The daughter of Louis Roush, of
Broad Run w. Va, was married

West Creek A belling party visited
the happy couple in the evening and
demanded dollar and q half to buy
beer with. 1t was refused, and 'Wally
Grimm who came iuto the house for
the money, proceeded to get even by

soon shook him into a surrender.
The Martinsburg StateSman says,
eve chronicled last week the death
of Mrs. j. l.. T.. Combs, which sad
event occurred on last Wednesday
morning. On the same day a weep
ing willow tree, in the yard of Capt.
W. B. Colston's residence, which had
been planted by Mrs. Combs several
years ago, when Mr.. Combs occupied
the same premises, amp had attained
considerable size, fell over, giving
way at the roots. There was no Wis
IDLE cause for the collapse of the tree,
and no storm blowing at the time
1t was certainly remarkable coinci-

Auxiliary, resolution was passed
authorizing the publishing OF the pro.

TO make the report, we did not take
note in order to report The meeting.
But our confidence was misplaced;
the report appeared promptly in the
Jonrual, but not a word was furnished
the ARGUS. 1t seems to Us that in
order 10 let the people Of Preston
county know what the Auxiliary had
done during the past year the report
should have been published in the
