for Is cents.
There are letters uncalled for in the
Shepherdstown postofice for Mrs Mol

Mr.. Milton NJ. Moler, well-known
farmer of the vicinity of Keller, this
county, and Miss Ida Turner, of
Berkeley county, were married at
Hedgesville last week.
The coolest spell of the season came
along Tuesday, when the thermometer
hung at several degrees below freezing
point all day. Yesterday morning it
got down to IA above zero.
The United States court will convene

There are several cases in which per-

ants.

Railroad from Luray to Hagerstown.
He is a skillful surgeon and pleas
ant gentleman
1t was not a standardized trotter
that Mr.. Edmund Blunt recently
bought from Mr.. Shepherd, but an
imported thoroughbred mare. You
couldn't give Mr.. Blunt trotter,
much less sell him one.
DR.. Edward L. Strobe had $3.50 in
surance on his house and furniture de-
stroyed by fire at Swan Pond last
week. He has rented a house at that
place until he rebuilds, which will
probably not be until next summer.
Mr.. c. E. Rutherford, who is boring
for water on the premises of Mr.. S. l..
Williams at Shenandoah Junction,
struck small stream of water at 70
feet. The well will be deepened how
ever, until a bountiful supply is
reached.
Mr.. S. D. Rutherford, of Kearneys-
vile, has our thanks for cap of de-
licious honey. Mr.. Rutherford is a
very successful apiarist, and sells large
quantities of honey each year. If it
is all as good as that which he sent us
it cant be beat.

The colored people of Providence
R. l., held a John Brown memorial
meeting last Sunday night and decided
to inaugurate national movement for
the erection of monument to John
Brown at Harper's Ferry. We hardly
think it advisable to waste much mon
ey on this scheme.
Last Wednesday night several mem
bers of Mt. Wesley NJ. E. church Wis
tied their pastor, Rev. W. Mex. Ham
mack, bringing with them liberal do
nation of provisionsfor the family and
provender for the horse, which kindly
act was very much appreciated by the
pastor and his family.
Several Shepherdstown persons were
somewhat surprised recently to learn
that real estate belonging to them had
been sold for taxes. The property
being advertised in but one paper, and
that at Charlestown, they didn't know
it was in jeopardy. They can redeem
it by paying the taxes and costs.
The door and window frames IN the
foundation walls of the new college
building are being set this week. AS
