That Locust Pest.

That Locust Pest.
The Department OF Agriculture at
Washington states that the insect that is
ravaging the foliage OF the locust trees in
this section is the leaf-mining beetle (Od-
ontota dorsalis thumb. This insect is
periodical as regards attack and there is
not much danger OF it killing the trees.
This insect" says DR.. L. o. Howard,
chief entomologist, "is subject TO very
considerable fluctuation in numbers, and
may be abundant one season and scarce
again for number OF years. 1t is nearly
always more or less troublesome to lc-
Gust trees in Maryland, Virginia, and the
District OF Columbia. 1t is, however, not
considered to be dangerous enemy OF
the tree, and in fact have never known
tree to be killed by it. The larva feeds
within the leaf and cannot be reached by
a spray. The protection of wooded
tracts in which the locust predominates
is practically out of the question, but
where only few trees in yard are to
be protected it may be well to spray with
an arsenical solution upon the first ap-
pearance OF the beetles, which is usually
in May. The beetles themselves feed to
some extent, and are thus killed before
they lay their eggs. AT this time there
is nothing TO be done, but wherever pos
sible in dooryards and such places the
leaves should be- raked up very promptly
in the autumn and burned"

Another Landmark Gone.

The old log blacksmith shop al me COZ
ner of Princess and Washington streets
so long used by the late John H. Snyder
has been torn down to make room for
the new garage of VanMetre Bros. In
its destruction another ancient Landmark
passes away, for it was for many years a
busy place and resort known far and
wide. This shop was the typical village
smithy, and its proprietor
The smith, mighty man was he,
With large and sinewy hands
And the muscles of his brawny arms
AS strong as iron bands.
John Snyder, the blacksmith who con-
Quoted the shop for many years, was a
large, handsome man, and is well remem-
bered by many persons still living. He
was assisted by his brother, Conrad Sny-
der, also a man of fine physique, but
handicapped with wooden leg. Among
the earliest recolIections gilmore than one
small boy is the facinating spectacle OF
these two big men in the grirDy shop
pounding alternately with powerful blows
upon the white -hot iron, and as fearful
looking sparks flew in every direction
shaped it into parts for wagons or horse
shoes. In those days horseshoeS and
nails were forged by hand from hon.
est 'front.' was before machines took
this Job from the skilled worker in the
little shops. Then with what thrill the
same small boy watched the shoeing OF a
fractions horse, or, if the animal was not
dangerous, earned penny by brushing
flies from the beast with brush made
some other horses tail.
This old shop was more than work
ing place, for when the bellows had
ceased its wheeling and the fire had
been covered, when the sound OF the
hammer was still as the evening sun grew
low, here gathered the neighborhood
wiseacres to discuss town topics and
public affairs and talk over a thousand
and one matters of private orgeneral in
terest.
But few OF these ancient men are left
now. Both OF the Snyders died years
ago. Henry Selby, who talked little him
self but was a regular attendant at the
discussions Abram Harris, who had a
wit that enabled him to best many an ad-
versary; genial Teddy KeySer, who
found fault with no man; James Fayman,
who was in his time an oracle; Adam
Rightstine, who knew something OF black
smithing himself-all these have passed
away, yielding to the Entertainments OF
time as did The great old silverleaf trees
that once shaded the corner on every
side. But two Of these aged men, as we
recall, are living now-John H. Keeseck-
er, the keeper OF the bridge, and Henry
Cookus, who moved away long since and
now resides in Hagerstown.

Where They Will Teach.

The teachers for the public schools OF
this district outside of town have been
appointed for the ensuing year. Clyde
Moler is to be principal and Miss Mary
DonIey assistant at the Moler'S school;
Miss Helen Link goes back to Uvilla,
with Miss Lalla Maddox assistant; Miss
Florence Maddox returns to Shepherd
Grade, Miss Nellie Mcdonald to Lemen'S,
Miss Fife MClntire to Edgewood, and
Miss Florence Licklider to DuffieldS.
Prof. F. A. Byerly, who taught last
year at Petersburg, Grant county, gets
the school at Shenandoah Junction, and
Miss Florence Lancaster will be assistant.
Miss Ola Conner gets the school at Bar
dane. J. Allnut Engle resigned as prin-
cipal OF the Harper'S Ferry school, and
will teach the Bakerton school, succeed
ing Miss Rose Cockrell. She gets the
Bolivar school, with Miss Agnes Rein
hart as assistant, and Mr.. Jack Knott has
been appointed principal OF the Harper's
Ferry school. Charles H. Reinhart will
be principal OF the public school OF Hin
ton, w. Va, and Miss Minnie Stephens
has a place in the same school. Miss Le-
nora Marten will teach in Philippi, w.
Va, and Miss Frances Wright has gotten
a school in Preston county. William D..
Hines has school at Midway, w. Va,
near BIuefeld, and Carlton Stanton goes
to Riner'S, Va.
Miss Anna Hause and Miss Nellie Sta
ley have been appointed TO places in the
public school at Elkins, where Miss HauSe
taught last year. Miss Louise Sigler gets
a school at Thomas, w. Va.
II is said that there are a good many
more applicants than schools this year,
and number OF teachers are still looking
anxiously for places. Some who had
schools last year have none this, while
quite a number OF new teachers are yet
without places, This is rather unusual,
as heretofore there has been difficulty in
finding sufficient teachers in West Viz
ginia.

