Echoes From the Fair.

The Morgan's Grove fair came to a
successful ending last Friday evening,
the attendance on that day being
greater than usual for Friday. Prof.
McDade made another successful bal
loon ascension in the afternoon, pre-
senting thrilling sight as he was car
ried high up in the air by the monster
balloon made by DR.. Blue Mountain
Joe. He was carried west by the
breeze, and when about half mile
from the grounds he cut loose and
safely descended by means Of his par
achute. The balloon ascensiOns were
a popular feature Of the fair.
The famous Morgan's Grove baby
show attracted the usual large crowd,
and there was much interest in the
awarding of the prizes. II. L. Sny-
der was master of ceremonies, and the
Judges were Mrs. James F. Thompson,
Of Martinsburg, and Mrs. G. W. Moore
and Mrs. J. W. Gardner, of this coun-
ty. While the judges were making
their decision Rev. J. L. KILLER made
a brief address pertinent to the occa-
sion. 1t was an unenviable duty to
choose the prize-winners, and when
the committee had completed its work
it quickly made its escape before the
result was announced. Henry Au-
gustus Seibert, of Kearneysville, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Seibert, was ad-
Judged to be the prettiest baby, and
got the silver cup. The latest baby
was Herman Rimel, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob F. Rimel, of Martinsburg,
who got $2.50in gold. The tiniest
baby, Fanny Paxton Marshall, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Marshall,
Of the Kearneysville neighbOrhoOd,
also received a $3.50 gold piece.
The managers of the fair are well
satisfied with the result of the exhibit
tons. Although there were some OBJ
stacles to contend with, no difficulties
of importance presented themselves,
and the most important matter-the
financial features-are quite satisfac-
tory. After paying all bills there
will be comfortable surplus for i'm
provements and betterments next year.

An old bachelor recently bought a
pair of socks. There was nothing
strange about this, but what makes
the occasion worthy of note was the
fact that he found in the toe Of one Of
them a slip Of paper on which was
written 81 am a young lady OF 20,
and would Ike 10 correspond with a
bachelor with a view to matrlmony,
and signed the address Of the young
lady. After due deliberation our
friend concluded to write to the socks
maker. In few days he got an an
swer to his letter Il was married FIVE
years ago last Christmas. The mer-
chant who sold the socks did not ad-
.ve1tise.-Ercbangs.

The HeSSian Fly.


We have been informed by some OF
our farmer friends that there is great
danger to the next wheat crop TO be
feared from the Hessian fly, which
caused so much damage the past year.
The fly has already made its appear
ance, and volunteer wheat is said to
be filed with it. Some facts concern
ing this pest may be interesting to our
readers:
There are two brOOds of this insect
each year. The winged fly appears
in August and September, and searches
for the young winter wheat to lay its
eggs on, and places them on the leaf
blades, anywhere from one to thirty
on a blade. In four or FIVE days the
eggs hatch and the maggOts crawl
down the blade, enter the sheath and
pass down to the joint. Here they
stay, sucking the juice from the plant
until about the end of November, when
they turn brown and harden. This Is
called the fax-seed stage In this con-
dition they pass the winter. In the
spring, about the middle or end Of
April, they change to the full grown
form, the winged fly. These, at once,
begin to lay their eggs as before, and
the history as already given for the
fall brood is repeated, the flies from
this brood appearing in August and
September to lay the eggs on the win
ter wheat. This, in brief, is the life
history of the Hessian fly.
The fly must be killed or starved.
To kill as many as possible, plant
small piece early, as trap for the fly
TO lay its eggs on, then plOw It under
and thus Kill the eggs from which the
spring brood comes. To starve the fly
do not plOw until about September 20,
so that the fly will die before 1t can
find any wheat to lay its eggs on. If
both these methods are used together
and if all who raise wheat in any re-
gion will work together to do this, but
little trouble from the pest should &C.
cur. Some farmers are following this
plan already, and with good success.
One writes a plant trap piece
early, and my main crop late, and am
never troubled with the fly, while some
Of the farmers near me sometimes lose
one quarter of the crop"

Council Meeting.

