has a two-year old Thoroughbred
colt, which is pronounced by the
best judges to be the finest colt in
the county. Through some misun-
derstanding Mr.. Keys failed to enter
him in time, but had him on exhibit
tion at the fair. All who saw him
did not hesitate to say that he would
have carried off the premium for the
best two year old, if he had been en-
tered. The colt is is hands high, a
bright bay, with star in forehead ,and
is of the Blackham and Shuman
Messenger stock.

THERE is considerable talk among
the military inclined gentlemen of
the town, of organizing Zouave
company. There is plenty of mate

means let it be a Zouave company,
as we are sure the novelty of the
tactics and unifocm, and the char
acter and energy OF those working
up the matter, will commend the
movement to the citizens and re-
ceive their fostering aid.

A NEW BANDA number of the
young men Of Martinsburg have or
ganized for the purpose of starting
a new brass band. Twenty-one
names are on the rolls, and they COM
prize some Of the best musical talent
in the place. An effort will be made
to purchase the instruments at once,
which are to be Of the latest and
most improved style, and of the best
make. AS soon as the instruments
are purchased they will set about
getting a handsome and tasty uni
form.
We are glad to see this movement
on the part Of our young men, and it
should meet with every encourage
ment on the part of our citizens.
There is no reason why Martinsburg
cannot have two good bands. The
friendly rivalry between them for
excellence in playing will tend to
make both better.
