The Quality cf Real Uun.

One man said TO another in an ele-
waited car about something that he had
lust read, "Now, that is actually fun
nv, and then he read il over again.
The inference from this is, Ct course,
that many of the things written in fun
are not really funny, and, making due
allowance for lack of appreciation, it rs
doubtless true that much Of the matter
written as fun actually does lack the
true spark. 1t may be well inteutioned,
good natured, even cheerful, and yet
lack the peculiar filling, satisfying, en-
ergizing, refreshing, uplifting quality

Hon. B. B. Dovener. of the First
District, has opposition for renomi-
nation in the persons of Judge Camp
bell and Hon. B. +, Meigher In
our opinion Mr. Doverner has earned
another term. Were we in that Dis
trict, we should most heartily support
him. At this distance, we give him
a word of cheer and call attention to
the fact that prominent member OF
the Rivers and Harbors Committee
he can do more to secure the greatest
need Of the District-improvement OF
the Ohio River-than any new man,
no matter how bright Mr. Dovener
should not only be renominated but
reelected by an increased majority.
His defeat this year may set back the
we'll begun Improvement for man
years, which would be a large price
to pay for gratifying the ambition o.
another, no matter how worthy, OF
for satiating the disgruntlement o.
disappointed seekers after post Of.
fees. BY all means return the plucky
veteran who, during his entire career
has been true Republican.

skins after she has made her pies and

is fragrant toilet water which is bene-

LEND A HAND.

During the past five years we have
been publishing the Herald. To car
nv it through has been severe task.
1t has cost much labor and cash, much
more than we have received in return.
At no time has there been any falter-
ing. We have hewn to the line and
upheld the banner of Republication
at all times. Party dissentions have
been diseountenanced and smoothed
over. fractional fights are at all
times suppressed. The Herald is
always aggressive, always in the front
rank. It is our intention to keep it
there, but we need aid. 1t should be
in many more homes. Hundreds
read ii each week who have not con-
tributed to its support. There are
other hundreds who should read it.
Always clean and reliable, always
supplying all the news, general and
local, 1t is a real necessity.
We this week send sample copies
to quite number who are not now
subscribers and thus extend cordial
invitation to become constant readers.
Until the close OF the present volume
the price will be but 81 90 cash in adj
vance. After that time it may cost
more owing to the advance in the
price of paper
Let all who can join us do so at once
and let those in arrears settle up in
full and year in advance and our
word for it, there will be no regrets.

Clarksburg is also to have free de-
livery. 1t is the logical result of hav-
ing an energetic postmaster, which
that thriving little city has in the per-
son OF Hon. Stuart F. Reed. Having
only about two-fitths of the popula-
ton of Martinsburg, the receipts OF
the post office at Clarksburg are
greater by nearly two thousand dol
lars. The Herald most heartily con
graduates our sister city on having
secured the services OF Mr.. Reed
whose selection is due to the never
falling sagacity of Hon. Bla ckburn B.

AFTER FIVE YEARS.

ment that the past five years have
not been the greatest in the history
Of this city should look through this
issue Of the Herald and note changes
for the better that have occurred
Five years have elapsed since The
present management took charge O
the Herald and it is possible we arc
better qualified to write Of Martins
burg as it was and is than almost any
other person. There has been i'm
provement in the streets, sidewalks,
houses, schools, churches, stores,
misunderstanding TIL i
makes for the better Five years age
the big Rothwell. Lovett Cannery, the
Auburn Wagon Works and the Brook.
! lyn Brass Works had not been thought
of. The Kiibourn Knitting Machine
Co. s plant was in embryo and the
| Crawford Wooden Mill was but a
small affair. Now both are complete
establishments, the first being second
to none in the world. Numerous ele-
CANT residences and many splendid
business blocks have been erected.
One singular fact is that although we
have added largely to the population
of Cumberland, Brunswick and Balti-
more, we have gone on building
houses, summer and winter, yet there
are fewer vacant houses here now
than when we came FIVE years ago.
The newspapers of the town have
advanced. Readers are given more
and better quality of reading mat.
ter. The schools have pushed into
the very forefront, as if Coward and
Upward" is their motto. The ward
schools are nearly as far advanced as
the high school was then, and still
the movement is onward. There is a
better attendance, too. Glasses are
larger. Complaints were that 'our
boys leave school too soon. This
year will witness the graduation of
the largest class in the history of the
town and at least half are young men.
We might go on indefinitely enum-
Grating the steps OF progress but it is
not necessary as our columns this
week attest that fact.
1t should be remembered that all OF
these things have been done during
a season of great financial depression.
Had times been good, more could have
been accomplished. Having succeed
ed so we'll under such adverse circum-
stances, the future should look decid-
edly rosy. There is coming a season
of great prosperity. 1t is here now,
in fact has been here for year past,
but with the conclusion OF the war,
this country will enjoy a boom such
as the world has never known. I'm.
mense sums of money are being
thrown into circulation and it will
find a place to invest. Martinsburg
must bestir herself and reap her share
of the mighty harvest. Our effort
this week is in that direction. Scat
