eral days last week. Wills many friends
will be pleased to know hat he will soon
go into the drug business at White Sulphur

and Ross Fork. The overlooking hall re-

vegetated on the Judith in all the exuber
ance OF a green bay tree. The reverend
gentleman in his first appearance scored a
decided success and we bespeak for his pas
torate a cordiality OF support on the part
| of the people that is rarely surpassed in
| older and more settled communities. The

too, as far as Philbrook is concerned, fol
