Married, or Single ?


They had lively times at Bridgeport,
opposite 'Shepherdstown, last Saturday
night. A charming young lady, Miss Ada
Wolf, of Pennsylvania, arrived at Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. H. Knode's on visit, and
because William Fleury, one OF the bridge
workers, seemed to be deeply interested
in her-not to say Smitten-his fellow
bridge-men jumped TO the conclusion that
she was his bride and that he was con-
cealing the fact in order to escape his just
dues in the way OF ioShing. In order that
they should be the victims of no such de-
ception, the bridge workers determined to
be on the safe side and give the devoted
couple an old-faShioned serenade, arguing
that if they were not married now the
concert would do for some future time.
Accordingly, about II O'Clock Saturday
night they surrounded Mr.. Knode's resi-
dence and opened up the music. They
had hand organ, horns, horse fiddles,
tin pans, comets, flutes, harps, sackbutS,
psalteries, dulcimers and all kinds of in
struments OF modernand ancient inven-
ton. The noise could be heard in three
States. Finally the bride and groom, if
such they be, had TO appear and make &C
acknowledgement of the concert, the gen.
tleman gladly coughing ~ enough money
make the whole crowd dead drunk. Upon
his earnest entreaty that they return to
Shepherdstown and refresh themselves,
they departed, but, alas when they got
here all places of liquid cheer were closed
and everybody had to retire SOBER Some
of them, however, made UP for il on dec
Grafton day.
The question as to whether tbe hand
some young lady is Miss or Mrs. is yet
unanswered

Not only will the new pennies about to
be coined bear the head of Abraham Lin
coin, but the inscription "In God We
Trust" will 'appear upon the coin. The
penny marks radical departure in Amer
lean coinage. Heretofore United States
coins have borne only the heads of Lib

Chairman ]. B. VanMetre, of the Con-
federate batte-marker committee requests
that all collectors report in Charles Town
on Saturday, June 10, at Up. m. The eff
forts OF this committee to raise funds to
mark the places where engagements took
place in Jefferson county during the Civ
il War is laudable one, and it is hoped
that our people all over the county will
respond literally to the call IF the gentle
men having the matter in hand.
Mrs. A. S. cambridge has recently COM
pleted her book on George Michael Bed
niger, a native of Shepherdstown and one
of her ancestors who had such stirring ad-
ventures as soldier and pioneer as to make
story of absorbing interest. The book
is now in press and will be ready for cir
culation in few weeks. II makes VOL
ume OF DDS pages, and we are sure will be
of intense interest to our people. Mrs
cambridge is also preparing history of
Shepherdstown that promises to be a very
valuable publication.
The Register last week referred to the
photograph OF Mrs. Lizzie Brown, Of
Buena Vista, Va, recently taken by a
photographer of that place, in which ap-
pears, behind Mrs. Brown, a shadowy
picture of her dead husband. One Of
these pictures is now in the possession OF
N. &. w. Agent c. H. Moffett, of this
place, whose family is connected by mar
rage with that OF the Browns. Mr.. Moi
fett, who knew Mr.. Brown intimately,
says that the shadow picture in the pho
tograph is close likeness ofthe deceased.
Although the picture may be caused by
the peculiar way in which curtain hangs
and receives the light, it is to say the least
a very strange affair.
The grand and petit jurors in the courts
OF this State will have a material increase
in their allowance for attendance at court
under the new law which became effective
June 22d. Hereafter jurors will be allow
ed $3.50 day in felony cases, and the re-
mainder OF the jurors will receive not less
than 81 so nor more than $3.50 per day,
the fee to be fixed by the county court.
The grand jurors heretofore were limited
to sitting of four days at $3.50 per day,
but hereafter they can draw pay for ten
days, if they are in session that length of
time, and the allowance shall not be less
than 81 80 or more than $3.50 per day, to
be fixed by the county court. No allow
ance is made for payment of witnesses
that are called before the grand jury.
The jury costs in every case tried, which
has been heretofore fixed at Sc, has been
increased TO IS.

REAL COOPERATION,
How a New Jersey Grange
Helped the Fruit Growers.

