boarded, new fence been built around
the lot and a new porch made at the
front, and a nice brick pavement re-
places the old stone sidewalk. 1t is
nice-looking place now.
The great strike in the anthracite
coal regions has not yet caused any
advance in the price Of coal here, but
there's no telling when an increase
may be made. There has been a
heavy advance in bitumiuous coal
since last season, and dealers here are
selling lump coal at $4.75 to S. ton
the highest price that has ever been
known here.
The other day couple of Hebrew
peddlers who had been doing business
in this place for couple Of months
concluded to sell their horse and
wagon. They were offered SIS for
the outfit, but they refused it and de-
termined to sell at public sale. When
the proceeds Of the sale were added
up they had but $62.45. Their hearts
were almost broken.
The dry spell was broken last Sat-
urday by a gentle but persistent rain
that began about noon and continued
until after midnight-a rain that
couldn't have been better suited to
the needs of the people if it had been
made to order. 1t put the ground in
nice condition for seeding, filed the
cisterns, replenished the streams and
gave new life to vegetation. Monday
the first cool breeze for a couple Of
months came along and ended the
hottest summer that has ever been
known in this section. The heat had
been continuous since July, and the
change was most welcome one.
Z. H. Reinhart and his sons R.
Lucien and Edward L., R. c. Ring
gold and DR.. A. S. Reynolds have
formed a company, the firm name Of
which is Ringgold, Reinhart & Co.,
to carry on the wholesale drug bust
ness. The REGISTER referred to the
company last week and expressed the
hope that it might be located in Shep-
herdstown. But after full considera-
ton of the matter it has been decided
to locate the firm in Cumberland, Nd,
and the new firm will be at once es-
tablished in that city. R. Lucien
Remnant will manage the business
there and R. c. Ringgold and Edward
L. Reinhart will travel for the house.
We hope that the new enterprise may
be fully as successful as its projectors
