representative, won the second prize.

The Judges were Rev. Edwin ].

by the Womsn's Club of Grafton.

the decision. Over two hundred
Fairmonters were present to root for
their contestant, and they are very
sore over the fact that he was out
classed.
Mr.. Miller and Prof. j. G. Knutti,
who accompanied him to Grafton,
reached Shepherdstown Monday af-

and number Of students and teach

spoke OF their trip and gave addition

to calls, remarks were also made by
Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover, Esq, and II. l..

to the school and their visitors, and
the gathering broke up with every
body in an enthusiastic frame OF mind.

Shepherd College Wins Two Games.

The Shepherd College baseball club
scored another victory last Saturday,
when they defeated the Jefferson Acad-
envy boys on the home grounds, near
the cemetery, by the score OF s to ;.
Quite a number of persons witnessed
the game and it was much enjoyed,
although it was hardly close enough
to be real interesting. During the
first part of the game the score was
kept down pretty well, but the home
team soon got on to their opponents
pitcher and landed on him with ven
geance. Singles, two-base hits and
three. base hits were batted out at
will, and the visitors were led a mer-
ry chase up to the seventh inning.
At this point the catcher for the col
lege boys, F. F. Clendening, had to
retire from the game on account of
an ugly cut above the eye, which was
caused by his coming into collision
with another player. The visitors
rallied, and made a strenuous effort
to snatch victory from defeat, but
they failed to make connection with
Morrow's curves. The battery for
the visitors was Shaull and Kerens.
Morrow and Clendening were the
battery for the college boys, and Nor
row pitched good game. The JEFF
ferson Academy boys were a most
gentlemanly set Of young men and
took their defeat in a very good spirit.
The Shepherd College second team
defeated the Junior Athletes from
Martinsburg in holly contested game
in this place Wednesday afternoon.
The two teams were pretty evenly
matched and it was hard to tell Just
which would be victorious. First one
would be in the lead, then the other.
The final count, however, showed l6
runs for Shepherd College, while Mar

The educational campaign arranged
by Hon. Thos. G. Miller, State Super
intendent of Schools, begins its toul
of eastern and northern West Virgin
ia next Monday, starting in Shepherds.
town. Two meetings will be held
here on Monday-the first at II a. M
at the Graded School and the second
at 2.3O p. N. in the Shepherd College

sity. At 7.3O Monday evening the

The object OF tins campaign, as

and the improvement of our schools.
Among the topics to be discussed will
be consolidation of schools, improve
msut OF school grounds and adorn-
ment of school rooms, establishment OF
school Libraries. and educational de-
velopment and advancement general
ly. The speakers are among the most
prominent educators in our State, and
DR.. Stetson is a school man of nation

and trustees from every part OF the
county are invited Teachers are al
so urged to attend and bring with

Superintendent Miller writes the
REGISTER, saying that the educational
tour along the Ohio river last week
was a great success, about 5000 per-
sons hearing the addresses. He thinks
that Monday ought to be a rally for
the entire county along educational
and civic improvement lines. Topics
emphasized are not exclusively those
dealing with school affairs IN the or
binary sense OF the term, but include
also matters relating to our social, In
dustrial and intellectual development.
Farmers, business men, the ladies'

Big Wheel Moved.

U. S. Martin, the enterprising own
er of the roller -four mill in Shep-
hardstown, has moved the big iron
water wheel from its old position to
new location adjoining the mill.
This wheel, which is one of the larg-
est waterwheels in the country, is OF
iron, weighs nearly y tons, and is
about 40 feet in diameter. Mr.. Mar
TN moved it several hundred feet,
and though the preparations for it's
transfer took considerable time, it was
moved from the one location to the
other in less than four hours. A
trestle was built and the big wheel
was readily rolled along until it rested
on its new bearings. 1t will be con-
nected directly with the machinery
of the mill, and it is believed there
will be an increase of from one-third
to one-hslf in the power. Mr.. Mar
tin expects to build himself a new
dwelling-house on the lot adjoining
the mill, purchased from DR.. Rey'
nolds.
