The COMFORT given by the Stone vail
Band, 10 Twins Opera House, on Thurs
day night of last week, brought together
large and very apprecative audience.
The music was ola high order and was
greatly enjoyed. The band, by their
unitOrm courtesy and accommodating
spirit during their stay 10 our town won
the good will OF all our people and they
viii always receive hearty welcome IN
Woodstock. 1t is questionably one of
the fne musical organizations of the
country.
Mr.. VIM II. Miller. popular citizen Of
New Market, met with an accident on
Monday, OF last week which resulted in
his death a few hours later. He was
hauling hay from a baler near town
when Que Of the bales fell of causing the
horse to run when two more bales slipped
off carrying Mr.. Miller with them the
wheels of the heavily loaded wagon
passing over his body causing internal
lnlurles from which he soon died.
Mr.. Miller was gallant Confederate
soldier serving through the war as a
member Of Rlce's Battery.
In speaking of the Fair our venerable
friend Ambrose Henkel. of the New
Market Valley says:
"rhe famous St0newall Band was
present, which fully divided Interest
with the races. John OFT, of the Herald
says he never saw SO many pretty girls,
we unan imously concur-and he knows
as be has been on the stage of observa-
tlon-well, long before We can remem-

Long as we have known you ii is the

remember anything until you we're over
twenty years old.

the best singers of Winchester. Mr.. Van

of Virginia, and his reputation is spread

The long continued and intense cold
of last winter with the ground deeI ly
snOw covered for weeks caused the death
of almost every partridge through this
section and in fact throughout Virgini q,
West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsy lysnla
and many other states. From early
Spring until the present time the oheery
whistle of bob White" has been sadly
rtre. No true sportsman would think
for one moment of shooting one of these
birds this season. As for the contempta-
bic pot hunter, and there are some who
would kill the last partridge, we hope
our farmers will see to them and have
them arrested the moment they find one
on their laHl. Every real sportsman
will uphold them in so doing.

Their Digestive Cordial is said 70 be the
most successful remedy for stomach
iron bles eyer introduced. 1t Immediately
relieves all pain aud distress after eating,
boilds up the feeble system and makes
tn weak strong.
The fact is foods properly dlEested are
better than so-csllsd tonics. The Cor
dial not only contains food Already diges.
Ted, but is digester of other foods. Food
that 10 not digested does more harm than
good. People who use the Cordial in
sure the digestion Of what food they eat
and in this way get the bsnedt of 1t and
grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers
have sent drU ggsts for free distribution,
contain much interesting information on
the subject of dyspepsia.

If you want to form an idea OF the
number of iecklessly and cruelty careless
people ia this town you have only to
rotice the number of banana and other
fruit skins and peellngs uDOn the pave
ments. The person who will drop these
dangerous things upon the sidewalk in
stead of into tina gutter is too cruelty
selfish to care the snap OF bis or her fing
