Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1885-08-08

THE HERALD Local News" took a
header last week into the vortex of style
and shocked the public with the infor-
nation that PantaloOns for horses and
mules are coming into fashion" / shall
have some trouble yet to convince the
editorial heads Of this burg that they are
totally untitled to talk about the unfath-
enable mysteries of fashion. It's useless
for any fashion letter to compete with
such brilliant remarks, unless it is filled
with such electric sparks as i" Clara
Bellies +" self-adjusting hustle, which is
said to spread into sort of camp chair
for the reception of the wearer when she
wants to sit down, and to fold itself into
hustle when she rises up. Some of the
Martinsburg girls are just dying for
those impromptu seats to come this way,
so handy for camp and picnics, you know.
But that's neither here nor there, was
going to say with regard to this new
fashion that 1t is startling news, and
likely to develop a revolution in trade.
The merchants who have heretofore con-
tracted to stuff, pad, and otherwise $ fit y
only the manly form divine, will now an
nounce their enterprise and progress in
signs like this: Clothing for Man and
DOehoot hooy Aiol tAto S,0ol dAtCC01 AtO1OAo W
Geyer's Livery Stable.
There are attractive features about this
such as seeing Messrs Lobenthal,
Thompson and Myers try pair of panta-
looms on a festive mule, or even on one
in delicate health who has not heard of
the latest style or who protests against
ranking as Martinsburg dude. Then,
too, it would fill our papers with inter-
esting locals such as Mrs. A. s pony came
out yesterday evening in a new suit, har-
with the costume worn by Mrs.
A. The whole tout ensemble attracted
great deal of attention and admiration
Miss B. g pony was robed in the conven.
tional dress suit with celluloid collar,
and made very stylish appearance. In
this new department, but we haven't
time just now to state any more of them.

There was a very good musical enter
,ainment given at Feller's Hall Friday
evening of last week by family whose
name / have forgotten. There was no
admission fee charged, but the hat was
passed around afterward and gathered
in a creditable fee. Martinsburg audien
,es are so seldom surprised with shows
given on the go-as-you- please principle,
hat they could afford to be generous.
g Little Lolita !" gathered in the affec-
ions of Charlie Smith and Pat Cunning
nam.
We suggest that this corporation invest
N the National colors to the extent of
one flag. anyhow. Mayor Lambert says
hat when Gen. Grant died he wanted to
lang flag at half-mast at the City Hall,
and hunted all over town for one with
)ut success.

The dedication services of st. John s
Lutheran Church will commence on
August 10Th, and continue through the
week. The services will be varied and
and the music-which is al
ways good in this congregation-has been
especially for this occasion, and
will be pleasant feature of the ceremo-
lies. Rev. r. C. Holland, the energetic
md genial pastor of the church to whom
he congregation and the city at large are
indebted for so large and handsome an
,difice and so beautiful house of wor-
hip, further adds to the Indebtedness of
he people and to the interest of the &C.
,asion by bringing former pastors of this
to lend their presence at
hat time, SO that it will be q reunion,
mi happy social as we'll ceremonial
occasion.
The United Brethren picnic held at

lie.

The Zouaves will picnic at Mont Alto
Aug. Goth. The contest for the medals,
to be an interesting one between
frant Pitzer and Frank Williams. Cap
ain ROhrbaugh says he will furnish all
he ladies who want to take part in the
hooting match with toy pistols or bows
nd arrows. In case there are many |
alls for the latter weapons, one of the
mailer members will be attired as cupid |
n making the presentation. We have
lo..doubt that the CaptainH would him.
elf try to represent that arch enemy |
tut for the fact that Cupid himself is in
10 danger of being shot at, especially |
" the Martinsburg girls, anyhow, that
S what Frank Farnsworth and Charlie |
Ioung says.
