For An Old Home Week.

The Village Improvement Society Of
| Shepherdstown has inaugurated move
ment for an old home week for this COM
munity, the date for which has been SET
for the week beginning September 4th.
H. L. Snyder has been made chairman oil
the committee having the matterin charge
and his committee will 60 actively to
work on its plans. The Register will be
used TO make public the details OF the
project and TO keep the people informed.
The week chosen is that when the Nor
CANS Grove fair will be held.
The intention is to interest all the SONS
and daughters of Shepherdstown, includ-
ing also the grandchildren and the cousins
and the aunts and uncles and kinfolk to
the remotest degree, in home coming,
when all of those who have gone from
this community shall come back once
more and visit the familiar scenes and re-
new old acquaintance. Scattered over
the earth are many hundreds OF natives
of this section who will doubtless be glad
to come back to the old home town, and
an effort will be made TO have them all
here in September to greet our people
and each other. They are dispersed
north, south, east and west, in Europe,
Japan, China and the islands of the seas,
but it is hoped that none are so far away
that they will not respond to the invita-
ton to come home again.
Many who have gone from Shepherds
town and Jefferson county have become
famous, and it is designed to have ouI
distinguished sons and daughters assist
in a programme ofentertanment that sh all
be provided for mutual entertainment. II
is intended to have addresses and recep-
tons and meetings Of various sorts during
the week, and our visitors will be given
hearty welcome publicly and privately
Of course the plans have not been yet
formulated, but we will keep the people
posted as arrangements are made.
The committee first OF all wants to Sc
cure the name OF every person who may
be interested, and will be glad to have
the names and addresses of all former
residents of ShepherdStown or Jefferson
county or those who are likely TO join ir
the proposed celebration and reunion
Letters and literature will be sent to all
these and record made OF those who
signify their intention of being here next
September. The chairman OF the COM
mittee, however, extends general invi-
tation to all to come, and will be glad to
have responses without the formality o.
a special invitation. And inquiries will
be cheerfully answered. Address letters
to H. L. Snyder, ShepherdStown.
We hope that all OF our people will give
hearty encouragement and co-opera-
ton, for the ultimate purpose OF the home =
coming, if successful, will mean great
public benefit to our community which
will be revealed later. In the meantime,
we hope that the friends OF Shepherds
town at home and abroad will unite ir
making the home coming great event
in our local affairs.

Jefferson Circuit Court.

Judge Faulkner, owing to indiSpoSl-
ton, adjourned court last Saturday until
June 9Th, leaving number OF cases I'M
disposed of that he had expected to try.
We note the following items Of business
that were transacted before adjournment
The first jury trial was the case Of T. R.
Moore, chairman OF the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee of this county, against
Sheriff c. D. Wysong, for the alleged
non-payment Of balance OF $50 on an
assessment placed upon him by the ex-
ecutive committee of the county when he
was nominee for sheriff in 1908. Pay
ment of the full amount assessed was re-
fused on the ground that it was excessive,
in the judgment of the defendant, After
the evidence was adduced, counsel agreed
to take verdict for $S7.45, the amount
claimed with interest, subject to the de-
ciSion of the court on the law covering
the case.
The indictment that has been pending
against w. H. Miller since the October
term, 1909, was nollied on motion ofState' S
Attorney Moore, the charges on which
the indictment was found having been
compromised by the defendant, who ar
ranged for the payment of the claims
against him. Three suits brought by the
Shenandoah Valley Bank OF Winchester,
one each against Ben Brady, Logan Ma
gaia and Edmonia Coins, and growing
out of transactions leading up TO the Mil
Ter indictment, were dismissed from the
docket, the claims on which they were
based having been satisfied.
Thirty days after the adjournment o.
court were allowed the defendant in the
case of N. w. Busey VS.. c. E. Bushong,
to prepare special pleas to the declaration
of the plaintiff.
A verdict for 1891 was given George
E. Athey in an action against Mrs. Mary
c. Licklider, whose tenant the plaintiff
was for year or two until April |, 1908
The case grew out OF contract about
division OF the profits of flock OF sheep
owned by Mrs. Licklider, and which were
cared for by the plaintiff during his tenan-
cy.
Judge Faulkner ruled on the demurrer
to the evidence in the case of jenkins ad-
ministrator versus the Standard Lime and
Stone Company, sustaining the demurrer
1t will be recalled that this was an actor
for damages against the Standard Com
pany as the result of an explosion OF dy-
mantle at the Millville quarries, by which
Jenkins lost his life. A jury at previous
term OF the court had awarded his admin.
istrator verdict for $1,000. The effec
of the courts ruling is to nullify the ver'
dict of the jury.
The suit OF Rev. J. E. Triplett againS
the Jefferson County Telephone Com
pany was continued until the next term.
The suit of A. E. Boswell against Mrs
!. P. Wintermoyer, from ShepherdStown
was decided in favor of MIR. Boswell
This suit was to secure possession OF the
house belonging TO the plaintiff, which /:
occupied by the latter.

we print in the Register, but we don't
stand for Charlie Nichols'S cut-worm
yarns. There has been unusual COM
plant of the ravages of cut-worms this

TO plant over entire fields. It's no WON

were that many in hill some one put
them there.

Railroad Rumors.

II is rumored that there will be impor-
tant changes in the running of passenger
trains on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
when the new schedule goes into effect,
which will probably be next Sunday. 1t
is said that train No. 8, bound, which
stops at Shenandoah Junction at 1927 a.
m, will pass there about two hours ear
lier without stopping, and that No. !,
west-bound, which reaches there at $50
D. m, will also cut out this stop. II is
the intention OF the company, iii report
ed, to shorten the time OF the Chicago
and St. Louis trains several hours, and in
order that this can be done number OF
stops will be eliminated and fast and
powerful engines will haul the trains.
The local business now handled by No.
| and No. 8 will be taken care Of. it is
said, by new trains that will be put on to
run from Cumberland to Washington.
East bound, this train will run on the
time now occupied by No. 8, while re-
turning from Washington il will run ear
lier in the afternoon than No. /. No Of
fetal information has yet been given out,
but these are some Of the rumors afloat.

Look to the Brand

Wise women who need a medicine
for ailments peculiar to their sex,
should buy that which has been long
established and is vouched for by
many other women with satisfactory
results. In this way you are on the
safe side. NIN-O-VITE the great
Southern Female Panacea, for the
relief of their pains, ailments and
discomforts, is the remedy that will
not dissapoint. 1t has cured hun
dreds of women of weakness and 9TH
er ailments, hence there is no reason
why it will not continue to cure.
Further, it is perfectly harmless.
Druggists sell it at $1.00 per bottle.
