Dawson Butted In.

Court circles were greatly interested
here in the latest phases of the Paul
Clifford case; which Is now pending
before the supreme court Of appeals o n
writ Of error, which will be argued
by brief during the next few weeks and
by oral arguments before the court at
Charles Town at the regular term In
January. The latest move toward the
Liberation of Clifford has been made by
his father, J. X. Clifford, who has filed
with the state board of pardons an APP
plication, accompanied by petition
for the pardon Of Paul Clifford.
Another interesting incident in
connection with the case il the
fact that Governor Dawson has put a
finger in to the extent of writing let
ter to States Attorney Noll, in which
the governor urged Attorney Noll to
consent to argue the case before the su-
preme court ofappeals on day set for
il some time in advance of the regular
term Of the supreme court. Mr.. Noll re-
piled TO the governor saying that he
proposed to argue the case at the regu-
lar term. Just how the governor got
into the case is not stated.

The Death OF Mr.. John Moore Ham
shaw

Early in the morning of Nov. Sth,
1915, the news began to pass from one
to another that Mr.. Henshaw ha d
been removed from his earthly home
to the home above. And it soon proved
to he even too true. To the Presbyte-
rians Of Martinsburg it is felt to be a
severe stroke. For he was good and
true man. And after all it is the good
man that is most missed i'm the church
and in the community when death
mas claimed him. Sharpness and
shrewedness and refinement and even
education are poor substitute for the
bedrock principles of underlying god
Illness. II is a fine tribute to a man of
affairs when we find his associates in
business bearing witness to his unsul-
lied honesty and honor in his dealings
with men, And this is the reputation
that Mr.. Henshaw has left behind
him.
He had been in business in Martins
burg for about fifteen years and was
well known, not only in the town but
very widely throughout the County of
Berkeley, within whose borders he
was horn and reared. He became rul-
ing elder quite early in life in the Pres
byterian church in Gerardstown,
which he had been member from boy
hood, having been born near that place
June 9Th, 1S45. He moved from there
to Martinsburg in the year 1890, and
In the early part of the next year he
was called to the exercise of the same
Office in the church here. And it can be
truly said of him that he measured
well up to the divine requisite of an
office-holder in the house of God:
Moreover it is required of stewards
that man be found faithful" Mr..
Henshaw was always in his place in
the Sabbath worship of the sanctuary
and in the prayer meeting on Wednes-
day evening, and his family with him
We mourn him gone; but we can with
glad hearts join in the acclaim: "well
done good and faithful servant The
pillars may fall, but we have the Lord
God of Elijah still left, and SO all is
wetl. A beloved wife and his three
daughters remain with us, showing
by their christian resignation the
spirit which, he whom they mourn
ever sought to impress upon them.

The injunction procured by ci tizen
of Randolph county, to restrain the
sheriff and County Court from paying
or issuing county orders, suggests that
there may be general tie up through
out the counties of the State, brought
about largely through the instrument
tality of the fake tax laws. In large
majority of the counties the revenue
raised to conduct county affairs
will prove insufficient, because of
the statutory inhibition against col
Letting revenue more than per cent.
in excess of the amount collected last
year. AS the counties have been charged
with number of expense items not
heretofore paid by them, the amount
they are allowed to collect will be too
small to meet the demands on the
treasury. The law makes it crime
punishable by fine for any County
Court to create a liability, and while
there are some courts that would pro-
badly take the chances of punishment
rather than see necessary things
omitted to be done by their cOunties,it
is not probable that there is any coun-
ty in tire State in which there is not
some citizen who, in such case, will
arise and enjoin such movement. The
consequence will be found to be great
embarrassment in many countless

There are sheets and towels by the
dozen, not to speak of table linen
why not go to some shop and buy
letters to mark your towels and bed

Plenty good enough for the average
present. OF course, table linen is
quite another question. That must be
done by hand and very nicely, too,
else it is far better left alone. Mark
your linen as you like best Your
monogram would be very nice, but
single letter answers the purpose
quite as we'll. 1t is lovely to have
your first name embroidered on your
underwear, but 1 certainly do not ad-
wise any girl to do 1t. Too much
precious eyesight is wasted and it is
not worth the while. Use the pretty
little letters instead. They range in
price. but / am quite sure you can
get them large enough for this pur-
pose for 80 or 40 cents a dozen, and
for sheets, pillow slips and towels for
so cents. 1 should think six dozen
towels, including bath towels; one
dozen and a half sheets, one dozen pill

old fashioned custom, l know, but 1t

MARY A. j. shaded Colors in Dress
DetaiD-Instead of combining a num-
Der of colors into a color scheme more
or less elaborate, there is a sudden
craze for shading some one color from
Its palest shade tint to It's richest tone
in variety of dress accessories.
You see shaded wells, shaded stock
ings, shaded ribbons, laces, silks and
flowers. And the cliffons and silks and
ribbons can be so harmonized and adj

WEDDINGS Qnvitation) There
are several forms of wedding invita-
tions. but I think the most popular
form for church ceremonies reads:
Mr.. and Mrs. George Edward Smith
Request the honor of
presence at the marriage of their
daughter.
Evelyn Isabella,
TO
Mr.. James Field
on the evening of Wednesday, the sec>
ond of April, at half after eight
O'Clock at st. Johns Church.
The blank space is left to write the
name Of the person invited and 1t is
more used these days than request the
honor of your presence" for the sim
pie reason that it is more personal.
IVY "a Red Nose)-The best modelled
nose is a trial if 1t is red or has the
uncomfortable habit of getting spotty
A shiny nose is bad enough, but 1t can
be ren.edied to a certain extent. Are
you quite certain that your trouble does
not come from carelessness? Indiges-
ton or Door circulation are frequently
the cause Of fiery nose. II this is the
case simple remedy for the stomach
will more than likely clear your COM
plexion. Take a half teaspoonful of
sulphate Of soda; dissolve in half a
tunbler of boiling hot water; drink as
hot as you possibly can an hour before
breakfast. Repeat the dose in thirty
minutes. Pure hot wafer is a splendid
medicine and certainly nothing could
be more simple or easier to get. Very
few people really drink enough water
anyhow and several glasses of as hot
as you can drink will clean your stom-
ach out well. 1t seems almost foolish
TO tell you that tight clothes or bands
will frequently produce red nose, for
in these days of enlightenment there
are few women who aspire to an
eighteen-inch waist and days of abso-
lutte torture. And while I think of it
want 10 tell you that ordinary wash
ing soda and water is a good remedy
for shiny nose. Use bit about the
size Of flbert TO q quart Of water.

washing will do 1T. Rubbing or boil
