MILL CITY ITEMS.

Miss Lizzie Lantz returned last We'd
nesday from a very pleasant visit to Mt.
Jackson.
Miss Matte Coflelt is spending this
week with her sister, Mrs. L'naweaver,
near Woodstock.
Mrs. Phil Glenn paid our city flying
visit last week. We hope the next time
le comes she viii make her stay longer.
Mrs. L. Laniz, who we mentioned be-
fore as being very i'll, is still, we are sorry
to say, unable to leave her room.
These beautiful moonlight nights enable
rs to see very plainly; and, we certainly
think. If all shawls and capes are as much
trouble to keep on as those worn by two
ladies Sunday night we would advise
them to leave them at home even if the
nights are little COOL
The party given by the Misses Brown, al
their home, Monday night was an occasion
long to be remembered by those who had
the pleasure of attending. The invita-
lions had been previously issued for thi:
"happy event." and as the evening ap.
preached with supreme brightness it in
spired the hearts Of all the INVITED guests
with an irresistible desire to be present
and by o'clock all those invited had ar
rived The ladies wore costumes anC
flowers which contrasted beautifully t.
the ppre maideulr lovelluess Of bOtt
blonde and brunette. The gentlemen wer'
very gallant and looked particularly
handsome. Refreshments we're seryet
which were greatly enjoyed by all. Il
was not until late hour that the guest
realized that the time had come for then
to take their departure. LILAC"

Justice at Last.

The apparently interminablo case o
John Ms ers, the last of the buuco robbers
has Ieached the end, and Myers goes t.
The peniton.ia larry for twenty-three months
the enc month having been taken off o
the two years in order that he might b,
released at nearly the same time Will
Anthony.
A jury Of Rockingham people had been
impannelcd aud the trial about to be com
menced when Myers, through his counsel
proposed TO compromise the Gaze. Ia
view of the expense, the uncertainty OF
trials, the delays of appeals, and above
all the advanced age and precautions health
of Mr.. KibIer, induced the Common
wealtL's Attorney to agree upon about
the same time that was given Anthony
and John Myers Will soon be wearing the
zebra suit along with his partner in crime.
The punishment is light one in view
of the offense and the necessity of break
ing up the bunco business which has
grown to such an alarming extent that no
one seems to be safe against the artiul
wlles of these shrewd scoundrels.
But after all these men have paid pref
ty dearly for the smart little game they
played in Shenandoah county. Since
November sth, 1890, they have been con-
fined in Jail, and this with their terms IN
the penitentiary and the expense Of their
numerous trials, which we suppose cost
them several times the amount they stole
from Mr.. KILLER, is something not to be
laughed at.
The history of Myers and Anthony,
lrevious to their appearance in this coun-
ty, is one of continuous crime, and every
thing goes to prove that they are danger
ous members of society. Their trials
created feeling of deep interest through
out III, county, as they were most ABLY
defended by w. r. Alexander, Holmes
Conrad and Gen'l J. II. Williams. and
just as ably prosecuted by Capt. J. c.
Baker and NJ. L. Walton, every inch Of
ground having been fought over with
consunmate legal skill

Court Day.

Monday last being county court day
brought a pretty fair crowd to town.
Business seemed to be good and some
faces wore a broad smile. Milk shakes
and soda water, ice cream, etc, were III
lively demand, while a large number who
disposed such devices for keeping cool
boldly and freely grapp,ed with the same
old cred eye" which in some cases, stood
the brave but unfortunate fighters on
their heads before night.
The horse market was fairly good, and
prices were better than Tor some time
past. About sixty-fye or seventy horse'
changed hands. Among those 81 were
two handsome young mares, aged resper
lively Fl We and -four years, raised hy Mr.
Ed. Hollar and bought of him By Mr. d
Sondhiemer for three hundred dollars.

A serioug ARRAY.

A difficulty occurred on Cedar Creek
in this county, on Friday of last week
between Frank Wymer and Uriah Brill,
in which the latter was dangerously in
ured. 1t seems as if the two men had
had a previous difficulty over some bark,
and meeting IN the road the trouble was
renewed, Wymer finally daring Brill to
dismount, which he did, and while sit
ting down his basket in which be was
taking some produce to the store, Wymer
struck him over the head with a fence
stake fracturing his skull and causing a
very dangerous injury. Wymer who is
young man was arrested and sent to
jail at this place, and on Monday last
the grand jury indicted him for assault
with intent to kill. The result Of BrilP'
injuries will probably determine the time
for his trial.

The members of the Lutheran church
paid a surprise visit TO their parochial
residence on May 5lh, which was the
twelfth anniversary OF their pastors oc-
cupancy Of this pastorate
The bright faces of those who greeted
them twelve years ago looked no older as
they, in the course of the evening, recall
ed the intercourse which has been so
pleasant, and the pastor and family their
many kindnesses and much forbcarance.
The lapse OF time seemed only to be
marked by the absence Of loved ones from
the parsonage circle, and the growth OF
children into young men and maidens.
Beside the greater pleasure of theiI
company they lett souvenirs which will
he daily reminders of their visit. Theii

withheld from them.

EXCHANGE NOTES.

The Quicksbarg correspondent of the

whilst Miss Ella KIpps, who lives at Mr..
John ID. Olinger's near here, was in
the woods hunting turkey nests she found
saber IN the scabbard. sl'o belt and
hol, They we're lying ander an old
pine log, and had evidently been hid
there during the late war. The scabbard
laid with the point up hll which doubt
less prevented the water from entering,
as the saber blade was as bright as new
and the handle was a little rusted. Miss
| Kipps prizes the saber very highly as a
war relic.

saumaville and Mt. olive News.

DEAR HERALD:-
We wish to correct
through yOur valuable columns an as
sault made against the treasurer Of the
Saumsvil.e and Mt Olive Mutual Ad-
vancement Matrimonial Society. This
society was gotten up with the best of
motives. For the small sum Of $3.50 we
ave Il lot and Chance for one of the
lady members. if the purchaser can ges
her. We claim that an assault on one is
an assault on al. Mr. "Quail GALL" saJ S,
in the ViygiaidR and Neics, of last week,
that the company had one of its active
men at work trying TO annex Fishers
Hill to the boom. We beg to say that We
have no kuowled of the truth of the
statement, bat this we do know, that a
very prominent delegate at the convention
urged his presence upon the society a
vice-president. Bat the society very pO-
litely assured the delegate that any more
old stays would be detrimental to the
boom. The society did urge upon tina
delegate to take stock as this might better
his condition, giving HIM the privilege OF
! buving a lot for $3.50, and a chance at one
of our most ostimdble young ladies'. We
do not know who Quail QuilD is but
suppose HIM to be an old "batch" from
Fishers Hi, who has been OF the matii-
monial list for some time, and we would
assure the gentleman that life is too faI
spent TO insure any success in any way in
the form of a boom. We will say, in con.
clusion, that Fishers Hill can rest per
fectly easy, that no trusts or monopolie'
will be very apt to gobble up Fisher Z
Hill OF any of its beautiful lakes. But /
you have any desirable ladies, which w
know you haye, we would gladly affiliate
with them. Respectfully,
The SAUMsvmLE AND Mt. OLIVE MI
