horses, who finally stopped of their own
accord.

element. When he reached the Shannon
Haines farm his horse began to prance
around in frantic manner and fell into a
ditch. Catching the animal by the bride,

1t is difficult to imagine what Mount
Holly has ever done that should cause
such an affliction to be placed upon our
citizens as that imposed by DIR. W. II.
Long in bringing here what purported to
be some musicians, who discoursed in a
nerve-racking manner in front of the
opera house for two weeks. The Diamond
Jack show and the medicine sold with it
may have been all right, but had the ag-
gregation made a street parade, there is
no telling what would have happened
Recollections of those discordant strains
cannot fade from memory any too soon
Fleetness of foot, and with the nerve to
resist fainting in the presence of danger,
served Mrs. Annie Hubbs, of Bird geboro,
to good purpose last week While com
ing home from Beverly she was chased by
strange man. Having passed an I'm
known person at lonely place along the
road and not feeling entirely confident OF
safety, she turned to look back and saw
the man running after her. Remember
ing the sprinting days of her girlhood,
she cut loose from all thought of age OF
ayoirdupois and soon put distance be
tween herself and pursuer. Failing to
catch the woman the man turned and fled
toward Beverly. Mrs. Hubbs was quite
exhausted and nervous upon reaching
home.

affair and the youthful performers covered
themselves with glory. The first part o.

Strubel, of Germantown, gave recitation
which delighted the audience, and Mis-
Mary Folwell, of Mount Holly, who ha
frequently given exhibitions of her abilit,
