We Are Going to Beat Berkeley County.

Berkeley county is Justly celebrated
for the variety and fine quality Of the
apples being raised there. John Mil
Ter, of that county. pioneer fruit grow
er and most successful orchardist in
the State, has an orchard of 35 acres
that has produced over 5000 worth
of apples in three crops. Jefferson
county, however, is being heard from
in this line and will soon compete
with Berkeley for first place in the
amount of apples produced IN the
State. Chas. E Jones. OF LeetowD,
has $50 acres in apples, divided into
two orchards. He took sample OF
the soil from each of his orchards and
one from Mr.. Miller's and sent them
to the experimental station at Nor
gantown to have them analysed as to
which was the best for orchard pur-
poses. He is in receipt of letter
from the station stating that the soils
from his orchards are far superior to
the sample of the Berkeley orchard
sent. This ls a matter of congratula-
ton to Mr.. Jones, and to the other
fruit raisers of the county as well. as
it shows the possibilities of the soil OF
this county. 1t would be an accom-
plishwent, indeed, to GUST Berkeley
county from first place in the apple
raising business, for she has a great
reputation in this line.-Free Press.

Council Meeting.

A regular meeting of the town
council was held Monday night, with
all the members present. The report
Of the committee appointed to report
as to the duties and salary of the SER
geant created considerable interest.
The matter of compensation had been
brought up at a previous meeting,
when Sergeant Shipley had put in his
application. At that time be stated
he would serve on the same terms as
the previous year. Councilmen j. D.
Billmyer advocated giving the SER
gesnt, IN addition to bis former COM
pensation, a commission on the IL
censes paid into council and on the
electric light collections. Mayor Bast
appointed Recorder Hodges and Coun-
cilmen Billmyer as committee to
formulate contract and terms with
the sergeant, and this committee re-
ported Monday night. 1t was agreed
that the duties and general require
ments should be the same as last
year, but the committee failed to
agree on compensation, Recorder
Hodges favoriDg the same terms as
last year, while Blllmyer advocated
the additional compensation of 5 per
cent on electric light collections. A
yea and nay vote was taken on the
question, and those voting for the ex-
ira commission were Cookus, Billmyer,
Sheetz and Humrickhouse, while those
opposing were Hodges and Boswell.
So the sergeant will get per cent
commission on electric light collec-
lions in addition to the compensation
allowed last year.
W. 81. Lane and Elmer Dusing
submitted bonds from Citizens Trust
and Guaranty Company of West Vir-
ginia in the sum of $500 each, and
same were accepted, subject to in
spection by the attorney.
A committee from the fire depart
ment, with A. S. cambridge as spokes-
man, appeared before the council and
requested that the matter of the re-
moval of the old market house build
ing be again taken up. A committee
composed of Messrs. Humrickhouse,
Hodges and Billmyer was appointed
to confer with the Odd Fellows upon
this proposition. The Misses Magru-
der were relieved of erroneous as
sessment to the amount of $500. At
ter passing bills to the amount Of
1913 SO, council adjourned.

Simple Way to Cure Catarrh by HyOmei
Without Stomach Dosing.

1t is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to
cure nasal catarrh. 1t cannot be
cured except the catarrhal germs that
are present in the nose, throat and
lungs have first been killed.
Direct local treatment by breat D.
ing Hyomei through the pocket In
haler that comes with every outfit, is
absolutely necessary to kill the Ca
tsrrhal germs and prevent their
growth and formation.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
the smartine and raw membrane Of
the air passages in the nose, throat
and lungs, kills off the catarrhal
germs and rids the system of the last
traces of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit con-
sists of hard rubber inhaler which
can be carried In the purse or vest
pocket, a medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei, and costs only ore
dollar, while extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
Remnants Pharmacy positively
guarantees cure when Hyomei Is
used in accordance with the simple
directions on the package, or they
will refund the money. This GER
tainly shows their faith and belief IL
the virtues of Hyomei.

Now Is the lime to Pay Up.

During the past week the REGISTER
has sent out number of bills to chose
of its subscribers who are in arrears,
and we hope all of them will be
promptly responded to. We cannot
keep the paper at the low price of a
dollar year unless subscriptions are
paid promptly, and we intend to drop
from our list those who do not appre-
ciate the REGISTER sufficiently to pay
up once a year. We don't want to
lose any of our subscribers, but ii
those who have received bills do not
respond within week or two we will
have to cut them off. We'd like II
still better if everybody would pay
without waiting for bill.
