Quite number of our people ATTENDED

Quite a number of our people ATTENDED
court on Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rupert and child
arrived here last week from New York
City, Oh a visit to their parents. They
will remain several weeks.
Rain the latter part of last week and
the first of this, was greatly needed and
will do much good to all vegetation.1
The contract for extending the sewer
On Luray street, was awarded to the
Tidler Bros, by the town council, at 10
cents per foot. The sewer is to be lSxl4
inches in the clear, and to be built OF
rock. This will be great improvement
oyer the old rickety board walk, which
now covers the ditch, wher completed.
Capt. B. z. Price, who left last week to
consult an occulist in regard to the sight
of his eye, returned home very much en-
couraged, and thinks that it will be only
a matter of time until the sight will be
fully recovered.
The Presbytery which met Tuesday at
Broadway, Va, was attended by several
of our people, and among the number
was Rev. J. A. Snyder and wife, Mrs.
Griffen Read, and others. We learn that
the meeting of the PresbyterY will con-
tinue until Sunday night next.
Messrs. Peter Windle & Son, bought
several horses in your town court day,
aud will make trip to the East Virginia
markets in the near future.
An alarm of fire was turned in on
Wednesday evening May 2, caused by the
burning of old papers, books, &C., in one
of the rooms OF the Littell property now
owned by Mrs. Tom Clinedinst. The fire
fire promised at one time to burn the
house, bat the timely arrival of the bucket
brigade prevented what might have been
a great eoDfagration. as the house is in
close proximity to the NJ. E. church and
other property, sponta; eous combustion
is the supposed cause OF the fire, as the
room is unused and unoccupied. The
carelessness OF some OF our citizens in time
of fire is most remarkable. They SIT
along the street as unconcerned, as do 80
many crows perched on the limb of some
gigantic tree of the forest, whilst the
property of some unfortunate person is
being consumed by the fiery fiend.
The publication in the different county
papers by order of the board of Super
visors the act in regard to the muzzing
OF dogs, and the adoption of tie same by
SAID board, has had about as much effect
as if said board had ordered the man in
the moon to muzzle the dogs, at least so
far as it applies to this immediate portion
OF the county. The act ought certainly
t. be enforced, as not longer than last
Saturday evening whilst one Of our young
ladies was walking along the street one
of these worthless ours flew at her and
bit her, fortunately very slightly, had IT
been otherwise it would have been all the
same, and doubtless had you said any
thing to the owner of this worthless cul
he would have retorted by saying, his dos
had as much right on the street as dc
the young lady, as nine out of ten cui
owners are very sensitive.
When the HERALD man drives up this
way we want him TO take in a cyclon'
fence, Immediately along the Valley pik'
and close to our town, and if possible take
the fence in his buggy and carry it off to
some unciviized country. 1t IS the most
unsightly and ungodly looking fence tha
could bave been conceived by mortal man
1t is what might be termed, for want of a
better name, rick rack or gallopinl
cyclone fence. 1t seems that some mel
have no taste or care for Others. The
idea of building an eye.sore along thu
great public thoroughfare. such as The
one indicated above, ought 10 re lot
hidden by law.
The Lords Supper was administered
Sunday night, in the N. f. Church
South, to a great many communicates
Rev. Gardener and Porter officiating
Quarterly conference was held on Mon
day morning, at which more or less bust
ness was attended to pertaining to the
church. Rev. J. S. Porter, in addition t.
his duties at Mt. Jackson, will preacll
twice month to this congregation. Thi
is caused by Rev. Mr. Hammond being
unable to fill the appointment. 1t L
only temporary, but very satisfactory t.
this people. More anon.
