The first Commencement of the
Charles Town Graded School will
take place next Friday, May %, at
10 o'clock, in Washington Hall.
The exercises will consist in the
presentation of diplomas, grade GER
~tificates, and announcement of dis
%tinctions and school awards. There
will also be a short address. Exam
nations were held by the Co. Supt.,
A. A. p. Mellon the 9th of May, for
candidates for graduation. AS a re-
suit several passed very successfully,
and have worthily won their dipIo-
mas, which are given by the State.
The past session has been remarkably
successful, and the examinations
now in progress will be a test of the
good work of both teachers and
pupils.

About Pens.

1t is reputed of E sterbrook that
she makes ladies steal (steel) pens,
and says they do right" (write) !;
and we must agree with him. But
ladies do not always write right"
because they do not use a pen suited
to their style of writing. IF there is
any one thing in which Beard, the
Stationer, takes pains to please his
customers, it is in selling pens. If
you use q stub try his popular
brass.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a COM
munity of simple, honest, God-fearing men
and women, have prepared the shaker Digcs-
tive Cordial for many years, aud it is always
the same, simple, honest, curative medicine
that has helped to make tho Shakers the
healthy, long-lived people that they are. The
Shakers never have Indigestion. This is partly
owing to their simple mode of life, partly to
the wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach
glands not supplying enough digestiye. juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial invigorat-
ties the stomach and all its glands so that Of

Mr.. John j. Boyd, with his "Big

lots of goods here the past few days.
Some of his prices are almost unpre-

He goes to Winchester from here,

never pause when any opportunity is
