trade we have had to order in much

come is the word, at Remnants Phar-
macy.

The ragtag parade and mock tour
nament on New Years day afforded
lots of fun to the large crowds that
had gathered to witness the perform
ers. General Maleester managed it
excellently we'll and both the charge
to the knights and the coronation ad-
dress of Judge Bast were models Of
wit and elOquence.
George W. Horn and son have
bought the stock of merchandise in
/ the general store at Uvilla so long
conducted by n, S. J. Strider, and will

good stand in days gone by, and we

ishiug business. They are worthy
men and ought to be well patronized.

We haven't much faith in these
national weather prophets. Hicks
predicted big snow storms for Christ
mas and Devoe declared there would
be a great blizzard in this section the
first Of January. We all know how
they both missed it. Edward Athey,
who aspires to FIJI VIII Hills shoes
as local weather prophet, said it would
rain Christmas week-and it surely
did.
John Shaull, who lives on the VIM.
H. Byers farm, near town, was the
victim of a peculiar and painful acct
dent some days ago. a horse that he
was riding stumbled and fell upon him,
dlslocating his great toe. The toe as
sumed a perpendicular position that
was quite rakish but was any
thing but comfortable. DR.. G.. w,
Banks was summoned, but his unaided
efforts were not sufficient to conquer
the unruly member, and it was not
until he had called DR.. S. T. Knott to
his assistance that the toe assumed Its
proper attitude.
The annual banquet Of Mt. Nebo
Lodge Of Masons on St. Johns day
was held at the Virginia House and
was an unusually interesting event.
! A splendid repast was served by Mrs.
Moler, her helpers being pretty girls
of the town, who were as clever in
their role as walters as they were fair
to look upon. II. L. Snyder was
POSTMASTER, and responses to toasts
were made by J. S. Fleming, H. NJ.
Turner, Rev. DR.. Charles Ghiselin and
Wyncoop Lemen. About fifty Ma
sons and their friends, including
number ofladies, enjoyed the evening.
During the holidays a number Of
the lady subscribers to the REGISTER
called at our office to renew their sub
scliptions and say kind word for the
paper. Among these friends were
Mrs. Mary McAnly, who added to
our collection manuscript music
book of anthems used in the Lutheran
church more than seventy years ago;
Mrs. Presley Marmaduke who called
and presented us with some Chinese
coins; Miss Mary E. Rogers, of Mar
tinsburg, Mrs. Amey and her daugh-
ter Mrs. Ed. Wilmington, of Kear-
nevsville, Mrs. Melester, of this Vi
entity, Mrs. Oscar L. Sperow and Mrs.
Susie Billmyer, of Berkeley county,
and Mrs. John Criswell, of town.
After spirited contest Of over a
month between the temperance peo-
pie and those favoring the licensing
of saloons, the question was settled at
the town election in Harper's Ferry
last Thursday, when the license tick
ct was elected by a majority of 49.
