tected from the weather, step aboard the
cars with no danger of breaking bones or
Stralning muscles? No steps to 90 up and

coming more serious each day.

Shepherdstown is the cleanest and pretti-
est town in the Valley.

1t is said that Rev. N. c. Bracket has
bought the old John Browns fort and will
re-erect ii on the Storer College grounds
at Harper'S Ferry. This building, it will
be recalled, was torn down and removed
to Chicago during the worlds fair some
wears ago, and was afterward brought
back and rebuilt on piece of land mile
or two from Harper'S Ferry. II was so
out-of-the-way that practically no one
visited if, and it has been neglected and
almost forgotten. II would be most ap-
propriate to give it final location at
Storer College.
The Haltown Graded School observed
Library Day December Sd by having ex-
ercises to which the patrons and friends
of the school were invited. The pro-
pramme was mostly taken from the routine
work of the school, but such selections
were made as would likely interest the
visitors and also harmonic with the pur-
pose of the day. The children sang songs,
o ave concert Rotations, physical culture
drills. and dramatized versions OF classi-
cal stories. At the conclusion OF the eX-
ercises the visitors and children contribute
ed snug little sum for the purpose OF
making additions to the school library.
Now that the new railroad station is in
