We hope our people will turn out
in force Saturday night to hear Hon.

the voters in the town hall Mr..
Walker is a rafting good speaker,

Captain Kirk Cunningham, a we'll

caused the Captain to jump from the
vehicle in which he was seated, and
the bone was badly fractured near
the ankle.
Senator Faulkner has made 90
speeches this campaign and is billed
for % more before election day. The
Democratic party is truly fortunate
in having such an able and popular
stumper with physical capacity to
endure so great strain.-MartinSbur
Statesman.
The Charlestown Spirit makes the
assertion that it has larger circula-
ton than any other paper in Jeffer-
son county, whereupon the Advocate
takes immediate and emphatic ex-
ception. When these two papers get
little hotter perhaps the REGISTER
will have something to say.

Forrest w. Brown, Esq, in his
speech at Bolivar a few nights ago,
said he was informed that the price
of wood pulp had been advanced 60
per cent, and asked those of the
pulp mill employees whose wages had
been advanced to rise up. There
were some of them present, but none
responded.
Mr.. Hodges bay horse created an
other sensation on Tuesday by run
ming off with a wagon. Dan Shell
who was driving, was thrown out nd
had his face skinned and his head cut,
and the horse ran ON down TO Main
street, where it hooked the wagon to

There was a big crowd of Demo

inent Democrats, and a great deal OF
enthusiasm was manifested. Mr..
Wilson's speech was one of the best
that was delivered.
Mr.. Fred l.. Weltzheimer, who went
to Baltimore to seeabout his fractured
leg, was operated on by DR.. Tiffany
at the University Hospital on Monday.
The broken bone had not knit togeth-
err, but a gristle had formed over the
fracture that allowed the limb to
swing loosely. DR.. Tiffany made an
incision, then drilled holes through
the bones and fastened them together
with silver wire. Mr.. Weltzheimer
stood the operation well, and wehope
his improvement may now be rapid.
II is understood that a compromise
with the Frederick and HaSerstown
| fair associations is about to be made
to avoid the conflict of dates between
the two exhibitions. 1t is proposed
TO take turn about" alternating
on the second and third weeks OF DC
tober. By this arrangement, one 1alr
wonld be held the first week and the
| other the second week, the succeeding
wear the one occurring the first week
trading dates with the other assocla-
tion.-HagerstO,cn Globe. This is the
sensible way to settle the matter, ahu
il would be much better for both fairs
Shepherdstown is still in the soup
50 far as an early mail is concerned
and the worst of it is she is getting
| into it deeper and deeper. 1t Is bad
| enough to have the mail lay IN ia.
eerstown three hours, but it is much
more aggravating to have 1T delayed
