earnestly hope no one will foil to pay up
what he owes or at least portion.
Mr.. Cornelius Palmer, of Indianapolis.
Indiana, is visiting his relatives and
friends in this place. Mr. Palmer was
resident of this place for many years
prior to the war, but for the last thirty
odd years has lived n the west, the most
of the time IN Newark, Ohio. This is
his first visit to his old home since he
left so many years ago and, while we
consider Woodstock rather slow town,
he says the improvements are surprising
to him and there are but few places that
look like Old times to him.
Messrs. Fravel & Feller, the enterpris-
ing Furniture Dealers of this place, have
Just finished sending out the furniture
which they sold iuriag the Fair. They
keep a full assortment on hand, at all
times, but the demand for their goods
made it necessary for them to order and
as they buy only from houses that manu-
facture the best goods, it required some
time to get all they wanted. They are
now prepared to furnish houses complete
and at prices that defy competition.
The editor of the Warren Seminal,
Front Royal, is kept busy thanking his
many friends, ladies aud gentlemen, for
generous presents of Irish and sweet
potatoes and other good things. 1t
makes US sad to say We have not had the
same chance and Shenandoah is a much
larger and far better agricultural county
than Warren. Besides we have a much
larger crowd OF hungry people to feed
and we also have full line of the latest
and most beautiful styles of thanks on
hand.
Our people have considerable curiosity
to see the election conducted under the
new law. The men who stood around
the polls, FROM early morn to dewy eve,
waiting to sell their votes to the highest
bidder will be absent. The busy chap,
who consolidated eight or ten votes of his
neighborhood and sold in advance TO
both parties, looks sad and gloomy and
curses the new election law. His Occupa-
ton is gone. He no longer estimates the
value of voters at so much per head, and
his enthusiastic interest in elections has
been wonderfully chilled. He can be
heard sadly muttering to himself whats
this world a coming to 7"
A lady has been sending our old bach
elor friend A. L. Henkel, Of the New
Market Valley chestnuts aad wild grapes
and the poor fellow was so elated that
be gave it away in his paper just to SOW
it broad cast to the world, never thinking
that chestnuts and sour grapes was just
the slyest kind of way to poke fun at an
old bachelor on whose back the moss of
procrastinatlon is probably ten inches
ong, man not beng able to wash be-
tween his shoulders and consequently
unless he has the domestic assistance of
fair and gentle hands around the house,
the soil of ages of single blessedness is
sure TO accumulate and the moss start
up. We always considered brother
Ambrose few pegs higher up than we
as an up-to-date, all aronnd newspaper
man, but this chestnut business has made
rs waver little. Catch US printing such
thing,l We would be glad to get the
chestnuts and grapes, especially if the
quantity was liberal, but we never would
have let our left hand know that our
right hand had them. Chestnuts and
sour grapes to an old bachelor. Phew ! !!
The bird season commenced Thursd ay,
Nov. 1st. We earnestly hope the farmers
will not allow the wholesale slaughter OF
these innocent birds on their lands, such
as has marked each season for some years
past. The partridge is one of our most
valuable insect birds, and is thus one OF
the farmers best trends. Every one killed
means a certain amount of destruction to
his crops from insects. Besides there
beauty and their cheerful, cherry whistle
as it rings clearly over the blooming clover
fields of spring is one OF the brightest
charms OF farm life. Protect poor little
"Bob White" at least from the unsports
manlike pOthunter who kills for the
market, and be will repay You man!
times over. While you are at work he
busy, putting in his best ticks to saw
from bugs and worms the result of you
hard labor. No one dare hunt on you
land without your permission. The Law
is plain aud you will have no trouble tc
bring the offenders to justice. Just lister
any day to the almost incessant rattle o
the guns around you, aud think how you
poor little faithful friends are having tt
life shot out of them in the very field
they have protected, and then see if 20
don't feel like doing your full duty to
ward stopping it.
