Y. M. c. a. NOTES.

Mr. r. L. Mustoe has been appointed
to fill the vacancy on the Committee of
Management caused by the resignation
of Mr.. O. G. Morris.
The Membership of the Y M. G. A. is
steadily increasing, and already Sc of
our young men have become members
and taken advantage of the privileges
offered.
Quite number of Electric lights have
been added since the opening night and
the building is much better lighted than
it was on that occasion. The rooms look
very attractive and cheerful, brilliantly
lighted as they are, and should induce
young men to join. One man said: ut
is worth $500 year to have such a nice
loafing place.
One of the most popular places in town
is the Y. NJ. G. A. Bowling Alley and
many of the young men are getting to
be expert ''twisters" This is healthy
pastime, for man gets not only pleas
ure but exercise as WELL There have
been improvements, made in the Alley on
the original plan, which makes it much
easier and better for the bowler.
The men of Clifton Forge should assist
in this work by becoming members and
using their influence to get others to
join. This institution has accomplished
great deal of good in other places, and
there is no reason why it should not do
on the part of the men, but each one
should take hold in earnest. With such
a fine building as we have, if all would
help, we could have one of the best As
sociations in the State.

Sorelv Afflicted.

Our esteemed friend, E. w. Grice, Esq,
who holds the responsible position of
Chief Train Dispatcher for the G. & O.
at this point, has been suffering very
much from a complication of ailments.
On Friday last Drs. Hughes and Miller
skillfully removed a tumor from his face,
and he is also experiencing great pain
from bruise on one of his limbs, and is
now confined to his room, patiently bear
ing his Affections. Mr.. Grice had made
all arrangements for a visit to the
Worlds Fair, but the precarious state of
his health forbade his undertaking the
journey. We hope tibet he may soon be
restored to perfect health and enjoy to
the fullest extent the comfortable resi-
dence he has recently COMPLETED.

Good Fortune.

Dur ing our pilgrimage on the Worlds
Fair Grounds last week, we took special
pains to note down many exhibits that
came under our notice. Friday, while
seated On q bench near the Administra-
tion building, reading one of Chicago
great newspapers, we thoughtlessly
placed our notebook on the bench, and
when we arose, forgot to pick it up. In
a very few minutes we discovered the
loss and retraced our steps. but the book
was not where we had left it. 1t was
useless to make inquiry, for a vast crowd
Of people were constantly passing, SO we
concluded to grin and bear it. We ar
rived home ON Wednesday, and when we
opened letter in Saturdays mail, mag
inc our surprise at finding enclosed the
Notes we had lost at the Fair. The
letter was postmarked 'South Chicago
Station but contained nothing by
which the sender could be identified.
However, we extend our thanks to the
kind unknown.

The Clifton Mills.

Capt Lewis Hartman, after many an
noyances and vexatious delays, has ac-
complislied what he undertook, namely:
the erection of a complete and thorough

placed within it's brick walls the latest
improved machinery for crushing corn
and boiling meal, and announces in this

Hartman has incurred a heavy expense
to supply an establishment badly needed
in this community and is deserving of a

has recently associated with him in the

A Suit Against the Worlds Fair by
a BOtetourt Man.

On the 10th of last August, when Mr..
A. G. Beckner, formerly of this county,
but now of Roanoke City. was attend
ing the Worlds Fair, he fell through a
trap door in the Manufactures and Lib
eral Aarts Building, painfully and Sc.
riously injuring himself. The trap door
was raised Immediately in front of him
and In the crowded condition of the
building Mr.. Beckner was unable to
see the door when it was raised. He
was Immediately taken to his hotel on
Michigan avenue, and a physician was
summoned who thought his injuries
would be permanent, and advised him
to leave for home as soon as his condi-
ton would allow, which he did in six
days after the accident occurred. He
was accompanied by his wife, and both,
Mr. Beckner says, were deprived by his
misfortune of seeing the Worlds Fair.
The sequel is as follows:-Mr. Beck>
ner's attorneys are now preparing the
papers to bring suit for $4,000 damages
and to serve notice for taking deposi-
tions. AS the profits accrue to the stock
holders, it is the opinion of Mr.. Beckner
and his attorneys that the damages
claimed will be recovered. FSncastle

A Bold and Audac:ous Robbery.

Last Thursday morning about ten
o'clock the residence of Mr. W. B. Grove,
the popular druggist who resides on
West Main street, was entered by ne
gro man who stealthily walked us stairs
while Mrs Grove and Miss Grace Kauf-
felt, of Glen Wilton, were seated in the
dining room. Mrs. Grove heard the
{ footsteps of the retreating thief and hur
red to the rear of the house, where she
| intercepted the intruder, but he quickly
pushed her aside and continued his
flight. Just at that moment Mr.. Ben
Thomas, who resides in the adjoining
house, heard the connection and came
out and confronted the negro and de-
manded that he surrender. This he re-
fused to do, and Mr.. 7. permitted him
to escape.
On investigation it was found that he
had carried off purse containing nearly
seven dollars, belonging to Miss. Kauffelt,
and very likely other articles which have
not been missed The bold manner in
which this robbery was perpetrated-
in broad daylight-shows that these
scoundiels have no fear of being pun
ished.
Now, the question naturally suggests
itself, where was Sergeant Gleason when
this robbery occurred? Was he down
on Jackson street, spinning a yarn, or
was he taking in the big show" located
in an opposite direction from Mr.. Groves
residence We think the Council ought
to make inquiry into this matter, and
ascertain if the Sergeant was in the dis
charge of his official duties at the time
mentioned 1t looks as though we are
without police protection altogether.
Akin to the Fortified (Sand) w oman.
Last week tent was pitched on the
C. & o. lot fronting on East Main street,
and a.frightful banner displayed, bear
ing the inscription, "a Demon Child.''
There was also that indispensable at
traction, the 'hand-organ.n AS the peo-
pie passed by they stared with amaze
ment, and number ventured in, to see
this terrible freak Of nature. 1t was
found in glass case and looked more
like the skin of a red fox than anything
human. Near by was a collection of
monkeys. reptiles, parrots and o'possums
which afforded a pleasant diversion from
gazing at the demon" Somehow
there was not mad rush on the part of
our citizens to see these curiosities, and
the proprietor struck his tent and de-
parted for a more appreciative commu>
nifty. If such exhibitions were refused
license, it would meet the approval of a
discriminating public.

Board of Pharmacy which met at Lynch

by this Board, before a druggist is per-
mitted to compound medicines. We con-
gratulate Druggist, Carraway on having
obtained his credentials from the high
est authority in the State. There is no
profession requiring more expert knowl-
edge than that of a thoroughly posted

Look Out for this Coin.

A counterfeit silver dollar is in circu-
lation. LISA little thicker and lighter
than genuine dollar, and the numbers
1885 are a little blurred; otherwise it is
said to be a perfect imitation. In the
past few days several of these dollars
have been offered and refused at the
counter of a Baltimore corporation
which receives a great deal of money.
Persons say this dollar is the most de-
ceptive counterfeit they have ever seen.
