o. Bowman, who resides on the river real
this place, has been awarded first clas
scholarship at the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore, Md. This prizs wa
won by sheer merit, through competaiv,
examination. We feel proud of the sue.
cess of this young Shenandoah man, and
from what we know of him we dom
think the honor could have been more
worthily bestowed.
We often see a team standing on The
streets here unattended for hours anC
without being hitched or restrained in
any way. Some days there will be a run
away which may result IN a serious dam
age and probably loss of life. If this
should happen the town will be liable
for damages. We have an ordina nee
fOrbidding this thing, but as it IS never
enforced the town Will be held for dam
ages on account of this neglect. We
have a police force.

The sad news of the death Of Mr..
Luther Bowman reached this place one
day 10 the latter part of last week. We
have heard nothing beyond the fact that
he died in Denver, Colorado. He was
son of the late Alexander and Barbara
Bowman, natives Of and for many years
residents of this place, where Luther
Bowman was born. HIS parents moved
to Harrisonburg when he was quite a
young boy, and it was there he resided
until few years ago. A brother and
several sisters survive him.
The Mt. Jackson correspondent of the
Shenandoah YaUey, under date June 18th
says: This morning Mr.. Frank Burkett OF
our town put some lime toto an old pot
to slack by putting some water on 1t
After it was partly Stacked, he WAS fear
full that the pot would burst, hence be
concluded to empty it out. While trying
to empty it, the lime began coming ~
into his face and also his oldest son 3 face
who was with him, filling both of Mr..
B. 3 eyes and one eye OF the son. DR.. j..
w. KoOntz was at once called, and gave
bis eyes all the attention necessary. Mr.
B. aud son are now both in dark room,
and suffering great pain from their eyes.
Our correspondents should exercise care
not to wound the feelings of persons, by
items sent us as news. These items some
times cost us a subscriber. A reference
10 a newspaper to conduct of which the
party is himself ashamed always results
in the notice, "please stop my paper
We always comply with the request and
then get another subscriber to take his
place and print the same number of cop
les. The parties sometimes get mad at
themselves for their haste, but never let
us know it, if they can keep it from us.
We don't want to wound the feelings OF
anyone, but sometimes a simple and APP
parently harmless item has the sting OF
an adder for some one concealed in its
beautiful pbraseolOgy, aud the wound i
male before the Editor is aware of it.
Please be careful.
Clean up about your premises, being
careful to remove all filth and rubbish and
disiufect every suspicious spot. Keep mp
the cleaning process until everything is
pure and sweet about your house and
yard. Don't neglect single square inch
anywhere about your place. Aud then
let our town officials see that all the
streets and alleys are as clean as they
can be made. paying special attention to
the sewers, drains and cutters. Wood
stock will now compare most favOrably
in point of cleanliness with any town in
the Valley, but we should not rest content
with this. Wipe out, or rather clean NJ
every foul and disease breeding spot aDC
We can then feel secure, aud need have
no dread of an epidemic of any descrlp
ton. Right here is where an ounce o
prevention is worth many pounds of cure
