FLIcKERsvILLE, June ~ Our little
village is still in the shade not by rival
ry (paste that in your caps and bonnets
please y but On account of the scorching
rays OF a summers sun
People are still repairing the damaged
property and clearing away the debris
OF the hurricane (the most violent that
Is remembered by old citizens) which
visited this valley and vicinity on the
anniversary of the Johnstown food.
Giant oaks that had seen the suns of
many summers melt away the SHOWS of
many winters we're turned up hill and
laid PROSTATE Many fruit trees were
almost entirely destroyed. 1t came
from the south, an unusual direction
which tried the trees in way perhaps
they had never been before, and as one
suddenly and unexpectedly attacked by
a dangerous or powerful enemy resis-
lance was vain and they quickly sue
cumbed to the fury "method and mad
ness" were adroitly commingled.
The }. 0. U. A. NJ lodge OF Smith
town held short but appropriate Decora-
ton services at the Nc Elroy cemetery
in the presence OF large crowd. But
every few people attended Decoration
at Grafton on account OF the roads hav-
ing so many distinctions from the storm
on the previous day.
Many attended Children's day at
Harmony Grove, Sunday the 4th and
were well pleased with the performances
and the very large crowd. Misses Eff
fie Devault and Blanch Henry were in
what might have been a serious runa-
way, but the horse was stopped by Mr..
AL Brand just in the nick of time or we
might have had something very serious
to report. The damage was slight ex-
cept Mr.. Brand was scratched and
bruised considerably in stopping the
horse.
Bicycles will soon be as numerous as

weather !"

A woman's reputation is more easily
injured than mans and when once af-
fected by slanderous poison it is very
hard for her to ''outlive" it and her re-
putation is almost irreparable- For
this reason the law of West Virginia is
very severe on transgressors Of her most
sacred law and ward. Envious and
jealous old "Grannies," who have ugly
daughters Of their own whom they
would be pleased TO dispose of in the
matrimonial market, will II vice, take a
terrifying hint, right now, to cast no
dark reflections on the character Of a
