Charlie Greenfield is dead. Charlie
was a sort Of half witted colored mar
who has been familiar figure about
Shepherdstown for number of years
conspicuous chiefly because Of his
spontaneous hilarity and his ability
to outlaugh any thing or any body II
this part Of the country. 1t did moi
REQUIRE much wit to set Charlie going
aud on the slightest provocation roar'
of laughter that could be heard for g
block would emanate from the enor'
nous cavity that he called his mouth
Charles death was brought about IN
a peculiar way. He had an irregular
manner of feeding and 1t the same
time a vast capacity. A few days age
some young men offered to give hin
all the pies he could eat. He began
to store them away in his usual capa'
BILE manner, and, both parties being
game, he dug his grave with his teeth;
BE got more than he could digest, and
that night became seriously i'll. Ht
could not be relieved, and his death
ensued Tuesday night. Charlie had
his ups and downs, and was not with
ont faults. Nevertheless, his merry
laugh will be missed by many people
70 whom it was sort of tonic when
thew felt the blues coming on.

Circuit Court.

The Lawrence Circuit court closed
last Saturday morning in time to al
low Judge Hannah to leave for FL
lott county on the $50 train. Cir
cult court began at Sandy Hook
Monday morning.
It is regretted that the term
could not have continued four
weeks, as there was considerable
amount Of business that could not
be reached. 1t is said that the in-
tention was to provide for four
weeks of court at each of these
terms, but by some means the spring
term was cut TO three weeks in
the arrangement Of the calendar.
Judge Hannah is catching up with
the work as rapidly as possible
and the August term of four
weeks viii show much Roadway to-
ward clearing the docket.
