William L. Reinhart has with his family
moved from the Aglionby farm to the
property on Washington street owned by
Chas. S. Miller, formerly known as the

greatly improved, and number of new
rooms have been added. Mr.. Remnant
will run it as students boarding house.
A pretty wedding was celebrated in the
Charles Town Baptist Church last We'd
neSday, when Mr.. T. William NARROW, a

his farm of 229 acres in Loudoun county,
Va, three miles from Harper'S Ferry, to
]. Adridge Lewis for 200. MIR. Engle
owned the farm for about four years. Mr..
Lewis, who is native of Jefferson coun-
ty, but who is now travelling, with head
quarters in Cincinnati, will probably set
out large apple orchards on the place.
Last year a number of persons living
outside of town contributed to the cam
pagn fund OF the Anti-Saloon League,
because they felt interested in the temper
ance cause. The League will be glad to
have IFS country friends help again, as
money is needed to pay for speakers, lit
erature and other legitimate expenses.
Any contributions may be sent TO or left
with Treasurer w. p. Licklider or John
H. Schoppert.
Major and Mrs. J. Ed Duke, OF Cumber-
land, Md, celebrated the fiftieth anniver-
sary of their marriage on Monday. They
were married in this county in 1860, and
for many years lived in Charles Town.
In 1888 they moved to Cumberland, and
for q years Major Duke was chief book
keeper in the office of the Georges Creek

Prof. r. p. McGarry, c. Shepherd Col
lege, has arranged for another visit from
DR.. Byron w. King, the famous head OF
Kings School OF Oratory OF Pittsburg. DR..
King will come to ShepherdStown on
March Doth, and his welcome is assured
in advance. We have not forgotten his
optimistic originality, his wit, his CHEEKY
good humor and his delightful personality,
and our people will surely give him the
glad hand when he comes again.
The robins are here! They seem to
have come on the wind from the South
the first OF the week, for Tuesday morn
ing, the first day OF March, scores OF them
were noticed about town. The robins
are among our first and most welcome
summer visitors, and we hope that their
cheerful presence means that the back
bone OF winter has at last been broken.
1t is strictly against the law to shoot rob-
ms, besides being an indefenSi6le cruelty,
and everybody ought to treat them well.
! There are advertised in the Register
this week seventeen sales OF personal
property and three OF real estate-twenty
in ALL This is, so far as we know, the
greatest number of public sales that have
ever been advertised in any issue of a pa
per in Shepherdstown at one time. II is
something of a tax on our equipment, but
we think that all OF them will be found to
be printed in clear legible type and well
displayed. 1t is very gratifying to lis C
know that the Register is so widely rec
ognized as a first-claSS advertising med
ium, and we can assure our friends who
have so literally patronized us that their
sales will be read by most OF the people
in this part OF the country.
The frame Westinghouse belonging tc
the heirs of David Hawn, deceased, cas-
of Uvila, was destroyed by fire early las
Saturday morning. On Friday J. A
Hawn, who occupied the place, had made
sale of his household effects, and no one
stayed in the house that night. A fire
was left in stove, and it is thought thai
a spark from the stove or burning 500
| from the chimney fell on some waste pa
per lying on the floor and started the blaze
to The fire was discovered between five and
six O'Clock Saturday morning, and Mr.
Hawn and some of the neighbors man.
, aged to save what few articles remained
t in the house. Mr.. Hawn succeeded also
in getting from an upper story his trunk
