Some Snap Shots.

We find the following in the
Martinsburg Oracle written from
Rush Hill by Sporting Sam"
Rush Hill is an up-to-date,
lively little town with many in
teresting features; the most in
teresting at present is, the "Star
Gun Club. "
The club was recently organ
lied and holds its weekly tourn-
aments every Wednesday even
ing among the kline and swine in
Mr.. Barney's pasture.
At the last meet the score was
unusually startling. l.. knoeble
carrying off the highest honOrs
by breaking "a IL birds out of 20.
Some of the less fortunate men.
berS became sore because of Mr.
Knobel's unfailing Workmanship
and spent two days in whiting
ii half dozen wooden birds and
painted them SO that they could
not be distinguished from the
real article. But, 10! Mr.. kno
ebel broke them all with the lef'
hand barrel.
Until Mr.. Knoeble found tha'
the left barrel was especially
gifted, Pete Erdel had alway'
wore the belt. Altho he is striving
by fair means and foul to regain
his former position in the club
we fear his laurels are gone for
ever.
Mr.. Barney can always breal
% birdS-when he wants to, bu
we have noticed that when h,
wants to" he generally has bus
mess that calls him out of town
Others who deserve specia
mention are Messrs Will Doolin
Val Erdel and George Kellerhals
Frank Erdel always reminds us o
the small boy who, when aske'
how many fish he had caught, re
piled: "whcn | get the one In

The Clarkson- Edison Case.

A new trial was granted last
week in the case of Ora Edison, of
Rush Hill, against the Clarkson
Realty Investment Co. Edison
sued for damages in the real
estate deal by which he became
the owner of the ClarksOn Hotel.
In the trial about year ago he
got a verdict for a 200 against
the defendant.
The court gave the following
reasons for granting the new
trial:
"The pleading and proceedings
in the former ease of Ora Edison
against the Clarkson Realty & In
vestment Company involved all
the issues of law and fact which
are involved in the present action
and a Judgment and finding il
aid action constitutes complete
defense and bar the present
action and the court erred in not
instructing the jury; second, tn,
court should have declared as /,
natter of law that the former adj
/ iudicatiOn in the ease was com
plete bar and defense to the pres
ent action.
The third reason the court as
signed was that it erred in not al
lowing this instruction to tn,
jury: "That the court instruct,
the jury that the proceedings il
the ease constitutes a bar to tn,
action and the verdict will he fo
the defendant. :"

six MILES FINISHED.
The Electric Railway Now Within
Three Miles of Molino.

The track laying for the sixth
mile of the electric railway was
completed last week toward
NoIino from Mexico. Friday

went out in the electric car from
Mexico over the entire line.
In the party were: X. l.. Phil

It is still "On to Molino ~
Three more miles and the road
will he there, and then everybody
out that way will he ready to cele-
brate. 1t will then be con to
Santa Fe and Perry" The rails
are now down to mile beyond
Sun Rise church, and everybody
hereabouts knows where that is.
The Paris Appeal complained
last week that the electric road
was not building as rapidly to-
ward Molino as on the south
division toward Hereford and
Columbia. Why not? There are
but four miles of road finished on
the south division but there are
six, as we have said above, on the
north division.
But when the weather gets set
tied, and spring is here again,
then see things move in electric
road matters.

THE GROUND HOG.
Nothing Can Put the Hoodoo on
Him and Stop His Fool
Projects.

Rev. II. |. Cobb tells the Mes
sage that they "sorter" worship
the ground hog down in the Tar
Hill country where he came from,
Burlington, n. c. The News of
that town discusses His Majesty
and uses the following article i'll
which it happens to refer to Mr..
John q. Cant, who happens to be
cousin to our good friend
Green" Cant, southwest of Mex
leo. The News says:
His Majesty, the Ground Hog,
holds the boards this week. The
question is being discussed, as to
whether he came out and re-
mained out, or did he go back.
Our friend, Mr.. John z. Cant,
who is authority, having studied
the antics of his majesty, says
that he came out, and remained
out. That he got too far from his
den to go back when the sun came
out.
Chris Isley says since the cleo
tion last fall the ground hog has
been afraid to come out and that
he is still in his hole.
We believe that we have the old
man beat this year. The first Sun
day in February was nice and
clear, and this means that every
Sunday during February will be
clear. Monday was bad day,
and this means that every Mon
day in the month will he bad, and
so we figure that we are going to
have a sizzly-sozzle forty days.
Sorty rain and sorty not.
1t will be like the old man that
had two wild mules. They had a
heavy load on one day, and
bawked. He called to his wife to
come out and shake the sheep skin
at them, telling her to sOrty shake
it and sorty not. just to shake II
enough to make them pull, but not
enough to make them run away
, She shook the skin and the mule'
ran away and came near killing
, the old fellow. AS his wife pulled
him out of the ditch where he haC
been dumped by the mules h'
wiped the dirt out of his moutl
and yelled, Nlirandy, now haint
YOU gone and done it. told yOr
to sOrty shake that sheep skin, anC
, sorty not to shake it, and you NJ
an acted the fool and shook it too
much and made them blamed
mules run away and mighty nigl
kill me" "
5 So it remains to be seen whethe
the ground hog is TO do business
) or not. Everything is agin him
e but when he gets busy there i
nothing can put the hoo-doo ol
q him, and stop his fool projects.

zeal order but happened to slip in

After the eating came the

been present and heard them.
DR.. w. l.. Reed, president of the
