WiIliamSville Notes

1t is feared that the freezing
weather in the last week in April
injured the fruit crop here very
much. There will be very few
cherries, peaches and pears and not
half crop of apples.
The Lexington Presbytery at its
recent meeting at Harrlsonburg re-
united Williamsville and Mcdowell
churches and placed Deerfeld and
Goshen together So far as we have
learned neither of these churches
have secured pastors.
Miss Mary A. McClintic returned
last week from a lengthy visit to
Norfolk and on her return visited
friends in Staunton.
Mrs. Carroll Garrett of Hampton
is expected at the home of her
brother, Mr., Julian Byrd next week.
Mr.. Robert Lockridge of Burns
vile was the guest of Mr.. Frank
Coursey Sunday.
Mrs. John c. Marshall who has
been quite indisposed since having
the Grippe several months ago, is
very much improved.
Mr.. George Wallace visited rela-
tives and friends at Clover Creek
last week.
Mr.. Earnest Burns, who has been
making his home with his uncle,
S Wallace at Valley Center for
the past four years, left last week
for Vollmer, Idaho, where his cous-
in, Robert Wallace has resided for
the last six years. Mr.. burns expects
to make Idaho his future home.
Rev. Robert M. Stricken of Nor
gantown, w. Va. has accepted the
pastorate of Healing Springs, Wood
| land and Wallace Memorial baptist
churches and for the present will be
located at Healing Springs.
Miss Lula Wallace returned last
week from q visit to Mrs. Harvey
Mcclung at Bath Alum Springs.
There is an effort being made to
combine the counties of Highland
and Bath in one educational district
under the same supervisor; and un-
less our boards of Supervisors in

Eprobable the combination will be
effected. The combined salaries OF
both counties now scarcely pays a
man to devote his time to the school

4 DISAPPOINTMENT

F,sawhere In today's issue We
refer 70 the authority given the
pike Superintendent to have work
done on our street. When Mr.
McNultv called attention to the
bad condition of the street and was
directed TO have needed work done,
our people were delighted, but
when the order of the Board is eX-
amined and we find him authorized
to expend "the ratable amount of
toll due to this part of the pike, ="
it turns out to be great disap-
pointment, that is, if the Board
means for the present year only.
If it means the ratable part it
failed to get during 8 or 10 years
past, then an adequate amount
would be in sight, for, during this
period, it can be shown that some
thing like a half-mile section
through the town has not received
S1.OO.
The ratable part this year is
about $27.OO, perhaps, and would
hardly be sufficient to put in the
needed culvert to replace the old
one now choked and broken.
If the street could get its "back
pay" for re-facing, then the annu-
al toll-rate would keep it in repair.
We trust the Board will exam
inc the records" and give the coun-
ty-seat her just dues.
