On Thursday last the Reformed re-
union was held at Pen-Mar and those
who attended from this place had
all kinds of trouble on the way on ac-
count Of a wreck on the Western Mary
land Railroad, some of them not ar
irving at that place until the afternoon,
and others failed to get home until

Miss Elma Trussell, of Loudoun
county, Va, who is a graduate of Shop
herd College and who has successfully
taught in this county for several years,
has been appointed principal of the
Kearneysville graded school. Mr..
Clarence Thompson, who graduated
from Shepherd College in June, has
been chosen as assistant.
Rev. A. A. P. Neel, county super
intendent of free schools, has been APP
pointed teacher of the Shepherd Grade

Frank Turner, who will teach the Ba-
kerton school. Among the teachers

Mr.. J. Edgar Osbourn has opened
a photograph gallery at Shenandoah
Junction, and has an excellent outfit
for the business. He Will make pho
tos at the low price of dollar doz-
en-, cabinet size, for the first fifteen
days. He also furnishes crayon por-
traits, and will do any work in his
line. We hope he may be well patron
lied.
We call attention to a card in anoth-
er column from Middleway urging
Mr. J. P. Kearfott to become a can
didate for county commissioner. Mr..
Kearfott Will not oppose Mr., Strider
in the primaries, but has been pre-
vailed upon to become candidate
should the nomination be rendered
him. Possessing every qualification
for the position Mr.. Kearlott would
make an ideal and we believe a sue
cessful candidate.

eran Church will hold lawn festival

tographs, taken in childhood, Of well
known Shepherdstown people. The
first pIize in this contest is hand
some silver cake basket, donated by
Mr.. a. L. Beaumont, the jeweler, and
the second fine umbrella from Mr..
NJ. B. Baker. They are on exhibition
in Mr.. Beaumont's window.
The management of the Morgan's
Grove fair has made a considerable in
crease in the amount Of cash premiums
offered in the live stock department,
We think it will pay, both directly
and indirectly, our farmers to get a
premium list and get their stock in
condition to exhibit at the approach
ing fair. The money prizes are well
worth striving for, and the advertise
ment a farmer gets for his stock will
pay for the trouble Mr.. E. Rush
Turner Is superintendent Of this de-
partment, and will be glad to give
any information to prospective exhibit
tors.
