Sang Run.


Rev. d. H. Friend went over to Trap
Run on last Wednesday evening and
returned Thursday AS Mr.. Friend
seemed loath to make known his
errand we predict as q result of his
short absence at least two souls were
made happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Frantz gave
dinner to quite a number of their
friends and relatiaes on last Wednes-
day.
We are sorry to note the serious i'll
ness of Mrs. A. W. Savage, and hope
for her speedy recovery.
Our faithful pastor, Brother E. r..
Skidmore, is conducting a series of
meetings at Hoyes, and we under
stand he has been successful in win
ming large number of souls for the
Master.
The shooting match at E. G. Cup
pett's on last Thursday was we'll at
tended.
The Sunday school scholars at this
place assembled in the church on last
Tuesday, and after spending an hour
in Rotations, speeches, singing, ETC.,
each was given nice treat.
Mr.. Tanglefoot, l am not only sur
prised but astounded to think per-
son possessing the knowledge and
refinement that you claim to possess,
should allow himself to digress so far
from the real subject of discussion,
viz: 1.-THE ability of the respective
classes and to indulge in rude per-
sonahties as you have. Now, I have
no doubt you have an avidity for
some of Mr.. Gladstone's brain and the
truth is l don't know anyone who
needs it any worse than you do. My
brain may be moss-covered, but
assure you yours is not, for there is
not substance enough in your Uranium
to sprout cinquefoil, much less moss.
l once heard the remark that a little
education and the brain of a fish
wormswould make a fool of anyone:
and your words and actions in the
past have fully convinced me that it
is true. l admit you gave me credit
for more brain than l have, for while
| think have some, | know | have
not car load
You have again referred to my exhi-
bition of gold and silver. Now if you
will present one reputable citizen to
substantiate your statement that
ever exhibited any gold or silver in
the neighborhood of Sang Run or
any other place, will make known
through the columns of this paper
that all have written is false.
don't wonder that you have 10 money
for we are told that a fool and his
money soon part. And if you will
show me a person who does more
boasting and Dragging than you, to
be of no more real value in the world
than you are, will present him with
the finest medal that I am able to
buy.
You say that in writing to friend
of yours mis-spelled the word "holi-
days." even if that be true it might
easily be overlooked in one whose
vocabulary is SO meager as mine, but
we think a professor ought, at least
to know how to spell such words as
colossuses, inconvenience, aura SacrG
flames, ETC., before he would even per-
NIT others to prefix that title to his
name. / think if he had continued
his former occupation-peddling pew
ter plated knives and forks, selling
dictionaries, etc, his financial condi-
ton would be far better. With all
his geographical knowledge he has
failed to properly locate both the
source and mouth of Singing Brook,
and not Drowsy Run, as he termed it.
1t does not rise in Sang Hill, and
instead of emptying into Sang Run
one mile above its confluence with
Yough river, it is more than one and
one-half miles. / might give de-
scription of the place where he was
reared, or rather grew up, but will
suffice by saying that the place of my
nativity will compare favorably with
that of his.
