EDINBURG NOTES.

Mr.. David Z. Evans, an old and re-
spected citizen of Edinburg, died at his
home here ON Friday, Oct. Doth, aged IS
years. 10 months and day. He leaves a
widow and two sons, Mr.. F. Dr. Evans, Of
this place, and another son, James, who
has been away from here for number OF
years.
Two books of music belonging to the
Edinburg Coruet Band were lost between
this place and Woodstock, on last Court
day. If they are returned the finder Will
DO cleyerly remembered and treated to the
very sweetest strains Of music they con
tain.
J. b. Shelter, Jr., of this place, is now
at Sandy Hook taking care Of a mashed
finger received between the bumpers
whilst coupling cars at that place week
or two laro. Bernie, be careful, those
things meet sudden aud hard.
Charlie Barham is happy. It is a girl,
and he says it shall be called Frances
Cleveland. We suggest the addition of
Maria, and if the next shall be a boy, call
him George BrinskI as reminders. And
Charlie, be careful how you get into po-
litioal controversies with the women.
The genial couutenance and large body
OF Capt. Geo J. Grandstafl' is again to be
seen upon our streets after an absence Of
a couple Of months at his post Of duty in
Washington His friends who are many,
are glad to meet him.
The Edinburg Cornet Band are quite
proiuse in heir praise Of the liberal and
hospitable manner in which they were
entertained at the home Of that whole
souled Republican, Mr.. Slas schaeiler,
whilst they were furnishing music at his
grand pole raising on Saturday, Oct. 10th.
They claim that he is the prince of Re-
pubhcans, and cordially extend TO him
vote Of thanks for that generosity that
will long he remembered by tho entire
band.
We learn Of nsults given to several
subscribers to tae HERALD by the threat
enings attached to the dunning notices
sent to them. This should not be, but it
Is, and you may explain, We know, with
some until the "Orange blossoms Of
Florida and the lake found shores of
Michigan" meet, or until Cleveland IL
elected to second term, without avail.
1t IS well to threaten in some cases; those
who never pay, like myself, for instance
but with thoss who are ever ready and
willing we suppose It's not right.
MISS Nellie Painter is of for few
weeks enjoyment in Washington city,
visiting friends and seeing the sights
Her many friends here hope that her city
friends take good care ef her "lestP she DO
run over by tho police or street cars, or
they by her. We all hope for her safe re-
turn.
Mrs Robt. w. Burke, and daughter.
Miss Rose, are with Miss Nellie, ana
doubtless are having just a splendid time.
If the wishes Of host of friends prevail
their visit will be a delightful one.
Old Belle, the famous old riding horse of
DR.. p. Below, died on Saturday last at the
extreme old age Of 81 years. Probably no
horse in this county has performed longer
or more faithful work than old Belle.
Over all the miles of country, along every
road and by-path of the large section over
which her masters extensive practice eX-
tended, by day and by night, in sun
shine and in rain, IN summers heat and
winters cold has this faithful old animal
borne her Master on his brands Of mercy,
az he carried relief and often life itself to
the sick and suffering. Well and faith
fully have You played your part. May no
foul buzzards beak tear thy flesh, but
covered by the clods Of the valley may thy
body rest while thy honest, true and
faithful spirit enjoys all the bliss of horse
heaven.
