to make a full report of those who get
the stufing kicked out of them.
We drop the names of several sub
scribers this week who have taken no
account of bills sent them. We take
it for granted that the person who
cannot pay dollar is not likely to
pay more.
The Charles Town Spirit pays the
following well-deserved compliment
to Miss Gussie Morrison, the efficient
manager of the Shepherd.town tele-
phone exchange: Miss Morrison is
very popular with telephone patrons
for her especially clear and prompt
responses.
We have learned from reliable au-
thority that there have as yet been no
orders issued for the construction of
that part of the proposed new B. & o.
cutoff between Tabs and Harpers
Ferry. The same authority, however,
says that it is almost certainty that
this line will be built.
A block of stock in the Jefferson
Savings Bank of Shepherdstown
changed hands this week at premi-
um Of so per cent above par value.
This is the highest premium ever paid
for this bank stock, and is an indica-
ton of the success and stability Of the
bank that must be gratifying to its
managers and its stockholders.
The people of Shepherdstown and
vicinity are glad to know that Rev.
J. c. Thrasher has been returned as
pastor of the Southern Methodist
Church in this place. He is an able
minister and an estimable Christian
gentleman. We are also pleased to
note that Rev. H Lee Hout, a native
of Shepherdstown, has received a pro-
motion. He is sent to st. James
Church in Roanoke, one Of the pros
porous and influential congregations
of that city.

schools of the county, and he finds

conscientious and capable official.
Z. II. Reinhart, Charles F. Byers
and John L Athey have formed the
nucleus Of what they hope will devel-
OPP into a splendid herd of thorough
bred Short-horn cattle. Between
them they have eight head of regis
tered stock OF this breed, and may
add other good specimens as they have
opportunity to purchase them. 1t is
their intention to have a combination
sale of fine stock when the increase

Of registered Poland-China hogs and
thoroughbred Shropshire sheep. This
is a movement that we hope to see

live stock.

Last Sunday the weather was beau
tful in the morning, but for an hour
or two in the afternoon there was a
| fierce storm, accompanied by heavy
rain and hail. The wind was almost
like a cyclone, and a good deal Of
damage was done. The barn of John
w. Marshall, near Kearneysville, was
partly unroofed and several smaller
buildings were damaged. A part of
the roof Of J. Will Taylors barn, be-
low town, was also carried away. On
Sandy Ridge a good deal of fencing
was blown down, and the Junction
road was like the old-time corduroy
road from the rails that had blown in
