We are indebted to Charlie Myers

mill below Shepherdstown in 1862. 1t
is large bombshell that he found in

Rev. A. A. P. Neel fell from tree

day last week and hurt himself quite
badly. His spine was injured, and he

We have received from Secretary

meeting of the West Virginia Edito-

Association-a needless expense that
ought not to have been authorized.
There was "a hot time in the old
town" last Friday night. Several
persons got overloaded and somehow
or other in the melee a large glass in
the front of Mr.. Jacob Wintermoyers
store was broken by having a stone

put heavy fines upon the law-breakers
these disturbances would be brought
to a sudden stop.
The faculty and students Of Shep-
herd College took holiday last Friday

1t was bright spot in school life and
the students appreciate the thought

such pleasures.

and prosper" The same to you, Mr..
