Meeting Of the Town Council.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
town council of Shepherdstown was
held last Monday evening, all the
members present except Mr.. Boswell.
The street committee reported that
work authorized at the Beethoven
and Adams properties had been COM
pleted. The electric light committee
reported that lights rec ommended had
been put in, and the mayor was au-
thorized to have the pole in front OF
the Welshans building made safe.
Treasurer Reinhart submitted his re-
port, showing balance of $2l4.39 IN
hand.
Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover presented a
statement concerning the sidewalk
along his property on Princess street
laid by order of the street committee,
in which he protested against the pro-
cedure as ,irregular, improper and I'M
friendly, inasmuch as the pavement
was put down without consulting him
as to price, the sort o. material to be
used, the width, or other particulars.
Mr. 3..,zAoover declared that the as
Stunning to build any walk whatever
for him was wholly unnecessary, and
the chairman was fully and plainly SO
informed, that his method and action,
both in manner and spirit, were utter
" uncalled fer, and neither fair nor
right. Mr.. Beltzhoover offered to pay
for the work by rendering the con-
tractors own note (made to B. s. Pen
dleton in 1908 and assigned to Mr..
Beltzhoover) in part payment, balance
to be paid in cash, iand!if this was &C.
cepted he would waive all violation Of
his legal rights. The contractor indi-
Gated his unwillingness to settle on this
basis. Mr.. BeltzhooVer' statement In
this event further protested against
the council paying or drawing any or
der against him in favor Of the contract
or, the note for $ll2.49, with interest,
being rendered as set-of to that ex-
tent, for more than balance due after
crediting the said note and he mott.
fed the council that he would in that
event stand upon his legal rights in
the matter.
The statements above referred to
were received by the council and or
dered filed as a matter ofrecord. The
mayor reported that the ordinance re-
lating to certain slaughter-houses out
side Of the corporation limits could
not be enforced because of lack Of jur-
isdiction. Mayor Schley reported pro-
gress in the matter Of securing data
concerning a system of waterworks.
He was continued as committee to
investigate the matter. The town
sergeant was granted leave of absence
for fifteen days, provided he furnish ?
satisfactory substitute at his own ex-
pense. A letter from Attorney j. M.
Woods, relating to the pavement of
the Misses Markell, was read. After
passing a number OF bills, council ad-
Iourned to meet the second Monday
in August.

Baseball News.

There's no abatement of the base
ball fever in Sbepherdstown, and oul
boys are still playing winning ball
We painted the town red last week.
Thursday night our team came home
from Winchester, and though they had
been beaten at that place, a big crowd
of enthusiastic local rooters met them
at the station with the band and
marched them to the college campus
amid great cheering. After the ap-
plause of the multitude had Quoted
down speeches of congratulation were
made by friends of the team, who
praised the players for going against
professional players and rendering
such good account of themselves.
Page Andrews made appropriate re.
spouse.
Friday the team went to Brunswick,
accompanied by a considerable mum.
Der of rooters. A hsir.raising game
was played there. The score stood
one to nothing in favor of Brunswick
until the ninth inning, and Shepherds
town thought it was all over. Then,
when two hands were out, Musser led
batting streak that brought in two
runs and the game was ours. We
hung on each others neck in exu-
berance of JOY. When the victors
reached home at 9 o'clock that night
We made triumphal march from the
station to the paolic square with the
band playing proudly.
Tuesday manager Harry Downs
came over from Martinsburg with the
avowed intention of taking the conceit
out Of Shepherdstown. He had with
him the flower of Martinsburg players,
and they had blood in their eye. En-.
couraging rooters came along to cheer
them on aud a tiny niger boy made
a mascot wonderful to see. But it
was no use, Page Andrews pitched a
game that they couldn't circumvent
and his support was Of the right kind
to prevent runs. In the first inning
each side scored. Then each side got
a goose egg four times in succession
In the sixth each again made a run,
and there was still tie. In the seventh
inning Judy Rogers made two.bag-
ger, Andrews and E. Wood likewise
found the ball, and we got in the
third run that saved the game. Sub
sequent proceedings were not inter.
estlng. 1t was fine game and the
spectators enjoyed it thoroughly. Joe
Triplett umpired, aud if he erred at
all it was on the side of mercy to the
visitors. Nicodemus and Trenary
were the battery for the visitors and
played good ball, as did also Emmert
at fret base. This was our third con-
secutive victory over Martinsburg.
We hope, however, that the baseball
enthusiasts from that village will not
become discouraged.

