From the enormous quantity OF Chest
nut hulls that litter up the sidewalks and
store floors in Woodstock, a stranger
would suppose that the whole crop of the
county, and then some, was consumed In
this place. That many bushels Of these
nuts. worms included, are eaten here goes
without saying, and it is only necessary
to sit in a store or public place for little
while and listen to the inoessent crash OF
the huls and watch the untiring CLAP"
Gap Of the many jaws to convince any
Of this important fact.
The thieves with which this town is 50
literally cursed heep up their trade with
great industry Col. Z. L. Stickley lost
a lot of corn from his crib a few nights
since, and Tuesday morning brought us
the news of the breaking into, in robbery
the night before, Of Mr.. LindsmoOd's meat
store, under Twins building, corner Of
/ Main and Court streets. This is one OF
the boldest thefts these scoundrels have
perpotrated, as the locality IS one Of the
most public in the town and persons are
continually passing at all times Of the
night or day. IL does seem strange that
none Of these miserable dogs can be caught
or shot. Remember the reward Of the
finest gold watch and chain IN the United
States will DO given By the HERALD to
the frst person who IS 50 fortunate as TO
shoot one Of these thieves right in the act.
A prominent member OF the society
known as the S. s. s, who has been setting
box traps at the river near here, was
much surprised one morning last week,
when he discoye red that one Of his traps
contained an opossum. The angry look
Of the animal intimidated the young man
TO such an extent that be dared not try to
take him from the trap. So, shOuldering
trap o'possum and ALL started HON eward.
Just before reaching town be was over
whelmed to find that his prize had escap-
ed through the back end Of the trap.
Surely he must have been very absent
minded. or, perhaps he was in very deep
study, which caused him 70 let the o'pos-
sum escape in this manner. Just where
the o'possum is thought to have escaped,
however, Is where the young mans heart
throbs at = 2:30 gate, when he is on his
way 10 and from the river.
A very large crowd attended the
barbecue at Fishers Hill on last Friday.
The number would have been much
greater but for the unfavorable weather.
A number Of able speakers were present
an addressed the people who gave them
an unusually close and attentive hearing.
An abundance Of provcions were set ont
for all and every one seemed to enjoy the
day. Among the visitors were number
Of persons from tho country north west OF
Winchester, who came that distance to
hear their old favorite, Hon. II. II.
Riddleberger, speak. Although Re
publieans they cannot support Malone
and they returned to their homes more
firmly resol, ed than ever to work for BIZ
defeat in every honorable way until thu
close Of the polls.
