Powhatan, I'd District.-I is fact that
the church which was moved across the falls
on ice has at last reached its destination, but
not q fact that it reached there in good condi-
ton, as reported. The trustees have held in
dignation meetings protesting against receiv-
ing it in its present shape. but finally consen-
ted, after securing the promise Of the company
to put in safe and more slightly condition,
This has been most unusual winter, with
much sickness in this vicinity. Our Young
physician is kept going day and night. Mr..
Miller. father of Mrs Joseph Pierpoint, is sick
with grip. Mr.. VIM. Shervette has double
pneumonia and it is feared he will not recover.
The winter festival held at Riddles Hail. for
the benefit of Emmart's Church, on Tuesday
and Wednesday nights Of last week, was a
success. An entertainment of music and reci-
tations. furnished by home talent assisted by
friends from the city, proved most pleasing
and the refreshments of cake and cream, served
afferward, were duly appreciated, judging by
the manner in which they disappeared.
The Misses Wamsley, of Baltimore. sisters
of MIR. VIM. N. Wamsley, OF Hebbville, gave
a very enjoyable luncheon at the Country Club
last week. There have been very few enter.
tainments of any kind during the winter and
the season has been one long Lent. num-
Der of birthday anniversaries, however, bave
been celebrated more as family reunions than
general receptions.
An enjoyable party was given at the home
of Mr.. Christian E. Sauter, near this place, on
Tuesday evening, March 9Th. The company
was entertained with vocal and instrumental
music by Misses Clara Riddle and Mamie Rei-
blich and Messrs Wilbur Green and Leland
East. Refreshments were served at late hour

Sauter, Misses Annie, Fannie and Mae Sauter,
Bertha Stirn. Katie Hidey, Augusta Grabb. Ida
and Sadie Reiblich, Celia and Elsie Kalb, Katie
and Annie Feaser, Blanche Sauter and Messrs.
Ellsworth. Benton, Irwin and Vernon Sauter,
Walton East, Harry Winsor. Henry Reiblich,
Garrison Longley, David Kalb and Leslie
High.
Persons are still visiting the ruins caused by
the dreadful con1agration in Baltimore, and
ali return saddened By the sight. Our electric
cars have been running on regular schedule
time, for which we are most grateful. We are
hoping the bill before the Legislature to COM
pei consolidated roads to sell six tickets for
quarter will be passed. 1t pays in small cities
Of the South as well as Northern ones, and we
fail to see why it should not pay in Baltimore.
We are also anxiously waiting to see if the
Legislature is going to be accommodating
enough to have costs of law suits refunded to
parties who falsely imprisoned an innocent
man. A man who is known to be consUmp-
tive, Christian and most inoffensive person,
was thrust into Jail on an outrageous charge
and has suffered mentally and physically from
this most atrocious act, solely because some
one must be arrested to save the reputation of
officers and the poor invalid was the most
available person. He is the one who should
receive remuneration and not the man who
caused his suffering. T.
