Y. p. c. U. Of U. B. Church.

The Y. P. C. L, of the u. B. Church, of
the Virginia Conferences, which convened
at Toms Brook, Va, Aug. 7th, 1894, was
called to order by the president, Rev. c,
Fl. Crowell, of Harrisonburg, Va, at 8
p. m.
The convention continued IN session
three days. Even from the session there
was a deep interest manifested which
continued to grow through the entire
session. There were 95 delegates present
in all. This was considered a very good
attendance as it was the first convention
of the union of Va. conference.
The music was conducted by Prof. j.
H. Ruebush, of Kee Mar college, and of
course it was good. The convention has
not as yet decided where to hold the next
session, as it is their purpose to assemble
annually, but they can search the
beautiful Shenandoah Valley over and
over yet they cannot find place where
the people are more kind and hospitable
than they are at Toms Brook. The &C.
caslon was certainly pleasant as well
as a beneficial one and it is hoped that
the representatives of each local union
have returned home with new zeal to do
more for the cause of young people OF
their respective communities.

Complaints are being made almost dali
ly of the depredations committed through
the country for several miles around town
by gang of four boys of this place.
They have been stealing poultry, eggs
and IN more than one case young shoals
and lambs. They are we'll known, and
we are glad to know are being 50 closely
watched that 1t will not be long before
they will fad themselves in the grasp
of the law. Four more hardened young
Williams could hardly be found anywhere,
and as they are on the plain road to the
penetentiary it will be relief to every
honest person in this section when the
doors of that institution close behind
them for a long term.
