We are glad to state that Mr.. U.

house.
Not withstanding Bro. Colston of
the Statesman received the appoint
ment of postmaster at Martinsburg
several months ago, he has not yet
been confirmed, and Bro. Evans and
his efficient corps of assistants still
hold the fort; and from the present
appearance of things they are likely
| to hold it for some time to come.
Nothing is certain in this political
world.

A Beautiful Woman.

A woman with pleasant smile, clear
skin, bright eyes. generous expression,
elastic step, hearty-hand shake and cour-
teous welcome. Such a woman is not
the victim of debility, languor, or dys-
pepsia. She has overcome these pests
by using Brown Iron Bitters, the world s
great tonic. Miss Matte Benson, South

Browns Iron Bitters for weakness and
lack of appetite and energy, felt like

From the Shepherdst0i1a Register.
Nine shoats, belonging to Major
Jas. Law. Hooff. residing near Cam
eron's Station, this county, were kill
ed by a Baltimore & Ohio train recent
ly. They were valued at Sc per head.
Rev. B. F. Fox, colored, at one
time pastor Of the Baptist church in

large and flourishing congregation in
Salem, Va. Mr.. Fox is worthy
man, and we wish him much success.
Bishop Peterkin, of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in West Virginia,

a hospital, orphanage and home in
the Kanawha Valley for the benefit
of the poor, sick and unfortunate. 1t
is to cost $50, 600 and the amount is to
be raised by subscription.
WHAT WE LIKE.-We like to hear
a man refuse to take his home paper
and all the time sponge on his neigh
bors for the reading of it. We like to
hear man say when he is asked to
subscribe for his home paper that he
takes more than he can read now, and
then go and borrow his neighbours or
loaf around until he gets the news from
it. We like to see man run down
his home paper as not worth taking
and then beg the editor for something
in the editorial column. We like to
see a merchant or mechanic refuse to
advertise in his home paper and then
try to get a share of the trade which
the newspaper brings to town. We
like to see merchant send away for
printing and save % cents, which he
pays to the express company for de-
livering the goods. We like TO see
this; it looks economical, thrifty, pro-
gressive, and cheeky to say the least.
APPoINTMENT.-M Meade Deck,
who has been teaching school for a
number of years at Uvil!a, has been
appointed to thousand-dollar clerk
ship in the War Department. at
Washington. We congratulate him
on his good luck, but dislike to lose
the services of such good teacher.
