Gone With a HandSomer Man.

The marriage OF Thomas Leggett
of Shepherdstown, and Miss Olive
Turner, of Martinsburg, proved to be
but short period OF connubial fe-
licity. 1t will be recalled that a few
weeks ago the couple were married
on the stage in the town hall in Shep-
herdstown as a feature of an Indian
medicine show. They found en-
ployment with the show, which went
from this place to Berkeley Springs.
The Morgan Messenger says that Mrs.
Leggett transferred her affections to
Harry Thompson, aged l9. years, a
clerk IN the Hotel Washington in
that place, and they agreed to elope.
Accordingly they drove to Hancock
Station, where they took train for
Cumberland. Young Thompson 6
father went after his son. and found
that the woman had again proven
tickle, for the two had separated within
few days, the boy having gone to
Mountain Lake Park. where he got a
place as clerk in hotel. The girl
seems to have found still another ad.
mirer, for she was seen in Martins
burg with man last Thursday, hav'
ing been recognized by several per-
sons from Shepherdstown. They
knew her by her hat. Young Lsggett
is quoted as having said that few
hours after he was married che knew
he was hooked good and hard" II
is said that the woman in the case is
originally from Shenandoah, Va
She evidently believes that variety Is
the spice Of life.

Business Change.

BUSINESS CnanSS.
An important business change has
taken place at Bakerton, this county,
the thriving village where the Bakers
have their extensive limekllns and
quarries. Jesse A. Engle, who with
Preston S. Millard has for number
of years successfully helped manage a
large general store there under the
name OF Willard & Engle, has sold his
interest to j. Strider Moler, and the
new firm is now Willard & Moler.
Mr.. Moler has also been running a
store there FOR some years, but has
closed it up and will give his personal
attention to the new enterprise. He
will, however, continue his store at
Keller, and Mr.. Willard will also run
his store at Millville. The new firm
is composed of two Of the most capable
and popular business men of the coun-
ty, and we have no doubt that they
will not only hold but increase the
large trade that they have heretofore
enjoyed. Mr.. Engle, who retires from
the merchandise business, has cold to
Mr.. Millard his residence at Bakerton
for 81 500, and has bought from the
heirs of the late Jacob Staley the farm
at Uvilla, containing SO acres, for
which he paid $3.50 an acre. He
will take good long rest, which he
has fairly earned. and will later i'm
prove the place he has purchased.
He gets, possession of the dwelling.

deeply interested in reciprocal de

from district No. 23 follows:
"Our plea is this: We have voted
to tax ourselves in this district to
the amount of $1261 for improve
ment of several roads in our district
and we do not deem It advisable for
man to supervise the expenditure
of the funds of our district that has
made dismal failure of anything
he ever attempted for himself. And
this last year he spent time getting
people to volunteer work, but he
failed to let them work out the same.

privilege to do the'work they volun-
teered TO do. Those volunteering
and not working are o. Butler. G

&c. voLZ."
That from district No. 33h, in
which no appointment has yet been
made follows:
We, your petitioners, beg leave TO
present that the road supervisor OF
our district has not given satisfac-
tion 10 majority OF the legal voters
of the district. and we ask that he
be not-reappointed; there was several
in the district that he failed to elth-
er make work the road or pay their
tax. He also failed to spend the
money and 70 have the work done
judiciously In the district, and furth-
er, as we have voted a special road
tax this year we wish the money
used to the best advantage"
