A rapid volley of half dozen or more
pistol shots aroused the people along
Main street, south Of the Geary House,
aboxt II O'Clock on Wednesday night.
The last shot was followed by footsteps
OF a man on the BRICK pavements going
at speed that would have made Maud
S. tuin green with envy. Who fired the
shots or the cause OF them is a mystery
we have beer unable to solve.

widow OF the late Samuel Fultz, Of Cedar
Creek, was brought 10 Mr.. Jacob Keller's
Valley Inn, this place, few days ago to
undergo a surgical operation for the re-
moval of a very painful growth of a
can~erous or malignant character. On
Monday afternoon the operation was most
successfully performed by Dr. D. D.
Carter, assisted by DR.. Sydnor, of Stras-

patient has been entirely relieved of her
sufierings, aud is rapidly recovering.
From tie Hagerstown Globe, of this

John Reis,l died at Mechanicsburg,
Pa, on the Sth of this month from gan
creme, which was caused by an injury to
his foot and ankle in a stage coach wreck
at Pugh's Run, a mile or two north of
Woodstock, in 1850. Two weeks before
his death his foot was amputated in the
hope of arresting the disease, but without
avail. Reigel sued Parish & Co, the
stage owners, in the circuit court at
Woodstock, and recovered $4,000 dam
ages. Mr.. Henry Carper, an old and much
respected citizen, now living near Edin-
burg, was the driver of the stage at the
time of the accident.
Mr.. Robt. J. Walker, of this county,
has been appointed to receive and select
samples of wheat and other grain for ex-
hibition at the coming great Worlds Fair
at Chicago These SAMPLES are to be first
put on exhibition at the Shenandoah
County Fair, and from there the best Sc
Iections will be reserved for Chicago. This
is matter of great Importance to the
people of Shenandoah, our farmers es-
pecially, and should receive their active
support. Full particulars and iniorma-
ton can be had by addressing Mr.. r. j.
Walker, at Hawkinstown, or Capt. Jno.
Fl. Grabill, secretary of the Shenandoah
County Fair, Woodstock, Va. We hope
to speak of this matter again in our next
issue.
There certainly can be no good reason
WHY the foot bridges in the southern end
of town bave not been replaced long ago,
The attention of the town council has
been repeatedly called to this matter, bat
tbey seem to have no consideration for the
convenience, or rather the actual neeessl-
ties of the people of that part of town, as
well Is those of a large number besides
who must frequently cross these streams.
How long wonld such condition OF affairs
have been allowed to exist any where
near the heart Of town Not single day
instead of the two or three months as has
been the case in this shameful neglect OF
duty. 1t looks as if the people of that
mart of town mist pay their taxes aud
besides do all the public work of theil
section at their own expense. What has
become of the councils committee or
streets ard sidewalksl Have they ever
given this important matter single
thought
