published Of the high character of the

further assurance that at no distant dsy
the pig tin pSpduct will be sufficient for
all wants Of this country to make her

Of a steady and increasing supply at an

that these first difficulties are

Golden Weddinq.

OOfGcH beOGHY.
1t is not very often that golden wed
dings occur in the lifetime of any mar
ried couple, and we believe we have
never heard Of anybody celebrating
more than one of them. But Mr.. and
Mrs. John Davis, two well-known
Shepherdstown persons, celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of their we'd
ding at their home in this place last
Thursday evening. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis are still hale and hearty,
and enjoyed their celebration as much
as any one They had sent out nu
merous invitations. and nearly all
who were invited accepted. Conse-
uuently their home was thronged with
friends and well wishers, who not only
congratulated them on the happy
event, but brought presents of almost
every sort as reminders of the occa
sion. There was considerable sum
of money in gold, and also many other
articles very acceptable to Mr.. and
Mrs Davis, including provisions, wear
ing apparel, ornaments, etc. The
guests were served with coffee and
cake, and all enjoyed the evening very
much. Mr.. and Mrs. Davis are so
much pleased with their reception,
and feel so well and youthful, that we
understand they intend 10 make an eff
fort to remain here long enough TO OBJ
serve their diamond wedding, twenty
five years ahead We hope they may
be successful-or at least have all the
comforts of life as long as they do live.

NOTES.

The bronze figures for the handsom-
est lady on the grounds were awarded,
of course, to Mrs. \. S. Reynolds, the
accomplished wife of the popular pres
ident of the association. The oil paint
ing for the ugliest lady was awarded
lowell, we guess We won't say TO
whom it was given. Young Mr.. Ben.
Hoffman got the penknife for the ug-
lest man, but we understand that he
met u still uglier man and gave it
away. Judge Rogers, they say, was
afraid to come to the show for fear
he'd get the knife.
The exhibit of Mr. Henry Shepherd 5
thoroughbred Jersey cattle was the
finest on the grounds. Tastefully ar
ranged in a semi-circle, the animals
formed picture that was admired by
all who saw it. Prince of Oxford, the
bull, was the finest specimen, we can
confidently say, ever seen in this sec
ton; he is three years old and weighs
1,60O pounds. The colored band dis
coursed good music from stand near
Mr. Shepherds pavilion.
The editor and his family were kind
ly taken in out of the wet" last Fri
day by Mr.. and Mrs. s. A. Moffett,
who had a tent on the grounds, Mr..
Moffett being agent for the great az
ricultural implement firm of p. p.
Mast & Co. Mr.. Moffett showed fine
line of implements, and is as clever a
gentleman as his wife is a handsome
and accomplished lady.
The exhibit of chickens by A. Shep-
herd, of this place, and J. T. Cunning,
of Harper's Ferry, was splendid
one. The light brahmas of Mr.. Gun
ming were the finest fowls we have ever
seen.

Leg Broken.

There was one unfortunate occur
renee during the Democratic demon
stration on Saturday night. Mr.. j.
Hite Marshall, of Bunker Hill, got
into an alteration with policeman
John Poisal, who either knocked or
threw him down and in falling Mr.
Marshall got his leg broken. By
ISLANDERS stated that Poisal used his
club after Marshall was down. The
affair should be the subject of rigid
investigation by the Council and if
the circumstances are as reported the
policeman ought to be punished, as
there should never be any needless
severity allowed by an officer. Mr.
Marshall is a very quiet gentleman
and it is hardly credible that he would
have given cause for the treatment
received. -NdrtinsbWg Statesman.
