News From a Former Citizen.

The Mt Morris (Ill.) Index OF a re-
cent date contained the following no
tice of an old native OF Shepherds
town: Last Monday was uncle
George Foulk's birthday, he being
eighty-six years Of age. Heis making
his home with his daughter, Mrs. II.
j. Farwell, who lives about "a mile
south of this place, and he walks TO
town and back home nearly every
day. But this is noting compared
TO what we are about TO tell. Mr.
Fouke came to Mt Morris in the year
1916, and made the first pair OF boots
ever made in this place, making them
for VIM. Watts, over forty-four years
ago, and this week he is making a
pair of boots for the same person,
which, no doubt will be the last pair
of boots he will ever make. There Is
no use of saying that uncle George
Foulk is a frst-class shoemaker, for
all who know him can testify TO his
fine work"

A Great Snow.

A Great Snow.
The REGISTER didn't say much
about the weather last week, for IN
this vicinity it was not much out OF
the usual order But as the returns
come in the fact is developed that
there was q very queer storm over
West Virginia, Maryland and Vir-
ginia. At Shepherdstown on Tues
day evening about an inch of snow
fell. and then a strong northeast
wind brought the rain alongfn sheets
continuing until Wednesday night.
No damage was done in this locality,
but over in Washington and Freder-
lex counties trees were uprooted and
some buildings blown down. But the
queerest thing was the way it showed.
Down at Roanoke, Mr.. s. ID. Barn
hart informs us, the snow was 80
inches deep on a level. 1t smashed
In the iron roof Of the big brick
blacksmith shop Of the car-works,
killing one man and injuring mum
Der of others. Houses that had not
been built substa ntially collapsed
under the great weight of snow. Mr..
Barnhart says on Thursday there
were few people on the streets-near-
" everybody was on their roofs
shoveling the snow of. 1t was
strange sight for southern town.
Another strange feature was that
while in this county there was less
than an inch of snow, right over the
line in Berkeley there was lots OF Is.
The Independent say. that ar Martins
burg they had the biggest snow OF
the past three years, and that IT was
eight inches deep. We were told by
Mr.. James +. Jones that there was
also big snowfall in Clarke county,
and the sleighs were running merrily.
DIR. McCleary wrote us from Tucker
county, this State, saying the snow
was nearly three teet deep and still
coming down. Reports from Staun-
ton, Harrisonburg and other points
in the Valley say that the snow was
the greatest for many years.
or course the railroads were
blocked completely. On the 5. V.
some OF the passenger trains were
annulied while the freights on the
! Roanoke division were completely
stalled. Up at Mt. Savage, on the b.
& o.. train had TO be dug out Of
the snow drifts after the passengers
had been imprisoned for hours.
Strange to say. the most Of the trou-
BILE was on the southern roads, as
very little snow fell north Of the Po-
! tomac.

About Sale Bills.

The public sale season is upon us,
and this is the time to advertise. we
want 10 call the attention Of the
farmers to the fact that the REGISTER
Office turns out the handsomest and
most attractive sale bills In this sec
ton. The reason why is because
we've got the presses, we've got the
type, and we've got the right sort OF
workmen. 1t pays to put out an at
tractive bill. If farmer posts up a
smeary, badly printed, awkwardly ar
ranged sale bill, it will certainly fail
to attract the same attention that
neat. clear, legible one will do. a
bill that will show every type clean
and correct is a good advertisement.
A bill that looks rs though 1t were
printed with apple butter is poor
advertisement. The standing orders
in this office are to be az careful with
the printing of a sale bill as with the
finest book work. We invite com
parison OF our work with that OF any
other office in the State. Our prices
are just as low as we can make then
and at the same time do good work
We acknowledge We can't compete IL
price with the apple-butter printers
If YOU intend to have sale, give us @
call, anyhow.

BAYLOR Simmons.

DuIIV -O'""O"S'
Wednesday evening Of last week at
o'clock the Episcopal church in
Charlestown was blaze Of light, and
a garden of plants and flowers. The
church was eXquisitely decorated, the
soft notes of the organ sounded
through the edifce. Outside the
storm ragged and the rain fe'l. Then
the Rev. Dallas Tucker came forward
to the rail, the organ broke into the
swelling notes Of the wedding march,
and the couple, Miss Mary Neill Sim
mons, and Capt. Chas. f Baylor, came
up the aisle. The bride was dressed
in pearl grey travelling dress and
carried flowers, and the groom i'll a
cut away and light trousers. The
brides attendant, Miss Aisquith, Of
Charlestown, followed with Mr.. Bate
man, the best man, Of Dorchester
county, Maryland. The beautiful
and impressive ceremony OF the Epls-
copal church was then read by the
Rev Mr.. Tucker, and the bride was
given away 10y her father, DIR. j. Yer
non Simmons. After the wedding an
elaborate reception was rendered the
bridal couple at the house Of the
brides father and mother, and a
large number OF invited guests were
present. Mr. and Mrs. Baylor left on

A Daring Burglary Fooled.

On Tuesday night there was another
daring burglary in Shepherdstown, al
though the thieves failed to get away
with their booty The clothing store
of Messrs. s. p. Humrickhouse & Son,
in the Be tzhoover building, was the
scene of operations. Two persons,
at least, were concerned III it. AT
first hole was bored in the front
door, but that didn't let them in, so
they went around 10 the back win
dow. opened the shutter, broke out a
glass, removed tie catch and so got
in. Then they made up four big
bundles of clothing, overcoats, etc,
and laid them in the narrow alley
way adjoining. They We're coming
out of the window probably for the
last time when Mr.. Beltzhoover dis
covered their presence He had only
time to get one hurried shot at the
two men he saw when they ran away
as fast as they could go. They didn't
take time 10 carry on tnelr bundles.
Mr.. Beltzhoover aroused some Of the
neighbors and sent for Mr.. Humrick
house, and the store was Strengthened
up again. The two thieves were not
recognized The boldness OF the at
tempt may be shown by the fact that
the moon was shining most brilliant
" at the time-about , o clock max
ing the streets almost as light a. day.
Messrs. Humrickhouse say that about
fourteen dollars worth OF ueckwear
and handkerchiefs were taken-prob-
ably had been stuffed in the pockets
of the thieves. This Is the second
time the same store has been broken

Alarm Of Fire.


Tuesday night about s o'clock,
while the wind was blowing a hurri-

down the spines of the women folks
in Shepherdstown and sent the men
to the engine-house on jump. The
chimney OF Mr.. James NJ. Myers $
house was atire, and it was aiire right,
too. The blaze and sparks poured
forth and the wind carried the sparks
all over the neighborhood. 1t looked
mighty dangerous for awhile, but
soon burned out, and the engine was
not put to work.
But it was bad night for burning
out ohimneys.
