A VALUABLE WORK.
A History Of Martinsburg and Berkeley
County, w. Va.


Mr.. +. Vernon Aler, we'll known
resident of Martinsburg, w. Va, has
in course of publication by Messrs.
w. t. Delaplaine Il Co., work that
will prove of great value to the peo-
pie of West Virginia generally and
to the residents of Martinsburg in
particular. 1t consists of history
fredericksburg and Berkeley county
w, Va, from the origin of the Indi-
an, embracing accounts of their set
Elements, wars and depredations, to
the first white settlement of the val
ley. The work also includes an ac-
count of the wars between the set
tiers and their rude manner Of living,
in addition to which the author, in
an interesting narrative style, gives
a variety of valuable information,
consisting of the past and present
history of the county, complete
sketch of the late war, strikes, early
residents, organizations, personal
sketches and interesting facts of the
present day.
The subject is a very wide one and
in the treatment of it Mr. Aler has
brought into use much valuable and
reliable data. As book of refer
ence its value cannot be fully estima-
ted and as narrative it cannot fail
to entertain all who wish to know of
the past history of the regions Of
West Virginia that have figured
prominently in the formation of that
State, as we'll as the facts leading up
to its present condition and prosper
ity. The book is well written, neat
ly printed and bound and will be
sold by subscription. It's frontispiece
consists of picture of the court
house at Martinsburg and through
out the work will be found matters
OF sufficient interest to commend the
book to all. 1t is not likely that its
sale will be confined solely to West
Virginia, for it is seldom that work
of the kind appeals with such force
to the feelings Of those interested in
the history of all sections of the
country The portions of the book
containing accounts of the early set
Element Of Berkeley county, the in
cidents of the war transporting there
and finally the description of the
growth of that section and the bio
graphical sketches of its prominent
men will be read with unusual inter-
est. 1t is work which no resident
of West Virginia, and especially of
Berkeley county, should be without.

Capt. John II. Weddle, who had
undertaken to canvass this book, has
been compelled to give it up on ac-
count OF other matters. Hereafter
Mr.. j. f. Roberts will canvass Mar
tinsburg, as the only authorized
agent for the city. Mr.. Roberts is
an energetic and pushing gentleman,
and deserves the encouragement Of
the general public.

viously examined on photography,

THE Martinsburg Base Ball Nine
defeated the G. b. Rouss Club of
Winchester in fine style last Satur-
day afternoon. The game was well
played on both sides but the home
nine proved themselves the stronger
in both batting and fielding. In the
first inning the Martinsburg's became
ratified and made some very wild
plays letting ii five runs. After the
first, however, they played an almost
perfect game in the field and did
good work at the bat. Young's de-
livery seemed to puzzle the Winches-
tiers and they made but few hits be.
ing shut out six innings. They have
good material on their nine but are
not as quick in the field nor do they
play together as well as the Martins
burgs. The features of the game
was excellent playing of the battery
Pitzer and Young who also led in
the run-getting. Timmons, Cage
and Bowers on the bases and Mid
dlecamp at short did well. The bat
ting of the visitors was so light that
the flelders had little to do. Stone,
Mccormick, Colvin and Rowe did
the most brilliant playing on the
Winchesters, McCormick's catching
being very fine. The attendance
was large a number of ladies were
present and all were pleased with the
game. Following is the score by in
nings:
Winchester, 5 0 o 100 l OF
