herdstown seems to be going begging.
Sergeant Waldeck has resigned and
no one appears to want the place.
Last year the Office paid about 1926.

taxes may be given to one person and
the Office Of policeman to another.

Young Tom Leggett has recovered
his voice, after having been almost
speechless for a couple of weeks. He
got his voice back last Sunday in
peculiar way. He was trying to put
on his collar, and the pesky thing
wouldn't button. In his evaporation
he blurted out, "Confound it, and
found that he could talk as well az
ever. 1t is thought that he lost his
voice because Of the lint in the air at
the stocking factory, where he works.
Now that the appetizing and fra
grant spring onions and leeks are in
the market our readers may be inter-
ested to learn of a way to remove their
aroma from ones breath. 1t is said
that if YOU eat small quantity Of
| loaf or granulated sugar after eating
onions the odor will be removed. The
plan is easily tested by those interest
Ell and the remedy not hard to take.
/ 1t is to be particularly noted, how
ever, that no whiskey must be used
with the dose.
Workmen are here to make some
decided changes and improvements In
the lines of the United Telephone,
Company in Shepherdstown. The
central Office will be removed from
the Wintermoyer building to the room
at the east end of Mrs. Mamie Dan
iels' house on Main street, and new
and larger switchboard will be in
stalled 1t is also said that some Of
the poles will be removed from Main
street and placed in the alley to the
south. We hope that this may be the
case. The improvements contem-
plated will give much better service
to the patrons Of the company.

| Transport, Pa, delivered his lecture
on university of Adversely" in Shep-
herd College hall last Friday evening
to large audience. 1t was very
entertaining and enjoyable address,
humorous to a degree, and the lecturer
kept his audience deeply interested.
This was the last lecture Of the Shop
herd College course. The people who
supported the enterprise will be glad
to know that it has proven financial
success, and that in addition to pro-
viding a series of elevating entertain

left in the treasury. Prof. Goodwin
and the members of the college facul-

course for next season, which 1t is
hoped will be still more enjoyable than
the course Just completed.
