A Store BurglariZed.

One night last week, after the clerk
in the store of Mr.. T. Homsher at
Kearneysville, had closed up the store
and retired for the night, man eff
fected an entrance into his sleeping
apartments over the store-room and
tied his hands and blindfolded him
while he slept. The intruder then
awoke the clerk and demanded him
to give up the key to the store door,
and also compelled the young man to
accompany him to the store. After
entering the store the burglar helped
himself to a lot of valuable merchan-
disc and then made his escape, leav-
ing the clerk tied and blindtolded.
The young man, however, succeeded
in freeing himself and gave an alarm,
but the thief was not captured. 1t
was certainly bold robbery and, the
supposition is that the thief was a
member of a gang Of tramps who
have recently been lettering in that
neighborhood.

Shooting scrape at KearneysvIIIe.

There was a lively shooting ARRAY
at Kearneysville last Saturday night
between some colored men at a
"festibul.' Two of the dusky brethren
had had faling-Out few days pre-
vious, ostensibly over seat on
cracker box, but, as usual, there was
in reality "a woman at the bottom OF
it. Saturday night the quarrel was
renewed, and Nelson Conn fired five
shots from a revolver in as many Sec
onds. His opponent, whose name we
did not learn, received three Of the
bullets-one in his arm, one in his
shoulder and the other in his back,
while a fourth struck boy in the leg.
Conn lit out and has not been seen
since. The wounded man, whose in
iuries, DR.. Banks informs US, are not
serious, was sent to his home in War
rem county, Va, on Sunday.

With a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due 10 any actual dis
ease, but simply TO constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
IL removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. II is therefore
ali important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, 20 note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured By the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system Is regular, lsxatives or
other remedies are then not needed IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended 70 the most skillful

one should have the best. and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of

Found in a Watermelon.

The family of Mr. Milton S. Miller,
of near Kearneysville, assembled as
usual around the dinner table on Sun
day, August 9th, all intent on doing
ample justice to the meal and also
eager to do battle with large ripe
watermelon which Mr.. Miller had pur-
chased in Martinsburg the day pre-
vious. When the proper time came
to dispose of the melon, Mr.. Mlller's
daughter was selected to superintend
the slicing and distributingof the same,
which she did with grace and dignity.
She succeeded in slicing the entire
melon from one end to the other when
her attention was attracted by pecu-
liar formation on the face Of the re-
naming end in the shape of several
letters. The attention Of the family
was called and with eager eyes they
scanned the formation, and everyone
endeavored to decipher the meaning,
but at last gave it up. Right on the
surface of the end of the melon the fol-
lowing letters, perfectly formed, were
,,lair1v- n ba seen
