There mas been vast deal of NOV
ing during the past week in town and
country-more, it seems than usual.
Those unlucky ones who were obliged
to move last week in the snow and
rain had most unpleasant experiences.
Monday and Tuesday were ideal days,
and good many folks waited until
then to change their places of abode.
We regret that Rev. D. F. Eutsler
will not longer be resident of Shep-
herdstown. He has served the South
ern Methodist congregations of this
circuit for the past two years most
faithfully, and he and his family will
be greatly missed. He goes to Lou.
doun circuit. very excellent charge
with headquarters at Purcellville, Va.

THE week. Under provision of law

now obligatory upon the town off.

At meeting of the congregation of
st. Peters Lutheran Church last Sun
day the building committee was au-
thorized to at once have plans and
specifications prepared and to solicit
bids for the erection of a new church
edl6ce on the lot owned by the church
opposite Shepherd College. The com.
mlttee has met with gratifying sue
cess in soliciting subscriptions, and 1t
is hoped that the new church may be
under contract next month.
Mr.. James McMurran, of Hillsville,
Va, who had been called here by the
death of his sister, Miss Lula McMur-
ran, met with painful accident last
week at the Entler' Hotel. In de-
scending a stairway he made a miss
step aud fell very heavily, He was
badly bruised, and wrenched his hip
and knee so painfully it was at first
feared that he had dislooated or bro.
ken them. He has since been improv-
ing, however. and though his injuries
are painful they are not serious.
In striking contrast with last week,
when it showed and rained almost ev-
cry day, the weather this week has
been beautiful. The last day of March
was very disagreeable one, with
snow and rain all day, but the lst OF
April was bright and clear and enjoy
able. 1t has been mild and sunshiny
ever since, and spring flowers are put
ting out and the grass is becoming
green. The redbirds and robins are
numerous and their sweet songs fill
the air at times. This first touch Of
spring is most grateful.
An effortfs to be made on the part
of a number of the business men OF
the town to induce the Norfolk q
Western to install telephone in its
depot at Shepberdstown. The extern
sion of the telephone system in our
community has now reached the
point where subscribers fully realize
it's convenience, and phone in the
railroad station would be an accom-
mediation to many persons. Some OF
the heaviest shippers at this place
are pressing for the phone. and we
hope that the railroad company will
grant the request.
Cliff City Lodge, Independent Or
der Shield of Honor, met Tuesday
