light,
To the world from whence I came.
Do you mourn when another star
Shines out from the glittering sky ?
Do you weep when the raging voice OF
war;
And the storms of conflict die
Then why should your tears run down,
And your heart be sorely riveni?
For another gem in the Saviour e
crown,
For another soul IN Heaven.
HER HUSBAND.

worked by so many organizations Tor
the past 30 years that it seems almost

For New School Buildings.

The meeting called by the Board
of Education, for Friday evening
last in the Court House, to discuss
the ACCESSIBILITY of issuing bonds for
the erection of new school buildings
in this city, was called to order by
the President OF the Board, Mr..
Wolfes. He laid before those pres
ent the plans which the Board had
thought of persuing to increase the
facilities Of the city schools. There
was a fair representation of the citi-
zens of Martinsburg present, and
they all seemed interested in the
matter before them. Messrs. D. G..
Westenhaver, N. D. Baker, Jr., and
j. 81. Shaffer spoke at some
length on plans for the relief of the
Board. There seemed no DISPOSE
tion to have the Board issue bonds
to any amount for the building of
new school houses. The disposition
was rather to have the Board put up
buildings in the future and pay for
them as they are doing in the case
of the Fifth Ward. All felt the
need of more accommodations for
the growing school population, but
the way TO meet the demand was not
suggested. The matter will be
brought before the citizens again in
short time when it is hoped that
feasible plans will be presented.

An Important Event.

On Tuesday evening last, most
interesting and important. event in
1. o. o. F. circles occurred in this
city. The degree of Chivalry was
conferred for the first time in the
state of West Virginia, the recip.
lent being 1t. Col. G V. Rathman,
Department Commander of W. Va,
in connection Herewith receiving
the Grand Decoration of Chivalry
Jewel. This Grand Decoration of
Chivalry is rare one, being only
conferred by order of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge Of the I. o. o. F. The
emblem of the honorary degree
which has been conferred upon him
by the Sovereign Lodge of the /.
o. Q. F. is very pretty medal of
gold, set with precious stones. An
inscription is on the back stating
the significance of the honor. There
are only about fifty such honors
conferred in the United States, and
Mr.. Rathman is justly proud Of
possessing the same.

An Appeal to Patriotism.

companion to the picture of the
Battleship Maine, which was recent
ly given away by the Sunday Press,
and will be an appeal to patriotism.
1t will be larger than the Maine pic
ture, printed in eleven colors, and
will be worth framing. Next Sun
days Press will be so pages with an
eight page comic section in colors,
SO that altogether the offer is re-
markable. The publishers announce
tkat the supply of Philadelphia
pictures is limited, SO that it is well
for everybody to place their orders

No Clue as Yet.

One day last week a package of
clothing was found on the outskirts
of the city, and turned over to the
officers. Upon investigation it was
found the goods had come from the
store of Messrs. j. f. Thompson &
Bro, the Queen street clothiers. 1t
consisted OF spring clothing, under
wear, ties, shirts, hats, and some
other smaller articles. The firm
when approa ched, stated they could
not say who they sold the goods to,
and would be unsble to identify the
purchaser if confronted by him, as
they had sold to more strangers this
year than ever before since they
opened up their spring stock. It is
supposed some mystery surrounds
the matter, but as yet no clue has
been secured.

Serious Accident.


Mr.. Samuel Bombarger, of Church
street, B. &. O. fireman, met with
a very painful accident at Bruins
wick on Sunday morning last. His
engine was at the coal dump receiv.
ing a supply of coal, when for some
reason the engine was run back,
catching Mr.. Bombarger between the
coal chute and the cab of the engine
squeezing him severely. He was
brought to his home in this city,
where he has been in a precarious
condition ever since. We hope to
see him improved in short time.
with speedy restoration to his for.
mer self.

A Pleasant Visitor.

We had the pleasure of a call
from the Rev. w. S. Edwards, of
the M. E. Church, of Hedgesville ,on
Wednesday last. Our people will
remember him as the son of the
Rev. John Edwards, the former
well-known and popular pastor OF
the First M. E. Church, of this
place. We are especially glad TO
fad him hearty and happy, mas
much as at one time he was a stu
dent of law in the EDITORS Office,
which profession he afterwards
abandoned, as did another student,
Rev. Holmes Lamar, for the preach,
ing of the Gospel. We commend
him to the people of his charge as
in every way worthy of their conf
dence.

Halt Century Old.

j. G. Aver & Co., the well known
manufacturers of medicine, have re.
Gently celebrated by way OF a Jubilee
their half century in their line oil
business. Their years have been
fruited with unexampled prosperity,
and have given fat contradiction
to the old theory, "That the life oil
q patent medicine is something less
than two years. They have been
pretty constant advertisers in this
paper, and we have yet to hear any
complaint looking toward the inef-
ficiency of their preparations. A
pleasant social evening was enjoyed
at their jubilee, and the vista OF
years seem to be forecast with q
success that would equal and posi-.
bio excel that Of the past.
