WINCHESTER PREsBYTERY.-The
centennial celebration of Winchester
Presbytery was held IN the Pres
byterian Church at Shep-
herdstown, September IL. The or
ganization of the Presbytery took
place in 1749 in Winchester, Va,
when Rev. Moses Hoge, who was at
that time pastor of the Shepherds
town Presbyterian Church, preached
the opening sermon. The Presby-
terry then numbered sixteen churches
and five ministers; now it
Numbers forty-three churches and
thirty-one ministers, four of whom
are foreign missionaries in Brazil,
China and Japan. 1t comprises five
counties in Virginia, eight in West
Virginia and one in Maryland and en-
rolls $500 communicates and 3,400
Sunday-school scholars, and con.
tributed last year to all objects $685.
900.
The Presbyterian Church in Shep-
herdstown. was chosen as the place
of the centennial celebration in part
because it is one of the Oldest
churches of the Presbytery.
The latest authorities admit that
the first settlement in the Valley of
Virginia was made at Shepherdstown
when about the year 1925 a company
Of 80 thrifty Germans from Penrsyl-
vania crossed the Cohongorooten,
the "wild gose stream as the In
dams called the Potomac at that
time, and established themselves on
the Southern bank and called the
place "New Mecklenberg," which
name gave place afterward to Shep-
herdstown.
Sometime after the sturdy Scotch
Irish followed with their love of
liberty and their Presbyterianism /;
for one hundred and twenty years
ago the Presbyterians worshipped
God according to their own faith
and had occasionally preaching in
Shepherdstown. 1t was to this Pres
byterian Church that DR.. Moses
Hoge came IN 1887, and by his abil-
ity and labors for twenty years in
preaching, teaching a classical school
and training young men for the Cos
pei ministry built up a strong church
and left lasting influence for good
upon the community.
One appropriate feature of this
centennial celebration was that the,
grandson of this honored minister
DR.. Moses D. Hoge, of Richmond,
Va, at the scene OF his
grandfather's early life and labors to
deliver an address and preach SER
mon that closed the presbytery's
century.
Among other distinguished speak
ers that took part in these inter-
esting exercises were DR.. j. R. Ora
ham, of Winchester, moderator of
the Southern Presbyterian Assembly;
DR.. Henry NJ. White, of Winches,
ter; DIR. George Norcross. of Car
Isle, Pa; and DR.. j. P. Smith, edi-
tor of the Central Presbyterian, of
Richmond, Va. DR.. Smith was

Crop BULLETIN FOR THE PAST
WEEK.-Very little, if any, rain fell
during the week; temperature was
about normal with cool nights and
warm days. The weather was gen.
orally smoky, the sun at times being
almost obscured fogs were quite
general during the later portion of
the week with some haze during the
past week or SO. While crops were
much benefited by rains late in the
week, yet in many districts the
drouth has again resumed full sway,
water in streams and wells very
scarce and stock suffering. Roads
are extremely dusty. The more
northern counties appear to feel the
effects of the present dryness most !;
in eastern ard southern counties
crops continue in fair condition and
in some of the central and western
counties previously affected by
drouth conditions are reported to
be much improved. Early corn dry
ing rapidly, some being cut. The
crop was revived considerably by re.
cent rains but is in need of more.
This applies more especially to late
corn as the early was generally con-
coded to be past chances of any flu
ture improvement this season. In
southern and eastern counties corn
is in fair condition in all sections
of the Stste corn will be generally
short, although better than anticipat-
ed few weeks ago ; at some places
in Berkeley county more than an
average cropis expected. Buckwheat
said to be affected somewhat by dry
weather, crop generally holds up
pretty well, first sowing about ready
for cutting, in fact some is now be-
ing cut in Raleigh county. Wheat
and oat threshing about completed,
both quantity and yield reported as
fair to good. Grass remained at
nearly standstill although looking
much better than a few weeks pre-
vious, young grass is reported as do
ing well. Some pastures about dried
up. Turnips and late cabbage look
fairly well. Potatoes about all dug,
not much more than half yield as
a rule and small in size, some rot
noted. Potatoes yet in ground need
rain badly. Many tomatoes rotting
crop fairly large, Early sown tur-
nips failure, late generally good.
Gardens with few exceptions) are
fair, considering existing conditions.
Apples and grapes are somewhat
smaller than usual and are ripening
unevenly because of dry weather.
Apples continue falling. Chestnuts
are very heavy crop. Flowing for
fall seeding rendered difficult because
of dry soil. Many farmers are hest
tating about bnying fertilizers fear
ing that rain will not come in season
for putting out usual quantity of
wheat on fallow land.

Bank Books MuddIed.

HAGERsTowN, ND, Sept. 9-As-
sociate Judge Edward Stake late
last evening appointed Mr.. John B.
Sweeney and Mr.. John l.. Bickle,
teller IN the Hagerstown Bank, re-
ceivers for the Washington County
Savings Institution, of Hagerstown.
The application for the receivers was
made by the directors, John B.
Sweeney, Dr.. Charles E. S. Mckee,
Robert Lee Haine, DR.. T. W. Sim
mons, Justus Helmet, and Jacob W.
Monath. Mr.. Sweeney is president,
Mr.. Thomas Taggart secretary and
treasurer, and Mr.. George W. Smith,
Jr.,attorney. The assers are about
$4,000.
Several months ago Mr. Taggart,
who handled all the money, was
taken ILL., President Sweeney was
appointed his successor. The books
were found to be in tangled condi-
ton and the accounts so mixed that
it was impossible to ascertain the
actual condition of the bank.
Mr.. Taggart is too ill to explain
the accounts, but has given an in
demnity bond. with his sister
Miss Ella Taggart, with securities of
$4,000, to secure the depositors from
loss. President Sweeney says the
money is all loaned on good securi-
ties, but at present is unable to say
what loss on the dollar the deposi.
tors will suffer. The bank was or.
ganized in 1868 and has been doing
q careful business ever since. Mr..
Taggart has been treasurer for near
ly twenty-five years. The receivers
will at once proceed to collect all
outstanding money and wind up
the affairs of the institution.

working element. He has already
commenced to work, and it is said
he will not miss a cross road or

among the miners is his unostenta-
