A great annoyance TO our church goers
and the preacher has been the conduct of
alot of persons in the rear of the building,
who constantly whisper, gggle and
laugh during the services. We hope,
after the gentle reproOf given by Mr..
Coe on Sunday night, we will have no
more of this bad conduct, but ii it does
occur again it will meet the approval Of
all right thinking persons if tie minister
will openly reDrOve them by name from
the pulpit. There is nothing that looks
as bad as dsrespect of this kind TO relig-
ion and the sacred surroundings of the
house of worship.
We are now busy opening mn our large
and we'll selected stock of Xmas goods
and invite our friends to call and see
what beautiful and useful articles may
be bought for small money.

During the series of meetings held by
Rev. S. A. Uitner, of the Reformed church,
at Union Forge, number of young men
and boys from this place and vicinity
have been in attendance. On Friday
night. of last week, while returning from
service, at point about half way between
the Forge and this place, two young men,
will McInturff and a young Sibert,
became involved in a difficulty but were
soon separated by companions. McInturff
went to his home where he secured the
aid of his father and brother, one Of them
being armed with gun, and started ont
to intercept Sibert on his way home, at a
point Just north of town. Fortunately
several friends were with Sbert, and
they disarmed the McInturifs and pre-
vented them from injuung hin.
On Saturday night as Sibert and several
others were again returning from the
Union Forge services they we're mt by
Will McInturff and several of his
friends who were evidently lying in wait
for Sibert, and as he passed McInturff
called TO him to stop and fight ont the
Qlt1cultN. Accepting the tudIeuHt Tue
two clinched, and in the scuffle Mcluturfi
discovered and took from Sibert's pocket
slung shot which the Latter had made
out of a lead plumb bob weighing %
ounces. At this time Len. Copenhavcr. a
youns man aged about Is years, inter
fered to separate them and stop the
fight, when McIntuIif struck him savage
blow on the back of the head with the
slnng shot knocking him senseless to the
ground. Finding that he was badly
hurt his companions carried him into Nr.
Wm. Bradford's residence near by, and
DR.. Fred. Hisey sent for. A warrnt was
issued for McInturff7s arrest, and be was
brought before Justice G. w. Windle the
same night, who, after hearing the evil
dence, sent him on for the action o! the
grand jury. Sheriff Wightman at once
started for Woodstock with tie prisoner,
landing him in Jail there about 2 o'clock
on Sunday morning. McInturff's reputa-
ton is any thing but a good one, and only
few weeks ago he was accused of seal
| ing lot of turkeys and selling them to a
merchant in this place. Yonng Copen-
haver is an industrious, inoffensiye and
sober young man. On Sunday morning
about IL o'clock, he was taken to his
home on the mountain, a short distance
