Monkton, N, O. r. R.-The many ole
friends in this neighborhoood Of Mr.. Johr
| William Shepperd were saddened to learn o.
his death in Belmar, n. j.. Thursday morn.
| ing of last week, aged n years. Mr.. Sheppert
formerly owned property at st. James post
Office, where he conducted blacksmith and
| wheelwright shops and an excellent country
store. He was also postmaster during Cleve-
lands administration. About q years ago
after having met with business reverses Mr.
Shepperd left the Manor and went to Whining
ton, Del and from thence to Trenton, N. j..
where he opened the first light lunch room in
that city and was very successful. His son-in'
law, Mr.. Harry ]. Stout was partner in the
business. About six years ago he retired, sell.
ing his interest to Mr.. Stout, and since, with
bis wife, made his home with his daughter
Mrs. Fl. J. Stout. Mr.. Shepperd was man oi
sterling honesty. So keen was his sense 0i
honor that when he was so successful in busi-
ness he came back to the Manor and paid every
cent-he owed, when he had already-so far as
the law went-satisfed his creditors Few
men in this age. where the race for the dollar
is so keen. are scrupulous about honor unless
compelled to be so by law. He is survived by
his widow, Mrs. M. Katherine Shepperd, and
two daughters-Mrs. Harry ]. Stout and Mrs.
Annie Thurman, and one grandson, Mr.. Leroy
Stout. His funeral took place from the resi-
dence of his son-in-law, Mr.. Stout, at Belmar,
thence to st. Roses Catholic Church. Inter-
ment was at Trenton, N. j.
The fire fiend has been unloosed this week
on the Manor. On last Monday morning the
home of Mrs. William Yost was burned to the
ground, catching fire from a chimney. Mrs.
Yost and family were moving out to make way
for Mr.. Dawster, who had recently rented the
Yost farm. The loss is covered by insurance.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Charles H. Baker g
house was totally destroyed, with most of the
contents, including canned fruit and preserves;
also large lot of potatoes. The unfortunate
part of the occurrence is that the place seems
to be fated as this is the third house that Mr..
Baker has built on the same foundation and
each one has been destroyed by fire, and many
years ago he had little daughter burned so
badly that she died from her injuries in few
days. The fire is supposed to have started
from spark from the chimney igniting the
roof, as it was first seen there.
Mr.. John i. Anderson of the Hillen road.
with Mr.. John Cox of Missouri, visited Mr..
and Mrs. James T. Treadway on the Manor
last week.
Miss Clyde Bouldin, who resides with Mrs.
Herbert Hutchins was severely injured on
last Saturday by being thrown from bucking
horse that stumbled while in the act Of buck
ing. Miss Bouldin is improving.
A black snake measuring Al feet was killed
on the porch of Mrs. Annie H. Perdue near
Monkton. These reptiles seem to be numerous
this season.
The Japanese tea under the auspices of the
Ladies' Guild was attended by about 200 peo-
pie, who enjoyed an excellent supper and spent
q pleasant hour. The Manors fairest young
debutantes and bellies were gowned in japanese
costumes, even to the penciled eyebrows and
