Out for a walk with Nature,
Out to the hills and streams.
out where the sunshine drifts and Sits
through the leaves and tints your
dreams,
Out where the airs Of the mountains
A breath OF the snow brings down,
Out Wnere the pine trees scent the breeze,
Out OF the sweltering town! r..
Into thy arms, o Nature,
Take me again, I pray,
And fill my. heart with the old delight
I knew when a boy at play.
Lean over me cool and tender,
And quiet me with thy calm;
My passions quell with thy magic spell
And heal my wounds with thy balm.
For am thy child, O Nature,
Born, nurtured and reared with thee;
And the rush and heat of the throbbing
street
To me are an agony.
In the crowd of my kind I'm lonely,
But voice In my spirit sings
A song Of glee when I dwell with thee
And talk with the soul of things.
I'm sick to death, o Nature
I'm sick of the sordid strife,
I'm sick. of the greed and the grinding
need,
The cheats and the .deceits of life,
10 renew my faith again.
To regain the good In the solitude
I've lost in the haunts of men,
AS man athirst, O Nature. ..
BY thy cooling springs l kneef:
And deep souldraught by my lips is
4 water whose touch will heal.
AS man who - weary Of doubling
From the worlds unfaith fee,
To grasp thy hand and to understand
The God that's revealed in thee.

County Court Proceedings.

From the Advocate of Friday we
get the following notes Of the proceed
ings of the County Court, in session at
Charles Town last week The first
days business of the term was occu-
pied largely with a consideration Of
the public roads and turnpikes Of the
county. In the matter of the petition
asking for the abolition Of toll-gates
on the Summit Point and Berryville
turnpike, no action was taken, the
subject being continued until the next
term of court. John B. Page, former
superintendent of the Charles Town
and Berryville turnpike, reported a
balance in his hands of $44 so, which
was ordered to be paid to the sheriff.
The proposed change of road running
from the old Roper mill in Charles
Town district was taken W, and Benz.
E. Beavers and County Commissioner
Hefebower were appointed to locate
the new road through the Sublette
farm. The change when made will
shorten the distance from the Berry
vile turnpike to the farm lands in the
vicinity Of the Roper mill. Thos. E..
Sublette has agreed to donate the land
for the new road through his place,
the only expense to which the county
will be subjected being for the fencing.
Court resumed its work on Thurs
day morning, after an intermisslon OF
two days. Zeph Baue resigned as
road supervisor in Precinct No. 3,
Charles Town district, and c. G. Conk-
Ign was named to succeed him. A
change was also made in Precin2t No.
2 of Shepherdstown district, James B.
Lucas resigning. T. j. Link was APP
pointed supervisor in his place. The
valuation of railroad property belong
ing to the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
in this county, assessed by the State
Board of Public Works, was appor-
toned among the districts of the coun-
ty as follows:

Big Fire In Shepherdstown.

About 9 o'clock Monday night the
changing of the fire bell announced IN
unmistakable tones that another fire
was in progress in Shepherdstown,
and few moments later everybody
knew that it was to be big one. w.
N. Lemons warehouse and elevator,
at the foot of New street, was ahre,
and the flames had such start when
discovered that there was little hope
of saving the building and its valua-
BILE contents. When first seen the blaze
was reaching from the ground floor to
the roof on the south end. The ire
had evidently originated in the engine
room, and had probably been burning
for a considerable time before it was
noticed. The fremen and a large
crowd of persons were soon about the
building, which was quickly envel-
oped in flames on every side. Fortu-
nately the fire started at the opposite
end from the Office, and the books
were safely gotten out. A car that
had Just been loaded with wheat was
pushed out of danger on the side track.
Before the fremen got stream OF wa
ter the coal-bins south of the elevate or
caught fire, and they were entirely
consumed. Luckily there was very
little coal in them-perhaps about
twenty tons. The Toulouse OF the
Norfolk g. Western Railway, small
frame structure, was also burned,
though most of the contents were got
ten out.
The elevator contained about $500
bushels of wheat and about LOCO
bushels of corn. Part of this had
been bought by Mr., Lemen, but con-
siderable portion had been placed IN
the bins on storage by the owners, few
of whom had any insurance. The
grain will be almost a total loss, as 1t
is SO badly scorched that it is doubt
full if it can be even used for feed for
stock.
Mr.. Lemen estimates the total loss
at about SIS 900, on which he has 50, 900
insurance, placed with local agents.
Elmer Dusing, who works for Mr..
Lemen, inhaled smoke while trying
to save some of the property and was
pretty sick for time, suffering great
iy. He was all right by next morn
ing, however.
Some of the neighboring residents
packed up their household effects and
were ready to move. There was very
little wind, though, and it blew the
sparks away from the town.
A double-header freight train came
from the north while the fire was IN
progress. The trainmen took chances
and dashed past the blaze quickly and
were warmed up only little.

Church Notes.

Church Notes.
Rev. John Massey, pastor of the
Catholic churches at Harper's Ferry

Busy Burglars.

