Another important History.

Hon. Thomas c. Miller, of this place,
has agreed to give editorial supervision
to an historical work that promises to be
OF the greatest interest and value to the
people of this section. Its "Genealog-
ical and Personal History OF the Panhan-
die and South Branch Region of West
Virginia." and will be published by the
Lewis Historical Publishing Company Of
New York. The local representative Of
the company is H. l. Cook, who is now
working in ShepherdStown and vicinity
in the interest OF the forthcoming volumes.
Notwithstanding the fact that number
of personal family histories have appear
ed in this section from time to time, no
work of such magnitude has heretofore
been undertaken in this part Of West Viz
ginia, and il is believed that before the
books are completed majority OF the
leading family connections will be repre-
scented in it. Jefferson county, being one
of the oldest settlements in the State, has
a record OF which she is proud, and to
perpetuate a correct historical record is
most desirable. Every community with
such ample history should see that it be
worthily supplemented by genealogical
and personal memoirs Of its leading FAM
lilies and prominent citizens and the incl
dents Of the passing years. No expense
or care will be spared in seeking to make
this valuable and satisfactory history,
and the editors and publishers will unite
in getting out work that shall be last
ing memorial OF this section. Mr.. Cooke
informs us that he is meeting with much
encouragement in the undertaking, and
we bespeak for him the hearty support
and cooperation OF our people.

FREE IF 1T FAILS.
Your Money Back If You are not sat-
isfied with the Medicine We
Recommend.

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer TO furnish the medicine at our ex-
pense should it fail TO produce satisfactory
results.
II is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or catharticS do much harm.
They cause areaction, irritate, and weak
en- the bowels and tend to make consti-
patton more chronic. Besides, their use
becomes habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles OF the large
intestine or descending colon. To ex-
pect permanent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these organs and
restore them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on Our recommendation. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant TO take, being eaten
like candy and are ideal for children, del
icate persons, and old folks, as well as
for the robust. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels. They
apparently have neutral action on other
associate organs and glands. They do
not purge, cause excessive looseness, nor
create any inconvenience whatever. They
may be taken at any time, day or night.
They will positively relieve chronic or
habitual constipation, if not OF surgical
variety, and the myriads Of associate OF
dependent chronic ailments, if taken with
regularity for a reasonable length OF time
II tablets, 10 cents; Sc tablets, 3 cents
so tablets, 80 cents. Sold in Shepherds
town only at our store-The Rexall Store

mittee in charge OF the work TO continue
the line up Princess street to German
street and turning proceed up the main
street as far as the funds will permit =.
Other business was taken up and per-
mission was given Mr.. Duke TO erect a
small booth beside the fire tower from
which TO sell peanuts. The textbooks
were turned over to Sergeant SIMPLIFY for
collection. After ordering number OF
bills paid, the council adjourned.

The large brick manufacturing shops
in Shepherdstown have been sold to h..
E. Mundey and ]. Hugh Miller for 81 600.
Mr.. Miller is one OF the owners OF the

Photograph Calls the Cows.

Monroe, Wis, March 3l.-The
photograph, through the ingenuity Of
a couple Of boys in this neighborhood,
has become thing of usefulness as
well as amusement.
After the novelty had worn off, the
boys in question had cast aside the
canned" songs and funny talks and
gone back to checkers. But they
found that doing the chores seriously
interfered with the game.
One Of them remembered that they
could talk into the records and have
the talk come out just like it went in.
So, between moves, each called into
the machine, Come, Boss; come,
Boss. -
Then they put the photograph
facing the pasture and turned it loose.
The cows came home.
