We are extremely sorry to learn that
Mrs. Geo. Guthrie of Fishersville is lying
| Ill from pneumonia. In the early part OF
! this week her case was considered by her
medical attendant as critical, but later
accounts give her many friends to hope
that she will recover. Ga Saturday Mr..
Charles Guthrie, her son, who is employed
In W. Va. bauk, in response to tele-
gram announ cling his mothers illness,
arrived at Fishersville and is now at the
sick bedside. Mrs Guthrie is greatly
loved throughout this section and the pro-
fOundest sympathy is felt for her in her
illness. If the good wishes and prayers OF
her nelghbors can aid in her restoration,
then surely the good lady will speedily re-
cover.
We regret to announce that it has
pleased the G. & O. company to remove
Mr.. X. Weaver, who for SO many years
acted as their agent in FishersvilIe so &C
ceptably to all concerned, and put him in
charge at Millboro. AT the same time
Mr.. W IS condition is bettered as the Mill
boro station pays much better salary. yet
so universally had he won the affections
of our people by his affabe, courteous be-
havior, his ever read mess to serve those
who had dealings with him, his generous,
noble, self sacrificing disposition, that we
are 10th to part with him. While we re.
greet his removal we are glad to know that
his successor is gentleman who, like Mr..
Weaver, has won the esteem of our people
during his stay here as night operator
MIR. VIM. Watts. Mr. Watts was raised
in an adjoining district of this county and
has been known to our people all bis life.
He is the right man in the right place.
On the 18th Of Ap1, Mr.. J. William
Parish, one of our most popular young men,
married in Washington one of Staunton's
fairest daughters, Miss Maggie Robertson.
The young pair went to W. on the B. &
0. excursion train and on the day after
their arrival were joined together for life,
From Washington they made tour north
and returned to Stanton to live.
The young bride j. quite noted for her
many excellent t att of character and
our friend Parish 10 70 be congratulated on
having secured SO lovely companion. None
the less fortunate is the bride, as more
active, Industrious. honorable young man
would be hard to find than him to whom
she has given her hand and heart. Sue
cess beyond their highest hopes is Rover's
wish for them.
Mr.. j. I. Maupin7s sons have begun
operations with their steam saw mill on
the land purchased by them from Adam
McChesney. Knowing these, young men
as we do we can readily predict success in
their new business. They propose to put
the mill to its fullest capacity and keep it
running at that lick. Those needing build
ing material can be furnished by them at
short notice. The mill is located in the
midst of of fine body Of timber in this
section and the lumber sawed by the Mesrs
Mauphin will be first class in every re-
Spect.
Well didn't the 500 or 1000 people who
stood on the streets of Stanton Saturday
awaiting for the ''show''-present ludi-
crous aspect as the thing" passed?
Such burlesoue was never before perpe-
trated in these parts. And never before
did as many people fee undecided as to
whether to kick themselves or the other
fellow.
When we think of it we almost bus.
But in all the crowd there was one photo
grapher-he, who found so good point
of observation in the VIRGINIAN Office
window-Col. G. The Colonel is right.
"a fellow always gets his moneys worth,
no matter how poor the show" Rover
got double pay by seeing the chagrin of
the rest. Col. q. excepted, OF course,
BY the way, while the ''show' was
showing in the City of Waynesboro, an
alteration took place between two young
men. John Wise, train Inspector q. & o.,
and - Gaulding, who lives near Waynes,
boro, and before the fun ended. Gaulding
drew revolver and let drive, the ball
striking Wise in the stomach, infict ing a
wound that at first was thought serious.
but which on later advices proves to be
but slight. Drs. Myers and Fox attended
Wise, and Sergt. Ferguson tool. charge Of
and locked up Gaulding and female who
seems to have been the cause of the ARRAY.
The trial was to have taken place Satur-
day, but we haven't had the particulars.
Note-We stole this articles from Thomas,
Waynesboro being in his jurisdiction, so
n pardon the theft on receiving credit.