Last Thursday night burglar, or
burglars, put in busy night in Shep-
herdstown. He visited the home of
DR.. l. S. Tanner and was trying to cut
his way through a shutter when Mrs.
Banks heard him and frightened him
away. He appears next to have gone
to the residence of John H. Show,
which he was trying to enter through
window when the inmates heard him
and scared him off. At the home Of
Mrs. H. NJ. Turner he was more sue
cessful. He cut the Stats of shutter
and gained entrance to the house
through a pantry window. He was
rummaging through the lower rooms
when Mrs. Turner heard him, and he
got out before he had a chance to
steal anything. Next morning war
rant was sworn out for the arrest of a
colored youth known as "Petie Ross, -
who was charged with the crime. He
had hearing before Magistrate Rentch,
who after receiving the evidence re-
leased the negro on his own recogni-
zance for further developments.

Tollgates To Be Taken Off.

A big delegation of farmers from
the vicinity of Moler's Cross Roads
and other persons interested appeared
before the County Court on Monday
to urge the removal OF the tollgates
from the Shepherdstown and Hall
town turnpike. They evidently pre-
sented convincing arguments, for the
court ordered the gates to be removed
and the roads to be made free on and
after the 1st day of December next.
We believe that there are but two
roads in the county now upon which
toll is charged-the Charles Town and
Harper's Ferry pike and the Kable-
town pike. There is some diversity
of opinion as to the wisdom of remov-
ing the tolls. If the County Court
will appoint good men as road super
vieors it will be all right. With in
competent men the roads will go down,
and Jefferson county will lose its rep
utation for having better roads than
any other county in the State. j. NJ.
Hendricks will have charge of a part
of the Shepherdstown and Halltown
Pike. There is no better road super
visor than he in the county. He has
macadamized the entire road from
Shepherdstown to Knott's quarries,
besides making improvements to the
other roads in his district, and be may
be depended upon to keep the pike up
to the standard. The removal Of the
gates will be considerable relief to
those who have had to pay taxes and
tolls too, and we hope the experiment
will prove a success.

PERSONALS.
A Record Of the Coming and Going Of the
People That You Know.

Hon. Thos. G. Miller, State Super
intendent of Free Schools of West
Virginia, and Prof. L. L. Friend, prin-
cipal of the Preparatory School at
Keyser, w. Va, were in Shepherds
town last Saturday. Prof. Miller is
making the rounds of the normal
schools of the State and dropped in
here to inquire after Shepherd Col
lege. Prof. Friend has recently opened
the Keyser school, and now has an at
tendance of over 40 pupils. The
Keyser building is built after almost
identically the same plans as the new
Shepherd College building here, and
he was comparing our structure with
his. Ours is the handsomer edifce,
we think, the buff brick and our splen-
did portico being much more classical
in appearance than the red brick and
tower of the Keyser building.

lumbus, Ohio, where he has relatives

of Staunton, Va. were married last
week in the Hotel Evans at Winches-
ter. The groom formerly lived in
Shepherdstown, where he conducted a
saloon. He is now travelling sales
man for a wholesale liquor firm in
Baltimore. He met Miss Council
while on business trip to Staunton
and the two fell in love with each 9th
er. Her father strenuously objected
to the match, mainly because the
young man was in the liquor business,
but she disregarded the parental wishes
and met her lover in Winchester,
where Rev. Mr.. Sibley married them.
They will reside at Charles Town.
Freight Conductor Henry Derr, OF
the Norfolk & Western Railway, was
in deadly peril at Riverton the other
day, and his narrow escape from death
was enough to turn his hair gray. He
was standing on the ground between
the rails adjusting the brake OF a low
gondola car that was being run in on
siding when his hold slipped and he
fell under the car between the rails
AS the car passed over his body, the
brake rod running almost to the ground
caught his coat and completely tore il
from his body. The rod also struck
him on the forehead, cutting a gasf
two inches long. He was unconscious
when picked up and remained in thai
condition for four hours. He wal
taken home to Hagerstown, and ii
getting all right again.

The Worlds Fair
The st. Louis Worlds Fair vii,

The st. Louis Worlds Fair will be
approximately twice as big as any
former international exposition.
The Centennial exposition at Phila-
delphia covered 236 acres, the Paris
exposition of 1s99-190O, 336 acres, the
Columbian exposition at Chicago 633
acres, the American at Buffalo
$50 acres. The St. Louis Worlds Fair
Will cover 1900 acres.
The construction cost of the Paris
exposition was 100000, that of the
Columbian exposition $18, 1922, 900, and
the total cost of the Pan-A merican
exposition was 100000 900. The esti-
mated cost of the ST. Louis Worlds
Fair will DE $3O.OoO,0OO. This, as any
man Of practical affairs will know,
means $40 900, GOO by the time the work
is completed.
Before the exposition gates are
open, the city Of ST. Louis will have
expended tho enormous sum of
$50, 100000. OF this amount So, 900, 900
was appropriated for the Fair through
the municipal assembly, her citizens
raised $5,000,0o0 additional by private
subscription, and by popular vote at a
special election October 22nd, the
| charter amendments were carried,
which will enable the city to expend
$10,00O,00C for street paving and other
public mprovements.
