To the Citizens OF Berkeley
and adjoining Counties.

Nearly eight years ago / began
business in Martinsburg. At that
time my stock was small and credit
limited. BY fair dealing and close
attention to business, 1 have built
up my present trade, and think it no
exageration to say that l now have
not only the largest stock of watches,
clocks, jewelry, solid silver and pla'
ted ware in Martinsburg, but the
largest stock ever brought here and
am still receiving additions almost
every day. These goods are bought
direct from manufactures, who have
regulations to sustain, which is the
best guarantee of their quality.
/ will not undertake to enumerate,
as have not the space in which to
do it. but will simply say l have
nearly everything in my line, and am
prepared to sell as low in price as any
body in this or any other place, can
sell the same quality of goods. mot
only guarantee my goods as represent
ed, but guarantee the prices. / want
purchasers to feel that in dealing
with me they not only get the quail
ity of goods they pay for, but get
them at bottom prices.
Would especially invite all to
make my store a visit during the
county Fair, and examine my stock
and prices, whether you buy or not,
feeling assured you will be pleased
with the display. No trouble to
show goods. Respectfully.
w. l.. JONES.

The Prohibitionists are making
a warm fight for prohibition in
Ohio. Reports indicate that the
vote in its favor will be tremendous
in some of the rural districts,
and that it will likely be carried.
The women have gone into the
fight with a will, and in many
places on election day, will serve
hot coffee to workers and voters
The excitement caused by the
temperance fight has somewhat
over Swallowed the contest be-
tween the Democrats and Repub
licans, and has certainly mixed it
up SO that the shrewdest politi-
clans are unable to predict the
result.

From the Statesman.

The regular seIni-aunual meeting Of
| tie valley Conyocation was held last
week in Trinity Church this city.
There were present. The Dean. the
Rev. L. K. Mason, the Reys. Dallas
Tucker, John $. Gibson, WIN. r. Lea
veil, III. Pogo, o. s. Bunting, and the
Rector Of the Parish. The venerable
Area Deacon Kirkby, ID. d., Of Canada
was also present b. special invitation
Of the Conyocation. six parishes were
not represented
The first service was held on We'd
nesday night, the 10Th, all Of the clergy
being present in the chancel. The
sermon was preached by the Rev.
Dallas Tucker of Charlestown. Thurs
day morning the Holy Communion was
celebrated, the Dean Of the Convocation,
the Rec. l.. R.Mason of Shepherdstown,
making very pointed and help full adj
dress.
On Thursday night the congregation
was treated to a most delightful address
on the subject OF Missions among the
Indians in Bridish America, by the ven
cradle archdeacon Kirkby.
Friday morning the sermon was by
the Rev. j. Page, of Wickliffe, Virginia.
The Service of the convocation was on
Friday night, when Arch Deacon
Kirkby held the audience in rapt at
tention for one hour and twenty min
utes, on the subject Of missions in
Alaska. Few men exhibited more
thorough spirit of conservation to the
service Of Christ, than the Arch Dea-
con, and but few men can present the
truth with more sublime simplicity.
The Rev q. Bunting, of Harrisonburg,
remained over Sunday, and treated the
congregation to forcible and well
thought sermons, on Saturday night,
Sunday morning and Sunday night.
The practical business Of the Con-
vocation was large and required four
sessions to complete it. 1t is the opin-
ion of the clergy present, that many
measures were adopted, which will
greatly further the work of the Church,
within the bounds of the convocation.
And so they parted refreshed and en-
couraged for having met together.

If electrical science and inven
ton continue their present mar
vellous growth, the present must
come to be known as the Electric,
rather than the Iron Age. 1t is
only seven years siuce the Centen-
NAL Exhibition closed its doors.
Then electrical appliances, now ia
miliar to all, were in their infancy.
To-day the field broadens in every
direction, gives daily evidences of
greater possibilities, and stretches
out illimitably. No one can fore
tell the coming triumphs OF cleo
trical research.

On Tuesday morning last, be-
tween one and two o'clock, few
hours after it's corridors had closed
to the tread of thousands of Wis
itors, the Pittsburg Exposition
was wrapped in flames that left
it, in o few minutes, a fallen, ashen-
gray corpse. Since the New York
Crystal Palace, twenty-five years
ago, no similar disaster has fallen
upon any community in this coun-
try. The loss is S750,000, the in
surance 100000. Deep regrets
must attend the destruction Of
some of the exhibits that are now
ashes and ruins. The relics that
are priceless, the work of the artist
and the artisan, all fell a prey to
the merciless flames.
