known as the Files farm, about six miles

Thew Are Coming.

The committee of the Village Improve
ment Society, in charge OF Homecoming
Week for Shepherdstown, September lst
to Sth next, is getting many responses
from former Shepherdstowners and resi-
dents OF Jefferson county who are in
terested in this event, and the probability
is that there will be great reunion here.
Much interest is being manifested in every
direction, and we see no reason why this
should not be most notable event in the
history OF Shepherdstown. Rev. Harry
B. Lee, of Charlottesville, Va, a beloved
old Shepherdstown boy, writes as fol-
lows
Dear Register have received the in
vitation OF the committee to be present
on the occasion of the CLONE coming
Week" am making my plans to accept
it, as all loyal, loving sons of the dear old
town should. II there is a son or daugh-
ter OF the old town who does not want TO
be there it must be due to the fact that
they are ashamed, for some reason, to
meet the splendid company which am
sure will assemble. 1t will certainly be
joyful occasion, though to many OF us
the Joy will be mingled with sorrow, for
so large proportion OF the friends and
companions OF our youth have passed
over the river" Still, there are enough
TO make goodly company.
! am going 10 make few suggestions,
though they may not be entirely feasible.
L. Could you not have Jew plank
piled up near Fayman's run where we
used to battle that we might capture"
some OF them TO make dam? II Will
Rightstine or Lou Little are about there,
they can DO the capturing, and | will
help build the dam.
2 Coley Wintermoyer should have on
hand some fiShing-worms, for we GER
tainly ought TO try to catch few suckers,
catfish and some eels.
3. A place back OF the old market
house should be reserved for a game OF
''town ball."
4. Ii Elmer Rentch is there, he and Will
RightStine should play few games OF
marbles.
s. Then the whole crowd must 90
down to the FLAT rock" and take a swim.
g. 1t may be that John Quigley will ar
range for a burleSque tournament, such
as remember he and lot OF others had
in Main street many years since.
am overlooking the fact that all those
whom have named were boys some
80 years since and may not be supple
enough TO enter into this kind OF fun, but
we are all going to "renew our youth, y
so may not be far out, after all. Judg-
ing b. what saw when in town some
months since, the town itself shows no
signs OF advancing years.
With all good wishes for the success
OF "Home- coming Week" and deter
minaton TO be present if possible, | am
sincerely yours, H. b. LEE.
