    3. The Washington Republican Washington County Friday January 29, 1897 Hollenburg. We were very much surprised Thursday morning to see James CLAPP call on the tonsorial artist to get his hair cut. He then went to Washington. We think he much have had very important business. A.S. VAUGHT made a flying trip to Hanover Saturday. A. U.S. penison inspector was here looking up the pension claim of widow McCAULEY, last week. M. JONES, who has been in Colorado Springs, Colo., for the past ten months came home Firday. We are glad to see Mr. Jones with us again. We are informed that R.T. KERR was roaming the streets the other day lamenting the loss of three "bob tail" roosters. It anyone hears of the same please notify the above names gentleman. We are sorry to hear that the Salvation Army meeting of last Friday night was disturbed by certain young men of town and vicinity. We think that young men of intelligence should have better judgement, or surely they ought to have respect for themselves and the ones who are there to listen and profit by the services. We think it is high time for such disturbances to be stopped. If not by persuasive power, surely by some other means. We think it would be more gentlemanly to stay away if they won't behave. We also hear that some were so unmanly as to spit tobacco juice on the floor. We think the young that loaf around town chewing and smoking tobacco, ought to be at home reading literature that would life their minds to a higher and more useful way of living. Just because the "Salvation Army" is not the sect or people the young men think they should be, is not any reason why they should create any disturbance at the meetings. We think the young men will take heed and we home in! the future anything of the kind will never occur again.
