And it happened in this way. | read
story the other day, wherein the
young man who figured prominently
was supposed to be an artist, "doing'i
Europe with combination of limp
and rheumatism that was painfully
undesirable to trot around with. so he
hit upon the idea of transferring [by
some hocus-pocus of twill power"l
the rheumatism around among his
friends, each one to have a day of
1T; and a happy notion struck me,
thinks l, have lots of friends, why
shouldn't 1 have, like everybody
more or less; wonder if they wouldn't
relieve me and the first one to whom
mentioned it who by the way is
just one of the best and solidest NOR
tails in Martinsburg, and won't he be
surprised when he see this, said "why
certainly" and to him you are indebt-
ed for the news and interesting events
which follow. Very truly yours,
LEONE.
Miss Mollie Mausburg is seriously
ill with Typhoid fever, at the resi-
dence OF Mrs. James Westall, West
King st.
Every person seems to have the
western fever. Chas. Smith sent 35
persons west last week over the Penn.
r. r. The fare to Kansas City is only
Sl2.
The Telegraphic craze has taken
possession of this city; the click, click,
of the sounder is heard, and the puz-
zled faces of the students may be seen
trying to decipher the hieroglyphics of
sound.
The Post Office is now running
smoothly under the new Democratic
regime. The faces of the new clerks
were filled with despair, when ON
opening the doors after the first mails
they were met with torrent some
thing like the following: John Smi-
Seventy Sevc-any thing for-papers
here for lock box, hundred and po-
stals-3 twos-2 ones-is this the cas-
tern mail, etc.
Mr.. S. V. Fiery has secured posi-
tlon as canvassing agent for the Day
ton Hedgefence Company, in Jefferson
County and with his suave manner is
sure to become popular with the farm
ing community.
Mrs. Rogers left for her home in
Missouri last Monday she was ac-
companied by her sister, Miss Bertha
Fiery, who will make her long visit.
Miss Campbell, who has spent the
winter with Mrs. Boyd Faulkner,
went with them as far as Cincinnati,
from whence she leaves for her Ken
lucky home. She will be missed by
her hosts of friends with whom she
was very popular.
Marshal Trammel will leave for
Newton, Kansas, in a few weeks,
where he will join his uncle in bust
ness.
Efforts are being made to organize
drum corps of 20 for the summer.
A three-story brick building is to be
erected on the site of the Adams Ex-
press building.
1t is a great pity that the telescope,
which was obtained through the eff
forts of the Grammar School scholars,
has not been mounted. Can't some
thing be done to complete the work ?
That " all men are MORTAL" seems
to be brought home with fresh vigor
to us this week. The Messrs. Wilen
had orders for seven funerals Monday
last. Among those who will be sadly
missed from among us, is Tab Snod-
grass. In the prime of life, he was
one of the most popular conductors on
the G. V. r. r. and was universal
favorite with all who knew him. He
was buried with the impressive SER
vice of the Masons on Tuesday last.
Jos. Kugler is home for short time,
in the settlement of his fathers affairs.
DIR. Hunter will probably return to
Martinsburg from Berkeley Spring,
