Council Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
town council was held Monday even
ing, with all the members present.
The committee on stone crusher re-
ported that they had examined sec
ond-hand stone crusher which could be
bought for $240, but after discussion

report, including an increase Of $3.50
in personal property, and the tax book
was then turned over to the sergeant.
Th. street committee reported mater
ial on hand for improvements hereto
fore ordered, and was further instruct
ed to have a brick crossing made at
German and King streets between
Bakers store and the Sheetz property.
The committee reported repairs need
ed to certain sidewalks, and it was
ordered that pavement at the Staley
property on Duke street be repaired
and change made in the water drain
at Reformed parsonage. The street
committee was also instructed to look
after pavement at DR.. Tanners prop
erty on Washington street. The
committee on cisteIns and town run
reported that the run had been cleaned,
and was instructed to have repairs
made to cisterns. The recorder re-
ported that hotel licenses had been
granted to D. L. Rentch, Mrs. Lee h.
Moler and J. NJ. Toliver. The fire
equipment was eported to be in good
order. Complaint was made concern
ing telephone poles lying on the streets,
and a representative Of the company
promised to have them removed.
Bills to the amount of $70.05 were
ordered paid, and the council ad-
journed.

"Buck" left Shepherdstown for Bal
timore for the purpose of making his
fortune. Buck knows a good deal

bright colored boy, but he doesn't
know much about railroad travel and
city ways. Uncle Jesse, who is reg

in Middletown, Pa, and Washington
City, and never got lost, loaded him
down with instructions as to how he
was to reach his destination and how
he was to comport himself when he got
to the great city. Buck went around
town and told his friends goodbye.
never expecting to see them until he
had gotten as famous as Fred Douglass.
When he got as far as Hagerstown
he very promptly took the B. x O..
train for Baltimore instead of the
Western Maryland as he had been in
structed, and while his folks awaited
him at Union station he stepped off
the cars in the noise and hustle of Cam
den station. No one was there to
meet him, and his heart was getting
well down toward his toes when he
saw the familiar face of former resi-
dent of Shepherdstown. No ship
wrecked sailor ever hailed a rescuing
party with more gladness than did
Buck this unexpected friend. he pro-
duced the card upon which was writ
ten his city address, and street car
soon landed him safely at the door.
Next morning he started to see the
sights Of the neighborhood. He had
not gotten out of Cat Alley before he
was approached by several ill-man-
nered city coons with chips on their
shoulders and defiant language on
their lips. Buck made mastery re-
treat, for he wanted to have no dis
turbance with such trash. When he
next came out he was met by another
gang, who announced their ability to
lick any niger from West Virginia
that should confront them. There was
nothing in Uncle Jesses instructions
to meet such inhospitable treatment as
this, and it took only few days for
Buck to get thoroughly homeslck.
His disgust with city life became so
great that he determined to pull for
Shepherdstown, dead or alive. He was
ready to walk but seeing his inaPtitude
for city life his relatives paid his fare
home again, and he is therefore once
more happy on his native heath. I'm
Gle Jesse said he knew it would turn
out this way.

The College Commencement.

We have heard the opinion frequent
ly expressed the past week that the
exercises connected with the COM
mencement of Shepherd College State
Normal School were among the most
interesting and enjoyable that have
ever been held in this place. Our
school has never been in better con-
dition, and there is a most noticeable
Improvement in every department Of
its work. 1t is vast benefit to the
people of this part of the State, and
they should appreciate it even more
than they do. It's faculty, which is
composed of Prof. A. c. Kimler, prin-
cipal, Prof. J. C. Miller, Miss Harriet
johnson, Miss Mary McConn and Mr..
A. W. Porterfeld, with Miss Cum
mings as the music teacher, is most
excellent one, and its equipment is
frst-class. The school is growing in
numbers and usefulness-let all our
people heartily support it.
