some city, during the summer soils
tice; but what shall I say? 'Twould
never do to give them away, or else
there will be the deuce to pay; let's
call them the indefinite they, whom
you have all seen and sometimes
heard pour out their devotions with
the Jealous worship of David whose
prisons were likely to break forth
any hour of the day" morn, noon
and night" inclusive. Oh, Yes suf-
ferers from that insidious disease
parade the epidemic TO and fro and
seem to be proud of it. The victims
of the tender passion are allowed to
go about unmuzzled-only the deaf
feeling really secure from posing as
an unwilling detrop,-and yet Charlie
O'Neal never thinks of hunting them
down and shooting them, tho the
post Office is full of their tracks.
Love is delicate and poetical SUBJ
ject, and its subjects are mostly poeti-
cal and delicate; and I've satisfied
the spectators by "saying something"
as near to nothing as possible, to con-
vince them that to fall in love is hui
man, to forgive divine, and to fur
thermore suggest that they do not
laugh at the happy sufferers it's un-
generous and unkind, and as a rule
they don't seem able to help it; tits
true, tits pity, and pity tits, tits true,
but:
Men have their time to fall-[in
love-,
And girls to hang upon their slight
est breath.
Love has all seasons for its own-to
call;
Perhaps that's why they liken it to
death.
Miss Nellie Beard Hollis, the little
7-year-old daughter of Mr.. VIM. M.
Hollis, of West Martin Street, is the
owner of a young canary bird with
quite history it escaped from its
cage on the 26 of July, and was only
recaptured when nearly drowned by
the heavy rain of that day, and again
on the 10th of this month, Nellie's
cat upset the cage and the bird was
captured on South Church Street.
Little Nell is very proud of her bird
as it was birthday present from her
Aunt.
For the benefit of those who do not
seem to understand the length and
breadth and heighth and depth of
and work and encourage
ment and patronage necessary to the
contemplated trade edition" of
THE HERALD, nor how much of a
factor for the interests of the county,
the town and the business people it
will be, l give the opinion of such
men as Judge Faulkner of this City,
and other prominent men. Judge
Faulkner says Of it, "THE HERALD
has engaged in a laudable enterprise,
one that | am glad to see, and most
heartily endorse in every way and
which is practical, earnest effort
for the best interests of the place that
all should readily recognize and hear
tily support as matter of personal
interest, and for the benefit of the
community" In a letter to the
editor, a prominent lawyer of a neigh
boring town, says: "Your efforts in
booming Martinsburg should be
by all the people of your
county. 1t is in the right line and the
only way to build up town. That
is the way western towns succeed
For some time / have been trying to
get our people to raise fund and
have done for our town just what you
propose to do for Martinsburg. Your
edition may encourage them to act."
Such encourage ment as the above is
by those who know per-
sonally the labor and hard work to be
done, not only on the paper, but to
convince some portions of this COM
that there is no Mulberry
Sellers Millions in it for us. Hence
/ have right to be pleased when
prominent, intelligent people of the
town irrespective of party, say of
THE HERALD: alt deserves and
always has deserved patronage and
"THE HERALD is de-
cidedly the best paper published
here" "The enterprise is most
commendable, and no political differ
ences should hinder anyone from
supporting paper of so high moral
q tone as is THE HERALD" {" / am
proud to see SO much enterprise dis
played. THE HERALD deserves sue
cess" The trade edition of THE
HERALD will be issued as soon as
the engravings are finished, the first
or second week in September.
The responses forcuts of prominent
men ami public buildings have in most
cases baen readily given, and all in
terest taken in the matter has been
greatly appreciated by the working
force, and / think l can assure our
friends and all interested that the
trade edition will be a creditable pro-
duction to all concerned.
The City Band gave an excellent
concert Tuesday evening. The Band
give their excursion to Mt. Vernon
Aug. Goth. Fare at greatly reduced
rates.