Better Freight Rates Were Secured
When the Farmers Got Together and
Demanded Them-co- operation In
Massachusetts and Connecticut.
How the grange can cooperate in Sc
curing better railroad freight rates is
very well illustrated at Moorestown.
N. j. The grange at that place APP
pointed what is known as a grange
strawberry committee to investigate
the cause Of the delayed shipments of
strawberries to the markets and the
impossibility of their getting top mar
ket prices in Philadelphia, where the
markets are glutted most Of the time.
1t was formerly the custom to cart the
berries to Philadelphia, there being no
satisfactory freight service, and fire.
quently the crops did not net the
growers anything.
Now by organization and work of
the grange strawberry committee all
this is changed. The berries are no
longer all carted to Philadelphia to
glut the market, but by the aid of
the fast freight cars can be diverted to
any city where there is a shortage.
and, as the cars are refrigerated, they
can be held day or so if necessary.
although this matters little to the
farmers. as the buyers are on the
ground there and they receive their
checks for the berries when they are
loaded on the cars. all further expense
being borne by the buyer, not the
farmer.
also prevented knocking down" by
the commission men, practice in the
past only too frequent. One farmer
from Moorestown. thinking he was not
getting proper returns from his ber-
ries shipped to the New York market
about q year ago. went on to that city
and purchased some of his own ber-
ries at price considerably above the
returns forwarded to him. An inter
view and a demand for the money
due or a warrant for arrest to be is
sued only too quickly brought settle
ment. Since then commission houses
have been more honest with the farm
er, in that section at least.
On this subject Of cooperation the
American Agriculturist has this to say
Cooperation is very properly being
urged in season and out of season by
farmers. 1t is the great modifying
factor they must control before re-
ceiving profit which is their due. Spe-
cific progress has been made the past
twelve months. For some time Maine
has been doing excellent cooperative
work, largely through the grange. 1t
would seem the grange is the ideal
vehicle through which to launch asso-
ciated effort, inasmuch as in that
farmers are already organized. Massa-
chusetts grange started out last fall
with a cooperative company, and it is
reported that better than 100000
worth of business has been done al
ready. The Connecticut state grange
is also doing a good work in this line.
Good. But great care must be taken
to allow no fash in the pan. Dozens
Of pitfalls are to be avoided. and there
are plenty Of those who are plotting
the downfall Of cooperation among
farmers. To direct these enterprises
let us choose men in whom we have
the utmost confidence as to ability,
capacity and integrity and then give
them our unqualified support both
morally and financially"

1srrien's Grapes, Apples, Peaches and
Pears Suffer From Cold.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Oct. 49,
While the snow storm and cold wave
Of Monday night and Tuesday did not
do as much damage as was at first
thought, the outlook for the fruit crop
is gloomy. II the temperature goes
much lower, they say, what remains
ungathered of Berrien county's grape
crop, together with the apples, pears
and peaches still on the trees, will be
a total loss.
The wind so far has done the only
heavy damage to crops, the frost hav-
ing not been severe enough to harm
the fruit. The loss by the blowing
down of fruit during the gale will
amount to several thousand dollars.
South Haven, Mich, Oct. 13.-The
severe storm, with high winds, rain,
hail, snow and sleet, since Sunday
night has done thousands of dollars
damage to the apple, pear and peach
crops. Growers are viewing with APP
prehension the outlook for a still
greater drop in the temperature.
Cadillac, Mich, Oct. 13.-Nearly
three inches of snow covers the
ground Fruit men are hopeful of
saving much of the crop which re-
mains unharvested
Traverse City, Micn., Oct. 13.-In-
stead of destroying the fruit crop in
the section, as was at first feared, the
cold wave and snow storm of Monday
night and Tuesday has been of great
benefit to the growers. There was not
enough frost to hurt this years crop,
it is said, but enough to kill a new
sort of fall scale which had attacked
the trees and threatened to do great
damage to the crop of next year.
There is still about six inches of snow
on the ground here and the fall con
tinued until Tuesday night, but the
temperature has gone but little lower.

A COMMEMORATE IDEA.
Maine State Pathological Society
Meets With the Grange.

Maine State Pathological Society
Meets With the Grange.
The more the grange co-operates
with county and state agricultural and
horticultural. dairy and live stock as
sociations the better for all concerned.
An illustration is at hand. Last June
the Maine State Pathological society
held field meeting with East Hebron
grange. The forenoon was taken up
by demonstrations in spraying and the
thinning of fruit and in general or
chard research. In the afternoon
there were lecture on cultivation and
talks on the New England apple show
and apple enemies-insects and fungus.
This leads the Maine Farmer to say
that it is much gratified that the Of
ficials Of the society are adopting this
plan Of combining forces with oranges
for field day demonstration work.
