A Daring RObbery.-A dispatcl

A Daring RObbery.-A dispatch
from Hagerstown to the Baltimore
american of Tuesday says: "On last Sat-
urday Mr.. Kline, an aged farmer resid-
ing near Benevola, this county, left
home to visit his son. Mrs. Kline, who
is also advanced in years, remained at
home, and about midnight she was
awakened by the noise OF some one
walking in the room, and by the dim
light of IA candle she distinguished two
masked men. Attempting to rise from
the bed, she was struck on the head
with a sand-bag, and, by accident, the
candle was extinguished. Upon the cam
die being relighted, Mrs. Kline was con-
fronted By the men, with drawn revolt
yers in their hands, who demanded
what money was in the house. She di-
rected the robbers to where $240 In cash
was concealed, taking which they quick
ly left the premises.
Late Monday afternoon the police ar
rested Edward Ludwig, Hiram Kline,
George Kline, his son, of Hagerstown;
Harry Hill, who claims to be from Phil
adelphia, and Il stranger who refused
to give his name, on the charge of hav-
ing assaulted and robbed Mrs. Kline.
Upon being searched 1921 was found on
Hill, $50 OH Ludwig, and smaller sums
OH the rest. 1t is charged that they
were spending money freely and that
they were seen in the vicinity of Bene-
VIOLA the night of the robbery. The
prisoners were committed to Jail for a
hearing"

of costly and valuable wearing apparel
belonging to Mrs. Hamilton and Miss
Julia Hamilton had been stolen. The
articles taken include several handsome
dresses and costly laces, aggregating in
value over $1,000. The locks Of the

places. The matter has been placed in
the hands of the railroad authorities in
whose custody the baggage was at the

Change Of Time.-It is said that
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad the
3O.h Of this month. Although We have
no definite knowledge, it is stated that
only two trains will be changed. The
one that leaves Shepherdstown for the
North at 100 q. m. will be about an
hour later, while the south bound train
that now arrives at HOS will get here
at $40. This will be most beneficial
change, as it will give the people along
the line of the road their mail about
two and half hours earlier. The Pull
man sleeper which has heretofore been
attached to the midnight train has been
withdrawn.

A Successful ExhlbfiiOn.-Prov-
idence smiled on the Farmers Stock
and Agricultural Society Of Moler's
Cross Roads by giving 1t fair day on
which to bold its annual exhibition
Thursday, August 9th. And when
Providence and the good people Of that
neighborhood unite to make thing a
success it IL bound to be one. The day
was an absolutely perfect one, as far as
the weather was concerned, the temper
AZURE being delightfully."- cool and inst
enough clouds to temper the suns rays.
The Society had made every arrange
ment for the comfort and convenience
of visitors and exhibitors, and the efforts
made to this end were well planned and
carried out. There was an immense
crowd of persons in attendance-many
more than last year-the number being
variously estimated at from two thou
sand to three thousand. The crowd
was an orderly and Intelligent one, be-
ing composed Of the farmers Of Jefferson
and adjoining counties with good
sprinkling from Maryland. Shep-
herdstown sent large delegation, and
the town presented deserted appear
ance during the day.
The President of the Society, Captain
Lee II. Moler, introduced Hon. Geo. NJ.
Beltzhoover as President Of the day,
and Mr.. Beltzhoover made some brief
but entertaining remarks in introducing
Hon. WIN. L. Wilson, Member of Con-
gress from this district. Mr.. Wilson's
address was an excellent one, his SUBJ
ject, of course, being one Of real, prac-
teal interest to farmers. He was listen
ed to with marked attention, and when
he concluded, dinner hour was an
nounced. This occupied the attention
of every one, and we will not attempt
to describe the bountiful meal which
we, with others. enjoyed from the hands
of the ladies of that neighbOrhood. AT
ter dinner interesting speeches were
made by Messrs. e. j. Simpson, Of Mar
tinsburg, and Samuel Michaels, of this
county.
There were large number OF exhib-
its. Horses and colts, cattle, sheep, hogs,
poultry, products of the soil, the handi-
work of the ladies, machinery, &C.,
were represented by the best Of their
classes, while the cnterprising business
men of Shepherlstown and other places
had creditable displays Of their goods.
The Kccdysville Cornet Band enlivened
the occasion with excellent music, and
a string baud and dancing platform af-
forded amusement for many. There
was a review of the live stock in the
afternoon.
The exhibition was successful one
ia every respect, and those who labOred
so faithfully to make it SO deserve the
highest credit. They have encourage
ment to make their Society II permanent
one, and rs long as they have exhibi.
tions like this one they will continue to
be enjoyed by many people.
Capt. Charles III. Knott was the eff
cient Chief Marshal, with Mcssrs. Geo.
Banks. Frank Koontz, G. Frank Engle
and Grove Henkle us assistants. All
the officers Of the Society were united
in their efforts to make the day pleas
ant one, and performed their duties
most satisfactorily. A list of the prizes
awarded will be published in our next
issue.

Mnriinsburg Business Locals.

No Whining.-''Trade has been quiet this
season." This is the mournful cry heard on
every hand. We are glad 10 say that we are
not candidates for public sympathy. on the
contrary, we congratulate ourselves that de-
spite general depression in business our sales
have been entirely satisfactory. Here are the
reasons: ID - .f.f
1--we buy our goods for cash. "For cash"
means lowest price and a liberal discount.
2-We make n moderate and reasonable
profit on what we sell Except on some lines
where the profit is so modest that IL Is out OF
our sight.
S-We aim TO tell the simple truth about our
goods. Overpraise may make one sale, but
how about the next? We want TO keep our
customers.
i've watch the market closely and keep
on hand the freshest and newest styles.
5-We have one price for all. Your little
child can buy as cheaply as you can.
Eve do not expect you TO buy every time
you look. We want you TO examine what we
have. We are always glad to see you.
These are our cardinal principles. They will
tell in the long run. They have been very
advantageous TO our BUSINESS. DO you like
them? lfyou do come and look Mt our line
OF dress goods, carpets, &c.
