The Vernon CLipper April 15, 1879
PIKEVILLE ITEMS
“UNCLE” ANDY MOTES, thinking that last Monday was election day, came to town, 
but was surprised to find that he was a month ahead of time.  He intends to 
vote for Pikeville,

A singing convention was held at Oak Grove Church on Luxapalila, on the first 
Sunday, which, we are informed, was the most interesting musical event that has 
ever occurred in that section.  The singing classes of PROF. MARTIN SHIRAY,   
PROF. STEPHEN CAUDLE, and PROF. YERBY, were present, and, with their respective 
teachers, gave an exhibition of their proficiency in vocal music.  All 
acquitted themselves most creditably, but the verdict of the crowd seemed to be 
that PROF. YERBY’S class bore off the palmn (sic) of victory. DR. OSBORNE, of 
Columbus, was present, and gave a lecture on Music and the best method of 
teaching it.

The Barnesville Justice’s Court had three felony cases before it, last 
Saturday, the offense charged being perjury.  All the accused parties were 
promptly discharged and the prosecutors taxed with the costs.  SQUIRE JOHN 
HAMILTON, with whom was associated “Squire Bishop” of Bexar, presided.
