We have received copies of the
Waynesboro Herald, a bright and
sparkling new daily that is credit
to that thriving Pennsylvania town.
N. Bruce Martin is its capable editor.
Our friend John W. Merchant, of
Rocky Marsh, has our thanks for
basket Of very nice apples. We do
not believe that apples get better any
place in this section than Mr.. Mer-
chants.
Some newspapers are absolutely
reckless in their statements. Here's
the Williamsport Leader making the
ridiculous assertion that there are
more pretty girls in Williamsport than
there are in Shepherdstown.
A very enjoyable dance was given
last night at the home of Mrs. Alice
Moler, near Bakerton. A large and

this county and other places was pres
ent and spent a merry evening.

festival in the church yard on the
evenings of August % and "a. The
public is cordially invited to attend.

served.
The Hagerstown Morning Herald
has treated itself to handsome new
dress of type, and its typographical
appearance is equal to its admirable

Herald is frstrate paper in every
respect.

The ceremony took place at the home

was performed by Rev. Thomas Dun
away.
The Potomac river rose some yes
terday and got muddy once more, the
result of heavy rains above Cumber-
land. The bass will be undisturbed
for few days, but as bait has been
exceedingly scarce they have not been
bothered much even when the water
was clear.
1t seems as if nothing can prevent
big corn crop in this section this
year, The ears are beginning to hang
over in a way that indicates good,
solid corn and plenty Of it. And the
best part of it is that prices promise
to be high. Dealers are paying So
cents bushel for old corn now.
We will have to withdraw our COM
mendation of Weather Prophet Hill
at least temporarily. He predicted
rain for Tuesday last without any
qualification, and naturally a good
many folks thought it useless to pre-
pare for the picnic on that day.
And the skies were bright and never
drop fell.

family overlooked the fact that Mr..
Knott had made his three sons, Geo.
NJ, S. T. and VIM. j. Knott, execu-
tors of his will, with the provision
that no bond be required, This was
a tribute to their integrity and bust
ness capacity that must be gratifying
to these gentlemen.
