ened at a cart that was being dumped
at the stone crusher. The animal
wheeled around in the road, upsettlng
the buggy and throwing the occupants
out. Miss Minnie's arm was very
much bruised, but luckily no serious
damage was done.
In the recent primary examination
held at Shepherdstown, thirty one
applicants were present, representing
all the districts in the county. There
were only four failures out of this
unusually large number, which shows
how we'll our teachers are doing their
work. Nine applicants took the uni
form examination held at Charles
Town on May Goth and 9th. The
examination was considered very
easy one.
The Gibson drug store having been
sold, DR.. Hopkins Gibson will now de-
vote his time exclusively to the prac-
tice of dentistry in his Office in the
REGISTER building. DR.. Gibson has
made for himself an enviable record
as a dentist, and he deserves the sup
rort of the public. He asks contin-
uance of the patronage that has been
so generously extended to him, and
will endeavor to give entire satisfac-
ton to all his atients.
The J. G. Gibson drug store has
been sold to J. Harry Hill, who has
been its pharmacist for several years.
This drug store has been in the Gibson
family for about Is years, the late
DR.. J. Gregg Gibson having purchased
it from R. L. Magruder. Mr.. Hill
will continue the business at the old
stand, and we have no doubt will be
successful, as he is an excellent phar-
macist and business man. The price
paid for the establishment was 81, 900.
On the 18th of June Rural Mail
Carrier Benjamin Hartzell will have
a part Of his route taken off, and he
will have eleven less gates to open.
His route is very long one, and he
has % gates to open on each trip.
An inspector recently went over the
route, and now orders come to Mr..
Hartzell to omit that part Of his trip
which takes him through private
roads by way of the Knott and Moler
places at the extreme eastern end OF
his territory,
J. T. Campbell, the well-known
live stock dealer of this county, last
week sold to a gentleman in Washing"
ton the handsome pair of carriage
horses that he exhibited at Morgan
Grove iair last fall. He got $40 for
the pair. Mr.. Campbell also sold the
same day in Washington a handsome
coach mare for $3.50. Such prices as
these show how greatly farmers stand
in their own light in not devoting
more attention to the raising Of good
horses and frst-class live stock gener-
ally.
We are sorry to learn of the painful
accident that befell our young friend,
Andrew Burnett, son Of W. H. Bur-
nett, who lives on Rocky Marsh, west
of town. Andrew was working with
the stone crusher at the Keplinger
place yesterday when piece of broken
stone flew into his face and struck
him in the eye. 1t was a serious hurt,
and Dr. Myers was called upon at
once to render surgical aid, but the
sight of the eye was destroyed. Andy
is bright and manly young fellow,
and his friends greatly regret the &C:
cident that has befallen him.
About thirty members of Henry
Kyd Douglas Camp, United Sons Of
Confederate Veterans, under command
of Capt. R. T. Banks, went to Hagers-
town last Sunday to participate in the
Confederate memorial exercises. The
service was held at the Confederate
monument in Rose Hill Cemetery, and
included an address by Rev. H. G.
Kendrick. The graves were strewn
with flowers, and a very handsome
wreath was placed on the grave by our
camp. John Kyd Beckenbaugh' was
a member of the committee on arrange
ments and showed many courtesies to
our boys.
