The statement made in the Sparks
that this paper announced that bonds
would be voted is absolutely false.
All readers of the REGISTER know that
nothing of the kind has ever appeared
in this paper. The Sparks hopes by
such methods to influence those too
prejudiced to read both sides of the
controversy.

The Sparks does not attempt to
explain the reason their 'non-parti-
sans" refused a single place on their
ticket to republican. That kind of
non -partisanship is becoming stale.
The Lamar register., 1895-03-30

The policy pursued by the next
council will have much to do with
the future of Lamar.-Sparks.
This being the case we ask the
voters whether they prefer to have the
policy outlined by the men on the
republican or democratic ticket. Ev-
cry man on the republican is tax
payer and is vitally interested in the
growth and prosperity of Lamar. On
the other ticket half the members
have never contributed anything to
the support of the town government,
and have no special interest in the
growth of the town.
The Lamar register., 1895-03-30

No man was nominated by the
Sparks mon partisan" gang until he
pledged himself to join the ''silyer"
party, their latest scheme to catch
the voters
The Lamar register., 1895-03-30

The statement made several times
by the REGISTER that the Sparks
would never support any kind of non
partisanship that did not include
something for itself, has been strik-
inply proven. Last week it was very
mild in its support of the democratic
ticket, but room was made Saturday
on the ticket for the editor, and this
week it is enthusiastic in support Of
what it modestly calls "a good ticket" )"

CITIZENS-REPUBLICAN TICKET

The Sparks claims great credit be-
cause they nominated one taxpayer
on their ticket.
The Lamar register., 1895-03-30

The most ridiculous spectacle we
have ever scents the called demo-
cratic ticket. For three years these
men have been making platforms and
running for Office on them advocating
Government control of railroads, tel
epraph lines and all institutions of
public convenience. They are no"
running on a platform advocating
that the city turn its water works
over to private individuals free of
charge and guarantee the repairs for
ten wears. Men, who can so easily
change what they call convicticns
and rush into something new for the
sake of Office. are not safe ones to
trust in public affairs.

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS INSPECT

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS INSPECT
THE DIsTILLERY.-The directors of
the Hannisville Distilling Company,
most of whom are from Philadelphia,
arrived in this city last Monday
night and were driven to the COM
pany's plant the next morning and
made their annual inspection.
At q recent meeting of the stock
holders in the office of the company
in Baltimore Mr.. Geo. H. Jarden, OF
Philadelphia, was elected president,
and the other officers and directors
of the company reelected.
The gentlemen left the Continen.
tai hotel about ten o'clock, where
they had taken breakfast, and under
the direction of Mr.. Parks proceed
ed on q tour Of inspection through
out the grounds and buildings of the
company at Hannisville. They re-
turned to the Continental for dinner.
Then returning to the Distillery
again after dinner, they continued
the inspection. The gentlemen say
that there is not a better equipped
or managed plant to be found any
where. Much credit is given MIR.
Parks for his efficient management
of the company's business here. The
whole party returned to Phi a,lelphia
Tuesday evening.

THE WEATHER.-The weather con-
ditions of the past week have been
decidedly the most unfavorable of
the whole season thus far. The sud-
den change from the midsummer
heat of the period beginning April
25th and ending May 18th, to the
equally abnormal cold since that time
has most seriously checked and in
jured the growing crops. Core
spondents are all of one opinion
about the effect of the last week s
weather on the crops. In many To-
calities along river bottoms, the
crops were protected from the frosts
by heavy fogs, and not SO much
damage was done. AS a general
thing, but little damage was done to
the wheat crop. Corn on hillsides
was badly injured in many places,
and some correspondents say the
ground is being narrowed over for
new planting. Damage from cut
worms has increased greatly during
the cold weather. The oat crop is
reported as almost a failure in many
sections. Grass and young clover
has suffered from the cold, the
young clover especially. Fruit trees
seem to have been injured very bad
ly in some sections, correspondents
saying that the fruit, especially ap-
pies, is dropping from the trees.
Where protected by fog, the outlook
is for an abundant fruit crop, if no
further injury occurs. Gardens seem
to have suffered most of all and in
addition are suffering to considera-
BILE extent from cut.wo rms.

HELD UP.-A few nights ago Prof.
Lee Siler, of the Third Ward School,
was on his way from his mothers
residence to this city, he was held up
by two men, who demanded money.
Mr.. Sller's mother resi- les a couple
of miles north of this city, near the
line of the B. & o. Railroad, and the
nearest way to town IS to follow the
railroad track. Mr.. Siler had been
at his mothers during the day and
about O'Clock in the evening start
ed for his home in this city. Desir-
ing to get home as soon as possible
he started down the railroad, and
when near Bakers lime kiln he was
halted by two men, who informed
him that they wanted money. Mr..
Siler replied by saying, "Then if that
is the case here are three men that
want money, as | would like to have
little myself This not seeming
to satisfy the men they said, 1--WE
are in earnest, and want some mon
ey." Mr.. Siler now informed the
men that he had no money for them
and walked away. The men made
no attempt to follow, and Mr.. Siler
was fortunate in getting out as he
did World.

NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS.
1t is now little over five years
since the citizens of this city were in
formed by the President of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
that the Second Division Of their
road would be moved to Brunswick,
Maryland.
This news to the citizens of our
city was thought TO be nothing less
than a calamity, and the question
asked was, what must be done to
counteract it. A meeting was called i,
plans were matured, and an organiza-
ton was formed. A charter was
procured under the name Of "The
Martinsburg Improvement, Loan and
Building Association" shares we're
taken and guaranteed, so as to give
us basis of credit. On these We
borrowed money, built hose factory,
which was run successfully until the
death of Col. Hickman, when the
plant was turned over to the Middle
sex Knitting Machine Co., and series
"B'' was started in conjunction with
the former series, and the result is
we have two of the finest hosiery
plants in this or any other country
giving employment TO hundreds of
our citizens. As the first shares will
mature ere long, and will be retired
another series Of five Thousand shares
will be started September 1st 1895,
and will be known as series &C."
The books will be opened TO receive
these shares on July /.
This organization has done more
for the general prosperity of the
city than anything that was ever
started in our midst, and anyone
taking shares, not only makes good
investment for himself, one of the
best and safest that can Re made,
but puts his money where it does
good for our city, and goes directly
back into the channels of trade,
thereby giving mutual profit.
For particulars apply to Charles
A. Young, Esq, Secretary who will
be pleased to give any information
relating thereto.

A VERY PLEASANT SoCIAL.-The
home of Miss Belle Rulings, on N.
High street, was the the scene of
much mirth and enjoyment on Thurs
day evening last, and from the mer-
ry sounds eminating therefrom they
seemed to be having a royal good
time, indeed. The party was gwen
by Miss Belle, to number of her
many friends, who assembled to have
good time. About twelve couple
were present. The evening was
joyfully spent with music, games
and tripping the light fantastic toe
until II o'clock, when the guests
were invited to the dining room,
where they succeeded in doing jus
tice TO the elegant refreshments
spread before them. Miss Belle,
who is charming young lady, prov.
ed herself good entertainer and
made them all feel at home. Her
many friends always enjoy being in
her company. 1t was indeed a late
hour when the merry party dissolved
itself, only regretting that the even
ing passed so rapidly, and express
ing themselves as having spent one
of the most pleasant evenings of
their lives,
