GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers
About / 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased If
their merits We're fully understood
As Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior TO coal or wood stoves In
cooking meats or vegetables.
AS water Heaters and 'Ironers"
they are most useful, especially when the
weather Is too warm TO use the ordinary
stove or range
AS heating apparatus that can be
moved from room to room in few min
utes by the housekeeper they are most
convenient.
AS assistant heaters IN rooms where
furnaces or steam heat will not ascend
on the windward side they have given
great satisfaction
AS permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating hues they
have given much comfort
AS Intermittent heaters, where heat IS
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical
For Offices and stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fires, they
may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
AS fires that can be started in a min.
ute and extinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory
AS heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental.
The gas, the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting in are inexpensive.

Our New Judge.

Hon. Z. Boyd Faulkner was born
in July, 1S4l. at the home of his dis
tinguished father, Charles j. Faux
ner, in Martinsburg. His education
was under select home preceptors,
then at Georgetown, d. c., and at the
University OF Virginia.
While his father represented the
United States at the Court OF st. Cloud,
in Paris, France, he travelled in Italy
and Switzerland, after which he at
tended lectures upon constitutional
law in Paris, and at the age Of eigh-
teen years was acting as Secretary OF
the American Legation.
AT the beginning Of the civil war in
America, he returned home and cast
his destiny with the South, under Ii e
banner of his native State, Virginia,
and was, for time, aid on the staff
OF Gov. Letcher, but resigned to serve
as an officer in the Confederate army.
In June, 1861, he was captured and
with other prisoners taken to John
sons Island, where he was confined
one year. The war over, in 1855 he
went to Hopkinsville, KY. as the law
partner of Judge Petree, and in the
seymour CduupdiSu vi lCOo uo was
made elector of the Second Congress
sional district of that State.
Four years later he resumed citizen
ship at Martinsburg, w. Va, and was
elected TO the House of Delegates, in
1876, from Berkel county, where he
served with ability and prominence,
and with fidelity to his constituents.
They so endorsed him, that in 1873 he
was elected to the State Senate. He
declined, at the hands of his party,
the presidency of that body, and in
1894 he was prominent candidate
before the Democrat. convention for
the nomination for Governor.
President Cleveland in 1885 rendered
to him the office of Consul General to
Egypt which he decided not TO acc PIT
He was then offered the Mission 10
Persia which he also declined. He is
one of the leaders Of his party in this
State, and an able and popular lawyer
with an extensive and lucrative prac-
tice

OLDEST TOWN IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Romney, seat of justice of Hamp-
shire county, is the oldest town in
West Virginia. 1t was laid out in No
yember 1852, by Lord Fairfax, who
named it Romney after town OF that
name in England, one of the Cinque
Ports on the English Channel. 1t,
together, with Hastings, Hythe, Do
yer and Sandwich received peculiar
privileges on condition Of furnishing
ships in time of war. BY an act OF
the Virginia Assembly Dec. 4, 1889,
Isaac Parson, Isaac Miller, Andrew
Woodrow, Steven Calvin, Jonathan
Russell, Nicholas Casey. VIM. Ma
euire, Peril Drew and James Murphy
were appointed trustees OF the town.
In 1892 it was represented to the AS.
sembly that il was uncertain ana
unknown TO whom many OF the lots IN
the town of Romney legally belonged, "
for the reason that the late Lord Fair
fax hath made no deed, and that
body enacted that 1.-The title to said
lots shall be vested in the trustees
whose title TO them shall be valid in
law" Washington on his journey TO
the Ohio spent the night OF Oct. y,
ITO, in Romney. Historical
Magazine.
We will have to take issue with the
historian Of the magazine above
quoted from. We claim for Shep-
herdstown the honor of being the
Oldest town in West Virginia, and this
assertion is endorsed by Col. J. E.
Norris, the painstaking author OF the
History of the Lower Shenandoah
Valley. Shepherdstown, or Mecklen-
burg, as it was then called, was incor-
porated at the time Romney was laid
out, in November, 1862. But it was
a town many years before that. In
1927 party of German settlers fol-
lowed the Indian trail down through
the Cumberland Valley of Pennsyl-
yania and crossed the Potomac river
at the Packhorse Ford, mile below
Shepherdstown. Coming up the river
a short distance they saw the present
site of the town, and noted the fact
that it was a goodly land. Here they
"souatted," and about 1870, when
Richard APP Morgan obtained his
grant from the colonial government
they paid for their claims and re-
ceived titles from him. Says Col.
Norris: This settlement, or begin
ming of town, antedates Winches-
ter by twenty years, 1927, or there
abouts, five years before the immor-
tai Washington was bornl A Luther
an church was established here be-
tween 1850 and 1860, and a tradition
saws that the famous Rev. Peter Muh-
lenberg preached here in 1870. Col.
Norris was under the impression that
Winchester was an older town than
"Mecklenburg," but careful
Research of all available records
caused him to concede the fact that
the latter place was the Oldest town
in the Shenandoah Valley-conse-
auently the oldest in West Virginia.
What is believed to have been the
first house built in this section of Nir-
ginia is still standing in Shepherds

