der, of the Shenandoah Junction neigh
borhood, lett at our Office yesterday a
couple of ears of corn as samples of
his crop this year. They were per-

A New York paper on Tuesday
contained thrilling account of the
attempt of tall, dark-haired man to
throw acid in the face of Miss Odette
Tyler, the actress, whose pretty face
and winning manner had infatuated

but untrue. Miss Tylers friends
here will regret to learn that she has
recently been i'll, having been obliged
to undergo an operation upon her
throat.

The first snow of the season fell
last Friday-and it was a good big
one. 1t began in the morning and
kept up all day, when about seven
inches covered the ground. There
was an inch or two more on Saturday,
making frstrate sleighing until yes
terday, when the warmer weather
melted the snow a good deal. Ac-
cording to the ancient belief, we will
have fifteen SHOWS this year, as the
first came on the fifteenth day Of the
month.
The REGISTER wishes to enter its
protest against sleighing without
sleigh- bells. We have noticed few
sleighs in town without the merry
| Jingle of the bells, and it seems al
most spooky to see them slipping
along so quietly. Let everybody use
sleigh bells and lots of them-the
good old-fashioned kind are the best

upon the wintry air in sweet jangle
that sets the blood a-moving and
calls forth responsive tones from ev-
cry merry heart. Ring the bells
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael P. Crowl eel
ebrated the thirtieth anniversary of
their marriage by giving very en-
| joyable reception last Thursday night
at their home in Shepherdstown. Dur
ing the evening large number of
their friends called to extend con-
gratulations, and were most hospita-
bly, entertained, delicious ref sshments
being served. The bride and groom,
who are still youthful looking and
sprightly, for all the vicissitudes Of
thirty years of married life, were as
sisted by their eleven sons and daugh-
tiers in making the evening pleasant
for their guests, and all the visitors
thoroughly enjoyed the affair. Mr..
and Mrs. Crowl received many hand.

heart. We hope that the happy cou-

it shall be their good fortune to live
for many more anniversaries.
The entertainment of Garments Ital-
ian Boys and Ebert Poland, the hu-
morist, in the college auditorium last
Thursday night was delightful per-
Torrance. The music Of the boys and
the readings of Mr.. Poland were
equally enjoyable. and were appre-
ciated by large audience. Both in
their solo work or in their concerted
numbers the boys handled the instru-
ments admirably, and every selection
they rendered was heartily encored.
Mr.. Foland's work grew more and
more upon the audience and the en-.
thusiasm waxed greater with each of
his clever renditions. He was de.
lightful in all his readings, and was
