" ABSOLUTELY PURE
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome

The Baltimore Sun says that prices
of all lines of goods sold by nursery
men will in the near future be adj
vanced at least so per cent. Joseph
Davis, OF the Franklin Davis Nursery,
who has Just returned from the con-
veution of nurserymen at Chicago, Is
given as authority. As an instance
of the promised advance, it is said that
pear trees, which formerly sold to the
wholesale trade in carload lots for $40
a thousand, will now cost $3.50 thou
sand. Apple trees, which have been
sold in the same way as low as $50
thousand, cannot be obtained for less
than $50 thousand. There is also to
be a sharp advance in peach trees,
which have sold to the wholesale trade
in carload lots as low as SIS thou
sand, but will now cost SIS thou
sand. In smaller lots the prices will
be greater.

Morgan's Grove Matters.

On Tuesday meeting Of the Off
GERS and advisory members Of the
Morgan's Grove Fair Association was
held at the new grounds at Fountain
Rock, near Shepherdstown. A con-
siderable number of gentlemen, repre-
senting various sections of the coun-
ty, were present. After an appetiz-
ing lunch had been served by the Ia
dies, Dr. Reynolds, president of the
association, announced the object Of
the gathering, which was to consider
plans and suggestions for the general
welfare of the exhibition and the best
methods of interesting the people of
this and adjoining counties. 1t was
stated that the directors desired to is
sue one thousand shares of additional
stock, par value FIVE dollars. This
sum would be sufficient to pay for the
new grounds and the improvements
contemplated. a discussion of the
matter was participated in by the gen.
tlemen present, and it was agreed to
make an effort to secure at once the
sum needed. Subscription books were
started then and there, and good
block of stock was subscribed for. Ar
rangements were made to have can
vassers wait upon the people Of Jetfer-
son and adjoining counties.
We hope that the people will be
liberal in subscribing for the stock.
The fair has proven itself to be an
enjoyable and profitable feature of
rural life, and the efforts to further in
crease its usefulness should be en-
couraged. Those who have heretofore
invested in the stock have been well
paid in cash dividends and privileges
equivalent to cash. The property re-
Gently acquired will, We believe, when
improved be well worth the amount
at which it is capitalized. The in
vestment will, therefore, be a sound
one financially, besides being a public
benefit.

Beachley-KanOde.

D>aShASJ
st. Johns Episcopal Church, Ripon,
was the scene Of a beautiful and at
tractive wedding Wednesday evening.
The church was filled to its utmost ca
pacity with friends. Exactly at 7.45
o'clock the bridal procession entered
the church to the sweet strains of Lo-
hengrin's wedding march, beautifully
rendered by Miss Katie Shewbridge,
of Summit Point, and proceeded to
the altar, which was beautifully and
tastefully decorated with potted and
cut flowers, where the rector, Rev. Il.
G. England, united in the holy bonds
of wedlock Mr.. Edward Lester Beach
ley, young business man of Manassas,
Va, and Miss Ellen Rebecca, eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. W. Ka-
node, of Ripon. The bride was at
tired in dotted swiss. over silk, with
white ribbons, and carried white car
nations and a handsomely bound
prayer book, presented by her pastor,
from which the ceremony was per-
formed. The maid of honor, Miss
Lulu NJ. Kanode, sister of the bride,
was attired in dotted swiss, over silk,
with pink ribbons, and carried pink
carnations. The two flower girls, lit
tie Misses Eleanor Osborne and Esther
West, performed their part to perfec-
ton, entering the church just in front
of the bride, each carrying a basket
of lovely flowers, which they strewed
in her path upon leaving the chancel.
Mr.. John Smith, of Bolivar, Nd, cous-
in of the groom, acted as best man.
The ushers were Messrs. John c. Ka
node, brother of the bride, and F. n.
Snyder. The bride was given away
by her brother, Mr.. W. H. Kanode.
Immediately after the ceremony the
happy couple were driven to the sta
ton, and after receiving congratula-
tons Of their many friends, took the
8.45 train over n. & w. Railroad for
Hagerstown and other points. Mr..
and Mrs. Beachley were the recipients

ents and will make their future home

Sudden Death of Mrs. Cameron.

Mrs. Bette Cameron, widow OF
Henry Cameron, died very suddenly
yesterday afternoon about one o'clock
of heart failure. She had been in fail
ing health for a long time, but the end
came very Unexpectedly. She had
just finished dinner, when she re-
marked that she felt very badly, and
as she seemed to become quite i'll a
physician was sent for. Before he
arrived, however, she had expired.
Mrs. Cameron, who was about IS
years of age, is survived by one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ella Billmyer, and broth
er, Mr.. John B. Hendricks. She was
lifelong resident of this vicinity,
and possessed the respect and esteem
of all who knew her. She was for
many years a member of the Metho-
dist church.
The funeral will be held at her late
home Friday afternoon at half-past
two o'clock.

The Glorious Fourth.

The fourth of July was celebrated
in Shepherdstown with rather more
spirit than usual, particularly after
dark, when there was a fusilade of
frecrackers and displays of fireworks
that made the streets lively until near
midnight. A number of persons went
to Martinsburg, where there was quite
an extensive celebration-a creditable
parade and public speaking in the
afternoon, music by the bands, and
sham battle. At night there was a
fine display of fireworks.
One of the pleasant events connect
ed with the celebration Of the glori-
Gus fourth was the entertainment CIV
en- by Mr.. Frank W. Muzzey and
his estimable family and Mr.. and the
Misses Schley at hospitable "Rock-
land, near town. In anticipation OF
the usual enjoyable evening, number
of friends from town and neighbors
from the county gathered there about
dusk, and for couple OF hours were
entertained with very beautiful dis
play of fireworks. Every variety of
pyrotechnics was displayed to the ad-
miring throng, and when this part of
the programme was ended delicious
refreshments were served. The kind
hearted folks at Rockland, ever genial
and hospitable, have the satisfaction
of knowing that they contributed
greatly to the pleasure of a great many
of their friends, who appreciate
thoroughly their generosity.

They Need Never Come Back Any More

They Need Never Come Back ANY More.
A few days ago social function
was arranged for by the ladies and
gentlemen of Shepherdstown, and
among others who were invited were
a number of young men from Hagers-
town. The condition in which they
made their appearance here was dis
grace to themselves and an insult to
those who had invited them. We
cannot understand their reasons for
such grossly improper conduct, for
though some of them were quite cal
low, they all appeared to be old enough
to behave decently. fit is their habit
to present themselves at HagerstOwn
dances in such silly, drunken condi-
ton, and to publicly guzzle liquor,
then the people of Hagerstown must
indeed be long-suherlng, to say the
least. If, on the other hand, they re-
serve such conduct for their excursions
to Virginia, with the idea that their
gross improperly will not be distaste-
full to our people, their ofense is still
greater, and we advise them to return
here no more but to confne them
selves to the Bowery. They evident
ly do not know how to conduct them
selves in polite society. In the Opin-
ion of many persons these HagerstOwn-
ers were the toughest gang that has
bee here in recent years.
