The wheat market has been booming

A very enjoyable reception was CIV
en- in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Needy, who were married the day
previous, on Thursday evening last at
the home of the groom's parents, west
of town. A large number of persons
were present, and the occasion was one
of much pleasure.
We call especial attention to the ad-
vertisement of Mr.. G. E. Rutherford,
elsewhere in this paper. Mr.. Ruther-
ford has one of the best well-boring
outfits in this section, and has given
great satisfaction in this line of work.
He also handles pumps, wind-wheelS
and machinery supplies. We advise
persons who intend to have wells bored
to see him.
Mr.. Samuel Hendricks has resigned
as manager of Mr.. George S. Knots
store at Moler's Cross Roads, and Mr..
J. S. Reinhart is temporarily in charge.
Mr.. Knott has engaged Mr.. Charles
Carter to run the store, beginning the
first of April, and Mr.. Carter will take
his postoflice with him when he as
sumes charge. 1t is said that Mr.. j..
S. Remnant will take the stand vaca-
ted by Mr. Carter and carry stock Of
general merchandise.
The officials of Elmwood Cemetery
are making an improvement that we
are sure Will be appreciated by the
public generally. They are having a
stone pavement laid along the front of
the Lee property from the cemetery to
the alley at the edge of town, thus
closing up a gap of bad sidewalk, or,
rather, no sidewalk, that has long been
an annoyance. We hope this improve
ment will be the means Of causing 9TH
ers to go and do likewise.
A dispatch from Charlestown to the
Baltimore Herald of Monday says: a
rumor is afoat to the effect that Con-
gresham Dayton and Senator Elkins
will recommend W. A. Boyd fol- post
master at this place in the next few
weeks. Some time last summer Mr..
Dayton and Mr.. Elkins decided to rec
ommend L. D. Getzendanner, a hard
ware merchant, for the position, and 1t
has been authoratively stated that MIR.
Getzendanner has had positive promise

Mr.. NJ. Shepherd, the accommoda-
ting and clever agent for H. E. Buck
len & Co., medicine manufacturers, OF
Chicago, was in Shepherdstown Mon
day. He made contract with the
REGISTER for the advertising OF his
goods, which will be handled by
Reinhart's Pharmacy. We commend
Mr.. Shepherd to our brethren Of the
press as reliable gentleman and first
class business man, with whom it is a
pleasure to deal.
A fine monument for the Reynolds
HolIda lot in Elmwood Cemetery has
lust been completed by the Shepherds
town Marble and Granite Works. This
memorial is beautiful in its simplicity.
With nearly three tons Of the finest
marble, shaped into perfect proportion
and finished throughout in excellent
style, the monument is one that will
always be admired. Mr.. Bowman has
orders for several large monuments to
20 to Charlestown early in the spring.
The balmy and spring.like weather
that prevailed last week and part OF
this was suddenly terminated Tuesday
evening, when a fierce gale swOoped
down from the north and kept up a
steady roar all night and yesterday
The temperature dropped below freez-
| ing point in short time, and winter

ripped half of the tin roof from the
colored Methodist church, and also
took part Of the roof from Mr.. Henry
Magaha's house. Tuesday night was
a wild one.
