There is a bitter feeling being manifested
against the Mormon elders operating in
the adjoining states of Virginia and West
Virginia and especially the counties border
ing this part of Maryland. In the vicin-
ity of Winchester several of their number
met with a stern rebuke at the hands OF
citizens living along Back creek. several Of
whom turned out with shotguns and in
formed the propounders Of Mormonism to
vacate the community at once. The Lat
ted Day Saints obeyed and have moved on
farther up the valley. They have met with
a cold reception at every stopping place
and have not succeeded in making any con-
verts. Residents of Berkeley county. across
the Potomac from Williamsoort. notified
several Mormon elders in that section to
leave and they lost no time In obeying.
