For THE HERALD.

TAFFY ALL ARoJND.-The young
folks of Shepherdstown have been
having some gay time lately in the way
of taffy-boiling. Saturday night they
met with several of their country
friends at a residence near Billmyer's
mill, and there held the largest taffy-
boiling of the season. Quite Il num-
Der of the young folks were present,
and few who acre not yoatng, as they
have long ago entered the list Of
Bachelors and Old Maids. The young
men who owned buggies, took their
"best" girls to the taffy-boiling, but
most of the folks got there the best
the way they could. Long before
dark they could be seen crossing
fields to the party" Everything
taffy, which was of several kinds,
proved quite a success. All had hand
in the making and pulling of the tatfy
but we all enjoyed it. One of the old
bachelors was rather unfortunate with
the taffy he undertook to pull, for
when finished no one could tell the
exact color or what it had been made
of. Refreshments were served, which
consisted of severed different kinds Of
cake and Will Turner" served with
cream. The cake disappeared rapid
ly, but no one seemed to care much
for "Will Turner served with cream"
AS the clock struck twelve and Sun
day was approaching the party broke
up and the boys began to talk about
going home, but the timid girls and
one old maid refused to drive with
the boys after night, so they stayed all
night and the boys had to go after
them the next day, in the afteroon.
Thus ended our third taffy boiling.

For a number of years the people of
our neighborhood have been content
with the school house as place to
meet, to have religious services. Dur.
ing the past year we have had preach
ing in said building by the Episcopal,
Baptist, and Presbyterian ministers
respectively. The meetings at all
times been well attended, and oft
times many could not get in. Those
who do get in are compelled to sit
in seats intended for children, which
is very unpleasant. On account of
these Inconvenience many have re-
manned at home, who otherwise would
have attended. The Y. NJ. G. A. on
account of no suitable place, have
services mile distant from the vile.
So you will see that church is very
much needed. While it is true, there
is no denomination in the neighbor-

yet ifthe different ones would join
they could build one very easily. We

this subject some thought. They have
called meeting at the school house
for April 18th at II p. M, to discuss
and if possible make arrangements for
the erection of a church at this place.
All interested are invited to meet at
the above date and hour.

Who is your Best Friend.

Your stomach of course. Why Be-
cause if it is out of order you are one of
the most miserable creatures living.
Give it a fair, honorable chance and see
if it is not the best friend you have in

Don't drink in the morning. If you
must smoke and drink wait until your
stomach is through with breakfast.
You can drink more and smoke more in
the evening and it will tell on you less.
If your food ferments and does not di-
gest right,-if you are troubled with
Heartburn, Dizziness of tire head, COM

the stomach, you had best use Green S
