SOms days ago a fImily row occurred
at the residence Of G. w. Grantham, near
Summit point, in Clarke county, dnrlug
which Mr. Andrew G. Ford was shot three
times and, it is feared, mortaly wounded
by lis father-in-!aw, ". Z. Somer, who

We regret the necessity OF postponing
several very acceptable communications,
especially those from New Market,
and Lantz's Mil both Of which were Ie-
ceived a short time before going to press.
BY the changes which we propose to make,
we will have room for all hereafter.
A happy crowd of young boys, consist
ing of f. c. Geary, D. D. Davis, H. c.
Allen, Walt ROdeffer, W, F. Miley, NJ. B.
Stephenson, Willie Mley, and H. Moore,
with John jackson; cOlored as cooks left
here On Tuesday for Seven Fountains
where they have pitched their tents for
ten DAYS outing. On Wednesday, the fol-
lowing young ladies, chaparOned by Mrs.
G. ". Brown went to JOIN them Misses
Lou and Sue Baker, Della Laughlin,
Edna Riddleberger, Sue and Lncy Ma
gruder, and Miss AIDA Brown. That this
crowd of young people will have a gay
aud happy time goes without saying.
1t will be remembered that we have
repeatedly stated that John Judy was
competent aud ef1icen5 post master, and
that last week we made the statement
that the good people of MOOrefeld would
agree with rs in this matter. In another
column VIII be found a certificate of
thanks with the name of nearly every
/ prominent democrat in that vicinity
attached to it. This was gotten up with
out Mr.. Judg's knowledge, and is
merely an act OF justice on the part Of
the people that he bas served long and
faithfully. We congratulate Mr.. Judy on
this complete exculpation from Il 9
slanderous charges which have been
preferred against him.-SOWh Branch

The first nine of the Woodstock Club
played the first nine Of the New Market
club on tie Fail Grounds at this place,
on Friday, of last week, and defeated
them by a score of % to IL. The playing
was poor. the Woodstock not being mp TO
their usual standard by a long shot.
The New Market boys. according to in
formation given us, wonld not play if
Woodstock put IN their regular battery,
Shaffer, pitcher, and Dan. Bushone,
catcher. This Woodstock conceded in
order to have a gamo and the New Market
nine then played an imported pitcher,
Williams, of Hsrrisonburg.
About five hundred people we're on the
ground to witness the game. The Mt.
Airy and TOMS Brook brass bands were
present and furnished most enjoyable
music. Among the other attractions or
the grounds we're a steam merry -gO-rOund
and ridiculous side show gotten up by
lot Of fun loving young lads of town
The rain of the morning caused the big
Dic-nic and reunion of the Lutheran Sun
day schools of the Valley to be given up
From information from different sections
of the Valley we learn that clear day
would have insured tremendous gather
p ing.
