There never has been anything like 1t
in this county before. We mean John
Harman's Christmas stock. Everything
that can please the eye or tempt the taste,

The Holidays are almost here and as
turkeys are cheap and plentiful they will
doubtless smoke on almost every dinner
table They are not yet within the reach
of newspaper man, so as usual the
Local Editor will get bis turkey out of q
barrel of Potomac herring. And may our
wife and little ones be thankful to a kind
providence that made last seasons fish
cries a success.

day. He was busy from morning until
midnight selling Xmas goods. What

train.
All X. of P, Lodges as we'll as individ
ual members of the order should watch
for this scOundrel: Several Pythian
lodges in Virginia have been victimized
by an imposter who uses bogus orders for
sick benefits and i1iuc es Py.hians and
Others to cash them. These orders are,
apparently issued by Warmasite Lodge
No. p, OF Lowell Mass, and were stolen
in blank aud filled IN. The name used by
tde impOster is 8. c. Ruas, although he
has used J. B. Read, J. B. Howard and
E. w. Hill with equal facility and sue
cess. All Pythians are advised to Keep
a sharp lookout for hint"

through the Valley as a fruit tree sales
man, met with a serious and painful &C.
cident Dec. 9th, while saving three young

Tbs following item, clipped from the
Augusta County argus, will cause many
a heart among the Woodstock
beaux, as well as one a short distance from
Mt jackson, to be sad and heavy during
the entire holidays.
"Bruce Randolph, son Of Mrs. Mary
Randolph and grandson of VIM. +. Smith,
Esq. OF Greenville, and Miss Margaret, a
pretty daughter of Capt. c. G. Merritt, of
near that town, drove to Stanton, on
Sunday night and took the 2;10 c. & o.
train yesterday morning for Washington
to be married. The young man is aged
10 and the lady about the same. We
hear that he has secured position in a
store in Alexandria"
Some of the young men and boys of
this place, are terribly given to the use of
profane language on the streets. One
night, few weeks ago, two young men
stopped in front of house on Main street,
and during their conversation they in
dulged N profanity to such a disgusting
extent that several ladies who were IN
ore of the front rooms of the building were
compelled to go to srOtber part of the
house. Such conduct should not be
tolerated. When young men and half
grown boys have no respect for them
selves or others, especially ladies, they
sbonld be punished to the extreme length
of the law. 1t IS the only way to reach
such creatures.
Persons wanting to place their orders
with me for a splendid quality Of oysters
for the holidays will please notify me at
once. John H. Hartman.
If you want to know how to make a
handsome aud convenisnt new house out
of an old one you have only to go and see
John harman's residence, on Main street
opposite the Bank. The house formerly
squatted down in the dirt, had little old
fashioned windows, and was damp, lark
and unhealthy. Tie has raised the foun-
dstion several feet, pat in large mo1ern
windows, torn out the whole inside ar
engagements, bad 1t rsplastered, re-paper-
ed, repSlnted, handsome stairway rur,
aud in fact has made very pretty and
comfortable home out Of the former rather
unsightly building. The porch, which
extends along the whole front, is one of
the handsomest and most attractive in
the town, and was the skillful work of
Mr. Joseph FraYel aud his employees. The
