A newspaper article of community news for Glen Wilton. It reads,

"The season typified by Riley, 'when the frost is on the pumpkin ant the fodder's in the shock' is full upon us again there is no more pleasing sight to the rustic's eye than some of the valleys lying along the James, studded by the innumerable shocks of corn and entwined by the rich golden pumpkin, what encidents [sic] of boyhood's days is the vogue at present.

Large attendance at the services held in the M. E. Church on Sunday and sermons greatly enjoyed.

Some of our hunters have gone on a bear hunt to North Mountain. We hope it may prove more than a bear hunt.

Mrs. J. H. Callahan and Mrs. White of Clifton Forge spent Saturday as guests of Mrs. Wilton Cook.
