Chief Mayes and his abettors still act
upon the assumption that the claim of
the Cherokees to the strip OF land bear
ing their name amounts to fee simple
title. This comes of the generosity of
the government in trying to satisfy them
and leave no grounds for complaint at
opening the lands for settlement by the
whites. There is plain and easy way
out of the difficulty for the government,
as indicted in yesterdays dispatches
from Tahlequah, and one involving no
violation of the letter or spirit Of exist
ing treaties, and there is no sort of doubt
that the government will pursue that
course without delay. Mayes temporiz-
ing policy is likely to cost his people
$4,000. 900 in cold cash, but if it does
they Will have only the bull headed old
buffer to blame for it.

THAT PICNIC.


On Easter Monday a gay party Of
four young folks left Shepherdstown,
not for Pixies Peak or the Niagara
Falls, but for the battlefield of Antie-
tam and the National Cemetery at
Sharpsburg. At the signal of the
lunch basket they started upon their
journey and about fl o'clock they
were nearing Antietam Station on the
). Y. Il. Il. and some one was unkind
enough 10 sing The Girl | Left Be
hind Me-" when the most gallant Of
the crowd refused TO advance farther;
and there he left the crowd TO search
for the girl he left behind him. Then
some one trying to cheer his bleeding
heart and win him back began some
thing like the following:
Now let MS to old Sharpsburg HE.
Where trees their Verdure wrap,
For spring no longer fingers
In old bury winters lap.
But he would not go. In fact, it re-
minds one so much of the boy who
stood on the burning deck. And, at
the time of this writing if he hast left
he is there yet. NJ.

Work VII Soon RenLn.

Work WI Soon Begin.
Work will soon begin on the new
town hall in Shepherdstown. Plans
are now being drawn for the building,
and as soon DIS they are completed the
contract for the construction OF the
foundation will be let. 4 Building
Committee, composed of Messrs. w.
\. Lemen. q. T. Licklider and II. l..
SNYDER. has been appointed to act for
the Ladies' Association. 1t is pro-
posed to have the work on the foun-
dation well advanced by Confederate
Decoration Day, when the corner
stone will be publicly laid with appro-
pirate ceremonies. On this day the
ladies will also have dinner and a
strawberry festival, by which means
it is hoped to rasie more money. Some
orator of reputation will be present
and deliver a speech, and every effort
will be made to make the occasion
memorable one.
The ladies will wait upon the pub
lie this week with subscription book
for the purpose of enrolling the names
of subscribers to the fund for the
building. Surely there is no need for
us TO speak of the urgency of liberal
subscriptions to such a good cause.
The entire community is interested in
this matter and the entire comnuni-
ty should give liberal aid, so that the
building erected may not only fill the
wants of the town but be all orna-
ment to the place.

Two Fellows Who 0uaht 10 be in Jail

Last Sunday while Mr.. Charles NJ.
Folk and his wife, who live a couple
of miles west of town, were at church
their hou> was broken into by thieves.
Two suits of clothes were stolen from
Mr.. Folk, but the robbers wanted
money more than anything else. They
made desperate hunt for cash, tear
ing the beds to pieces and rummag-
ing in every hole and corner. The,
were not successful, however, for Mr.
Folk did not leave his money laying
around loose. 1t is supposed that
two tramps who have been hanging
around that neighborhood ever since
last fall are the guilty parties. Two
men, who are thought TO be the same
fellows, recently made an attempt to
break into Mrs Hattie Hills house at
night, but fortunately she succeeded
in obtaining help and the rascals ran
away. The people of that neighbor-
hood think the tramps ought TO be
jailed.

ney had been in the employ of the

It's no use talking, if you want good
sport in fishing you ought to visit
Shepherdstown. Mr.. VIII keplinger,
who has been visiting his parents near
here, caught twenty-four fine bass last
Saturday at Dam No. 4. 1t is said to
have been one of the finest strings
ever captured there. the fish being
nearly all of one size. 1t is reported
though we don't vouch for it-that
Mr.. George Winebrenner caught five
bass below town last week that
weighed 35 pounds. If this is true it
beats the record. Great numbers of
suckers and stone rollers have been
caught in nets this week at the Ce-
ment Mill.
