Did you ever notice what a variety
OF conversational scraps are heard or
an evening promenade. They look
very like mental crazy patchwork. 2
l think I'll have it plain on one side
with lace and -" Did you
never hear that? why she told me
long ago, and fuss enough 10y
"Oh yes! I've got his word for it, but
what in the is that WORTH
+" | didn't think she'd ever find that
out, but -" cts not good poll
cy, the idea of cutting down the pole
What am God, anyway
we hears the preachin', but nobody
-.o "I'se not goin' to harvest
for less than two dollars nohow -
:" He has such dreamy eyes, and -"
Would you wear white, or that new
better off -" "Tm most dead
on my feet" She's good look
ing girl, but talk -" They say
he's engaged, but I don't -

you know who - "There's
a good-looking drummer, let's cross
is my bangs all right ?
-" Did she say anything
about me -.u
The Hon. Mr.. McGraw does not wear
a very weighty crown, yet his head
must have rested very uneasy after
the Martinsburg factions
Monday night. Patriotism is evident
ly at a low ebb when even the courte-
sy of a serenade was neglected. The
M. G. B. should have thought of it, if
only from motives of policy. Since
music hath charms to soothe the saw
age breast, and something soothing
was evidently needed somewhere"
Talking of Music, we hear some
very excellent string bands, that once
in awhile waken up the sleeping pop
ulation with melody. But they learn
in the course of their nocturnal RAM
blings that there are dogs that serious
lv object to their music. So, girls,
if you want a serenade keep your lit
tie doggie out of sight. He may not
have good ear for music; some dogs
have a great deal of discrimination in
such matters.

The Fair and Festival given by the
Mechanics Band in Feller's Hall was
very well patronized, and was nicely
and everybody enjoyed
themselves immensely.
This Band is deserving of patronage
and have come through adverse cir
and with very little in
to be an excellent band.
They give picnic to-day at Potomac
Isle.
The patrons and friends of Rankin's
Photograph Gallery, will be glad to
hear that George Brown, who has
been with Mr.. Rankin for years, has
purchased the gallery, and has added
largely to the stock with many more
facilities for making firstclass pictures.
Mr.. Brown is doubly happy in the
possession of the gallery and the ar
rival at his home of a wee photOgla ph-
er, who will after awhile wrestle with
the world of posing people.
Andrew Woods, a bright little son
of Rev. F. M. Woods, has for sale a
fine and interesting volume of choice
poems and literary gems from the
best authors, called Perfect Jewels"
A valuable and handsome addition to
any library, and we hope he will meet
with the success the work deserves.
Mrs. Reilly and Miss Regina Reilly
are summering in the Keystone State.
Mrs. Gerhardt is visiting in Gettys-
burg, Pa.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Riddle spent
with friends in this city.
Miss Sue Hunter, of Berkeley
Springs, is visiting relatives and
friends here.
There was a pleasant excursion
given the Press and the Clergy by the
Falling Waters Steamboat Company,
TO Potomac Isle last Thursday.
The management have spared neith-
or trouble nor expense to fit up this
Island as a first-class pleasure resort,
and have enclosed the Island from
the waters edge with handsome wire
fence, and have otherwise improved
and beautified the grounds.
Its being easy of access, and the
pleasure of a boat ride should make
it popular summer resort, aside from
any question of local interest in the
place.
The Masonic fraternity built for
themselves temple of social fame on
night, and it wasn't on
the "bricks without straw plan eth
er. There was a neat little speech of
welcome by Mr.. Blackburn Hughes,
and an unique order of exercises by
the officers of the lodge, after which
the fraternal committee introduced
the ice-cream and cake. Bob Criswell
said he intended to hire out as re-
he had eat so much ice
cream that everybody who got near to
him shivered and said, Ugh anoth-
er cold wave."
King Solomon was there, and al
though there was no especial "She-
ba," her "train" was pretty well
represented. Altogether, the festi-
val of St. John was very enjoyable
occasion in a modern way, and if /
were a man, think / should want to
wear the badge of the craft, too.

School on Thursday evening, were o.
