The L0CuStS.

Not only the advance guard but the
main army of locusts are now
swarming in this section. They have
not been counted but their number is
estimated at millions. The impress
sion that they destroy vegetation is
no more correct than that the "W"
on each wing is sign of war. The
greatest injury will be to the young
fruit trees. When the female deposits
her eggs in the tender wood OF a young
tree, the branch dies and falls to the
ground. After seventeen years
Young locusts appear to repeat the
process. 1t is said that young locusts
have been found many feet below the
sur face.

Henry Getz Shoots Solomon
Middleton and Mrs. Bette
Eaton.

On last Saturday night, Henry
Getz shot Solomon Middleton. at
Strasburg. He also shot, prob
ably accidently, Mrs. Bette Ea-
ton. a first cousin of Middleton.
The shooting occurred in the
South end Of Strasburg, in front

grounds. Getz had gone to Stras-
burg Saturday morning from his
home back Of Saumsvil1e. He
got acquainted with Mrs. Bette
Eaton. He had been walking
out with Mrs. Eaton when they
met Middleton. The account as
given by Mr.. Middleton, brother
of wounded man, is that Middle
ton remarked You have no right
to be walking out here with
married woman Getz, it is
said, whipped out his revolver,
shot Middleton and then shot the
woman. The bullet took effect
in one of the woman'S thighs,
but she is said to be not seriously
wounded. The woman is a cousin
of Middleton and the wife of
John Eaton, but does not live
with her husband. Getz threw
the revolver away and tried to
make his escape. He was app
pretended by policeman Bly, and
was committed to the County jail
at Woodstock, where he is still
confined.
Middleton was taken to Stras-I
burg Junction and thence tol
on the 4 A. M. train. |
He was taken to the hospital and
operated upon at once. His

times, These perforations we're

hope of his recovery, though he

The Fruit Crop.

The fruit crop, we are sorry to learn,
will be small in this section. There
will be few cherries. The apples
which were estimated by some to be a
normal crop, will not be as abundant
as last year.
Where the trees bore heavily last
year, there will be few this year.
but where the orchards received
proper attention, the trees that were
barren last year will have a full crop
this year. The drouth has affected
the crop to some extent, especially
where the trees have not received at
tention.
The peaches in orchards that have
received attention will be fine.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR CLERK.

To THE VOTERS OF SHENANDOAH
COUNTY =
\ few years ago you we're induced
and persuaded by number OF our
mutual friends-w;th such aid as !
could give them, to choose and try me
as your County Clerk during this
short term-the shortest provided for
by the present constitution.
Even with my previous knowledge OF
the office, it was hardly to be expected
that | would be able, in this short
period OF probation, to measure up to
a high standard proficiency, but my
conscientious efforts to perform the
exacting duties of the office faithfully.
impartially and in an acceptabl man.
ner. and thereby show my apprecia-
ton of your confidence, have been met
with such kind indulgence and con-
sideration by all, without regard to
their politics, that have not only en-:
loved being in position where |
could serve them, but have been led
to hope that your action will be rati-
fed and confirmed by re-electing me
next Novem Der for the coming full
term. Very respectfully,
MARK B. WUNDER.

with visitors. Creations were deliver
ed by Anna Katherine Hotel, Fl. D

valedictory by Gracella Shank. All
OF these efforts were we'll received.
The honorary address of the occasion
was delivered by Hon. R. Gray viii
liams, of Winchester, Va. Mr.. VIII
llams is a young man, but neverthe-
less an orator OF pronounced ability.
In an entertaining and logical way he
proceeded to show that the present
day demands we'll educated men. All
professions are subjected to specials
cation and the opportunity for render
ing distinctive service is just as great
or even greater than ever. The adj
dress was suggestive to young men OF
the careers that may lie before them,
If they will proceed orderly to equip
themselves for solving the complex
problems that confront our legislative
capacity. And thus good citizens will
find sufficient need for interesting
themselves in their government and its
politics-being in this sense real citi-
zens of the commonwealth. 1t was
splendid presentation of the field of
endeavor that lies before the college
man OF the day, and we are sure that
the young graduates gathered some
ideos that will help them in making
their decisions as to professional SER
vice. Mr.. Williams is most pleas
ing speaker and maintained the high
ideals of service so ably presented by
DR.. Battle on the occasion of the bac-
calaureate sermon. In summing up,
he considered that good citizens can
not exist without the moral force that
must permeate our national life, if we
would be righteous and exalted ma
ton. 1t was fine address, full of
thought, and delivered in most con-
vincing manner, with the ring Of deep
conviction.
This has been one of the best COM
mencements Massanutten has had.
The addresses have been of high char
acter, marked by excellent scholarship
and power of persuasion. The stud
ents have acted we'll their parts in the

The Sherwood dollar-a-day pen.
sion bill was passed by the House OF
representatives by an overwhelm-
irg majority About one-thlrd of
the Democratic members voted
against the bill and only eight Re-
publicans opposed 1t. The bill is a
political measure that has no sound
principle in its support and goes
counter to any true policy Of public
economy. Some of the members who
voted for the bill are said to have
50 cast their votes because of their
belief that the Senate would defeat
it as 1t had done in the case of the
Sulloway pension bill last spring
This was am unworthy evasion of
responsibility based on the idea that
Senators having longer terms OF
office are less likely to be moved by
personal political expediency to sus-
tain a measure that is more of a
bid for votes than an appeal to JUS.
