This line is 12n kilometers long

arrivals it must not be forgotten that

NEW FEATURE At
THE STONE HOME
Ladies viii Hold Their Usual Holiday
Sale Latter Part of Next
Week.

The ladies of the Stone Settlement
Home have had in contemplation for
some time the establishment of a day
nursery at the Home. 1t is the pur-
pose of those in charge of the Home
to open such nursery just as soon as
Ehe conditions will permit. 1t had
been planned that the work would
have been commenced by this time
but the illness of Miss LOOMS, has
prevented the perfecting of the plans
Since the disaster at the Queen
street crossing the Home has opened
its doors for such purposes and one
child three years old has been taken
care of during the day while the
mother attended to what work sne
could secure. The father was Ill at
the time and the Home took care of
the child.
1t is the intention of the directors
to take care of the children and FEED
and care for them. This work will
he furthered by a charitably disposed
gentleman who will work in con-
junction with Mrs. II. P. Thorn and
secure a sufficient fund to defray the
expenses of the new undertaking.
The annual sale of the Home. o.
Christmas goods will take place this
year on Friday and Saturday, Decem
Der IL and12, in the sun parlor a.
the home of Mrs. Lee NJ. Bender or
South Maple avenue, next to The
government building
There will be many fancy articles
baskets, candies and other things OF
sale at that time. Most Of these ar
ticles are made in the Home out of mi
terials that have been donated for th'
work. There is large quantity o
burnt wood work this year and som
children articles that will also be o.
erd.
This sale has always been popula
and affords an income to the HON
that goes far towards keeping up thi
very worthy institution.
1t Is to be hoped that the amour
realized this year will be far in exces
of what it has been in former years.

u HE had been gazing long and ear

anything but the CLEAN of acquisition.
Still. bis actions were not calculated

Some new machinery has already
seen secured and it will be installed.
This will be followed by an increase
IN the working force and a cores

Ia conversation with representa-

Thompson spoke of some matters,
which at present this paper is not
at liberty to give to the public. This
much however can be be said and
that is that the matters in contem-

sage to the city and will be in line
with the spirit of improvement that
IS at present working the city.
As soon as the financial conditions
clear little these matters will be
taken up and Martinsburg has IN
store some surprises that will be very
gratifying.
Mr., Thmopson with Mr.. Brantner
visited the new Y. M. G.. A. building