BUSINESS Change.

Frank L. Johnson, who with J. Hugh
Miller established the Shepherdstown ice
mandatory year or two ago. has sold
his interest in the company to Paul K.
Davis, the transfer having been made last
Monday. Mr. Davis, who is son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Hamilton Davis, is a
former Shepherdstown boy, but for some
years past has been with the Westing-
house Company in Pittsburg. The ice
plant is now well established and has
been running TO its capacity all summer,
with fine prospects for the balance OF the
season. We hope that it may continue
to prosper under the new management.
Mr.. Johnson has not yet arranged any
new business plans.

Another Snake Story.

The Registers snake story this week
is up to the standard, as may be noted
by the facts that follow. A few days ago
Alice Needy, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
H. F. Needy, IT,, of Ferry Hill Farm, OPP
posite Shepherdstown, heard noise in
an upper room of their home, and inves-
tigation showed that it proceeded from
the fireplace. She pulled the screen back,
and there was a big blacksnake devouring
a nest of young swallows which had
either fallen from the chimney or been
pulled down by the snake. Alice ran
and told her father, who went upstairs
and killed the serpent, which measured
5 feet 4 inches in length. 1t is thought
that the snake may have gotten into the
room by climbing a tree and crawling
out on limb that extended to the WIN
dow, or possibly it got to the roof OF the
house and crawled down the chimney,
taking the swallows with it. This is moi
the first time that blacksnakes have been
found in the house at Ferry Hill, and
strange to say, they have been killed
before in the fireplaces.

Big Yarns About Liquor Selling.

A good deal of bosh is being written
and talked OF concerning the enormous
amount Of business that is being done by
Albertus Spencer, at his whiskey saloon
opposite Harper's Ferry, since Jefferson
county has gone dry. The yarns are
that he is taking in the cash at the rate of
thousands of dollars day and has four
banks in which he deposits money, carry
ing if to them by the suitcaseful. WhiS-
key and beer are shipped to him by the
carload, dozen clerks are needed 10
accommodate the crowds that flock to
his saloon, and Spencer himself can do
nothing but count money. The most OF
this talk is plain lies. No doubt Spen-
GERS business has increased, tor a GER
tain proportion OF the old toperS who
have been used to drinking at the places
now closed will find their way to his dis
pensary. But il is well-known fact that
prosperous men do not as a rule fool their
money away in bar-rooms, whose chief
patrons are the poor fellows who have
perhaps something between dime and a
dollar TO spend. Spencer is doubtless
getting a good deal OF this sort OF money
to the detriment OF suffering wives and
needy chiIdren-but his gin-mill is not
yet equal to the United States Treasury,
and no one need begrudge him the tainted
treasure that he is laying up.
The same sort OF yarns are being used
in Shepherdstown in reference TO the
whiskey trade of Sharpsburg. State
ments were made last Saturday night that
fully 200 persons from ShepherdStown
had gone to Sharpsburg for booze. In
vestigation showed that some eight bug
gieS, about half OF which were occupied
by negroes, had driven to the Maryland
town, and one or two parties had gone
over in automobiles for possibly the same
purpose. The fact that there was no
disorder here Saturday night, not single
arrest having been made, shows how
little liquor was consumed by persons
from this place The "wetS" are doing
everything that they can TO miSrepresent
"dry" conditions, but they are laboring
in vain. The good order and Sobriety
and decency OF our town and county are
apparent TO all except the wiltully blind.

A Distressing Case.

We are very sorry to note serious i'll
ness that has seized upon William Kear-
fott, the youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. H. Kearfott and grandson OF John
p. Kearfott, ESQ.,, of KearneySville. A
couple OF weeks ago Mr.. Kearfott RETURN
ed from visit to relatives in New York,
and upon his way home stopped off in
Washington. AT the latter place he went
swimming in the big bathing pool OF the
Y. M. c. A. building, and in diving struck
his head a rather severe blow upon the
bottom OF the tank. Upon his return home
he seemed TO be indiSposed, and has
since become much worse, having be-
come affected mentally, presumably from
an injury to his brain. Tuesday, upon
the advice of physicians, he was taken to
a Hospital nearBaltimore fortreatment. We
Join with the many friends of the family
in the hope that he may be fully restored
to health. William is fine young man
and has been one OF the hardest students
and brightest young men in Shepherd
College.

Lost His Job.

Lost His Job.
James E. Barnhat, who for the past
thirty years has carried the mail between
the Shepherdstown postoffice and the
railroad station, has at last lost the job.
When the new station was completed,
the distance 10 the postoffice was lessen
ed and under the postal regulations it be-
came necessary for the railroad company
to deliver the mail, the old route contract
being abrogated. For some time Mr..
Barnhart has carried the mail under an
arrangement with n. & w. Agent Sped
den, but week or two ago Mr.. Sped
den undertook to deliver the mail on his
own account, and his son Julian now car
ries il between station and postoffice
During the thirty years that Mr.. Barnhart
carried the mail, so far as we know, not a
single complaint was made, for in fair and
stormy weather, whether the trains were
late or on time, he was there with the
goods, always faithful and efficient. In
stead OF taking away his job, Uncle Sam
should pension him.
