To Our Subscribers.

During the past couple of weeks we
have sent to those of our subscribers
who are in arrears statements of their
accounts, with requests for settlement.
A number of them have promptly re-
,ponded and paid up in full. Others,
however, have taken no account OF
our request, and we suppose we will
have to put these claims in the hands
of a collector. 1t is our intention to
have our subscription list cleared OF
deadheads-those who never feel the
obligation to pay for their paper
and we want to do this by the first Of
January. If those to whom we have
sent accounts do not pay up by the
first of the year we shall give their
accounts to collector and discontin-
ue their copy Of the REGISTER. We
hope verybody will settle up, and we
would remind our subscribers that it
is good to pay up without waiting for
dun.

The College Lecture Course.

Prof. E. F. Goodwin, principal of
Shepherd College, has about COM
pleted the arrangements for the course
oflectures to be held during the COM
ing winter. Shepherdstown is to be
congratulated upon the treat in store
for our people, for few country towns
are favored with SO attractive an ag-
gregation of talent as has been Sc
cured for this course.
The first entertainment will be held
Oh the evening of January 10th, when
the Ernest Gamble Recital Company,
one of the most popular musical or
CARNATIONS in the country, will rem
der an attractive programe.
Hon. Walter NJ. Chandler, South
erner who is now leading member of
the New York bar and most eloquent
speaker, will deliver lecture on Feb
ruary 18th. His lecture on THE
Trial of Jesus From Lawyers Stand
point" has recently attracted wide at
tention.
Frank Dixon, another distinguished
New Yorker of Southern birth, will
lecture on March 10th. Mr.. Dixon
comes of a family celebrated on the
lecture platform, and is brother of
Thomas Dixon, Jr., the author Of the
now famous book, "The Leopard's
Spots.
Fred High, of Pittsburg, the we'll
known and popular humorlst and i'm
personator, is booked for April 10th.
W. Quay Rosselle, another popular
lecturer whose clog uence is widely
known, will close the course on May
9Th.
A good deal of regret has been
caused by the failure to secure Gen.
John B. Gordon for lecture. He
will not, however, give any lectures
this season, as he is devoting his time
exclusively to literary work for the
Scribner's. Hehad been partially en-
gagged, but afterward cancelled the date.
The price of season tickets, admit
ting to each of the FIVE entertainments,
has been fixed at ST. Is, very low
price indeed, for some of the lecturers
above named get as much for single
admission in larger cities. Every
person who can do SO is urged to buy
season tickets and so assure the sue
cess of the project. Single admission
tickets will be fifty cents. Further
details will be given later.

SHARPsBURG, Nd,

SHARPsBURG, MD,
December II, 1902.
Mr.. EDITOR i wish that you would
mention in your paper that Charles
Renner was way laid and severely beat
en- by two men in Shepherdstown last
night about 8 o'clock. Mr.. Renner was
met by a man near the railroad, below
the churches, and was asked by him
where he was from, and Renner told
him Sharpsburg By this the man
struck him in the face and knocked
him down, when another came up and
they both kicked and beat him badly.
Now this was all uncalled for, as he was
not harming any one, and he is nice
young man and well thought Of in
Sharpsburg. He comes Of good fami-
ly and he says he thought that every
one was his friend.
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is a letter to
you from a citizen of Sharpsburg We
do not know who they were who brutal
ly beat this young man, and we do not
blame any of the leading people Of Shep,
herdstown for it. But the men who did
it are towards. When the Shepherds
town boys come TO our town they are
treated as gentlemen and we are glad to
see them and we thought they appre-
ciated it. Hoping this will be men
toned in your valuable paper, the writer
will close.

A Flash In the Pan.

Tuesday evening large and inter-
e,ted crowd gathered in the council
room to give ear to the proceedings
that sundry Of the city fathers had
instituted for the purpose OF depriving
Mayor Harrison of the honors and
emoluments Of his Office. So high was
anticipation of thrilling proceedings
that folk. from way out in the coun-
try were present, and even Berkeley
county was represented. At the ap-
pointed time Recorder Billmyer and
Councilmen Butler and Pofenberger
were on hand, but the solemn moments
dragged YEARLY by and none of the
other official, appeared. Mayor Har-
ri.on was at home quietly smoking
his vesperian cigar, Mr.. Frazier was
sick in bed, Mr.. Ray was in Martins
burg, and Mr.. Humrickhouse was off,
cially invisible. The situation was
embarrassing-all that crowd on hand
and nothing doing. Finally DR.. But
Ter ordered the town sergeant to 60 on
the hunt Of Councilman Humrickhouse,
with instructions to arrest him and
bring him to his place. This warmed
up the tagging enthusiasm of the au-
dience little, and when DR.. Butler
followed after the sergeant few mo-
ments later there was every indica-
ton, apparently, that Mr.. Humrick-
house would presently be hauled in,
dead or alive. After considerable
wait the door was flung open and Ser
geant Waldeck made his appearance,
closely followed by DR.. Butler-but
no prisoner. The sergeant announced
that Mr.. Humrickhouse was sick and
couldn't attend. DR.. Butler supple
mented the announcement with a
statement of the nature of the illness
that certainly indicated faulty dag
nosis, else we are much mistaken in
Mr.. Humrickhouse. There was no
quorum present, but many Of the spec
tators thought this need not interfere
with the project on hand, and there
| was consequently good deal Of grum-
bling when it was decided to postpone
action. 1t is not stated when the next
act in the farce will take place, but it is
suggested that it be held in the town
hall and an admission fee be charged.
Sufficient revenue could probably be
raised to meet the deficit in the town s
| finances.

Winter Weather.

Winter Weather.
This section has had a spell Of
weather the past week that is, fortu-
nately, seldom equalled and never ex-
celled. A rain began last Saturday
that, freezing as it fell, soon covered
everything with coating Of ice. That
which chung to the trees and shrub
berry was as clear as crystal, and in
the sunshine of Sunday and the moon
light at night presented a scene of
glittering beauty. The town and the
country about looked like fairyland.
Monday and Tuesday more rain came,
and piled on additional ice until the
trees were overloaded and began to
break beneath the burden. Telephone
wires sagged and broke until the SER
vice was entirely knocked out. In
Hagerstown and Martinsburg the tel
ephone poles and wires went down by
wholesale, and it will take weeks to
get them in order again. There's
nothing doing at all in telephone SER
vice, and linemen will be kept busy a
couple of months repairing the dam
age. Tuesday night crossed wires in
Shepherdstown gave such display ot
electricity that it was thought best to
shut down the plant until the lines
were Strengthened out. The ice melt
ed on Tuesday, and cool wave fol-
lowed yesterday.
The weather has been so badly
mixed that Prophet Hill has quit bus
mess until normal conditions prevail
again.
