ANNOUNCEMENT is made elsewhere
in these columns of Hon. B. D. Gibson
as a candidate for the Legislature to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr.. R. w. Morrow. Mr., Gibson,
we are sure, will be entirely accept
able to the people of the county for
this honor, and Shepherdstown will
heartily endorse him. He has been
in the Legislature before, and his ex-
perience in legislative affairs and his
wide acquaintance with public men
in the State will give him an inhu-
ence that will serve his constituents
well. His personal ability and integ-
rity will be, as they have ever been,
a guarantee that he will reflect credit
upon his county and party. We are
glad to note his candidacy, and hope
there may be no opposition to him.
The county Democratic executive
committee will meet in Charlestown

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can
not reach the seat Of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure

the blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure is not quack medicine.
1t was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years,
and is a regular prescription. II is com
posed of the best tonics known, com
bined with the best blood purifiers, act

CHRISTMAS.

The best and happiest time of all
the year is at hand-the greatest fes-
tival to saint and sinner, for its joy is
for all and its good cheer is universal.
Whether or not men follow the teach
ings of the little child that was born
on Christmas day nineteen hundred
years ago, they are all affected by the
festival that commentaries his birth.
The beauty and grandeur of the SIM
pie announcement made by the angels
to the wandering shepherds, "On
earth peace, goodwill to men, is still
the grandest inspiration of the human
race, and its glory grows as the years
roll on.
Christmas is more than sentiment
it is living, vital force, inspiring
to nobler deeds and purer thoughts ;
it softens the hardening or the hard
ened hearts; it inspires the tenderest
love; it teaches anew the unselfsh
doctrine that it is more blessed to
give than to receive; it makes friend
ships warmer; in myriad ways, many
unseen and but to few revealed, it
brings peace on the earth and to men
goodwill.
Let US all make the most of this
Christmas season. Let us put from
us all strife, all hatred, all unchari-
tableness, all envying, all unkindness,
and for the sake of the Christ child
who was born on Christmas day let
us do what 'ce can to bring peace on
the earth and good will to men.

TIE average trust never has the
slightest conjunction in putting the
screws upon the people to the limit,
but when it comes to being squeezed
itself, why, that's an outrageous thing.
Armour & Co is one of the most scan
dalous of trusts, because it EFFORTS un-
reasonable prices for its meat products
which are a necessary article to 50
many millions. The Salt Trust is
just about as bad, and since it has
gotten into good working order it
has been so rapacious that even the
Armours couldn't stand it any longer
and they have bought salt mine Of
their own. They will get their salt
$l.55 barrel cheaper than the trust
will sell it, saving at least $25O,OOO
a year. It's case of dog eat dog,
though the only thing the public gets
out OF the fight is little fun.