The regular meeting of the town
council was held Monday evening,
with all the members present. In re-
spouse to the complaint against the fes-
tivities held at Hartzell's hall, the cor
poration attorney gave his opinion to
the effect that the corporation had no
right to interfere with private proper
ty. N. B. Baker, agent for the Mould
er heirs, was ordered to have the side
walk at the property repaired, and also
to have the space about the hitching
post paved. The street committee re-
ported certain work done, and the
committee was further ordered to put
in a crossing between the college prop
erty and W. N. Sheetz's corner on
King street; a crossing at High street
between the colored church and Jas.
W. Greenwood's dwelling and cross
ings at the alleys at the rear of the Lu-
theran parsonage lot, at the Reformed
parsonage lot, and at DR.. l. S. Tanner
residence. The committee was also
authorized to grade and pave the gut
ter at the Southern Methodist Church
and to lay terra Gotta pipe across
Church street at the Bank corner.
The chief of the fire department re-
ported the apparatus IN good condi-
ton. The recorder reported that hotel
license had been granted to j. NJ. TOl-
iver. It was ordered that members Of
the fire department be exempted from
capitation tax for the year 1898. The
council passed bills to the amount Of
$3.50, and adjourned until next reg
ular meeting night.

The property known as the Poto-
mac Cement Works, mile below Shep-
herdstown, was sold yesterday at pub
lie sale and was purchased by Mr.. II.
w. Blunt, Jr., of Washington, D. c.,
for $3.50. The property comprises
thirteen acres Of land, upon which are
the large brick building used in the
manufacture of cement and several
smaller buildings, quarries, kilhs, ETC.,
including the water right OF the Poto-

rated for the manufacture Of cement
by Major Blunt for many years, but
nothing has been done there for sever
al wears, and in the meantime the
dam across the river has gone to pieces.
We do not know what the plans OF
the new owner are, but We hope that
he may re-establish the old industry
here.

.r, Miss Urna Cummings. The enroll
ment Of students is so, the highest
number at the opening for number
Of years, and IS more than last year.
There are other students yet to be en-
rolled, and the prospects for a success
full years work are encouraging.
The Shepherdstown Graded School
began its sessions on Monday last with
an attendance of 235 pupils, being d.
vided up as follows: Principal c. 7.
Smooth room, 80 Mrs. Ida H. Neil,
so; Miss Bette Byers, So; Miss Ella
Kelsey, 50 Miss Mary Hill, so. The
children are crowded too much in sew
eral Of the rooms, and the figures
show that additional teachers are
needed and that new building must
be provided before many more years.
The colored school opened on Mon
day with an enrolment of so, which
has since been increased to 60. Prin-
cipal Alexander Freeman is in charge
with John Stevenson as assistant.

1t may be interesting TO some Of our
readers to known that in Mount Heb
ron aud Stonewall Cemeteries are
buried the remains of soldiers Of every
war from l776 down to the recent war
with Spain. To commence with there
is General Daniel Morgan, of Revolu-
tiouary fame; next comes the Dutch
mess, some seven or eight in number,
of the war of 1912. The next was the
Mexican war, and there are several
veterans of that engagement whose
remains have found resting place in
these two cemeteries, while hundreds
and hundreds of those who fought IN
the civil war rest side by side. The
last to be inferred were the remains Of
the late Ernest Grim and John r.
Steele. These young men, while not
seeing active service, nevertheless en-
listed for that purpose, and would
have gladly given their service if they
had been called upon WNctcster
Times.

A Reminder Of the War.

Another tragedy Of the civil war
was brought to light yesterday when
Messrs. James Wintermoyer and Chas
Jones came upon the crumbling bones
OF human being on the Maryland
side Of the Potomac at the ford a mile
below shepherdstown. On the river
bank, Just above the water level, they
found the bones Of what was urdoubt-
edly soldier. In the fragments Of
his skull was big three-ringed Con-
federate bullet. The inference is that
he was a Union soldier and was shot
by Confederate on this side Of the
river. The bullet was but slightly
fatteued, showing that it was almost
spent, yet had penetrated his head
with sufficient force to kill him. In
the process of time, probably SO years,
and by the action Of the water when
the river rose, there was nothing left
save the crumbling bones that went TO
pieces at a touch, and a few percus-
sion caps and the fatal bullet.

Barn Burned.

The large barn on the farm Of Mr..
Daniel H. Fulk near Swan Pond,

"Razors In the Air."

Last Saturday night at poker
party in our lively western suburb,
"Philadelphia," a dispute arose over
the jackpot, which contained the hand
some sum of fifty cents. There were
razors in the air in short time, and
thirty or forty of the players and their
friends became engaged in lively
scrap. Sergeant Dunn has warrants
in his pocket for Bill Beaner and John
Smith, the chief participants, but they
have so far managed to elude the off.
