EDINBURG ITEMS.


Misses Minnie and Laura Crabll, o.

IN this place.
Miss Jennie Wade, of Vaudeville, II
visiting Mr.. Joseph Vincent, mother and
sisters.
Mr.. Ottie Ran, clerk in Mr.. T. l.. Rich

on visit to his fathers family.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Calohan were quite
SICK last week During their illness Mr.
j. E. Beazley was in charge of the post
office.
Quite a number of ladies AID gentlemen
from this place attended the pleasant
social hop at Mr.. NJ. NJ. Campbell's on last
Friday night
Sunday will be children's day at the
Methodist church, in this place. The ex-
ercises will be very interesting, and will
doubtless be witnessed by large mum.

DENTAL NOTICE.-Dr. T. F. Locke will
be in Edinburg on Thursday, July 18th,
and remain one day. All persons in need
of dental work are invited to call.
Rooms at Murray's Hotel.
We hope every taxpayer in the town
will sign thu petition asking the council
to lay pavement on Water street. This
improvement IS greatly needed, and as
pretty much all the other streets have
been paved we think it no more than fair
that the taxpayers of this section should
have the same benefit.
Misses Nclie and Carrie Windle, re-
siding on the Valley pike about a mile
and a half south of this place, gave
moonlight picnic to a number of their
young friends from town and the vicinity.
on Tuesday night, OF last week About
thirty persons were present, and eIjoled
a most delightful evening.
A branch of the W. c. T. L.. composed
of fifty Children, has been recently OF
gained in this place. The object of the
Organization is not only to prohibit the
members from using liquors of all kinds
but also to refrain from chewing OF smok-
ing tobacco and swearing. A few days
after the society was formed a Young boy
member forgot his obligation and used a
prOfane expression. Another yOung
member standing by at once exclaimed,
"Oh III tell Miss Bette on You" The
little offender at once said, 90, d II,
can't stor all at once"
At the recent corporation election here
Mr., p. J. Allison was elected Mayor to
succeed Mr.. Geo. Calohan, who was not
a candidate. All the old council were re-
elected except Justice G. w. Wndle. Mr..
c. Z. Headley being elected to succeed
him. 1t now appears that owing 10
Misunderstanding of the law the Mayor
elect failed to qualify before the County
Judge 10 the time required by law, cOnse
quently the old Mayor and council must
hold over for the ensuing term, unless, at
the next meeting, on Friday night, Mayor
Calohan and councilman Windle should
tender their designations. The council
could then elect Mayor elect Allison aud
councilman elect Headley. This is the
Only way the oversight above mentioned
can lie rectified.
We had hoped that some one interested
in the matter would send MS an account
of the public installation of the officers of
the Red Mems Lodge held in the Reform
ed church on Monday night, but up TO
going to press We have rot received any
account of what must have been very
interesting affair.-EDITOR

County Line Controversy Settled.

The controversy that has existed for
the past two years OF more between tie
counties of Rockingham and Augusta IN
regard to the location OF the comfy line
near s. endun has been determined, and
Rockingham gains the whole of her con-
tentlon. The joint commission appointed
mere than year ago by the courts Of
the two counties failed to agree, and the
matter has since been in the hands of
Jasper Hawse and J. r. McCutcheOn,
county surveyors of Rockingham and
Augusta, respectively. The matter was
finally submitted for arbitration to Prof.
VIM. 81. Thornton. professor of Civil
Engineering and Applied Mathematics
at the University of Virginia Prot.
Thornton's decision has JEst been received
and his award is favorable TO Rocking
ham. This decision, as we understand
it. il final and binding On both parties.
The hotel at SheDdnn, which has been
claimed by both county surveyors, is TINS
located in Rockingham Rockingham

We had the pleasure of inspecting, a
few days ago, a set of pulpit furniture
for the Lutheran church in Strasburg.
This church has recently been remodeled
aud to a large extent rebuilt, and is now
one of the haudsomest houses of worship
in the Valley. The furniture consists of
pulpit, lecture or reading desk, baptismal
font and stand and four pulpit chairs.
The material is all of the finest quality
of white oak, polished and vanished
until the surface rivals the finest
French mirror plate. The baptismal
font is octagon shaped and contains one
hundred and twenty FIVE different pieces
of wood. This work was all done by
Mr. Saml. Rudy, one of the experienced
workman employed 10 Mr.. Jos. travels
furniture and woodworking manufac-
fury, of this place, who also made the
drawings for each piece. No woodwork
ing establishment in the whole country
can surpass this work, and is a striking
proof of what our home workmon can do
if their own people VIII but give them
half chance.

Tie new park that VIII soon he opened
on the South edge of town, will be, when
60 mpletely fitted up, one of the prettiest
places for pic-nics, reunions and gather
ipgs of all kinds generally in the Valley.
The grounds are spacious, and nicely
covered with grass, the slOpiug hillsides
are so located that a delightful breeze can
always be found under the cool shade of
the trees that so thickly dot them. But
the crowning glory of all is to be found IN
The water. At the foot of a beautifully
shaded hill four or FIVE large springs gush
from the large rocks into the stone lined
pools with a ripple that is the sweetest
music to the ears of a thirsty person.
There streams are of the clearest, purest,
sparkling limestone water, and the flow
Is so abundant that they form a beautiful
little brook, on each side of which will be
large crcQuet grounds level as billiard
table. Comfortable seats Will be placed
under the trees, and swings and other
amusements provided for the young
folks. 4 large building for dancing and
other purposes is to be erected at once IN
pretty vale over which the thick shade
OF a number of trees will throw cooling
Shade all day LONG. A Lever failing
spring in a secluded part of the grounds
will furnish an abundance of soft slate
water for the large bath house that Will
be put mp at once.
It's the intention of Mr.. W. L. Laugh
lin and his associates In the enterprise
to push everything as fast as possible, and
in a very short time Woodstock Will have
one of the most pleasant resorts IN the
Valley.

The Real True Way to Catch Bull
frogs.

From the Walker County(Ga messenger
When we were at Chattanooga we
learned how to catch bullfrogs where
they inhabit ponds; just take a light
and wade in around the edge after dark
and they will sit on the edge and look al
the light until some one on the bank can
catch them. Mr.. Saunders, near Ringgold
was the man to try it, and he caught
thirty-slx the first night, for which hi
got 81 per dozen.
