A Wandering Pedestrian.

An old colored pedestrian dressed in
old clothing and Of giant-like build, at
tracted much attention as he passed
through town walking in the middle Of
the streets Monday morning, The old
man gave his name as John Thomas and
his home in Woodstock, Va. He wore
clothing made of patches, carried blank
ct and food on his back and wore san
dies on his feet
The old man said he had walked across
the continent from the Atlantic to the
Pacific three times. He said he had been
in every section OF the country from, Cal
ifornia to Maine and from the Gulf to
Alaska. When asked about the condi-
ton of the country through which he
claimed to have travelled, he seemed to
be well acquainted with it and answered
all question inteligently. This queer
character Of the typical Old Virginia type
is now in his elghtieth year. He says he
has had desire to wander ever since he
was a youth and is never satisfied nnless
he is wandering over the country. He
often sleeps out in the open air at night
and frequently lives on herbs and food
which he gathers. on the road. In spite
of this he is in the pink of health. He is
now enroute TO Philadelphia. After re-
naming there a short time he says he is
going to return to the Shenandoah Valley
where he was born and where he wants
to die. He was born in Wincheoter and
raised in Stephen City, later living in
Woodstock.

On Dress Parade

The brave fire laddes of the Martins
burg Fire Department never looked neat
er or more handsome than they did in
their parade Monday evening. The other
people of the town selected Easter Sun
day for their dress parade, but the Fire
men selected yesterday as the date that
they would turn out and show how they
looked in their new Easter uniform.
Tine parade formed in front of the Fire
mems Hall at $50 o'clock. 1t started.
headed by Conveys Concert Band
Every section Of the city was included in
the line of march. The southern section
was first paraded, then the western, then
the northcn and finally the eastern. After
an hours steady march the parade ended
at the starting place at 5. 80 o'clock.
Chief Marshal Hollis was Unexpectedly
called to Washington and was unable to
be in the parade, Captain Caskey was in
command.
The Band, although not in new Las
ter dress, looked neat and prm, too and
they were not lost sight of by the citizens
in gazing at the new suits of the flremen
The band played some excellent marches
along the route.
The new suits Of the Fremen are a
great improvement over the old ones.
They consist of long blue coats, grey
trousers, blue caps and red belts. The
suits were purchased of Lily * Company,
of Columbus, Ohio. Every one of them
fits and the Firemen are more than pleased
with them.

An Old Feud.

An old family feud which has been ex-
isting for number Of years, resulted in a
rather one sided combat between an uncle
and nephew near Bunker Hill about eight
0 clock Saturday night.
!. Milton Lamon, the nephew, had been
at Bunker Hill and about eight o'clock
was returning out the road towards his
home, when, according to his statement,
he was attacked by bis uncle, G.. Milton
Lamon, who had emerged from a fence
corner. The nephew being much small
er than his uncle, who is of giant-lke stat
ne, was soon overpowered and knocked to
the ground by the fists Of his uncle. Mr..
Lamon says his uncle then picked up a
large stone and beat him over the head
and face, then got up and walked away
without saying word.
