Miss Ducle Storm OF Sprlhgholu, 'n'oop
is visiting Miss Eta Miley.
Misses Pullam and Gearing, of Front
Royal, are visiting their uncle. Mr. NJ G.
Gearing, near this place.
An Edinburg pet crow swallowed la
dy's ear-rng the other day. lie was at
once imprisoned for the theft. In few
hours he returned the property and was
released
Jimmie Baker offers a suitable reward
for the return of the PANEL of garden
fence which was stolen from him week
or two ago. He thinks Johnny Swami
had something to do with Il.
The worthy Mayor Of Taylortown re-
ports Charlie Barhsm to have raised TO-
matoes this year weighing over ? pounds
This is large but, as the mayor IS trnth'
fnl. we must believe it to be 50.
The teachers and pupils of our school
were very much pleased on Wednesday oil
last week, with a visit from the super'n-
tendont of schools, J. b. McInturf. They
always give hearty reception to all visl-
tors.
In addition to those already mentioned
as attending the Normal being held IN the
school building of this place, we find MT
Frank Bauserman, of Maurertown, and
Miss Annie Moreland of Woodstock, now
also in attendance. This school. we think
will prove n success.
Had Abs our town sergeant, done his
duty on last Sunday evening, the Corpora
ton funds would have been somewhat re-
plenished the peace was very disgrace
fully disturbed, as reported by many pass
ers by at the time. Such scenes should
not, at any time, be allowed to pass I'M
noticed, more particularly when INDUCED
in on Sunday.
We were glad to meet, on last Sunday,
with our friend, Dan Kelley, and to see
him looking well and happy. Dams per-
ambulations used to drift toward Maurer-
town we think they have now changed,
for the present at least. Well, attractions
will sometimes change, particularly is this
the case when the young lady changes
her abode. Ida is in attendance to our
school, which accounts, Joe Downcy says,
for Dams visits.
Mr.. J. u. Rnker was here last week WIS.,
ting his son-in.law, Mr.. J. r. Baker. We
are always glad to see Jake; this time we
suppose he was here in the interest OF {.
T. O'Ferrall, az he Is in possession OF a
postoffice called Jumbo, in LOudoun coun-
ty. He failed, however, we think, in rec
oncilng our friend Jimmie, who is dis
Rusted and will no longer DO controlled to
vote for one as unreliable as c. I. OF.
Posting phosphate bills has become quite
an interesting and pleasant business as
our friend, Geo. f. Irwin. will acknowl-
edge it was so with him. when, on last
Saturday afternoon he gathered up bills,
hammer. tacks, &c, and, beng sccompa-
MED by Bessie, drove to the country Tor
the express purpose Of posting, but we
fear the business of the firm was, to
great extent, neglected. whilst seated by
the side of so fair and pleasant lady.
At present our town is very much en-
livened by the visitation of wild man,
whom our friend, A. l.. Silling, brought
with him from PocOhontas county, w. Va.
r. Alex. Edwards is his name, nativity
Dublin, Londonderry, Cork, or some other
point in could" Ireland. Bob Is very
acceptable guest at the Eureka House, and
proposes to stop with us couple OF months
ere locating somewhere in business. Hope
he will. in that time, become attached to
our town.
That was very good Joke played upon
YOU, "LalD on last Sunday morning. Re
member you have neighbors who are fond
of good ham. and don't let them hang too
public hereafter. This, it seems, howev-
or, terminated as a real theft.
There seems to be considerable com
plant, at this time, by citizens, who are
very much annoyed, by thieving from
their premises in the way of vegetation,
&c. Boys, it would be bad, indeed, if
some day, or night, you should get bored
with load of shot but it may happen.
In our notes of two weeks ago n notice
appeared urging upon our citizens the
necessity of taking some steps toward
cleaning up and identifying the last re-
pose Of the friends lying in the old ceme-
tory. This is badly needed, but we would
also suggest that a visit to the new ceme-
terry will disclose, we think, a much worse
neglect than that of the old. With one or
two exceptions the plats here are shame
fully negected-some in which honored
parents lie, others with sons and daugh'
tiers, with nothing marking their resting
place, and if there was. they could not he
found for the miserable growth Of weeds,
briars, &c. Ono day in year will suffice
and living relatives should certainly be
willing 10 give this or else hire an attend
ant, for the purpose of giving respectable
ity TO this-should be-beautiful home oil
the dead.
