CELEBRATING ANNIVERSARY.
Mr.. Charles Tunnel Has Passed the
77th Milestone of His Life.

1t is not often that one enjoys this
life for " years and retains both
health and strength. This, however. is
the occasion of a quiet celebration to-
day at the home of MIR. Charles
Thumel, on South Queen street. Mr..
Thumel is enjoying today the congrat-
ulations of his friends, and is happily
surrounded by his wife, who is some
years his junior, and his sons, Mr..
Charles, of Baltimore; Father August,
of Buffalo. and Brother Alfonsos, of
St. Vincent, now stationed in North
Carolina. Mr.. Thumel is, of course, en-
joying the occasion and is exceedingly
glad that he has his sons with him
for the time.
Mr.. Thumel came to Martinsburg be-
fore the war, and has been one of the
city's best known citizens for so years.
He came here and went to work in the
Baltimore and Ohio shops when they
were first opened. He was a baker by
trade and during the war was pressed
into service as a baker and turned out
bread for the army here and at Win
chester. He still delights to tel of his
early days in this country and of his
experiences when a young man.
Mr. Tunnels many friends join in
best wishes and a hope of many hap

STOLE BARBER OUTFIT.
Man Arrested in Berryville for Steal
ina Tools From a Local Barber.

John W. Martin, alias john Miller,
from anywhere, was arrested in Berry
vile Wednesday night, thence taken
to Winchester and brought here on
Thursday night and locked up, charg-
ed with stealing a lot of barber tools
from John Thompson, a barber on
West Burke street, near Queen.
Martin had a hearing Friday even
ing before Justice Felker, who held
him for the grand jury without bail.
Martin had worked a couple of days
in Mr.. Thompson's barber shop. On
Tuesday night he skipped to Winches-
ter, taking 6 razors, 3 pairs barber
shears, 2 pairs hair clippers, a razor
strop, combs, etc. from Mr.. Thompson,
the goods being valued at $26. Later
it was learned that he had left Win
c4ester and gone to Berryville, and
there he was arrested as stated. Mar
tin had sold some of the '-utfit to a
man in Berryville for 81. This was re-
covered all but fifty cents, together
with the tools sold. The balance of
the kit was not to be found.
Martin told Justice Fefker that he
was under the impression that Mr..
Thompson had presented him with the
tools. but that story was regarded as
too fishy.

ESTIMATE ON APPLECROP
Apple Buyers Association Make
Their Annual Report.
LARGER CROP THAN LAST YEAR
West Virginia Said to Have More
Apples Than in 1e~o6-Report of
Executive mi


MIR. C. p. Rockwell returned Friday
from Atlantic City, where he attended
the annual meeting of the Information
al Apple Shippers League. Mr.. William
l.. Wagner, OF Chicago, was elected
president; A. Warren Patch, of Bos-
ton, secretary, and G. p. Rothwell,
chairman OF the executive committee.
This is the sixth time that Mr..
Rothwell has been elected chairman
OF the executive committee. The
league issues four crop bulletins each
year and the statistics are all compil-
ed at Mr.. Rothwells Office in East
Palestine, Ohio, where he has a force
of clerks who are familiar with the
work and handle all the reports The
league is composed of from $50 to 300
operators, who know the condition OF
the crop all over the United States,
Canada and Nova Scotia. The reports
gotten ia by the executive commit
tee are based on the apple crop of the
previous year. There is every precau-
ton taken to make the estimate as ac'
.dsass 10 possible so that the buyer
as well as the grower will be exactly
Informed as to the conditions.
1t is estimated that the apple crop
in West Virginia this year will be %
per cent. more than last year. In this
state the crop in the Eastern Panhan-
die is estimated at 2 IL times what
1t was last year and the crop in the
western part of the state will run from
1-3 to IL of what it vas in 1906.
Mr.. Rothwell says that there Will be
as many apples in Berkeley county
this year as there were last. There
are more orchards bearing and this
will make up for the deficiency on or
chards that have not a full crop. The
Yorks and the Ben Davis have a good
Yield, but the Grimes Golden are very
short.
The estimates given below will be OF
interest to the growers in this section
as it will show where the crop this
Year Is light and where apples are
plentiful, as compared with the crop
of last year.

siderable excess over n year ago.
The Ben Davis group and as far west
as Colorado show a heavy decline
from one year ago which more than
offsets the increase in ele East, so

The while you whine and lick my hand.
