Although with space circum-
scribed for my own lubrications, l
give room with pleasure to two
communications-one from a local
contributor, and the other from a
former resident of the Valley.
Hunt 'em up and read them:
they're all right.
During the progress of a thun-
der storm on Monday of last week,
the spire and roof of the German
Lutheran church were struck by
lightning and considerably dam
aged. Several persons in the
vicinity were severely shocked by
the Embellishments Gazette.
A warrant was issued for the ar
rest of some rampageous young
man This name l have not learned)
at Graniteville last Saturday, the
charge being the carrying of oon-
cealed weapons. Sheriff Marshall
and Deputy Hill went out to take
the alleged offender in, but he flew
the coop before their arrival.
Reuben Miller and Jesse Hall,
two boys of Graniteville, were ar
rested last week on the charge of
having run over, with their horses,
an old man by the name of VIM.
Treadway, on the Sunday night
previous, as he was going home
from church. The boys gave bond
for their appearance at circuit
court.
w. L. Mathews thinks of start

on a prospecting tour. He has
been employed by the Holiday

years as their expert timberman,

other apartment has too much cold
steel equipment to render it en-
ticing to my eye. Yet the Doctor
seems to be especially proud of its
belongings, and l am told thai
with them he renders to denta

The Arcadia Hotel comes more
nearly to my notion of what q
summer retreat ought to be thar
any hostelry the Valley has pos.
sessed for years. 1t recalls the
days when it's %progenitor, so tc
speak, was indeed widely ane
favorably known to the worlc
seeking shelter from the summer
heat, the river-level's malariou'
atmosphere, and the lowland-bor1
mosquito. .a
The witnesses for the State il
the Spaugh cases, together will
Mr.. Edgar, were notified by phone
Monday afternoon, from Centre
vile, that the defendants had an
nounced themselves ready for trial
to be taken up Tuesday morning
Accordingly about a dozen peopl
left Monday evening for the capita
of the county of Reynolds-som'
by rail and some "overland." TIL
trials of Mrs. Spaugh and Arthu
will probably require two weeks.
Circuit court will convene mex
Monday, July 10Th, for the pur

When the case against Arthu
Spaugh was called in the circu!

attorneys for the defense filed a
affidavit declaring Judge William
was prejudiced and not competer
to try the case. The Judge over
