important Real Estate Sale.

Col. Isaac V. Johnson has sold his farm
three or four miles north Of Shepherds
town to William H. Martin, of Waynes-
vile, Illinois, for $4,000. The place
contains 3l3 acres, and is well improved
with excellent buildings, and is located
at the north end ofthe Shepherd turnpike.
This farm was owned by the Shepherd
family for somethinglike hundred years,
and was known as the Lower Farm
Three years ago il was bought from Mrs.
Shepherd and her sons by Col. Johnson
who was formerly State Auditor of West
Virginia. Col. Johnson's health has not
been so good, and the care ofso large
place was more than he wished to have up
on him, so he concluded to sell.
Mr.. Martin spent the past summer with
his family in Shepherdstown and was ia
vorably impressed with the farm then. A
few weeks ago he returned othis section
and opened negotiations for the purchase
of the place. The deal was closed on
Saturday last. Mr.. Martin paid 5000
down, and on March 10th will pay the
remainder, $4,000, in cash. He gets
possession the first of April, and expects
to move here about the middle Of May
and make his home on the farm.
The new owner is a native OF this vi
cinity, having been born in the house a
short distance west OF town, along the
MartinSburg road, on the farm now owned
by Mrs. D. L. Rentch, in 1881. He went
West IN 1850, where he has greatly pros
pered, but never has lost his love for his
old home. He recently sold his farm
near Waynesville for the snug sum OF
SIS, OO0-l60 acres at $l75 an acre-wlth
the view of making a change, and now
returns to his native place. Mr.. Martin
informs us that he has visited Dakota,
Kentucky and Tennessee in search OF a
new home, and after careful inspection
and consideration came to the conclusion
that there is no place as desirable as the
Shenandoah Valley. Its climate and seem
cry appeal to him more strongly than any
other section; the fertility Of its soil and
fine fruit are excelled nowhere; and the
splendid roads OF Jefferson county and
the excellent schools were the final fac
tors in inducing him to locate here. Al
though Mr.. Martin is 70 years of age, ne
is strong and active and vigorous and
bids fair to live yet many years. His fam
lily is composed of himself, his wife and
two little girls. A son by his first wife
lives in Chicago. Mr.. Martin will secure
a tenant for his farm and run the place as
is customary in this section. We hope
that he may find our neighborhood all
that he hopes for and that he may live
long to enjoy his new home.
Col. Johnson has not yet decided where
he will go. He hopes to secure smaller
place, and will remain in this section il
he finds home to suit him. We trust
that he may be able TO do so, for our
people would be sorry TO have him and
his excellent family leave our community.
The sale Of this place was negotiated
by Col. Johnson and the real estate agency
OF H. L. Snyder & Co.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Notwithstanding the seasonal lull
in business, general conditions are
fully normal and the volume OF
trade as measured by bank exchanges
and railroad earnings is very heavy.
There is wide diversity OF reports
from the different trade centers, but
even the least satisfactory indicates
no fundamental weakness. while the
majority of the reports, particularly
those farthest removed from the in
fuence of the unsettled conditions in
the financial markets. show healthy
condition Of affairs The distinguish
ing feature of the whole business
situation is the sharp contrast be-
tween the hesitation prevailing in
the security markets and the conf
dence and activity prevailing in pro-
ductive enterprises.
An increased demand for pig iron
Is indicated. with buyers displaying
more Interest than for several weeks
past. and prices show 4 hardening
tendency in some districts.
Trading in cotton goods was re-
stricted to some extent by unsettled
conditions in the raw material mar
knt. although in the face Of a sharp
decline in the staple there were large
sales OF print cloths.

Pensions for Lifesayers.

Whatever objection there may be
to all suggestions for the pensioning
of ordinary civil service employees,
there should be none to the bill pre-
scented by Senator Jones for the PEN
sioning Of men in the lifesaving ser
vice OF the country. The pension
system now applies to the personnel
OF the army, the navy and the reve-
nue. cutter service. The officers of
the latter service are placed on an
equality with those of the army and
navy in the matter OF retirement and
retiring pay. Service in the lifesav-
ing corps classes with a., services
wherein the pension system is now
considered proper.
The men in the lifesaving service
do their work at imminent peril Of
life and limb. Sickness and broken
constitutions have followed in in
Vulnerable instances from the work
done and hardships encountered in
lifesaving during the midwinter gales
of the Atlantic Coast As compared
with ordinary civil service positions,
the pay Of the men N the lifesaving
corps is scanty. Keepers of stations
get $500 a year, below the average
for departmental clerks, while surf
men get $50 month and. this only
for a portion OF the year.-Seattle
