laid. Let us have our streets presentable
by the time our summer visitors come.
George Mile, a colored man, was ar
rested on Monday on the charge of buying
liquor for an intoxicated man, but the ev-
idence seemed insufficient and he was
released. There seems to be determi-
nation on the part of our officers and the
temperance people to have our laws en-
forced, and those who violate them will
sooner or later be caught.
Road Supervisor J. A. Link is having
considerable stretch of new turnpike made
south of Duffields, where the road has
been bad for some time. A good many
persons would like to see the public road
from Shepherdstown to Shenandoah
Junction improved. Most of it is in ex-
cellent order, but there are some pretty
bad spots that need attention.

many carp in the Potomac river at Shop

ever taken from the river. II took two
hours to land the fish, which was caught
on linen thread.

the work has been carried expeditiouSly
on without an accident, under the direc-
ton OF Superintendent Facy.
A city visitor in ShepherdStown re-
marked the other day that he had seen no
town of the size of ours that had as good
sidewalks, and he complimented the place
on this evidence of improvement. ltcan-
not but be gratifying to our people to have
the good opinion of visitors, and it ought
to be an incentive to Our city fathers to push
along the good work still more earnestly.
There are still many places where new
sidewalks are needed.
