TOWN AND VICINITY.


The Piedmont CIV. Va Ue,"|" says
1t seems that the Rev T. Marshall West,
who was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church of this place two years ago, has
trouble everywhere he goes. At any rate he
had considerable trouble here and in his
sermon abused the members of his church,
which the Hc,oid ut that time called attcn-
ton to.
At Winchester, Va. Sunday evening,
18th inst, it is reported that Mr.. West
charged that the Market street conErc-a-
ton had dcfraudcd him out of a portion of
his salary; thar the members. desiring to ret
rid of him, had purpoScly failed to co
operate with him, and he added that when
he took his departure this week he wanted
no member of the congregation to bid him
farewell or to express regret at his leaving.
He then arraigncd the official board of the
church in scathing manner and said his
chief regret over the whole matter was that
he had not put them ont of office long ago
His repeated use of the term ''dcfraud'
aroused the greatest Indignation. Mr. West
declared that through the congregation de
frauding him he had been compelled To Dor
row money to pay off his bills here and get
out of town.
Mr.. West is minister Of convictions
which he holds and cheriShrS with all
his might. 1t is pleasant to reflect
therefore, that he must have left his
Frostburg passionate several years ago
with no sense of wrong incurred at the
hands of his flock. A Golden Rule
minister is not likely to have trouble
with Golden Rule congregation.

An Entertaining Concert,

The concert given by the Cosgrove
Concert Co. under the auspices of Com
pany G Tuesday night was complete
SUCCESSION the part of the members of
the company who contributed to very
entertaining program, and also on the
part of the public who patronized the
entertainment with an appreciative
audience. The solo features of the pro-
gram were very good, especially so the
violin solos by Miss Hudson, who was
recalled several times. Miss Strayer,
the lyric soprano, possesses a rich voice
with a sweetness and clearness of tone.
but she was handicapped with an ac-
compartment that made her voice ap-
pear weak. The concert was followed
by dance, that was greatly enjoyed by
all who remained. The gross receipts
amounted to about $3.50, and the militia
boys will net small sum from the en-
tertainment, which was one of the
high-class order and costs considerable
to secure. This was the second ap-
pearance of the Cosgrove Concert Co.
IN Princeton, and on both occasions
they have been well received

Teachers for Next Year.

The Princeton school board at a re-
cent meeting took up the matter of
hiring teachers for the Princeton
schools for next year. There will be
three Or four of the old teachers who
will not return to Princeton next fall
to teach. Miss Paterson has resigned
as principal of the high school. Miss
Flossie Davis of the Brickton school
and Miss Batter of the Fifth grade will
probably not return to teach here, and
it is rumored that Cupid will have
something to do with the absence of
another teacher next fall. The re-
mainder of the corps of Princeton
teachers will be found in their accus-
toned places next September. The
board took up the question of salaries
OF some of the teachers but has not
settled this matter definitely as vet.
