The Two Town Elections.

The annual corporation election for
town officers in Shepherdstown last Mon
day resulted in the choice OF the follow
ing ticket:
Mayor-U. S. Martin.
Recorder. D. Billmyer.
Councilmen-J. L. Welshans, NJ. E.
Spohn, F. L. Weltzheimer, H. M. Shell
and T. A. Carter.
The election was avery quiet one, bar
ring the offensiveness ofdrunken negroes,
who openly carried about the street a
suit case full of whiskeY in bottles. There
were two other tickets in the field, one
headed Dy r. g. Miller and the other by
]. D. Billmyer, but there was compare
lively little work about the polls except
by Mayor Martin and his friends. They
had their own way and piled up big
majority for the ticket. This is Mayor
Martins second term. The temperance
people took no part in this contest.
We are sorry to say that at the election
on the liquor license issue on Saturday
the temperance advocates lost by vote
of 40 to llS, the liquor people winning
by the slender majority OF two. The
Anti-Saloon League and the temperance
people made vigorous campaign and
used every legitimate means to win, but
they were defeated by the votes OF some
of those who have heretofore voted dry
but were influenced to vote wet this year.
The saloon advocates were thoroughly
organized and had their workers all over
town. One Hagerstown saloon-keeper
was active at the polls all day, while il IS
said that there were ample supplies Of
liquor at various places, with ample funds
to influence the doubtful ones and the
floaters. OF course, the temperance peo-
pie could not meet these arguments,
and so they lost.

The talk OF the community at present is
with reference to the great sale which is
now in progress at the store of Mr.. Jacob
Wintermoyer deceased, Shepherds
town, w. Va. MeSsrs. Jones and Jolliffe,
Commercial Operators, OF Frederick, Md,
are making good impressions upon the
many persons who daily visit their store.
Correct representations, goods of much
greater value than the price asked, and a
large stock from which to make selections,
are proof positive to all that this is the
time to purchase Mems Clothing, Hats,
Caps, Gloves, Shirts, Cuffs, Collars, Ties,
etc The increasing crowds of each day
show that those who buy are showing
their gratitude to the men who save them
money on their purchaes by telling their

Creamery Begins Operation.

The Charles Town Creamery Company,
recently organized for the purpose of
conductinga creamery at the place named,
has begun business. The building has
been completed, the machinery installed,
and the business is in active operation.
AT meeting OF the stockholders last
weak the following were chosen as a
board of management to carry on the
business and have entire charge Of the
creamery: w. A. Higgs, c. N. Coleman,
w. A. Fulk, D. Z. Roger, c. J. Cavalier,
A. C. Davis and George B. Goetz, Mr..
Roger being chosen as president OF the
board. E. E. Cooke is secretary and
treasurer. Amos J. Wildman, an exper-
fenced butter maker, has been employed
to operate the butter factory.
What the company needs now to make
a success is milk. The plan of operation
is that all those who bring milk to the
factory, whether stockholders or not,
will be treated exactly alike. They will
be credited up with the amount OF butter
fat their milk shows by the Babcock test.
The butter will be sold in city markets at
the highest price, and from the amount
received will be deducted the actual cost
of making same per pound, which will be
very small, and the owner will receive
the balance. These creamerieS have
been conducted all over the country with
great success and it only remains with
our farmers to make this such. There
are only two things necessary to do this,
one is that they produce the milk and the
Other that they help the company by their
good will
For the present milk will be received
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday OF
each week and butter will be made on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 1t is
expected in a short while to establish
milk routes. Meanwhile il is hoped the
farmers will not wait for this to bring
milk to the factory, as there will be some
preliminary delays in arranging all details
OF the milk routes.

Martinsburg Gets New Postmaster.
Congressman SturgiSS last Saturday
ended the long and bitter contest over
the Martinsburg postoffice by naming
Edward c. HenShaw as postmaster.
There were eight applicants for the place.
Postmaster Clohan wanted to succeed
himself, but as he had had twelve years
of fatness, Mr.. Sturgiss thought fourth
term was unreasonable. Other applicants
were John ]. Hetzel and Charles Lamar,
With several lesser party lights. Many
w. E. Hoffheins, publisher OF the World,
delegations visited Washington in behalf
of the respective candidates, but after
considering the matter carefully Mr.. Stur-

nue. service, with headquarters IN Mar
