We doubt if any person has ever
-een "a worse snow storm in Shepherds
own and this part OF West Virginia
han that which prevailed from Sat
uriay afternoon until Monday night.
There was ffty-odd hours of showing
without one minutes iutermission
In The quantity of snow that fell, the
irrcenrss OF the wind that drove II and
rhe manner in which it was drifted into
.Ipat banks, it was truly remarkable
spell of weather. II will not be for
gotten in two generations. The SHOWS
Of the previous week had not melted
particle, and there was fully eight
inches on the ground last Saturday
afternoon when the first fakes slowly
lrifted down as forerunncrs of the
great storm that was to follow. Be-
tween three o'clock and four the snow
began--very gently and unobtrusively,
with little indication of what was be-
hind. The weather representations at
Washington had prophesied probably
hight snow" but Will Hill, the local
weather prophet from Fingerboard
Woods, had spoken authoritatlvely
Saturday morning from his seat on a
nail keg in Licklider's store, and said
that the biggest sort of snow storm
WAS coming within the next two days.
The result has established his reputa-
ton so firmly that it will be idle for
any one to cavil at his predictions
hereafter. and it is conceded that he
gained great victory over the wealth
er bureau.
The snow continued all through
Saturday night, and when folks awoke
Sunday morning they found it still
coming down persistently. The con-
gregations at the various churches
were small. Only a few persons
braved the weather and attended wor-
ship. All day long the snow contin-
ued, and although once in while it
would slacken bit, as if it meant to
stop, it would not quit entirely.
When the night came on the town
settled down into dead silence, the
fakes still noiselessly adding to the
great sheet of white that enveloped
the earth. Up to this time the
snow had not been accompanied by

we're unprovided with food and fuel

were unprovided with food and fuel
sufficient to relieve the barest neces-
sites. The people Of Shepherdstown,
always kind hearted and helpful, with
one accord started TO relieve those in
want, and at much personal discom-
fort the needy were hunted up and
succored. The regular relief COM
mittee of the town began to respond
TO calls upon it last week. Saturday
and Sunday several very distressing
cases were found and relieved. In
one home there was but handful of
cornmeal for father, mother and little
children clothing was so pitifully de-
icient that some of the children had
to remain in bed in vain effort to
keep warm, while others chung around
the little stove that was but scantily
supplied with fuel. Food, clothing
and fuel were quickly sent to the fam
ily and they were made quite COM
Portable. Monday afternoon public
meeting was called in the council room
by Mayor Harrison, which was at
tended by a number of our charitabIy
inclined people Mayor Harrison pre-
sided and R bert Gibson was chosen
secretary. The best methods of help
ing the needy were discussed and var
ious suggestions adopted. The meet
ing passed resolution requesting the
council to appropriate fifty dollars as
relief fund. Monday morning
meeting of the council was held, and
the fifty dollars was promptly apPro'
priated, to be expended under the d.
lection of the relief committee. At
the request of the committee an addl-
tional committee was appointed to as
sist in the work. Tie council named
J. D. Blllmyer, Chas T. Smooth and
Henry s. Baker, and these gentlemen
at once went to work with a will and
rendered valuable service. Ia addi-
ton to the organized work, many per-
sons were individual committees on
their own account, and spent their
lime and money in relieving the ne
cessities of their less fortunate fellow
men.
