Rev. VIII, Chapman left Thursday

Md. He was accompanied by his
daughters, Miss Cora and Mrs. Dr.
Day. Owing to the precarious condi
ton of Mrs. Chapman's health, she

Mr.. David We'll not only keeps one
of the largest stocks of clothing and
gents furnishing goods, in the valley,
but sells at prices which defy compe-
tition. Read what he has to say in an
other column, there go to him, tell

The many friends of Miss Lille
Cunningham, who has been visiting

will be panied to learn that she is Sc
riously i'll with typhoid pneumonia,
resulting from the grip. Her mother
left last Thursday for her bedside and
Father McKeefry stopped of, on his
way to Richmond, to see her.
Weather prophets may not believe
it but in our opinion much ofthe very
pleasant weather for this month is at
tributable to our suggestion that all
hands "let up on our weather clerk,
George Vanmetre. Whether they be-
lieve it OF not, it is a fact that George
has been in a remarkably equable
frame of mind the entire month.
Rev. &c. Gallagher, recently ap-
pointed to Belair, Md, preached a
veryinteresting sermon Sunday morn
ing at the First NJ E. Church. He
is a Martinsburg boy, being a son of
our townsman, Mr.. ]. S. Gallagher,
and is young man of whom his faith
er may we'll be proud. In the even
ing he conducted the Ep worth League
service.
In order, to show farmers the value OF
good roads, we clip the following item
from an exchange; A horse can draw
on metal rails one and two-thirds times
as much as on asphalt pavement, three
and one-third times as much as on
good Belgian blocks, five times as much
as Oh good cobblestone, twenty times
as much as on good earth road and
forty times as much as on sand.
RevW. H. Chapman preached Sun
day eve at the Lutheran Church to a
crowded house. 1t seems in the Dor
rowing and lending among the preach
ers that DR.. Chapman got in debt to
Bro. Trump one sermon, and as both
are strictly honest there was no way
out of the trouble but for the Metho-
dist to preach from the Lutheran pull
pit The theological treat, for it was
nothing less, was highly appreciated
by the audience.
Parkersburg Kni ghts of Pythias
say they must and will capture the
first prize at the grand encampment
in Washington. They are drilling
with much care and should they fail
will make the winners work for the
prize. Until we heard them talk we
had hopes that our Knights were in it
but now we are free to confess that it
looks rather blue. However, one
should not make up his mind after
hearing but one side.
Rev. II. J. McKeefry, pastor of ST.
Joseph's Catholic Church, of this city,
left Monday evening for Richmond to
attend the meeting of the priests of
the diocese of Virginia, of which he is
secretary. The meeting is held to con-
secrate the holy oils and to transact
business in relation to the missionary
work of the diocese. Father Mckee
fry went by way of Washington, ex-
pecting to stop en- route at Alexandra
and Fredericksburg.
1t now appears that not all the
thieves in the southern portion of this
county and in Jefferson were appre.
hended when Gregory and Dayton

week the premises of Messrs. George
Copenhaver, Lee and Elem. Flagg
Kirk Hardesty, and others were enter
ed and small articles such as brides
harness, etc, appropriated. Specia
efforts should be made by the author
