does he think us
so ignorant that he can flatter us by
his words of deceit? Of l might call
them such, for ] think them none
other. / think ifany of us conclude
to get married we can be recon-
mended in other ways than by being
advertised in the paper. If we
should start out very soon on the
hunt of a husband, we do hope we
will not be so unfortunate as to get
started in the direction of Taylor
town. l want to know how he can
recommend us to be of the highest
standard in every particular, when
he has called us jealous hearted.
The Cheat Neck lady correspond
ent did not say positively that she
would have. two weddings to report
in her next letter, but only thought
she would.
Died, on the 7th inst, at his home
in Fairchance, of pneumonia, Elias
Mcintyre, aged about seventy-ive
years. Funeral sermon was preach
ed by Rev. Mr.. GLADDEN., of the M.
P. church, assisted by Revs. Bailey,
McCarty and Mcintyre. Mr.. McIn-
tyre was, for number years, a resi-
dent of Monongalia county, and was
member of the M. p. church for AZ
years.

What has become of the Jones

scared out, or is he away keeping
''bach?"
We conclude that the lady writing
from here last week, is of the oppo-
site sex, are we right?

Prof ID. B. Purinton, of the Uni

careful reading and considerable ex-
perience in teaching the subject.
He will use his material next year

will have them published. The
book will probably contain about
600 pages, and we do not hesitate in
saying that it will be superior to any
text book on that subject now in
