space forbids specification, and
you can help yourself. If a man

There is absolutely no fault to be

The officers of the tribe are: c..
b. Huls, sachem; G. l.. Troxel,
prophet; Geo. Stoughton, S. s.;
John Conrad, j. s. This tribe
celebrated it's 1st anniversary last
regular meeting night with
feast and social good time. A
large number of pale faces were
invited to the feast, and enjoyed
the evening as much or more so,
as the braves, especially the feast.
Space will hardly permit me to
enumerate the ordinary dishes,
but it is safe to say deer, buffalo
and bear were in evidence, bear
enough to feed the little braves
after the pale faces had gorged
themselves. This was one of the
evenings in the history of Rock

Boyd Troxel, the life of the
town, soldier, statesman, farmer,
doctor, minister and in fact the
General Gage of Rockbridge, is
able to sit up and notice things.
He has for several days, yes years
past, been troubled with some-
what unaccountable and unpro-
nouncable disease. Albert Weir
claims "hungereatemup." Al
says it's Dago disease with
Hungarian name. He says a per.
son imagines all the time he is
hungry and is continually eating
when he can get anything to eat.
The only exercise they take is
half hour after supper, that is
If person is able to carry what
he has eaten. He says Boyd has
been unable to take this much
needed exercise until very recent
ly; that the proyender has failed
him and he has been compelled 10
come out and "dIg." AL says
that won't last long for ''as soon
as Boyd sees his shadder" he'll
rush back in his hole and won't
turn out till spring.
We desire to say that we are
under many obligations to School
Examiner and Justice of the Peace
Stoughton for the many courtesies
extended to "Old 81" during his
short stay in Rockbridge.
