A BIC SHIPMENT. --MessrS Jan
ney q Downey shipped from this
point on Monday, five hundred and
twenty-five bushels of clover seed
We saw it in bulk at their ware
house as they were grading it, and
as it represented considerably over
$4,000 we thought it a very nice lit
tie pile. 1t was packed in bags,
classed as No. /, and consigned to
Blandford, Fowler & Co., Baltimore,
ana is no doubt the largest single
shipment of clover seed ever made
from Martinsburg, filling one of the
largest b. u o. cars. The seed was
harvested in this county and was
the crops of the following farmers:
Chas Bowers, Jno d. Gardner, Mrs
Jno. Billinger, A. Ii. Myers, Saml.

j. Il. Catrow, j. NJ French, Chas.

There was couple of ladies in the
store the other day who hac bought
wraps in Washing on. We compared
them with ours ut the same price, and
found that ours were quallv as cheap,
and if there Was any Advantage we h ad
it And why not? We have hem
made to order and we can afford to sell
on less profit than they can. We will
positively guarantees them AS cheap as
you can buy them in any OF the cities.
Our sales this season are far ahead of
last season and we are receiving new
lots once awetk Another fact we for
go, TO mention is, that our wraps are
TIE best fitting ones in the market, as
we employ the best cutters we can

George WeIler's, near this place, met
with painful accident on Thurs.
day last. He was with the machine
threshipg wheat. While standing
on a rick of wheat, with "a fork in his
hand, he slipped off, and in the fall
one of the prongs of the fork went
in under the cheek bone and
came out just above the eye. The

it up in his hand 1t is thought
that the man will recover, and that
his eye will not be seriously affected. .

THE large and varied audience
present at lyceum hall on Monday
night last was an evidence of the
interest manifested for the lyceum s
success. Mr.. J. T. Paulding's I'm

ed by all present and very creditably
rendered. The Dutch hen story, as
read by Mr.. Thompson, was loudly
applauded. Mr.. David Dodd follow
ed in lengthy and welidelivered
defamation. The question for de-
bate was, RESOLVED, THAT the char
acter of Napoleon Bonaparte Is
worthy Of admiration. The mega
alive was represented by Messrs.
Austin Rodrick and William Dodd,
and the affirmative by Messrs. Alex.
Hughes and ID. s. Eichelberger.
The greatness of Napoleon was full
ly and ably shown by the Affirmative,
and the judges gave that side the
victory. The negative made a bold
fight also. The exercises for next
Monday night are as follows read

The troubles of base ball club managers
in their effort to secure star talent for
their several teams are growing serious.
Base ball prowess was never in such de-
mand before. Players can name their
own figures, at least they do name them,
and some hundreds have actually secured
contracts, while the scramble for the
really desirable ones left still goes on
One thing that is very amusing is the
different estimates that are placed on the
value of players, Some managers offer
big figures for players that other mana
gers wouldn't have at ALL As rule,
though, there is pretty we'll established
market price for men whose intrinsic value
depends on many different qualities
Some are popular, others are brilliant,
others safe and Others good all round. -
Several hundred thousand dollars will be
paid in salaries to base ball tossers next
year. Base ball is one of the growing
industries, hut there is danger of over
production.

tune, reasoned with himself as to the most
convenient and expeditions way of court
ing the tickle dame He dressed himself
in the fantastic custume of the orient,
styled himself the Fair of Savia," and
practiced sleight of hand in gift perform
ances He was quite as fraudulent as
the worst of the order, and one time in
Bellefontaine, Ohio, having $500 worth of
tickets on the strength of handsome gifts
promised, fed before the hour of the en-
tertainment, leaving his audience mob
of bowling indignation. He was not
heard again for number of years, when
he was converted at rivival meeting in
Madison, Ind. He became an evangelist
He served the new cause with an ardent
faith in its glorious beauties, and became
one of the most useful workers in the
fruitful field. His character was sweet
and lovable The Rev. DIR. Carrolton,
who died at Louisville last week, esteem
ed of all who knew him, was one time the
