Mr.. Editor.-I will just say that the
concert at Unionville was. without ex-
ception, a grand success. and the sing
ing of the competing classes was grand
beyond exception. The Bethesda class
seems to have carried off the honors
on the second round with two Of the
Judges. But one of the judges, who
stands without peer in music both
instrumental and vocal, gave Union
vile two out Of the three pieces. And
to say the least, with what grace and
sweetness Miss Fannie Licklider rem
dered solo entitled Whisper Softly,
Mothers DYING held the audience
spellbound. VOX POPULI VoX DEL.

The Concert
The concert to be held in College
Hall on Friday and Saturday even
ings, February 18th and 10th, for the
benefit of the new town hall, prom
ises to be very interesting indeed.
The home singers and players will be
largely assisted by musicians from the
neighboring towns, and we think we
can safely promise some novelties in
music. Those who will take part in
the concert are now busy practicing
their parts.

Brown IS Crossing class was not present aud

music WAS beautifully rendered, and they de-
serve much credit for their proficiency. In
the contest of the 10Th, only the classes from
Molers and UYilla were present, ana though

such excellent singing and required such
competent Judges TO decide. one thing That
cannot be denied by the Judges IL The UVilla

side of the full choruses she sang duets anu
solos which from her knowledge OF music
and easy manner, were beautifully rendered.

Sale or hSIOfJC OTO0Ho'
Last Friday Henry c. Mumma sold
privately his farm OF one hunoreo
and twenty-five acres in Sharpsburg
district and twenty acres of mountain
land on Elk Ridge to R. d. Fisher, OF
Jefferson county, West Virginia, Tor
ten thousand and ninety-six dollars.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Mumma PAID
nine thousand, one hundred and nine
ty dollars for the same property.
At the time of the battle Of Antietam
one half of the Bloody Lane was in
cluded in the original tract of land
(of which the farm in question was
then a portion) owned by Mr.. Samuel
Mumma, Henry Mumma' father.
The bunker Church property also
formerly belonged TO the same tract
The farm just sold lies north OF the
Bloody Lane and is only separated
from the bunker Church property by
the Hagerstown and Sharpsburg
turnpike. Some of the most desper-
ate fighting of the battle occurred on
this land. 1t was crossed and re-
crossed by Summers and Franklin's
corps as the tide of battle advanced or
receded. Mr.. Samuel Mumma's house
and barn were destroyed by fire dur
ing the conflict, on the morning OF
the seventeenth of September; but a
new house and barn were erected on
the sites of the old building. To-day.
beyond occasional scars on old fences
and trees and bullets found here and
there. no traces of the bloody conflict
are visible anywhere about the place.

Working Up a Boom.

Working Up Boom.
The Charlestown Spirit says:
The Town Council, at special
meeting held last Friday, appropria-
ted one hundred and twenty dollars
to be invested in advertising the town
abroad. The plan. as presented by
several gentlemen now here, is to
write up the community, with all its
advantages, the b. Il o. Railroad CO.
operating, print the same in a very
large edition of local paper and have
it distributed broadcast throughout
the country, especially through all
sections, east and west, ramified by
the b. & O. and its various branches.
Following this, which will also be
done by several other prominent
towns on the Valley Branch, the rail
road will run special excursions into
the Valley from distant points on its
line, all of which, it is hoped and eX-
pected, will inure to the benefit of
both the town and the road, in loGat-
ing among us a desirable addition to
our population"
We don't think any town goes amiss
in investing reasonable sums OF money
in advertising its resources and adj
vantages. We should like to see old
Shepherdstown given boom in this
or some other way.

Park Pledges, a young fellow of
Holly Springs. Mo-, got into a novel
scrape recently, but he got out Of it
again very quickly. He was engaged
to marry two young ladies and had
arranged for the marriage ceremony
to take place in each case on the same
day, but finally realizing the predica-
ment he was in, and not knowing any
other way to get out of it, he went
into the woods, spread his overcoat
on the ground and deliberately shot
himself.

to the young mems meeting IN that build
ing. Having nothing particular to do, | went
in, and before / left / had accepted Christ
That man alone has since given to the Lords
work a great deal more than the building
cost. 1t pays to erect such buildings, finan
cially, TO say nothing Of conversions. Phila-
delphia should have five or six such build
ings."
TO THE VALUE OF A BUILDING.
The following are testimonies received
from Associations owning buildings:
our membership has increased in the ten
years we have had our building from 200 to
oOO, and that is about the ratio of increase
IN every branch of our work. The city
ltselt meanwhile has neither increased in
population (about 20, 000) nor in wealth."
Our young mems meetings are much i'm
proved, and there is greater interest in every
department. Lectures formerly a failure,
now a success. Attendance at the reading
room quadrupled. Formerly raised 5000 per
annum; now raise 81, 900"
Financially the building Is OF great value,
having lifted the Association out of obscur-
ity, dispelled doubts as 10 its permanency,
given II good commercial standing, made
raising of money easier, and secured the
active interest and Identification of a more
prominent class of business men,
I'm all religious work the growth has been
marked; for example, the average attendance
at the Sunday afternoon meeting six years
ago was iifiy-iye. 1t is now 400. Before
entering the building we were without
gymnasium, or evening classes, very little
social work was done, and the reading room
attendance was only about one-third as large
as now.'
Thus by owning n building the position Of
an Association in the eyes OF the community
in general is greatly raised, and young men
respect itand are proud of being It's members.
Memphis will fall in line at once.

DID IT ELECT HARRISON

The following appeared in n Minnesota
paper: Members Of the Democratic party
have been using all subterfuges TO account
for their overwhelming defeat aud numer-
Gus are the causes alleged.
II was talking with several OF the van
pushed on Fourth street the other day,
opposite a bill board, and one OF the party
exclaimed: III IL had not been for the
closeness of the National Committee i'm the
expenditure of money we would have elected
our man. The Republicans advertised their
man like a circus Several Of the party re.
marked that no advertising was done except
small announcements in the papers and a
few hangers on the lead walls.
Hangers said our informant. "What
do you call That but u circus p~oster?'' point
ing TO n twclye-sheet medicine poster on the
bill board, bearing the cuts Of Gen. Harrison
and his grandfather.
"lf the Democrats had advertised like
that, Cleveland would have been reelected
The poster referred 10 was one Of the ia
miliar black and white Log Cabin Sarsa-
parilla posters sent out by am enterprising
firm engaged In the manufacture of old log
cabin home cures, under the maine OF War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, and among other
equally valuable articles include the famous
Log Cabin S|arsaparilla, which is everywhere
recognizedas the best Of all spring medicines
ana stands without "a rival Tor the cure Of
all disorders which are the results Of impure
blood.
The spring time Of the year is the season
when the system needs renovation; the long
winter has caused thc blood 10 become filed
with impurities.
There exists no better means 10 aid and
strengthen the system at such an urgent
period than the use Of Warmers Log Cabin
S~arsaparilla, which speedily restores the
blood Ia a pure and healthy state, which in.
surcs bealth and happiness.
The reputation OF the firm putting out the
medicine is above rcproaCh, and Is the same
firm which manufactures Warmers Safe
Cure, the standard remedy for the cure Of
oil those diseases peculiar 10 the kidneys,
rs well n those which are the results OF
disease IN those orgunS and which has met
with such phenomenal success for the past
ten years.
We understand that the posters referred
20 made their appearance ia many parts Of
the country some time prior 10 the Chicago
Convention which nominated Gen Harrison
rs q candidate for the Neutrality-suspicious. the
use made Of the portraits Of the IIarrisons,

Of remarkable political foresight or In nc
