Good investments.

The original investors in Bell Tele-
phone stock are considered fortunate be-
cause the value of it has increased ten
fold. 1t was, no doubt, very pleasant
surprise to them, but they could not ex-
press their satisfaction in more earnest
words than do the purchasers of Plain
Home Talk and Medical Common Sense, !"
hundreds of whom write that it is worth
from ten to 100 times its cost. An
editor writes 1t contains more of
value than any book on my shelves" A
physician writes . 1t is without doubt
the best and most Interesting book ever
consulted. Here is chance to invest
81 80 for something that you will find
will rise in value, and be worth many
times its cost. 1t is especially interest
ing to those just married or about to be,
and TO persons who enjoy poor health. !"

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD SATURDAY.. JUNE s., 1,
A DAYS WORK OF POMONA

EDITORS HERALD.-Knowin that
your paper is always willing to pub
llsh anything of interest to the Farm
ers OF the County, a resume of a days
work Of Berkeley County Pomona
Grange may be of interest to some of
your Grange readers at least. The
Grange met at the Hall of Swan
Pond Grange Tour youngest sister, J
who bids fair to surpass US all called
to order by our worthy master, E. S.
Tabler, who presided with his usual
grace and dignity. The address of
welcome by our young Brother e. s..
Vanmetre, was very creditable one.
The response by that staunch old Pat
ron, Geo. o. Sperow, was one long to
be remembered. The next business
was the reception of the applications
OF 80 Changers who desired instruc-
tons in the higher mysteries of our
order.
The Grange then took recess for
dinner, which was served by the sis.
tiers of Swan Pond Grange, who fully
proved that they we'll knew how to
provide for the wants of the hungry
Granger, for the tables fairly groaned
under their load of substantials and
delicacies. Justice being done to the
viands, we were called from rest to
labor, in the harvest field of progress,
and class of 35 Brothers and Sisters
were admitted to the degree of Pomo-
ma. The address of the day was then
delivered by our talented Young
Brother, Fl. NJ. Turner, WHO took for
his theme what class has done the
most for our land. and we'll he hand
led his subject. Ten years ago such a
meeting could not have been held in
this county without having to import
speakers, now every Grange has its
fall quota of them. The overseer
was then called on who spoke briefly
on Pomona Oranges work, and the
need of educating the agricultural
classes up to defending their rights.
The turnout of members from the
different Oranges in spite of the
gloomy morning showed how strong
a hold the order has on the affections
of all belonging to it. Cherry Grove
as usual led the van of visitors; the
Sisters of that Grange are always to
the front in every good work. Tusca.
rora was ably represented. But Swan
Pond came en- maSse.
The next meeting of Pomona will
be held at Cherry Grove, on the last
Saturday in July to which all fourth
Degree members in the county are in
vited to come and join us In our at
tempt to liftup and ennoble the down.
trodden Agriculturist I; to place him
in position to enjoy at least some of
the fruits of his labor. Every farmer
is interested in this great movement,
and should come to our aid, by join
ing the nearest Grange to his home.
May we have many such meetings as
the one on the Goth. OCCASIONAL.
The address of Mr.. Turner will be
printed in full in The HERALD of
next week if possible.

He came in due time, and found sup

ped in ahead of the husband Vim

MARROW EsCAPE.-Miss Clara, the
l3-year.old daughter of w. o. Towns,
made narrow escape from serious or
fatal injury on Thursday evening Of
last week. While walking along
Kent St., near the Gas house, she re-
ceived a bullet wound just above the
right ankle. The cause of the acct
dent was the careless use of firearms
by boys old enough to know better.
The usual way of ending such an item
would be: "This should be warn
ing to other boys against the reckless
use of firearms" but as such warn
ings 90 unheeded, we will admonish
the travelling public to be on their
guard in passing points on the street
where inexperienced young men are
shooting at mark. And if the prac-
tice is allowed to continue, it would
be well to have some warning notices
posted after the fashion at railroad
crossings. Instead of Look out for
locomotives. it might read: " Look
out for stray balls !" .
THE CORPORATION ELECTION
May 18th, passed off quietly. \ sue
cessful effort was made to bring out a
large vote. Free buggies were run
and we are sorry to say free drinks
were also set up at some places. Not
withstanding there were only two
straight tickets in the field Except
Ing the Republicans had no candidate
for Commemorative Attorney and IL.
II. Moore had tickets printed with his
name in opposition to Mr.. Alexan-
der,) there was considerable scratch
ing done. The Democrats elected the
Mayor, w. M. Atkinson City Con-
stable, all four of the Ward Justices,
and 3 of the Councilmen. The Re-
publicans don't owe their defeat SO
much to the Democratic voters as to a
few Mugwumps and disaffection in
our own ranks. The new Council
now stands Republicans and 8 Dem.
ocrats. The whole number of votes
cast was 900. Last year the number
was 705.
