THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
-Inasmuch as the election for Coun-
ty Superintendent of Free Schools is
drawing near at hand, a few words to
the voters of Berkeley County may
not be out of place. / do not wish to
be understood as saying aught against
any candidate for the position refer
red to. superintendent Dodd's COM
petitor, / have no doubt, is fully COM
petent to fill the position to which his
friends wish to elevate him; but L
think 1t very bad policy to retire a
good school officer, even though his
place be filled by one equally as good.
School teachers and school officers, in
my opinion, should be kept in their
respective positions just as long as
possible, and should never be remov-
ed so long as they faithfully discharge
the duties intrusted to their care. Mr..
Dodd has instituted a series of reform
in our school work which bids fair to
place Jour county schools on a par
with the best schools in the State. Let
us lay aside whatever prejudice we
may entertain, and with an eye single
to the good of our schools, lend a
helping hand to re-elect Mr.. ID. H.
Dodd to the position which be has,
thus far, so admirably filled. X.

My heart was beating like fail,
And yet my lips were dumb.
The clock that hung upon nail
licked louder than a drum.
I could not see, for. strange to tell,
The air seemed full of smoke,
Then from my tongue the letters fell,
And then-and then / spoke.
II love you, dear. /" said in haste;
II love you, too. she said,
And then clasped her dainty waist
And kissed her lips of red.
Then came a food Of poetry,
spouted yards of rhyme,
And she is going to marry me
In apple blossom time.

A hog that weighed between eight
hundred and nine hundred pounds
passed through Shepherdstown on the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad last SUM-
day on its way from Knoxville TO
Baltimore. But it did not reach its
destination, having died on the cars
near Hagerstown from exhaustion.
The fifteen mile strip ofrailroad be-
tween Blue Ridge Summit and Get
tysburg, Pa, known as the Baltimore
and Harrisburg Western extension of
the Western Maryland Railroad, is
rapidly nearing completion. 1t may
be safely asserted that regular trains
will be running by the 10th of May.
The Register was in error last week
In stating that Mrs. Mary Ellen Lick
lider had been buried in Elmwood
Cemetery. The remains were inter
red by the side of her husband in the
Lutheran graveyard.
RUNAWAY AND MARRIAGE
James Y. Menefee, of Luray, Va, Sc
cured marriage license in this city
on April 30th, with the intention of
being married the next day. Miss
Minnie I. Beyler, of the same place,
was the intended bride. Preparations
were complete for hasty departure
for this city, but reluctant father I'M
expectedly made his appearance and
put sad ending to the scene. But
Cupid's fire cannot be extinguished
even by an interfering 'pater," and
the 1890 train on the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad brought the same
couple to this city last night. and they
were successfully married at the Beel-
er House by Rev. H. S. France, ofthe
Methodist Church, this city. The
couple returned to their homes at 7:45
this morning. Miss Beyler is tall,
fine-looking lady, and the general at
tractiveness of her demeanor was aug
mented by profusion of colors, only
known to the rainbow, which bedeck-
ed her person. Mr.. Menefee is a short
thickset gentleman of determined
look, and, as proven, fine executive
ability.
