rhese Have Clone to Their Reward.

A good woman passed from earth to
heaven at an early hour this morning when
Mrs. Mary McAnly breathed her last, and
in her death OUR community has lost one
of its most pious residents. On June 18th
last Mrs. McAnly was stricken with par
alysis, and the attack was so severe that
from the first there seemed no hope that
she would ever arise from her bed. She
never rallied, and day by day grew
weaker, lapsing into entire unconscious
ness several days ago and quietly pass
ing away this morning about one O'Clock.
Mrs. McAnly was in her 10th year, having
been born in Shepherdstown April 10,
1894. Her parents were Thompson and
Nancy Richard Johnson, most estimable
residents OF this place She was married
on April 20, 1852, TO Henry W.. McAnly,
who was at that time editor of the Shep-
herdstown Register. All of her life was
spent in this place, except few years in
Columbus, Ohio, and Baltimore, Md.
Her husband entered the Union army
during the Civil War and sleeps in an I'M
known grave, the time and manner OF his
death never having been positively as
certained. She is survived by one son,
VIM. T. McAnly, of Dayton, Ohio, and
one daughter, Mrs. Theodore Rogers, OF
this place also sister, Mrs. Helen
Turner, of Boiling Springs, Pa. In the
death of Mrs. McAnly our town and COM
munity mourns the loss of truly good
woman. A member ofthe Lutheran Church
nearly all her life, she exemplified the
religion OF her Lord and Saviour. De-
voted to her church and ever ready to
make sacrifice for its welfare, tull OF good
deeds, charitable in thought and action,
she had the loving respect OF all the peo-
pie, and her example and the influence OF
her godly life will long be felt in this
community. Although her life was not
without sorrow, she had an abiding faith
that sustained her in every trial, and with
sweet patience and loving trust in God
she trod where the path of duty led. Pure
in heart, humble in spirit, faithful unto
death, truly it may be said OF her that
she walked with God" and she must
surely see him face TO face. Her death is
a great loss to the church, the Sunday
school and every organization of the
church, for she was faithful worker in
all of them to the very last. The funeral
service will be held at her late home Fri
day afternoon at four O'Clock, and the
body will be laid TO rest in Elmwood
Cemetery.

Board Of Equalization and Review.

The board of equalization and review
for Jefferson county met in Charles Town
on Monday, and has since been holding
its sessions in that place, going over the
books OF the assessors. The board or
ganized by electing E. Rush Turner, of
ShepherdStown, president, and County
Clerk c. A. Johnson secretary. In draw
ing for the several terms. F. o. Trump
got the term for six years, w. F. Alexan-
der four years and E. r. Turner two
years.
The board finds considerable increase
in the value of real and personal property
in the county, the increase probably
amounting to between half and three
fourhs OF a million dollars. II is likely
that the assessors figures will be still
further increased, as there is a belief that
the full amount Of personal property has
not been returned. Its thought that there
is considerable amount OF stocks and
bonds that have not been returned TO the
assessors, and an effort will be made 10
list these. 1t is serious matter TO give
false returns to the assessor, and there
may be some trouble on this account. II
is possible that some OF the manufacture
ing enterprises in the county may also be
increased. The board will be in session
at several points in the county to hear
complaints as to assessments. As may
be seen from advertisement elsewhere in
this paper, it will be in ShepherdStown
July 18th.

The Town Run takes a Vacation.

Inc tOwn KUN lakes q NdSdtioh.
We came mighty near losing the town
run, one OF Our Oldest and most useful in
stitutions, last Monday. Mayor Martin
noticed that the stream that supplies his
mill had dwindled in the most unaccoun-
table way, and he made an investigation.
Following the course of the run, he found
that the bottom had dropped out of the
bed of the stream where it crosses N. b.
Bakers lot, on Princess street, and that
nearly all the water was going down into
the hole. Being bit curious to know
where the water would reappear, Mr..
Martin put shovelful OF bran into the
hole and then visited the springs near the
river. He found that the water was COM
ing from the blue sulphur spring in the
paper mill lot, other persons having no
ticed that the springs volume had greatly
increased short time before. The water
had evidently followed an underground
course between the lodges OF limestone
rock until it found vent at the sulphur
spring. For many years this spring has
at times acted in very cratic way, and
il is probable that it has long been in
fluenced by the town run. Mr.. Martin
filled up the hole and concerted the bed
of the run.

Public School Affairs.

The board of education for Shepherds
town district met last Monday to appoint
teachers and trustees for the ensuing year.
The board is composed of E. H. Reinhart,
president; and Robert T. Banks and H.
l.. Lyme, the latter the new commissioner
succeeding w. L. Herr Harrison Schley,
the efficient secretary, was elected sec
rotary of the board.
The board elected Charles T. Smooth,
of this place former principal, as the
head of the Shepherdstown Graded
School, in place of Henry T. Wirgman,
who has been principal the past year,
and his salary was fixed at SIS month.
The other teachers of the Shepherdstown
school were reelected as follows:
No. l-Alice Billmyer.
No. bessie Licklider.
No. 3-Alice Banks.
No. &C. Jessie Hoffman.
No. 5-Mrs. A. E. Fairall.
No. ella M. Kelsey.
No. Mrs. Ida Neill
II was ordered that the schools shall
run for period OF nine months, begin
ming September 18th, and that not more
than eight teachers be employed in the
district, outside of the graded school.
The salaries were fixed at $45 month
for No. 1 certificates, $35 for No. 2, and
SIS for No. 3.
The following trustees for the several
sub-districts were appointed:
Sub-District No. 1-E. R. Hill, 3 years.
No. FL. w. Thompson, years.
No. st. o. Link, 3 years.
No. Nv. Lee Banks, 3 years.
No. 5-Chalmers Byers, one year; R.
A. Hammond, 2 years.
No. &C. Harry Whiting, 3 years.
No. II. A. Hiedwohl, 3 years.
There is much criticism of the action of
the board in turning out Prof. Wirgman
without any charges having been pre-
ferred against him or without any notice
having been given him. He is as highly
thought of as any man who has ever
taught in the school, and was popular
alike with the pupils and the patrons.
There is much regret on the part OF many
persons that the board has seen fit to dis
place him.

Threshing the Wheat Crop.

Wheat threshing has commenced, and
H. E. Mundey, who farmed part of the
Aglionby place, at the edge of town, was
the first to get his wheat in the local mar
ket. His crop averaged Is bushels to the
acre, but A. S. cambridge, who threshed
yesterday, reports yield of 10 bushels
to the acre. The general impression is
that the wheat in this section will average
about fifteen bushels to the acre, which
is considerably less than was expected
from the general appearance OF the fields
before harvest. Our local dealers are
Offering sl.l0 a bushel for new wheat
today.