Letter from Rabbitsburg.


Mr.. EDITOR AS it has been some
since you recei< ed letter from Gabble
Corner, now called Rabbitsburg. l
take this opportunity to let you know
that our little burg" has boom at
this time. Mr.. A. S. Knode is build
ing on the east side of Rabbitsburg,
and Mr.. John c. Reinhart on the west
side. Others contemplate building
and improving as soon as the weather
will permit There will be some
changes made in our neighborhood
this spring. Mr. Clayton Donley has
sold his house and lot to Mr. Jesse
Thompson, and has moved to the farm
which Mr.. Geo. S. Knott bought OF
r. ID. Lamar. Mr.. G.. j. Knott has
moved to Brunswick, Md. Mr.. ID. +
Kooptz will occupy the house vacated
by the same and will farm the land OF
Mr.. S. NJ. Knott. Mr.. William K.
Knott has gone to Mckeesport, Pa,
to seek employment. Mr.. NJ. III. Skin
ner is very busy with his hay baler
this winter. Our corner is somewhat
excited on the subject of the railroad
up the river. No doubt it would open
up new industries that would give EN-
ployment to the laboring men. If we
could get the railroad to come up the
river, we might induce some manufac-
turing company to locate with us. We
have limestone, iron ore, cement stone
and building stone in the vicinity,
which could lie worked with profit to
all il we had some way Of transporta-
ton. The Cleveland Club, of Moler's,
i. in flourishing condition. Senator
Knott addressed the club last Friday
night. The Farmers Alliance seems
to be in thriving condition, too, by
the dinner which the writer had the
pleasure of eating, February 10th.
Mr.. Allen Staley has moved on the
home place with his mother. Mr..
Thomas Briarly will occupy the house
he vacated. Politics is the general
talk Of Rabbitsburg. Some are for
Cleveland and some for Hill. Mr..
Daniel Lee Moler and Miss Grace Dan
iels were quietly married last Wednes-
day The boys of the vicinity waited
on them on Thursday night with tin
pans and horns and such instruments
of music as are generally used on the
occasion. We understand they re-
ceived a very warm reception.

The Parting Of the Ways.

Wilkins and Watkins were college
chums and close friends. They had
been hard students and had taken
little outdoor exercise. When they
shook hands and said goodbye. at
the end of their college career, they
were in impaired health. Both had
dyspepsia, liver troubles and trouble
some coughs.
Wilkins had plenty of money, and
decided to travel for his health. Wat

COMMUNICATED.

MR.. EDITOR Last Friday night little
social WAS held at the "Old Chapel" Clarke
county. Virginia. Quite number were In
vited, but owing to the Indictment weather
the attendance was small. A dance was
given in the neighborhood the same night,
which was another drawback 10 the social.
Various were the games and amusements
selected for the entertainment OF that party.
Nothing was left undone by the ladies to-
ward making IL a success, and they were re-
warded Tor their trouble by the enjoyment
OF all. Some OF the young ladies had very
sore lips the next morning, but one
pecially had nerve" HuckleberTies and
pumpkins were on hand, mucn To the amuse
meut of all. Not many young men could az

did not seem TO care. Refreshments were
served with bountiful hand. The cakes
baked by the Fair" were perfectly dell

was ready for lt-as 1t usually does. On the
"homeward bound" some OF the boys got
lost but the fact was overlooked on account
OF the darkness. All had pleasant time,
and getting lost was not so bad, only by noon
Saturday every one for miles around knew

entertaining. Their hospitality is unbound
