DRESS GOODS,

new Silks. new Trimmings, in fact new
goods for every department, and as you
have proved already our prices are al
ways away below any other store.
The secret of our being able to sell
our goods at a lower margin of profit
than our neighbors is the fact that we
belong to the big syndicate, therefore we
can buy cheaper; and also our larger
overturn enables us to mark our goods
at lower figure than those merchants
who can only buy in smaller quantities
through jobbers.
We save you the iobbers profits by

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING. -
mass-meeting OF the democrats of
Berkeley county was held in the
court house last Saturday for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
Second Congressional District Con-
vention, to be held at Davis, June
18th, to name two delegates from
this district to the Chicago Conven-
tion. The meeting was not largely
attended, but there was feeling of
unrest evident between the ssIUer
and the gold men. The former were
in the minority, yet they made a
stubborn fight, and only a coup
d'etat, on the part of the gold men,
prevented the silver men from show
ing their strength. The delegates 90
to Davis uninstructed, but it is well
known that they are not free silver
men. This is how it was done:
County Chairman FL. I. Cushwa
called Hon. Alex. Parks to the chair,
and Mr.. A. @. Nadenbousch was
made secretary, and all democratic
editors assistants. A motion was
made, as soon as they were ready
for business, that committee of
three from Martin burg and one
from each Of the q districts be
appointed to name "a delegates, sub
ject to the action OF the convention.
This committee retired, and soon re-
turned with their report, which had
no free silver men on it. Then there
was kick from the free silver men,
who moved that the report of the
eommittce he rejected. Then gold
man followed with the substitute
that the report as a whole be receiv-
ed and adopted, which was done,
and to prevent any further action
from the silver men the motion to
adjourn, which is undesirable, was
put and quickly carried. The follow
ing delegates we're the ones named
Arden-Robert Burkhart, Edward
Rauch; Gerardstown-C. L. Stuck
ey, Hall Wilson; Martinsburg-Alex.
Parks. J. G. Frazer, P. r. Harrison,
Fl. T. Cushwa. J. W. Dodd, s. A.
Westenhaver, William T. Henshaw,
Fl. G. Berry and Charles Fl. Fellers;
Failing Waters-J. T. Morrison, j.
v. Quinn; Mill Creek-Geo. Whit

W. II. Myers, Capt. j. N. Canning
ham; Disqualification D. Kilmer,

AsLEBp-On Friday, May the
28th, the Angel of Death entered the
home of Mrs. Chas. Prather, and
placed his ICY hand or the brow of q
loving daughter, ] Josephine. Truly a
noble young friend from us has gone.
Josie's sufferings were long and
agonizing, but were borne with the
cheerful loving, self-sacrificing
spirit that characterized her life.
Two years ago she protested faith in
Christ, and since then has been a
consistent member of the U. B.
Church and an humble follower of
Christ. Superior natural gifts, crys-
tallized by the Spirit and love OF
Christ gave her a decided character
of nobleness. She was the sunshine
Of her home, and a ministering angel
to all needs and at all hours in
homes of restitution and sorrow.
She divided to each her earthly
possessions, but the greatest treasure
she left to all who knew her is our
remembrance Of noble and wholly
unselfish life. She loved life, but
cheerfullv submitted to the call,
Child, come home" The funeral
services were conducted, by Rev.
Snyder, pastor of the U. B. Church
of Martinsburg, after which the re-
mains were taken to Darkesville
cemetery for interment. May God
comfort the grief-saddened friends,
and may they find relief in the
thought that if they are faithful un.
til the end they shall meet in that
home where sickness and death
never comes.
o ! call it not death, It's life begun,
For the waters are passed, and home is
won /:
The ransomed spirit has reached the shore
Where they weep and suffer AID sin nc
more.
She is safe in her fathers house above
In the place prepared by her Sayior's love
To depart from this world of sin and strife
To be with Jesus yes tbs life.
