EDINBURG NOTES.

breath" This charge was made at the
telephone here last Monday night by one
receiving a message from Woodstock at
which. we learn, the sender became quite
enraced. Well, we should not wrong
fully accuse, the innocent.
Eugene Allen has left rs, and will spend
few days in Augusta county with his
parents, sisters and friends, and then he
will return to his distant home, Helena,
Montana. Does the HERALD follow him
Irwin Il Baker will pay the very high
est prices for all kinds of marketable pro-
duce.
A wear or two ago some persons had the
asdaciiv to inquire into the finances OF
the corporation, and on last Monday night
we were appealed to, to know "who were
so anxious to know where the money
goes ," As we did not know we could not
tell it brought out the remark, "lf the
truth were known, it was somebody who
maid very little or no taxes" This we
took as p strike at MS. but we can stand
it
Howard Shryook, a Young man OF
Stephen CITY, is spending few days here
visiting relatives. Hen pete is showing
him over the city. DO not fail Henry to
sbow him TO your Bes(t)sie's home.
1t will pay you to call at IRWIN &
Bakers. They are selling goods so cheap
YOU will be sure to buy.
The people of Rockingham were sur
prised with the novelty of commercial
drummer appearing in their midst some
time last week, on horse back, with his
samples packed IN a gHano sack. Rumor
saws he was a new man TO the firm, and
perhaps was not yet furnished with the
proper outfit. We wonder if It WASH
Sam Beach. He is another Of our popular
residents.
Miss Katie Bowman is of on visit to
friends in Rockingham, with whom, we
wish her couple of weeks of pleasant
enjoyment.
Our friend 2. =. Bowman, We learn, has
rented his mill property (Red Bank to
George Grim. "Ras7 is full Of vim and
we do not know his purpose Of quitting
as the product furnished by him gave gen
eral satisfaction. We are sorry for Sewell
when we contemplate that he had not
yet caught The Fox.
In your columns Of two weeks ago. we
notice a suggestion that the farmers oil
our county meet for the purpose OF con
sidering the question Of better roads. ms
would be conmendable, and when they
meet, we might suggest the propriety that
thew too consider the great drawback TO
good roads, which we think Is in great
measure owing to the grasping nature OF
the land owners by infringing upon the
domain of the public 10y fencing, etc
The BETTER roads Of Pennsylvania, spoken
of. is accounted for by the width 50
long as we cling to the present system OF
narrow roads, we can expect nothing but
that we have them il deplorable con-
dition.
Its no trouble for Irwin & Baker TO
show their goods and Judge always has
n smile on his face, especially when young
ladies call.
We do not much like 70 criticise, nor
will we, we'll only remark that few
venings since a good divine asked call
wicked persons in the congregation to hold
MP their hand" As none appeared, he
remarked. "NoNF-no, none within ten
miles Of this place, in their own estlma-
ton. are wicked" In this we think he 1t
mistaken as the distance includes Wood
stock, Maurertown, jim Sheet and Co
lnmbia Furnace. The next night he
asked all Christians present to bold up
hand. OF the male portion but -four
responded. one other than his own mem
bers. We believe there is difference be-
tween Christians and church members.
On last Sunday we attended the tenn
perance Sabbath school. We found here
the good sisters very earnestly, and Joint
