More About the Trolley Line.

The project to construct an electric
railway line extending from Winches-
ter to Martinsburg via the rich fruit
section, and continuing down through
Shepherdstown and HArper's Ferry to
Charles Town, which has been in the
air for several months past. is now
assuming such shape that it is believ.
ed it will be defitely known within a
few weeks whether the matter will be
brought to a successful umation
or not. Persons representing the cap
italists back Of the proposition, accom-
panied by Col. Stuart W. Walker,
who has been handling the local end
of the matter, went over portion OF
the route yesterday, and upon the re-
port depends the success or failure OF
the project. A deal of such great
proportions, involving, as it does, the
expenditure of 81, 100000, connot be
closed in day, and while little has
been said here concerning the matter,
those in charge have been working
hard to bring about success. The
building of this road would greatly
benefit every person along the route,
and concerted effort to help the
matter along, in the event It is decid-
ed to build the line, should be made

Graded School Matters.

Our graded school opened with fine
enrolment, though many pupils who
delay entering until October or Novem-
that can scarcely be secured afterward.
AS we grade chiefly on arithmetic, some
children are necessarily classed lower
than their friends think advisable A.; in
some cases, at least, this is true. But
| this is fair and absolutely essential for
the child's proper training. History,
geography and other branches can be
| acquired to some degree of proficiency
| without close attention to grade. But
arithmetic must be mastered by care
full study OF the principles, and by thor
| ough instruction in topics which the
child can grasp. Superficial work or
passing from grade to grade without
sound knowledge cannot produce salts
| factory results in mathematical studies.
Occasional complaints are head from a
| few persons about buying books. We
| require no more tools for intellectual
work than the mechanic or the profess
sional man needs to do his work well.
Besides the State is furnishing school
| buildings and appliances. employs
|
| does almost everything but supply free
textbooks. Should not We, as parents,
be entirely willing to make acrifices,
if needful, to supply our children with
| books.
| Our income from the recent enter
tainment gave US Sl5.25 as nucleus for
an organ fund. AS we were at no ex-
pense, this was quite satisfactory. Our

does special work, is giving satisfaction
thus far, through it has not had suffi-
ent trial for US to fully decide upon
its merits. This much can be said con-
fidently, have succeeded with its else

teachers we expect to do better work
than under the grade plan. Let me

Fire {! Fire |! Fire |

Fire Fire Fire
On Friday morning last about 10
o'clock our town was thrown into a
state of excitement by the ringing of
the fire bell. Investigation located
the cause at the home Of DR.. A. S.
Reynolds on German street. 1t was
ironing day at that house and as the
freshly laundried clothes were finish
ed they had been hung closely about
the stove in the kitchen. In some
unexplained manner they became ig-
nited and for q few moments burned
6ercely and threatened serious dam .
age to the building. By the prompt
efforts of the neighbors and citizens
who were first on the spot the blaze
was soon e1tinguished, but not until
nearly all the clothing had been dam
aged or destroyed. The loss is COW
cred by insurance.

Special Term Of County Court.

From the Charles Town Free Press
we take the following notes of the
recent special term of the County
Court of Jefferson county:
In the matter of the petition OF
Geo. w. Shaull and others to open a
public road, the court decided to open
the road provided Miss Bette Sub
lette would accept $75 for the use OF
her land. Miss Sublette, by coun-
sci, refused the offer, filed eight ex'
captions, and asked the court to dis
miss the proceedings. This the court
declined to do, but decided to let the
proceedings remain in allegiance as
long as Miss Sublette permits Will
liam Burns to pass through her farm,
to which Miss Sublette excepted.
Ordered that ]. D. Billmyer, late
sheriff, be notified that unless he ap-
pears at the next regular term of the
court on November 5. and settles his
sherifalty accounts with the county
and road districts of the county, suit
will be instituted for amount due.
Ordered, further, that copy of this
order be sent to Billmyer 8 bondsmen

The late Judge Richard d. Alvey,
of Hagerstown, Nd, lett no will. A
thorough search has failed to discover
one among his effects. Judge Alvey
frequently when spoken to about max
ing a will, stated that the provisions
of the law relative to the disposition OF
estates where no wills were made were
quite satisfactory to him. Mrs. Julia
J. Alvey, his widow, took out let
ters of administration on the estate
for the purpose of attending to the
matters that are Immediately neces-
sary. She gave bond. Judge Alvey
left an estate valued at about $780,
600. The personal property is valued
at $135, 900 and the realty, consisting
of three houses in Hagerstown and
two farms near Williamsport (4OO
acres) at $65, 1000.

A Straight
Talk on Paint.

To Put off painting is wasfefnt
negligence.
To use poor PAINTS false economy.
Good paint used when needed is
a profitable inveStment-not an ex-
pense.
No argument needed on these
points, no investigation-but the
selection of a good paint is a prob
lem, and a hard one, too.
Why? Because there is so much
fraud in the paint business. It's
so easy to fool the people on paint.
