Our old friend, George McDonald, of Kingwood, will leave on July 1st for New Whatcom, Wash., where he will locate and engage in the law business. The Fourteenth annual reunion of the soldiers of Preston county will be held at Lake Terra Alta on July 1, 2, and 3d. It promises to be the best reunion ever held in the county. Col. Copeland has been engaged to lecture for them, and many other speakers have been engaged. The lake is attracting quite a number of people this summer and the company expect to have another sale of lots during the reunion, and we predict that it will soon become one of the noted summer resorts of the Alleghenies.
