A Very Quiet Wedding.

The quiet folks of Shepherdstown
were taken by surprise on Wednesday
evening of this week when two of the
best known among their number stole
a march on them. Joseph 5. Dragon
Ter. Esq, attorney-at-law, and Miss
Rosalie Taylor Butler, daughter of
the late DR.. V. NJ. Butler and grand
daughter of the late Henry Berry,
Esq, quietly got on the o'clock train
and went to Charlestown, where Rev.
Dallas Tucker, of the Episcopal
Church, quickly made them man and
wife, the ceremony being performed
at the rectory. The bride and groom
returned to Shepherdstown on the
9 o'clock train. The secret of the
wedding had been extremely well
kept, as not soul knew of it until it
was over, except, of course, the imne-
date families of the bride and groom.
We echo the sentiments of many
friends here and elsewhere when we
wish the newly-married couple great
happiness.

November lSt, 1888.
Editor Register-It is seldom that
the writer intrudes upon the space in
your valuable columns, but with your
permission would like to state a few
facts which it would be we'll for our
colored friend to consider before he
casts his ballot on next Tuesday. y
few of the thing for him to think over
is whether he has ever received any
recognition at the hands of his white
Republican friends in the distribution
of political honors. Whether he re
members the fact of some Of the Re-
publican leaders in Washington start
ing n Freedman's Bank, getting all
the money the colored people could
raise, which they pocketed and let the
Bank burst, and they. the cOlOred
men, lost all the money that was put
in it, To remember which one he
would 20 to, "a Democrat or Il Repub-
lican, to get a job of work or a favor
in case he needed either one. Also to
remember that not single colored
man has been sent from any northern
State TO the halls of Congress. and
that there have been a great many
sent from the Democratic Southern
States to Congress and two to the Sen
ate 1t is also well for them 10 con-
trast their treatment by the people of
good old Democratic ShepherdstOwn
with the treatment by some of the
good old Republican towns across the
river. Would like TO say something
more on this subject. but will not in
trude further at present. 81.

MAJOR HENRY KYD DOUGLAS PASSES

MAJOR HENRY KYD DOUGLAS PASSES
THROUGH SHEPHERDSTOWN.
Saturday evening it was announced
that Maj. Douglas would at six o clock
pass through our quiet, unpretentious
little town on his way TO Sharpsburg,
Md, where he would deliver an ad-
dress In a few minutes our streets
were decorated with posters announc-
ing the coming of Maj. Douglas. Boys
were seen parading the streets with
banners aloft, crying, douglas will
be with us to-night.' BY the time the
shades of night settled down upon us,
our streets were alive with people
watching patiently for the arrival OF
that son of ShepherdstOwn, whom her
people hold dear Finally the signal
voice was heard far up the street,
Douglas. Douglas 1t was caught
from tongue TO tongue until the whole
street rang with wild hurrahs. BY the
time the coach carrying our noble son
reached Market Square the street was
so filled with people that it could not
pass and was compelled to stop. MAJ.
Douglas was met by committee,
headed by the President Of our Dem
ocratic Club, and escorted to the club
room, in which the Club was then in
session; and amid the clapping OF
hands, the wild hurrahs, the thunder
ings of feet upon the floor, and the
merry music of the COrnet Band, Maj.
Douglas drew his great coat and about
faced TO the audience. When the fiery
twinkle of those eyes fell upon the au-
dience all was silence. Maj. Douglas
said: My kind friends, my fellow cit
liens, | thank you for and appreciate
this token Of esteem. | have been
speaking every day this week in joint
discussion With my worthy opponent,
the Hon. Mr.. McComas, and shall in
half an hour speak in Sharpsburg

holy associations which clusteraround
the place of his boyhood days, took

rahs of the assembled multitude.

Vito Vas She /?

Who Was She
a few weeks ago a woman who
seemed to be fairly intelligent and
quite respectable, made her appear
ance at the home Of two brothers ell
gagged in farming near Scrabble. She
said she wanted to buy their farm.
They were willing to sell, but there
was a question rs to the price. She
finally made an offer that was accept
ed, and she was to throw in a new
suit of clothes for each of the men as
boot" She staid some days, and
when all the details were arranged
she left, saying she was going to Penn
sylvania to get the money. She did
not go to Pennsylvania, for she next
called on young farmer near Swan
Pond, and wanted to buy his farm.
The owner and the would-be purchas-
err didn't come to terms however, and
after staying awhile she left. and we
have since heard nothing of her. 1t
is now rumored that the person was a
man in woman's clothes, and there Is
considerable talk about the matter
Who she is and what her object was
is the question.
