The custom of Mr.. Gustav Brown of Civ
ing the editor of The FREE PRESS a fruit
cake and gallon of oysters for his Christ
mas dinner has become law unto him as
immutable as the laws Of the Modes and
Persians. His generous treatment of us is
but the out-cropping of kindly nature.
We wish our friend many years of health
and comfort, and abundant success in all
his enterprises.

Christmas Monday was a lively day in
Charlestown. The streets were thronged
and every individual fellow was enjoying
himself as was his beut-as be was inclined
and as some of them reclined. The colored
people were out in numbers. They fringed
the cu7bing and furbelowed the corners and
fllagreed space generally. The swan
poodlers' parade was grotesque feature
and excited no little amusement by their
maneuvers. Tin horns and Chinese crack
ers contributed muchly towards the general
confusion. Il was sort Of free day, and
there were no serious disturbances nor oe-
casion for arrests Several nights during
the holidays and since Masqueraders have
made calls at private houses, every partici-
pant carrying with him his prettiest look.
Il is astonishing how much fellow can
sometimes improve on the original by a
little fixing up But their facial arrange.
ments are somewhat in the way when they
are invited 70 take the cake"

Bold Young Lovers.

An exciting episode occurred few days
ago at the farmhouse of James NJ. Vanme-
ter. farmer, who lives near the dividing
line Of the counties of Jefferson and Berke-
lev counties, w. Va. 1t seems that Mr.. B
Myers, a son of Hamilton Myers, of Berke-
ley, for some time past has been paying his
addresses to the young daughter of Vanme-
ter, and they were to have been married
last Thursday The Sunday preceding
young Myers went as usual to see his sweet
heart Yanmeter met him at the gate say
ing.
Bud, 1 understand you want my daugh.
ter"
Myers replied that she was his hearts de-
sire. or words to that effect.
Vanmeter drew a pistol and in an angry
tone said: "You can't have her, and if you
ever come on my place again / will kill
you" Vanmeter then went into his house
and drawing his pistol told his daughter
that if she married Myers he would shoot
her, and to Brighten her he fired the pistol
over her head The young lady, nothing
daunted by the threats of her father said !:
no matter what you do, father, | intend
to marry him
A few days after this occurrence Vanme-
ter and Hamilton Myers, the father Of Bud
Myers met in the road, near Martinsburg,
aud an alteration occurred between them,
Vanmeter firing upon Myers, but missing
him. What this affair may end in IS hard
to tell.-HaqTs'opa Globe

The Presbyterian Sunday School was en-
tertained at Chas Washington Hall on Fri
day night, 3Oth. Upon the stage were two
large Christmas trees most abundantly
freighted with fruit There was singing of
carols by the school accompanied by the
organ and cornet, Miss Ella Fouke and Mr..
L. X. Dinkle performing. An infant class
numbering about sixty little tots was under
the especial charge of Mrs. Albert Diehl.
The singing and recitations of the little
ones was appreciated by those who could
see and hear. Some in the rear of the hall
were deprived of the pleasure by reason of
some persons in front of them who were
provided with chairs, and not knowing what
they were for, persisting in standing up
all the time The hall was crowded. The
interest in the entertainment eliminated in
the appearance of old Santa Claus and his
distribution of the hamper baskets full of
good things. He kept on giving until they
were Cleon gone and yet the little ones, like
Oliver Twist, cried for Moore.
