Last Saturday night Shepherdstown
was in a more boisterouis mood than
it had been for many months, 1t
seemed that the fact OF saloons being
in town induced many persons to
imbibe too freely and they truly
painted the old town red. So much
drunkenness had not been seen upon
our streets for long time.
1t is said that the Postoffice Depart
ment is considering a proposition to
improve the postage stamps by put
ting on them the head of a beautiful
woman. 1t is a good idea, and we
are prepared to name the person who

women are prettier than Shepherds
town women, and we know who is the
prettiest one of them all.
