The United States Court met in
Martinsburg on Tuesday, with Judge
Aston G. Dayton on the bench.
Judge Dayton, in his charge to the
grand jury, scored saloonmen. saying
they were dishonest set and made
drunkards of sons and prostitutes of
daughters. He understood that con-
victions of liquor men could not be Sc
cured in State courts, but if indicted
no favoritism would be shown in his
court. Attorney A. G. Nadenbousch
resigned as United States Commits
sioner, and Wilbur Fl. Thomas was
appointed.

p One Of the REGISTERS good friends
whose opinion we greatly prize wrote
US from California the other day,
where she will spend the winter, that
she couldn't get along without the
REGISTER, and that her husband said
it would be all right to call it the
"best paper in West Virgins" instead
of simply the "best papar in Jefferson
county" She writes further: II am
immortalizing the dear old paper by
making scrap book of the short
poems on the first page. Do you
know have found more good IN those
little poems-more everyday, prac-
teal goodness, than in all other pa
pers and magazines combined?" We
appreciate our friends commentator
more than cold type can express.
Charles E. Byers, Of this vicinity,
returned last week from his circuit of
agricultural fairs, where he exhibited
Shorthorn cattle, Poland. China hogs
and Shropshire sheep. He attended
eight fairs in all-York, Allentown,
Bethlehem, Lebanon, Nazareth and
Pottstown, Pa, Trenton, N. j., and
Hagerstown, Md. He won premiums
at every fair, getting sixteen in Ha-
gerstown, where he won eight on his
cattle, six on sheep and two on hogs.
One of his hogs won seven prizes out
OF possible eight and a bull calf won
a prize at every tair where it was ex.
hibited. Mr.. Byers made some good
sales while he was away, having offers
for all of his hogs. He contemplates
having sale of his thoroughbred stock
in the near future.
Rev. Joseph E. Guy, who has been
pastor of the Reformed churches of
Shepherdstown and Kearneysville for
over three years, has received and &C.
cepted a call from the Second Re-
formed Church of Danville, Pa. He
rendered his resignation to his con-
gregations here last Sunday and the
same was accepted. 1t is Nh. Guys
intention to leave here soon after the
lst of November, and a meeting of
Virginia Chassis will be held in the
near future to dismiss him to the
Pennsylvania Chassis. Danville, his
new charge, is a city of about 10000
people, about sixty miles north of
Harrisburg, and is busy iron man
ufacturing town. We understand
that the charge is very desirable
one in every respect.
Prof. ]. G. Knutti, of Shepherd
College, has arranged for a lecture
and entertainment course for the en-
suing school year, and it promises to
be the best that has yet been given
to our people. Governor Bob Taylor,
the eloquent and gifted Ex-Governor
of Tennessee, one of the most popular
lecturers in America, heads the list,
and Guy Carleton Lee, another we'll
known orator, is also on the list. The
musical attractions are two star or
carnations, the Whitney Brothers
Male Quartette and the Harmony
Lady Quartette, both of them very
fine. Magic for the younger folks
has also been provided, and The
Floyds will perform mysterious feats
