One of our subscribers asks us to
request that folks do not borrow her
copy of the REGISTER, for she hardly
has chance to read it because it is
carried away so regularly. Really,
no one ought to borrow the paper
when it will be sent to any address
for a dollar year-two cents week.

negotiating with l. W. Williams for

81 ,000.-Spirit.
John T. Watson, who farms the
Lucas place south Of town, sent to the
REGISTER Office a few days ago a
bunch of wheat heads about as fine as
any we have ever seen. 1t is thought
the wheat generally will turn out fair
ly well, as the heads are unusually
heavy and well filled. If any one can
beat Mr.. Wetson's sample we'd like
to see the wheat that will do it.

syndicate, who sold it to the same
company. Many improvements, in
Guiding long distance service, will
be made at once.

has turned over his books to Ger

E. T. Licklider will receive taxes in
Shepherdstown district, and those in
arrears will save costs by paying up
at once. Captain Baker will take a
rest from business until his health i'm
proves.
In digging the foundation trenches
for the addition to the REGISTER
building several of the watts that were
once a part of the old lanyard have
been opened up, and some of them
still had the tanbark in them. The
tanning business was once an impor-
tant feature in Shepherdstown, but it
is only a Renaissance now. There's
a vast deal of difference between the
handsome REGISTER building and the
old tannery buildings that formerly
occupied this site.
