MONEY TO BE MADE.-It Is said
that dull times are not known by the
agents for the great publishing house
of George Stinson q Co., Of Portland,
Maine. The reason of this exception
al success is found in the fact that they
always give the public that which Is
keenly appreciated and at prices that
all can afford. At present we under
stand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines. They
need many more agents in all parts of
the country. Those who need profit
able work should apply at once
Women do as well as men. Expert
fence is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson & Co. undertake to show all
who are willing to work, not hard but
earnestly, the path to large success.
1t should be remembered that an
agent can do a handsome business
without being away from home over
night. Another advantage--it costs
nothing to give the business trial,
and an agent can devote all his time,
or only his spare moments to it.
Stinson & Co. guarantee grand success
to all who engage and follow simple
and plain directions that they give.
We have not space to explain all here,
but full particulars will be sent free to

visible and for anything else we can't
vouch.
A party of "gay young gents !"

don't know their intention, but if
they succeed in the Imagination, /

PETERSBURG NEWS.

We have not seen anything in THE
HERALD from this place for some
time. 1t seems that Oaks, Peters
burg and elsewhere have all given it
up for some unknown cause, it may
be the present administration.
Winter again has made its annual
visit. and brought with it the cold
breezes and the beautiful smowfiakes.
Thanksgiving day was long,
dreary, lonesome one. A great many
were disappointed on account of ram
and snow.
Quite a number of wild turkeys
have been killed in this neighbor-
hood. Messrs. John w. Shriver, A.
u. kesecker and :. A. Kesecker after
some heavy shooting ON last Satur-
urday, succeeded in bringing two of
them to the ground.
Mr.. S. H. Butts is paying 8 cts. ID.

ants; 10 cts. for cartridges and 10 cts.
for rabbits.
A number of people from this place
have been attending revival services
at Snyder's School house and Jones
Spring. There have been quite a
number of conversions at both places.
May the good work go on, is our sim
cere wish.
The attendance of the school at this
place is good. The average daily at
tendance for last month was %, and
that of the present month will be con-
siderably more. Mr.. P. T. Kesecker,
who has been teaching here for the
last three terms, deserves credit for
the earnest efforts which he has put
forth for the advancement of each
pupil, and not only for the earnest
efforts, but for the advancement of
each, as they have been thoroughly
taught.
Messrs. VIM. Norrington and John
Edwards are both lying in a critical

Martinsburg, w. Va, in the presence
of large concourse of friends. The
best men or ushers were Messrs N i.
K. Roberts, Rosser Homer, VIM.
Albin, and Bates Watson. Truly it
can be said that it was the scene of a
brilliant wedding.
Jimmy Clenening told us few days
ago that he had a wedding in view
that he would have us announce this
week but he failed to give it to us.
Who the contracting parties are or
were to be is unknown to X, but sup
pose Jimmy was one Of them and had
gone back on the girl as usual.

HARD SCRABBLE.

ALPS quiet along the Potomac
this quietness will soon be disturbed
by the guns of our sports men in search
of wild ducks.
The rains have swollen the Potomac
considerably, but there is not much
danger of an overflow.
Thanksgiving day passed away
quietly with plenty of rain and snow
The usual custom of eating turkey on

The roads in our section are in a
terrible condition as they seem to
have no bottom.
One of our worthy young men Gre
ated quite sensation last week. He
took trip to Baltimore and brought
back with him, one who will share
with him the vexations and trials of
life; she was not native of Baltimore,
by the way. May prosperity and
happiness attend them. Thus, anoth-
err couple falls into matrimonial line,
and still there's more to follow.
The Shepherdstown Register con-
structs Mr.. Flick's action in the re-
count of his district as scheme, by
which to steal votes. Would it not be
far more wise for the Register to keep
mum" on this subject? Can any
honest Democrat look back over the
campaigns efhis party without feeling
remorse of conscience? The Presi-
dents Civil Service Policy meets not
the appreciation of our Democratic
aspirants to federal offices. Their
actions are sufficient TO prove that if
they had the President in their power,
they would reduce his abnormal pro-
portion without the aid of the massage
treatment.
A literary social club is being organ
lied in our vicinity to meet at the
houses of the members. Object, pleas
ure and intellectual improvement.
The Literary Grove Debating Socie-
ty was compelled to suspend its winter
exercises. Their inability to secure

prompted its suspension sine die.

While the scaffolding is upon the
