EDINBURG, VA, March q.
DEAR HERALD We do not profess to
WELD the pen OF "Charlotte Elizabeth
nor do we possess or claim much proii-
cheney. and such really would be required
to do Justice and give the distinctness our
present subject deserves, though inclins-
ton inspires us to do our best.
The entertainment given on last satur-
day night, by the Ednbnrg school, was
quite an enjoyable affair TO those at least
who were fortunate enough to be seated
in close proximity to more than see the
lips Of the little ones move. We were not
however, thus fortunate, but were content
in seeing the beauty, the smiles and the
general appearance of those taking part, as
indicative of WELL DONE.
The opening song, "Merry Greeting by
the school, IS or 100 voices, was well rem
dered.
We should hardly discriminate, but in
few cases, can't help. Daisy Dinges, Ella
Belew, Carrie Windle and Bertha Wissler
formed a group of sweet little 'rose buds"
Sweetness certainly deserves notice.
Nevis advertising for a wife next we
characterize. Olive, representing the
widow, being his first applicant, made the
unfortunate mistake Of taking the chill
dren with her. Stella, the Irish bridget,
next calls, but, as in many real cases, her
fault seemed to be kno,cing and saying too
much. Now, Carrie, the poetess, FORUM
ately lust fills the bill, and Newt quickly
grasps the opportunity and triumphantly
plides away, his countenance showing
plainly the blissful hope. that, in after
years, this may earnestly be my lot.
Beautiful Bellies and Beautiful Dudes
was certainly beautifully represented by
Nellie Marston, Jessie Tapley, Matte
Whitmer, Mollie wIndle and Maud MUIR
ray, and John Grove, Edwin Wissler, Ben
ME Miley, Dorse Hisey and Fred Grove.
Sweet in fact looked the beautiful Bellies,
whilst. by caucsture, we certainly repre-
sent that Edinburg is not easily outdone
in Dudeism.
The speech Of Harry Miller would indi-
cate a prospect for Harry, in that line
might be in time, not far behind some
other Harry that we know Of.
We now close, of course, with the most
laughable of the program, "Johnny smuk
err" caricatured by % or 80 characters
Franks by no means the least laughable
In fact we felt an uneasiness for the side
of Dad and DR.. Fred, as they rolled oye
the benches, in laughter.
If Miss Edith Miller will excuse MS, w
will say that her part, in all places rep
resented by her, was deserving Of the ut
t most praise and applause, especially in th
farce, "The Train to Morrow"
The proceeds, notwithstanding the smal
: admission, 10 and 10 cents, amounted t
between II and Is dollars.
The teachers, we think, deserve grea
r credit, not only for the success Of the Ell
r tertainment, but also for the general sati'
e faction in which the school was conducte
o during the term. JAY BER

WINCHESTER, Va. March 2i.-William
Mcclure. aged g., residing IN Timber
Ridge, this county, murdered his wife,
Mary, about the same age, yesterday and
then shot himself ia the neck with q rifle.
When found he was sitting in chair
with the rifle between his legs. 1t is sup
posed he struck his wife with cane,
fracturing her skull. No cause is assigned
for the tragedy. Mcclure was large
man and quick tempered. His wife was
a small woman. 1t is thought that he
struck her in a quarrel, and then, strick-
en- with remorse, killed himself
A gentleman writing from the scene Of
the Mcclure murder and suicide, says /:
Last Friday morning William Mcclure
wanted his wife to send his little grand
children to the store for some groceries,
but his wife wanted him to wait until
after dinner Mcclure got into terri BILE
passion and strnck his aged wife over the
head with an iron poker, telling her TO
the floor, after which he got razor and
cut her throat from ear to ear. Then
seating himself in a char, he placed the
muzzle of bis gun to his head, touched the
trigger with his cane and shot himself
through the head, dying instantly. His
two little grandchildren were the only
witnesses Of the sad butchery. His son
David Mcclure, worthy young man, wa
at the barn at the time tho murder oc
Cured. The affair has created great sen
sation in this part of the county. Mcclure
lived about two miles from where MillarC

As biography is to young people, 50 are
articles descriptive of the growth of cities
valuable to the pushing citizens OF am
bitious towns. Therein may be seen the
application Of sound principles of political

in Harper's Magazine for April must be
highly commended. 1t is by Deshler
Welch, and describes in full the advant-
ages and wealth possessed by the city OF
Columbus, Ohio, and records its marvel

The Cumberland Valley Railroad ex'

to Winchester by next October We hope
this nav be the case, for we are always
ready to rejoice over any good that may
happen the good old town of Winchester
but they should not gamble on the trains
Of the Cumberland Valley scooting in so
soon as the above. We feel satisfied that
the road will be built to Winchester and
that before the end of time, but railroad
building IS proverbially slow process
and if the trains reach the historic old
city in year from next October it will
be doing pretty we'll If the dry spell
could be taken off of Winchester no doubt
things would move along much smoother
and faster. But the famous old metropolis
Of the lower Valley will certainly get the

of seefng the line extended up through

The old proverb has it that necessity
is the mother OF invention" but certain
married lady, residing on DOG Corner"
on High street, IN this place, has fully
demonstrated that "ingenuity" is not only
the mother of invention, bat also makes a
very good and economical mother for
Young chickens. To prove this she took
a worn ont wire hustle, covered it with
some dark colored material and lined 1t
with chicken feathers, and placed it in
such way that the little orphan i chicks
could creep under it. 1t has answered
so we'll that the little fellows have not
discovered the cheat, while the old hen

The robins have made their appearance
and their CHEEKY and pleasant warbling
give proof that the reign of ice and snow
is almost over. Remember that 1t is
against the law to shoot these insect birds
at any time. The penalty Is pretty
heavy one. and we hope it will be enforced
in every case. They are:the farmers and
gardeners best friends, and the person
who fails to report every violation Of the
law is not only guilty of a violation him
self but is standing in his own light. Let
the farmers and all right thinking per-
sons see that this human and absolutely
necessary law is rigidly enforced in every
instant, and it will not be long before the
robin Can live IN safety everywhere.
