THE GOODMAN TRIAL.
Some OF our people here seem to think
that inasmuch as Captain Thomas Good
man. who killed Colonel II. G. Parsons
AT Clifton Forge. has been granted a
new trial by Hon. William Mclaughlin,
OF the Thirteenth judicial circuit. that
the new trial will take place here. and
already some speculation as to the result
Of the new trial is being INDUCED In, and
i'm the event the trial is held here the
courthouse will not hold half Of the
spectators who would like TO hear the
evidence and trial.
I'm connection with the proposed contest
by Hon. Jacob Yost, Republican Candi-
date for Congress for the seat Of Hon.
Harry Tucker in this (the Tenth district,
a prominent gentleman was heard to re-
mark the other day that there was no
shadow of a hope for Yost in the contest.
Tor tho reason that Yost had antagonized
Mahone AZ all points and has written
oeVeral bitter letters against Malone,
ana II all the other Virginia contestants
should Dust the Democratic congressman,
that Yost will not get in as Malone
VIII use his influence, and money, If
necessary, TO defeat Yost.
AN OLD CHURCH.
Falling Springs Presbyterian church in
this county Is believed to be the oldest
church in Virginia. There is no record OF
the date IL was organized. but il is be-
ltcved that ii came into existence as far
back as 1873. To-day II has a large and
wealthy congregation. and has at all
times prospered.