Castle County Agricultural Fair AS
sociation. A meeting of the general

inent horsemen of the country.

patton.
To Have a midway"
The grounds will be laid off with q
most attractive midway" and the
falxrs with the usual county fair at
fractions will be there. Plans to en-
large this feature are in shape and the
management promises the most attrac-
tive department of the kind ever shown
in this county.
A new plan for the special premiums
will be adopted. Those interested viii
be asked by letter to contribute to the
Special fund. either merchandise OF

cooperation given this feature in past
years and it feels that both the doror
and the exhibitor will gain much by
this new plan.
Women's Department.
In the women's department, as well
as IN the live stock department. the
premium lists have been increased.
Mrs. J. Leslie Eastburn, the capable
head of the former department, has
sub-divided many of the classes. and
rearranged a number Of others, giving
a larger competitive field and thereby
increasing the interest in this work
It has been decided TO charge a nomi-
nal entry fee in the live stock depart
ments and to Increase the premiums
the management feels that in this way
the high standard of the exhibits will
be maintained and both the exhibitor
and the visitor win profit by the
change.

Our Soldier BOYS.

OHI Buys
TO day we stand around the graves
OF soldiers, brave and true.
Some wore the uniform of gray,
While others wore the blue.
2 ney fought and died for freedoms cause;
Were to their country true.
God bless the noble boys who wore
The colors gray and blue.
When the war-cloud burst upon them,
On that April morning bright.
At once their hearts responded:
They were ready fer the fight.
They hurried to their country's aid,
The noble brave and true;
an glory to the boy who wore
The colors gray and blue.
The North and South were severed then.
Between them there was strife:
Each fought for home and fireside.
Fer mother and for wife.
Now many sleep beneath the sod.
The faithful. brave and true;
To-day the North and South clasp hands,
Above the gray and blue.
They answered to the roll-call.
When their country needed air;
on the field Of blood and carnage
They were found-and not afraid.
When the roll is called beyond the star
Among the faithful few
VIII be found the gallant soldier boys
Who wore the grav and blue

Poultry Exhibits.

Poultry E<hibits.
The poultry department Is always a
strong attraction. a-24 under its usual
progressive management the visitors
will see the best poultry show Of the
year.
The secretary has plans in shape for
the largest farm implement and ma
chinery display ever seen in the COM
munity.
Many of the important firms have
signifed their intention TO be present
with working models and souvenirs.
Each year these men report an in
crease in their sales through this
source. and the date Of this fair was
anxiously awaited.
The Mercantile Association and the
Board Of Trade have heen asked to
confer with the executive committee
to plan for an Mercantile and Home
Industry display.
Reports of this conference win be
published in a short time. abut there
viii doubtless be a series Of attractive
displays on the grounds.
Day For the Children.
Tuesday. September I, has been set
apart as children's day, when children
under IA years will be admitted free.
The children win be given an oppor-
tunity to see the enlarged fair and en-
Joy an afternoon Of recreation and in
structlon. 1t has not been decided TO
have any special features for the chill
dren for this day. but the committee
has many plans under consideration,
and there viii he no lack of fun.
Owing to the unusual interest mani
tested at this early date by the public
generally. the fair IN all probability
viii eclipse all former efforts this year.
Ever since the cid Hazel Dell fair
ceased to be there has been a lament
that the county fair Is a thing Of the
past
The boys and girls OF the present day
are strangers To the real agricultural
fair. although the Changers the past
/ few years have been working gradually
up to a return TO the big country fair
and the fair being planned for this
year doubtless will be a nearer ap-
proach to the old-time exhibition with
/ its many attractive features and its
exciting horse races as can be hoped
| for
There is not much doubt but that
! the committee viii get the support from
the public and those in a position tC
make exhibits as such a worthy pur-
pose deserves.
