Shepherdstown Register.

ShepherdstOwn Register.
Thomas Deyonshire, colored PEN
sioner, of Shepherdstown, was last
week granted an increase of pension.
Last Friday night thieves visited
Mr.. William Buffers place on Sandy
Ridge and stole forty-odd chickens.
A Martinsburg youth thought he
ought to try some of his girls cook
ing before marriage. He ate din
ner which she prepared with her own
hands and hasn't been to see her since.
He ate like Shepherdstown h
and she told him to skip to a Chicago
pork packing PEN.
Too MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE
Mr.. Bemiss from Chicago must be a
gentleman of extensive business. We
noted last week that he proposed to
establish furniture manufactory at
Charlestown. We notice by our ex-
changes that he is also negotiating for
wooden factory at Martrnsbure and
knitting factory at Keyser. We
hope all these enterprises may become
prosperous and permanent.

Suddenly, in Harper's Ferry, Dec.
II, 1889, Mr.. James Shipe, aged about
AZ years.
What slaughter there has been Of
Jefferson and Berkeley Democrats
since the 4th Of March! Holmes,
Schoppert, Urton, Loman, Criswell,
Robinson, Weddell and host Of 9th
ers have bitten the dust without q
word of protest from the Kenna
Faulkner Senatorial combination, and
about the only one left is "Gas" Cross,
of Harper's Ferry, who has always
been n Henry G.. Davis man. When
some of the Jefferson Republicans
made brake for the scalp of Mr..
Cross they were met more than half
way by Henry G., who plainly told
them "thas far and no farther" and
+" Gas " still remains drawing salary
from Uncle Sam. He is a man of great
and never showed this
quality more plainly than when he did
all he could to elect Davis Senator.
Verify, he deserves his reward, and
long may he enjoy il. Some of the
ardent Kenna men are still waiting
their reward for the part they took in
the same fight, and long will they
wait-or at least till the nextSenator-
ial fight, when promises again will be
as plentiful as flowers in May.
