ject Of temperance in the town hall
last Sunday evening. He spoke to
a large audience, which enjoyed his
address considerably.
A considerable number of our SUBJ
scribers have responded to the bills
sent them recently, but there are still
a number who are yet to be heard
from. Pay up before your paper is
stopped and your account given to a
collector.
Mr.. A. Byrne Hurst, a well-known
young farmer of this county, and Miss
Florence Estelle Sohl, of Baltimore,
were married last Saturday at the
home Of the bride, 1900 West Fayette
street, the ceremony being performed
by Rev. E. K. Bell. After wedding
trip north they will reside near Charles
Town.
A number of the people of Berry
vile have organized the Village I'm
provement Association, the object of
which is to keep the town clean and
healthy and to improve it by plant
ing trees and adjoining it in various
ways. This is an excellent thing and
We should like to see similar organi-
zatiOn in Shepherdstown.
Miss Rena Stonebraker and Mr..
Frank Rohde, both of New York, were
married in that city Monday night of
this week. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. G. Armand Miller at
the parsonage of the Evangelical
Church of the Holy Trinity. The
bride is a former resident of Shep-
herdstown, and her friends here ex-
tend their best wishes.
Mr.. j. E. Rentch, soldier in the
regular army from Shepherdstown,
has returned from several years SER
vice in the Philippines and is now in
California. Mr.. Rentch is mighty
glad to be back in the United States.
The day after his company left Ma
Mia orders were sent to have 1t re-
main until next spring, but luckily
they were out of reach and on their
homeward way.
Poor Bill Blue is the victim of hard
luck. Since Shepherdstown has been
dry Bill has deserted the town and
bestowed his patronage upon Martins
burg. Several weeks ago he got over
loaded and was sent to Jail for 20 days.
Monday his time was up, and he
thought it not improper to celebrate
the happy event The liquor he used
overcame him to such an extent that
he was again arrested and put behind
the bars for 80 days more.
The Sons of Veterans, the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy and the Con-
federate Veterans of Shepherdstown
are arranging for what will doubtless
be an interesting bazaar and series of
entertainments in the town hall dur
ing Christmas week. All three or
CARNATIONS willunite in the affair and
committees are now at work. Sup
pers will be served and performances
will be given each evening. Further
particulars will be published later.
Quite number of Shepherdstown
folks were taken in last Saturday night
by an alleged stereopticon exhibition
which is said to have been managed
by Hagerstowners. 1t purported to
be scenes connected with the shooting
and subsequent death Of President
Mckinley, and might possibly have
been pathetic had it not been so ride
ulously bad. Angels in golf suits
were not exactly conducive to solem-
nifty, and the lecturer should be very
thankful that he was not molested.
Those who paid quarter to see the
show feel pretty sore.
Rev. J. P. Essex, pastor Of the Bap-
fist church at Leetown, this county,
and Miss Lois Ethelyn Eley, of Isle
of Wight county, Va, were married
on October 10th. The wedding was
} to have taken place on Octo Der oath,
but on account of the death of the
brides father, Mr.. Josephus Eley, on
October 9th, the date was changed and
the ceremony quietly performed as
above stated. Rev. and Mrs. Essex
came to Leetown, and last week were
again startled and saddened by news
OF the death of Mrs. Eley, which oc-
Cured on October 31st. The double
affection is very distressing, and the
bereaved ones have the sympathy of
their friends.
Last Saturday night cigar-maker
from Shenandoah Junction came to
Shepherdstown to have some sport,
and in festive moment drove off with
Wilbur Cofinbergsr horse and buggy.
He came in collision with fence at
the depot and broke the shafts of the
buggy. Mr.. Cofinberger arrested him
on his own hook and turned him over
to Sergeant Maddox, who hailed him
before Magistrate Rentch. The juno
tionite was pretty drunk until Sergeant
Maddox threatened to lock him up IN
Jail, when he got sober all of a sudden,
He was allowed to 60 home after he
had paid for repairs to the buggy and
the costs of his arrest and hearing.
More than two hundred guests
were present at the reception tender
ed Mrs. J. Walter Barnes last Tues
day evening, at Willard Hall by the
local w. G. T. u, which was most
