The week for the horrid eXamina-
tons of the winter term has passed.
All of the pupils are happy because
the dreaded time is over.

March 18th. BY the looks of the

lieve it was the beginning of the win
ter term. a number of pupils are ex-
pected next week to spend the spring
term with us.
The Parthenian Society will have
election of officers Friday evening, it
being the first meeting of this term.
The meetings of the Gle aronian

they were so ate in adjourning.

March nth, 1890.

hoiOh ltth, AOsV.
Mr. EDIToR-It was our good
pleasure on last Saturday evening,
after long drive of about twenty
five miles over roads hat seemed all
solutely opposed TO our travelling at
all, to attend Prot Renner's concert
at Marvin Chapel. We arrived too
late to hear the opening piece, which.
we are informed, was one of the best
selections, but when We had "thawed
out" we were ushered to a front seat
and settled down to a perfect enjoy
ment of the greater part of the pro-
gram. The rendition ofthe selections
seemed TO have been entered into
with spirit on the part of the pupils
and the good time and perfect har-
mony that was maintained through
out showed superior training on the
part Of Professor Renner. We con-
graduate him upon his success. But
what we enjoyed the most was solo,
Sing, Sweet Bird" sung by Miss
Mamie Phillips, the organist of the
occasion. No doubt the writer of
that piece OF music intended its title,
but we do not think il unbecoming
to one who does not intend TO flatter
to say that the title, Sing, Sweet
Bird, came to her as a command
The expression she gave it added to
its melody and proved to us that
music is a fit companion of the soul
In her other selection, The Song
that Reached my Heart deeper
sentiment was stirred, and when her
voice chorded with the notes Of Home,
Sweet Home We could but remem-
Der the lonely hours of Jno. Howard
Payne and think how the song of his
soul chords with the sentiment of every
heart. If we had the space and time
we would like TO refer TO other selec-
tions,, but it is sufficient TO say that
all deserve the appreciation OF those
present. The only selection that
met our disapproval was duet by
Prof. Renner and Miss Nellie Cost.
entitled The Bill of Fare" Not that
it was not rendered well did We disap-
prove of it, but because il was
very forcible reminder that we had
had nothing TO eat since noon, and
while its superior rendition excited
our appreciation, in a musical sense,
its words excited a deeper feeling and
We lOnged for its reality. Being
thrown upon the charity of the good
people of the vicinity, we accepted an
invitation TO spend the night with
Mr.. Jno. Lemen, and were, after an
other battle with our former foe, the
county roads, soon ushered into the !
genial hospitality of Mr. Lemens
home, where, when We had partaken
OF midnight repast, we enjoyed a |
good rest in slumber. We can never |
be too grateful for his kindness. and |
will always remember with pleasure |
our short visit among the good people
Of that neighborhood.

Concert at Marvin Chapel.

Concert at Marvin Chapel
The concert held by Prof. Renner' S
music classes at Marvin Chapel last
Saturday night was successful and
interesting entertainment. The au-
dience filled the church comfortably,
but the fearful condition of the roads
prevented many from coming The
scholars were well drilled, and showed
the result of careful and intelligent
instruction. ''Renner's Quartette, y"
composed Of Miss Mamie Phillips, of
Berryville, soprano, Mrs. Rosa Ret
ner, alto, Prof. Renner, bass, and Mr..
w. r. Knott, tenor, rendered some
beautiful music, and were heartily
applauded Miss Phillips was the or
ganist, and her skill and grace at the
instrument was unexceptionable.
She also sang several selections with
such charming effect as to bring down
the house. Among the others who
deserve special mention were Miss
Nellie Cost, Miss Estella Jones, Misses
Lee and Irene Miller, Miss Sallie Hol-
Ida, Miss Liza Billmyer, Miss Belle
McQuilkin, and Messrs. J. w. Duvall
and A. II. Myers. The audience was
delighted with the music, and all
agreed that the concert reflected
credit on those who participated.

A Surs-Enough Soon.

Several weeks ago the REGISTER
made mention of q prospective boom
at Kearneysville, this county The
statement was made that A. j. Morris
& Co, of Avondale, Pa, had bought
1s acres. Of land from Mr.. B. s. Nc
Intire for the purpose OF getting out
stone. At the same time, doubts
that the enterprise would materialize
were expressed.
From information obtained from
first-rate authority we are now led to
believe that the boom will be sure
enough one. On Tuesday OF this
week the members of the firm referred
to and a number of b. & o. officials
paid visit to Kearneysville in a
special car, and concluded arrang e.
ments to put the enterprise in work
ing order as soon as possible. In
addition to the IS acres OF land
bought from Mr. McIntire, Messrs.
Morris & Co. purchased nearly a
hundred acres from Mr.. WIN. T. Stew
art, paying S75 per acre for it. This
puts them in possession of a strip o.
land nearly a mile in length immedi-
ately north of and adjoining the rail
road. The railroad company will be-
gin Monday to put in an extensive
switch, and soon the stone company
will start in to drill an artesian well,
put up the necessary buildings and
place in position the machinery. A
hundred hands will be given employ
ment very soon.
Morris & Co. propose to open ex-
tensive quarries. Heavy stone for
piers, abutments and such work will
first be gotten out, then smaller build
ing stone, and finally crushed stone
for various purposes. The company
will furnish great quantities of bal
last for the Il. & o. Railroad also.
From ten to Twelve carloads of stone
will be handled daily, aud when the
works are in complete running order
the output will be increased to twenty
carloads per day.

PERSONALS.

Rev. II. G. Mcdaniel and family

be greatly missed from Shepherds
town, where they have made many
warm friends during the three years
they have lived here. Miss Mamie
Mcdaniel has been most useful per-
son in the community, her unusual
musical talent and willingness to use
it for the public good having made
her prominent in so many of the en-
tertainments held in this place. Her
departure will also be seriously felt in
the church. Mr.. Frank Mcdaniel
will remain here until he completes
his studies at Shepherd College.

And fhey We're Beaten, Foo.

And They We're beqtsH, Too.
The Harper's Ferry Seminal Of last
week says:
Evidently, the Shepherdstown
whiskey men suspect the REGISTER
of being in sympathy with the tenn
perance people, for they tried the
boycott business by going to Hagers-
town and having their printing done.
Their tickets should have been beat
en- for this, if for no other reason.
And this is what the Martinahurg
Statesman says;
We understand. the saloon party in
Shepherdstown had their tickets
printed in Hagerstown, Md, for the
election last week. They were beaten,
and We'll deserved to be, for that rea:
son if for no other. Anybody who
sends away from home to have their
printing done, even if it be q patent
newspaper, robs home labor, and
does not deserve the patronage Of
his home people.

In the Baltimore Conference. NJ f.
Church South, in Baltimore, last Fri
day, the death of Rev. Andrew Robey
of Edinburg, Va, was announced.
Mr.. Robey entered the conference in
1860, but had been a local preacher
for many years before he was admit
ted. In the time of his service as a
local preacher, he served what was
known then as the Morgan Mission,
in the Blue Ridge. The bounds of
the mission were from Paris, in Ash
by's Gap, down to Harper's Ferry,
probably thirty miles distant. He
was quite remarkable man, one of
strong native intellect, and could at
any time, and in the midst of the
most serious business, put the confer
ence into roar of laughter. He was
the father of twenty-one children,
and twenty of these had been born
when he entered the ministry. Ec-
centric and peculiar as he was, he was
known and loved by the people
throughout the Valley OF Virginia,
where most of his appointments were
located. He was superannuated at
the 1885 session of the conference,
which met at Salem, Va, and has
ever since continued in that relation.
