Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1888-12-15

A MARTINSBURG man with mar
riageable daughters has invested in
an Edison improved photograph,
which he secretes on the sofa. When
he turns the crank in the morning he
knows just how matters are progress
ing. Look under the sofa, girls.
A boat load of handkerchiefs re-
ceived by Emmert & Fiery for their
holiday trade. Come and see their
display. Don't be backward, but
walk right up and examine them for
yourselves. You will find the price
marked on each article, so you can
wait on yourself in case of rush.
On some Of the farms wire fences
wait for the guileless pedestrian.
Any man who has once got caught
in this treacherous wire and spent a
couple of hours trying with no sue
cess to extricate himself, thinks that
New Jersey tanglefoot is a safer
thing to get your feet twisted up in
than two dozen yards of loose fence
wire.
PEOPLE take it for granted that
auction goods are cheap and not
much good-as a general thing they
are not mistaken. Hyde, the Jewel
err, has the largest Holiday Stock be-
tween Baltimore and Wheeling. You
save money by dealing at a first
class store.

THE U. S. DISTRICT and Circuit
Court convened in the Court House
on Tuesday morning, Judge j. j.
Jackson, presiding. The new officers
acted their parts well. District At
torney Watts and Marshall Sehon
were also present. Mr.. U. S. Grant
Pitzer was admitted to practice in
these courts.
FROM w. L. Jones we learn that
his sales of gold watches for Christ
mas are far ahead of any former
years up to this time. We are glad
to see the increased demand for so
pretty and useful an article, and can
assure anyone who wishes to buy
that while they will not find Mr..
Jones loaded up with A, 6 or s karat
goods, that won't wear and hold
good color, they will find he has
splendid stock of first class goods at
very close figures.
NoTIcE.-There will be a business
meeting Of the Young Mems Demo
cratic club in their rooms next Tues

NJ. All members are earnestly re-

ALBERT MOORE, Sec'y.
| THE largest assortment of goods in
| the Watch, Jewelry or Silverware line,
ever brought to Martinsburg can be
found at w. l.. Jones' Jewelry Store,
he has made extensive preparations for
the coming season and will treat you
right, give him a call. His purchases
were all made for spot cash, and having
bought lower, he can sell lower than
any other dealer in town.
HISTORY OF THE LOWER SHENANDOAH
VALLEY.-The initial steps for the
publication of History of the Lower
Shenandoah Valley" are being taken
by Mr.. J. E. Norris, formerly editor
of the Hagerstown Iioice-A- Week.,
but now connected with the publish
ing house of A. Warner & Co., Chica-
go and Philadelphia. Mr.. Norris is a
Virginian by birth and sympathy and
writer of well-known merit, and
having worn the gray in the late
"unpleasantness," and being thor
oughly acquainted with the Valley, is
particularly fitted for the task he has
undertaken. The work will be ex-
pensive, covering all the early scenes
of the territory indicated, Berkeley
Jefferson, Frederick ard Clark coun.
ties, as we'll as the stirring events of
the late war, and will be strictly fair
and impartial.
From an inspection Of the stock of
gold and silver watches, jewelry,
silverware and novelties of w. L.,
Jones we would suppose everyone in
town could be suited, he reports ex-
cellent sales for 50 early in the sea-
son, and no wonder, he has splen-
did stock to select from, and we find
If surprising to see how many first
class goods can be bought for so lit
tie money.
