The first of April is past, and GER
tain clothing merchant not thousand
miles from the market house is glad
Of it. Some of the boys played him
we'll and are thinking of going on the
road with the attraction which will be
called "Uncle Jim.
A Charles Town man was knocked
galley-e ways by his wife walking
into a saloon where he was, and loud
ly asking him what he was going to
have. She called for beer and put the
glass to her lips, when he bolted.
They say he has sworn off. This re-
port comes straight, but the Free Press
didn't say so = because it was in
Charles Town.
THE Musical Genius" sermon
delivered by DR.. Shields at the NJ. E.
church Sunday night, was beautiful
and instructive, and was listened to
with marked attention by one of the
largest congregations ever assembled
within the church. DR.. Shields is one
of the finest expounders we have ever
had in this town, and his sermons and
lectures are attracting widespread at
tention.
Last week one of the restaurants in
town dished up one of those mysteries
of the kitchen, which women love to
perplex men with, for trio of young
men. One of the boys called it Tom
and Jerry and another eggnog. but
when Pate Kramer was asked the ques-
ton, he said, 81 believe ancient hen
fruit is the principal ingredient, but
damfno what it is" Now the gang"
walk past whistling 1--WE Never Speak
as We Pass By"
Very reliable authority says there
lives in this town a man who gives
his little child nickel to go to bed
while he plays chess with his friends,
and when the child is asleep takes the
nickel and tells him he lost it. Just
think-such an individual in our
burgl We have heard of the man who
uses a wart for a collar button, the
man who tried to cross his bees with
lightning bugs so they would work at
night, but this fellow downs them
both.
They say" Louis Brown, the genial
CONNECTION AIRY" or dealer in sweets.
is positively one of the most polite,
accommodating, and genial fellows in
Martinsburg. Now the girls say this,
and what the girls say is absolutely
true. They know, too, he keeps such
a well-selected stock of goods--and
sweet ones at that-to select from that
one is dead sure to get just what they
want; then as the boys have to go
there to buy their candy, do you see
there is made another warm impress
sion on the dear girls hearts for
Louis.
The I4enten season is nearing an
end. Can each of us ask ourselves
what sacrifice have we made-what
good have we accomplished with a
feeling of satisfaction in our hearts
that we have been faithful-and feel
strengthened by our prayers for more
earnest, devout life to Him. The
Lenten season is observed by the
Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Reformed
and Lutheran churches, and gener-
al interest has been manifested this
season which has been encouraging to
the pastors. The season is time for
repentance and is observed by all
churches, though in a different way.
I'm lawyer and my name is
Marks" is the expression that goes
down the line when a certain gentle
man makes his appearance on the
street. We do not believe, however,
this is the original Marks that Harriet
Beecher Stowe made famous, for her
Marks carried an umbrella, and this
one don't; neither do we believe that
the taste of her Marks was educated
up to fine Havana cigars Not being
connoisseur in the smoking line, we
are probably incapable of detecting the
Havana part of the cigars, but yor
