Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1911-05-04
Personal NOTES.

Mr.. VIM. H. Johnson and his wife and
son moved this week from McMechen,
w. Va, to Mr.. Johnson'S farm north OF
Shepherdstown, where they will make
their abiding place in the future. Mr..
Johnson was for about fifty years in the
B. & o. service, running as a passenger
engineer between Grafton and Wheeling,
and having retired from active duty he
concluded to come back to the old family
homestead and take things easy for the
remainder of his days. Our people will
give him and his family hearty welcome
to our community, and we hope that he
may keep on schedule time right along,
with clear track and good roadbed until
the end OF the run. In the meantime, we
have no doubt that he will make an ad-
mirable farmer, as we understand il is his
intention to have his COWS give the best
of cream, raise hogs that shall be all ham
and develop chickens that shall lay dou-
ble-yolk eggs and have four drum-StickS
each.
