The Baltimore Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, will COM
mence its session on Wednesday OF next
week, at Harrisonburg. 1t viii be, as it
Away is, large and interesting gather
ing Those who are not able to attend
but wish to keep up with the daily pro-
ceedings, can do SO, 10y subscribing for
the Daily Conference Register, which will
be issued from the office of the Rocking
ham Register, and will contain a full and
accurate account of everything of inter
est as it transpircs each day.
In all probability there are more saw
mills in active operation in Shenandoah
and the Other counties of the Valley and
the adjoining sections of West Virginia,
than has ever been the case before. This
is on account of the killing of the pine
timber by the pestferous insect that only
comparatively short while ago, and for
the first time, made its baneful appear
ance in this country, and the consequent
necessity of working the dead trees up as
rapidly as possible before they become
utterly worthless. 1t is hard to estimate
the amount of damage this destruction of
the pine timber has caused, bat it must
simply prove enormous.
Rev. VIM. Dinwiddee, d. d., Evangel-
ist of the Synod of Virginia, will preach
in the Presby terian church Thursday
night, March "a. This will be the be-
ginning of series of services that will
coptinue night and day for some time.
All the people of the town are cordially
invited to attend the meetings, and the
Christian people to come with the prayer
that God will bless the meetings to the
salvation of the precious souls of their
friends and loved ones

A young man calling himself Gill
Thomas, and who has an unlimited
amount of gall and cheek, scooped in
about $40 in this place on Monday night
by means of what be called a free concert.
He first played on several instruments at
the same time, sang couple of songs.
and then put mp so called silver cap,
to be votsd TO the most popular lady at
ten cents a vote or three for quarter
The trick took, and the boys have now
the satisfaction Of knowing that
they let this cute chap work them
out of the snug sum of $40. He then
went to Ednburg and informed the peo-
pie there that Woodstock was the rott, nest
place be ever struck. He certainly found
things pre- tty soft here. From the news
papers we judge he is finding many rotten
towns.
TIE question of plentiful water sup
ply for the town. especially IN case of fire,
is now being seriously considered by our
people. The general opinion seems to ba
that the most feasible plan is that of
reservoir situated at sOmo point on the
high grounds west or rather northwest of
the railroad, supplied by pumping from
one of the wells, probably the artesian or
drilled well at the foundry and machine
shops. In this way a sufficient pressure
could certainly be obtained to force We
ter from plugs through any length Of hose
and over tie highest houses and points
IN the town, and this without having to
resort, as many other less favorably To-
Gated towns have, to an expensive water
tower. AS we are now situated it would
be almost impossible to successfully cope
with a large fire. and in a town of as
many wooden buildings as this the danger
can always be considered as imminent
and fearful. A good aud available sup
ply of water. such as this place could
have at the minimum cost, would give the
town its most cerlain show for prosperity
and renewed life Let the subject lie
freely agitated and take tangible form as
soon as possible.
