Prof. S. w. Fletcher gave a practi-
cal demonstration on Tuesday in DR..
Reynolds's apple orchard in Shep-
herdstown of the method of spraying
fruit trees to destroy the San Jose
scale. a number of our fruit-growers
were present and were interested in
DR.. Fletcher's work. Lack of space
this week prevents US from giving full
particulars, but We will try to do SO
next week.
Now that we are once more to have
a town council that will do something,
let our people work together unitedly
to advance the interests of our COM
munity. The opportunity seems to be
here, so let US take advantage oft and
make our town attractive in the highest
degree to the people who will come here
in the next year. The town officers
and the citizens generally should put
forth their best efforts for public i'm
provement.

win is daily receiving letters from
prospective new students, and it is

Water was turned into the Chesa-
peake & Ohio canal Tuesday, and boat
ing has begun, though not very live
ly as yet. The Towage Company has
ordered 200 of the very best Kentucky
mules for use on the canal, and these
have not yet arrived. When they
come, business is expected to hum.
Each boat will be provided with four
mules, and will be run day and night,
The boats will be required to run on a
sort of schedule, leaving Cumberland
at a certain time and reaching George
town in given period. They must
make at least three round trips in
month. Each captain will be allowed
40 cents ton for boating coal, out Of
which he must pay and board his help
ers. The company will furnish the
mules and boats, and feed the former
and keep up the repairs on the latter.
A supply station will be maintained
at Four Locks, where feed will be dis
tnbuted. This will cause many Of
the stores along the canal to close up,
as their business will be taken away.
There are different opinions as to
whether or not the new plan will work
satisfactorily.
Prof. c.. Irwin Slower, the elocution
teacher for Shepherd College, gave an
entertainment in the college hall Tues
day night, which demonstrated his
ability as an elocutionist. His selec-
tons were good, and he interpreted
the varied expressions in the cleverest
manner. He entertained his audi
ence most delightfully."-, and made an
excellent impression upon the people.
Prof. Slower will, we are sure. be en-
tirely acceptable as an elocution teach
err Music was furnished by the Shep-
herd College orchestra, which is play
ing very well indeed, and it is de-
cided credit to the school and the
musicians who compose 1t. A couple
of selections were sung by the ladies
quartette, composed Of Misses Win
gate, Miller, Beltzhoover and Mary
Hartzell, and the audience gave its
heartiest applause to the fair singers.
Miss Hartzell also sang solo very
sweetly, and those who heard her for
the first time were pleased to note the
fact that promising young soprano
is coming on. She has very sweet
and sympathetic voice, and will make
her mark as singer. She is one of
Miss Wingates pupils.
