Flood-both of this county.

One of the pleasant features of the
trip of the teachers of Shepherd Col
lege to the inter.normal contest at
Grafton last week, was the courtesy
shown them by Mr.. Stuart Bowman,
who took them to Pruntytown to visit
the State Reform School.
Mr.. D. L. Rentch represented the
Shield of Honor Of this place at ses-
sion of the Grand Lodge held in
Wheeling on Tuesday. Mr.. Rentch
was elected grand representative to
the Supreme Lodge of the United
States, which meets at Philadelphia in
June. He reports that the order in
this State has quite a boom during
the last year.
Mr.. Carlton Moler captured a beau
tiful bride last Thursday noon, when
he was married at the Lutheran par
sonage to Miss Irene Moler, of the
Bakerton neighborhood. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. 81. Max
Lentz in the presence of few friends
and relatives. The happy couple at
once left for Washington, followed by
showers of rice and the good wishes of
their friends. After short absence they
will return to the West Virginia hills
for homemaking and happiness.
TIL. will of the late Edward Tear
ney, of Harper's Ferry, has been ad-
mitted to probate by the clerk of the
county court. Mr.. Tearney divides
all of his property among his six chill
dren in equal shares as nearly as
possible, giving to each an absolute
estate in his or her specified parts.
Three farms of 16O acres each and a
number Of town lots are in Kansas.
The estate is estimated at from $751;
900 to 100000 He appoints his
three sons, Joseph F., Edward NJ. and
George L. Tearney, executors of the
will, allowing them to qualify without
security.
There is an old saying that if it
rains five Sundays in succession that
the sixth Sunday will witness food.
Last Sunday was the fifth continuous
one that it has rained, SO that the
superstitious are looking for the full
fllment Of the Representation next
Sunday. This has been strengthened
somewhst by the prediction that a
great food will occur in the eastern
portion of the United States between
the 9th and 18th of April on account
of the condition of the planets. 1t
will be interesting to note whether or
not the sixth Sunday predictions will
bring the flood.
The editor of the REGISTER and his
daughter, Miss Louise Anna Snyder,
went to Philadelphia last Thursday to
attend the obsequies of Mrs, Snyder's
mother, Mrs. S. A. Baldwin, and at
this writing they have not returned.
The funeral services were held Mon
day, but they will not likely reach
here much before the paper is ready
for the press. Mrs. Snyder was un-
able to accompany them because OF
the serious illness Of her child. There
is great sympathy for the family in
such sore bereavement and affection,
and the patrons Of the office will make
due allowance for shortcomings and
delay.
A pleasant entertainment is prom
ised at the town hall Saturday even
ing by Glass No. 5 of the Lutheran
Sunday school. Miss Allstadt will
assist in rendering the varied program
of music and dialogue, and the stage
performance will be preceded and fol-
