All are invited.
There seems to be no doubt now
that Mckinley will Be the next Presi-
dent. But continue the fight and
swell his majority and many a repen-
tant sinner will rejoice after the cleo
ton that he cast his ballot for the
right candidate.
And now we learn that our young
friend, Chas. Austin, without even
mentioning it to us, has rented rooms
over the hardware store in which he
clerks. We were notinformed whether
he was going to keep bachelors hall
or not, yet indications go to show he
will have a partner.
The Martinsburg Shooting Associa-
ton will hold a grand trap shooting
tournament on the old fair grounds
next Tuesday and Wednesday, Octo-
Der 6 and 2. There will be twenty
six events in all, which are open to
all corners The shooting will begin
each day at $50 o'clock.
c. G. Cushwa & Bro, successors to
L. c. Gerling, dealers in hardware,
are of opinion that the Herald is agood
advertising medium, and this week
favor our readers with an invitation
to call on them and inspect their stock.
The firm is a good one and merits
patronage. Give them a call.
Friday afternoon last the stable OF
DR.. VIM. Wolf at the rear OF his resi-
dence on Moler avenue, North Mar
tinsburg, caught fire and was en-
tirely consumed. No fire alarm was
turned in as it had toe much Roadway
when discovered. A horse belonging
to Mr.. Edward Kearns that vas in the
stable persisted in the flames.
A young man named Higgens, en-
ployed as an apprentice III the b. &
O. shops at Brunswick, was badly in
jured one day this week. He vas as
sisting in repairing at engine, when
a spring slipped from its position and
struck him on the head, rendering
him unconscious for ONE time. His
injury was quite painful and he was
unable to work for several days.
The funeral of Mr.. Richard Boyer,
ST., who was killed on the B. & O..
Friday morning, took place Sunday
afternoon from Trinity Episcopal
Church. Mr.. Boyer had been rail
reading for nearly 40 years. His son
was with him when he met his death
learning the grades preparatory to
start on the road himself. Mr.. Boyer
was about 62 years of age and is sur
vived by a wife and six children.
Mr.. Blue, an employe at Fitz' mill,
received a cool bath Wednesday morn
ing. With two other employees he
was e~ndeavoring to get a log out of
the T%uscarora creek, when he slipped
and fell headforemost into the water.
His foot caught on a board, keeping
his feet up and head down, and had
it not been for the timely assistance
of the other hands he might have
drowned. AS it was he lost his hat.
1t will be a big treat for our people
on Saturday, October n, when the
football eleven, of Dickinson college,
Carlisle, Pa, and the West Virginia
University eleven meet in this city.
Football is a comparatively new game
in this city, but interest in it IS grow
ing. The West Virginia boys, it is
said, have a stronger lineup than eyer
and will make it very warm for our
Pennsylvania neighbors.
