II is said that application for license for
a liquor saloon at Bridgeport, just oppo-
site Shepherdstown, has been made TO
the court in Hagerstown. The temper
ance people of this place will fight the
issuance Of the license, as they feel that
it would to certain degree nullify the eff
feet of the recent dry victory here. The
Maryland court has as a rule courteously
considered the wishes of Shepherdstown
people upon this subject, and we rather
expect that Judge Keedy will give heed
to the sentiment of the people of this place.
1t is said that the Hagerstown Brewing
Company is behind the scheme.
The Methodist Church of this place has
been closed for improvement and repairs,

new steel ceiling will be put in place, the
whole church will be decorated and re-
painted inside, and general renovation
will be made. The windows will also be
changed, and pretty designs of transfer
paper will replace the present unsatisfac-
tory painting. The pastor, Rev. w. A.
Lyle, is greatly interested in the work
and is giving it his attention.
