On December 25th, near Eagle Rock, Va, by Rev. S. M. Bowman, Mr. Geo. W. Reid and Miss Maggie Jones, all of Botetourt County.

The ore mines at Princess or (Glen Wilton) Furnace are still on fire. The fire has gotten beyond the control of the miners and they have abandoned the different shafts that are on fire.

The new Methodist Church at Bethel is completed, this church was destroyed by fire on the 23rd of December, 1894. It was thought at the time that the church could not be rebuilt, but through the untiring energy of the Master and the liberal contributions of this community the church ahs been replaced in less than a year, and to the gratification of all, there is not one cent of debt on the church.

Mrs. White, of Lick Run, and Mrs. McCoy, of Glen Wilton, are both very ill.

Dr. Ball, of Salem, will preach at Bethel next Sunday morning at eleven o'clock and at Glen Wilton, at night. "
