day last, near North Mountain break
ing his leg and receiving painful
bruises.
LAST Sundays Philadelphia Times
had a large circulation here, as many
persons were anxious to read the
prize story "A True Heroine" by
Miss Fanny Frazer. The story prov
ed well worthy of all the praises it
has received, and shows remarkable
talents in one so young. 1t is
graphic, we'll worded description Of
a heroic action by girl at one of the
watering places, and is told in a
simple, unaffected style that displays
very good taste in the authoress.

UNIQUE AND HANDsoME.-In one of
the windows at the Jewelry Store
of Mr.. w. l.. Jones is one Of the
most unique and we believe the hand
soonest water pitcher, waiter and
goblets that has ever been brought
to Martinsburg. We understand the
ladies are endeavoring to obtain it
| for the Odd Fellows Fair. In view
of the fact that our people often are
called upon to entertain large num-
| bers of visitors, such as members of
conferences and of beneficial orders,
Mr.. Jones has also purchased large
stock of table ware, such as knives,
| forks, spoons, &c. of excellent quail
ty both in solid silver and first class
plate, which for the kind and useful
ness of the articles, he has marked at
very low rates. In this line or in
watches and general jewelry and sill
yer ware, he always keeps large
and well selected stock.
The handsomest and best line of
ginghams in Martinsburg you will
find at Emmert & Fiery's one price
store. No trouble to show goods
and prices always guaranteed to be
the lowest.
REV. r. d. ROLLER has accepted
call to church in Charlestown, w.
Va, and at the meeting of the YES
try of Trinity Episcopal Church on
Thursday evening he handed in his
resignation of this charge and it was
accepted to take effect about April /.
BY this change Martinsburg loses one
of her most eloquent and successful
ministers. Mr.. Roller has been in
charge Of this parish for about nine
years and has been an untiring work
err, and has achieved excellent results
in every way. The present church
edifice was built through his exer-
tons, and the membership of Trinity
Church has been greatly increased
during his ministry. Mr.. Rollers
departure from our city will be re-
GREETED by all our citizens, and his
congregation will find it difficult to
I'll his place with one so universally
beliked. We wish him every success
in his new field and hope that he and
his family may find themselves pleas
antly situated.
