VIII Contest the Election.

As was predicted in last week s
REGISTER, Mr.. Harry c. Getzendan-
ner, of ShepkerdstOwn, was defeated

bv Mr.. D. W, Shaf,er, of Martinsburg,
by 60 majority. Mr.. Getzendanner
cot 6S3 majority in Morgan county
and AL in Berkeley county, while Mr..
sbaffer got 1856 majority in Jefferson
county. Mr.. Getzendanner has deter
mined TO contest the election, and is
now in correspondence with W. NJ, o.
Dawson, State Republican chairman,
in regard to the matter. The grounds
for the contest are that Mr.. Shatfer
name was illegally placed on the gold
Democratic ticket. Nj. Getzendanner
saws that the names of the petitioners
to have it placed there were not those
of men who expected to support the
cold ticket, as the law requires.

Millinery Business for 90 Years.

Mrs. L. A. Gates-Hadley will remove
her millinery establishment the first of
March, to the quarters in the new Arms
block now occupied by Butterfeld's res
taurant. Miss Margaret Flavin, who has
occupied the present quarters with Mrs.
Hadley in Crays block, will take rooms on
the second floor of the same building. 1t
may be interesting to note that in nearly
rs years of its existence, there have been
only two changes in the millinery firm. In
the spring of 1925, the first millinery es-
tablishment of Bellows Falls was opened
on Rockingham street by Miss Sally S.
Guild, and was carried on by herself and
her two sisters, Misses Betsey and Lucy
Guild, until 1885, period of go years, and
then the business was sold to Miss Kath-
arine A. Flavin, who in two years moved
to the present location on Westminster
street, in company with Miss Flavin, dress
maker. Five years ago next month, Miss
Katharine Flavin sold the millinery bust
ness to Miss Lila Gates, now Mrs. Had
ley. The many friends of Mrs. Hadley
congratulate her upon securing such com
modious quarters, and wish her success in
in this new move, which will give her,
probably, the best store of its kind on the
square.
