308 JUNE 6 & 7, 1865 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
have always on hand a large assortment of the best groceries, provisions, etc. at low rates. Both gentlemen
are old hands at the business and are fully competent to supply the wants of the community.
CLIPPER GAP ROAD.—The cars will be running to Clipper Gap tomorrow. The Pacific Railroad
is rapidly approaching IIlinoistown and is so near now that by the middle of next week the stock of the
California Stage Company will be transferred to the new toll road, and then passengers from Sacramento
will reach this city in the forenoon. The new road is in splendid condition and being of such easy grade
that the stages can come through to this place on a trot. It is a magnificent road—neither pains or expense
have been spared in building it.
LEAVING CHURCH.—We have noticed a very impolite habit which prevails to a considerable
extent among church goers in this city. Men will go into Church and remain until the minister gets well
into the sermon and then get up, kick the side of the bench in getting out, and walk down to the door as
though their feet were iron-clads. The congregation and minister are disturbed by such conduct and in
nine cases out of ten there is no excuse for it. Church services never last longer than an hour or an hour
and a quarter, and men who cannot remain until their conclusion had better stay away. On last Sunday
we attended Church. During an interesting part of the sermon a fellow got up at the extreme end of the
row in which we sat, kicked our shins in getting out, and scrambled down towards the door as though he
were endeavoring to drown the preacher’s voice. We advise all who desire to leave Church to do so before
the sermon commences hereafter. If we were a preacher we could hardly resist the temptation to “shy” a
hymn book at these Church leavers.
FOR THE CHURCH.—We are requested to state that the amount, ($25) donated to Mrs. Eliza
Booth, who instructed and prepared the colored children for the exhibition, by the committee of
arrangements, was presented without her knowledge or consent, and that she has donated the amount to
the Church. She asked nothing for her services, believing she was engaged in a good work. Her action is
commendable.
THE Virginia Union is now published by an association of printers—among the number we notice
the name of A. P. Church, formerly of this city.

THEATRE BENEFIT.—The Theatre Company advertise in today’s paper a grand benefit ball to take
place at their new building on the 22nd of this month. The Theatre will be in splendid condition at that
time and those who attend will have the pleasure of dancing in the neatest and best hall this side of San
Francisco. The proceeds of the Ball will be expended in furnishing the theatre in the very latest style. The
Theatre Company have been to an immense expense in erecting a fine building which is a credit to the
city. Every man should buy a ticket and thereby enable the Trustees to carry out their plans to the fullest
extent.
