We are informed that twenty zone cars
filed with negroes have passed this place
during the last week or two, bound for
Pennsylvania, where they arc taking the
place of white labor in tho mines and
other public works, Some of the Wes-
tern railroads are also trying to replace
their striking trainmen with negroes.
This, we think. will pile up the bad feel
ing in tons. We fear that the railroad
m ansgers have not acted wisely in this
matter. neither for themselves or the
negroes.

A kind hearted Front Royal fisherman
recently presented the Editor of the
Seminal fine string of bass. AS fish is
considered a great brain food we don't
know whether that fisherman was re-
flecting on the Sentinels brainery or not.
BIZ the way, we wish to inform our rea-
dcrs, what has properly been plain to
them tor sometime, that the local editor
of the HERALD has about used up the
grey matter or thinking part of his brain,
and unless they soon take some such
action in his behalf as the Front Royal
man did for the Sentinel, they may soon

What might haye been a very serious
runaway accident occurred on north Main
street Sunday evening. Joseph Painter
and Arthur Hoover were driving out of
town in a buggy when the horse became
frightened and started to run and kick
vIciously. Both jumped from the buggy,
young Hoover receiving a kick in the
face that cut cash above and below the
eye and left plain impression of the shoe
around the eye. The horse then dashed of
the road to the pavement, where Miss
Mary Myers, an old and intirm lady, was
passing, and who was caught between
the buggy and the fence, thrown down
and run over by one wheel. Strange to
say she escaped with few bruises, being
able to walk out the next day. Nr. Chas.

A sadly destructive rain, hail and wind
storm passed over the Broadway section
OF Rockingham County, on Frid ay after
noon, of last week. Nothing to compare
with it in it's wide spread and terrible
desolation over occurred in that region
before. The growing crops and all garden
vegetation in the track of the storm were
completely wiped out, in many cases 80
thoroughly beaten into the ground that
not yestage remained. Roofs were torn
off and windows beaten in, while the
destruction OF window glass went up into
the thousands, the buildings of the large
pottery establishment alone loosiDg hun
dreds from their windows. The hail
stones were unusually large, and were piled
up in such huge drifts that several ice
houses were filled from them. All tie
small streams rose rapidly, sweeping
away fencing and other property.
A match game of base ball was played
at this place, on Saturday afternoon
between the young club OF Strasburg and
the "kids" of Woodstock. Although the
game resulted in a victory for the Wood
stock club by score Of 80 to IL, the
Strasburg put up good game, some of
them being players that any town might
be proud of and should be encouraged.
While the Strasburg club was well re-
ceived and kindly treated by the Wood
stood players and the spectators general
ly We regret to say that few persons
who should know better utterly Disguised
and mortified the Woodstock club and
the large majority of the spectators by
continually making unkind and dis
agreeable remarks to the visiting players.
We hope the Woodstock club will take
steps to prevent this disgraceful conduct
in the future, and in their efforts to do
so, will receive the prompt and efficient
support of every spectator who has the
good name of the town at heart. Let the
Stras6urg club come again. but we ad-
wise them to get another manager. He
doubtless is frst-rate fellow, and can in
all probability raise corn or run thrash
ing machine, but what he don't know
about managing a game Of base ball "is
plenty"
