WAINVILLE
Mrs. B. F. Fleming was bit by a copperhead snake last Friday, but not
seriously. Peck Berry was in our town Friday.
G. F. McElwain returned from the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, almost
blind, and reports his case incurable. Mr. Wallace, who travels
for the Delaplain Dry Goods Company, called on the merchants at this place
one day last week. The boys are having fun learning to ride
their bicycles. James B. Haynes & Son's traveling man stopped
with us last Wednesday. Lewis McElwain and A. G. Cogar and
their ladies have returned from a trip to Atlantic City. B.
F. Blankenship and Luther Weese started for the Black Mountains last
Monday, to dig ginseng. We hope they will come back loaded down with
the article. They had nothing to fear from snakes, as they had plenty
of the medicine with them.
LONE STAR.
